Hats of Feathers.

Nowadays one need not be content
with a single feather in the hat, since
entire chapeaux are made of feathers.
There are many novelties in these
feather hats. Heretofore they have
been in tuTban sizes Now one may
have one of them in anything from a
tiny toque to a big brimmed sailor with
a modish roll. 1t must be admitted,
though, that it is prettiest in the me-
dunn sizes. Perhaps because we are ac-
customed to seeing feathers of the
same Sort on small, duck-built birds
This is undoubtedly why the feather
turban seems more clever than the
large hat made solidly of feathers.
One feather sailor is lovely, however.
1t is of richly deep blue plumage, with
a roll around the crown of some plum
age in a brownish castor. This is as
rich as il is smart and it would require
no more than a knot of velvet to make
it ready for wear. Even this might be
dispensed with were it's fair owner in
hurry
A charming feather turban-a tor
pedo as to shape-is in gray. 1t is
dainty and demure and viii be charm
ing for the fair one who has an idea of
dressing in gray. Or it would be eff
fective if trimmed with a contrasting
color in harmony with whatever dress
was TO be worn with it. A number Of
colors are good with gray. especially
black and white, or emerald green, or
the tritoma colors. A paradise in these
shades is stunning on fine gray.
One of the most graceful feather
hats is a good sized urban all in
olive This lovely color, which bids
fair to be a full f1edged revival, is of
a particularly lovely shade in this
case. In addition to being covered all
over with the olive-hued plumage
there is at the left a tendency to
longer feathers until, at ting very back
little cascade of coque feathers falls
over the hair. Tulle and velvet might
be draped around this hat to advan-
tage, and without doubt the tritonia
colors would be superb on it.
A clever new rolling brim sailor is
made entirely of dark blue feathers.
It is as simple as possible of construc-
ton, though it looks elaborate. To
put it plainly, it is trimmed with a
shaded plume made of plated rib
bon. The piaitings. which overlap,
are made OF plated taffeta and the
plume. which is composed of them.
starts at the left back, being caught
by a buckle of cut steel. At this point
the plated plume is of blue as dark
as the hat. With every row it grows
a shade lighter. until at the back
again it has grown almost white. In
this case it has shaded through the
cornfiower shades and is particularly
crisp and feaching.-Philadelphia
Record.

Johnny Learns.

Since little Johnny went to school
And studied under modern rule,
He's learned to hem and darn and knit.
And has a pretty sewing kit.
He's learned to paint a yellow rose
And how to ornament his clothes
How TO make pretty moonlight scenes
BY splashing ink on little screens.
And Johnny has little book
Which tells the dear child how to cook;
You might not think it. but it's true,
He's graduated in beef stew.
You ought to hear how Johnny sings
Those lovely, noisy, Wagner things
He sings all classic music grand
Those tuneless things none understand.
When Pa comes home from work a night
He teaches Johnny how to write
And how to cipher and to spell,
But what Pa SayS-I shall not tell.

G1oveless Hands.

Not without regret is the fashion of
going gloveless to be observed. The
thin end of this sartorial wedge was
inserted some time since at the the
alters and now the mode has been
pushed further and one finds women
who at one time would never have
~ventured out of doors ungloved now
appearing in public places both night
and day with bare hands. 1t has been
urged that gloves and rings do not
agree. Better, it is argued. to show
we'll kept manicured fingers spark
ling with gems than to encase them
in gloves, which must necessarily
make them appear much larger. since
it is an open secret that gloves at least
one size larger must be worn by wom-
en- who wear rings as compared with
those who do not. Again, it is plead
ed that in hot weather women suffer
much discomfort from gloves, whereas
man is freed from it. But all such
arguments are weak. The glove is
one of the daintiest adjuncts of a
woman's toilet. 1t possesses roman
tic associations. it is always charac-
teristic of its wearer, it has an I'M
doubted air of refinement about it,.
and. moreover, it is Clearly and by
gienic. To say that without it
woman does not look finished, that
she appears less dainty and less dig
nified is perhaps trifie exaggerated,
but at least it is a fact that inatten-
ton to such trif1es as gloves marks de-
terioration in a woman. Anything
that has this effect is to be sternly
discouraged. And for this reason the
fashion of discarding gloves whenever
possible is not one which can be
viewed with quanimity.-Ladies'

Enmnlh of .InIu

One hundred and twenty-eight years
bring many changes in the life of a ma
tion. The wt~ld is not the same to the
American citizen to-day as it was to the
people of the thirteen struggling colonies
on the Fourth Of July, 1916. The Bit
terness which was then felt toward Eng.
land has disappeared. That we fought
to obtain our freedom Is remembered as
historical fact and as a measure of the
value which we put on liberty; moreover,
the Englishmen of to-day deem the policy
of George III. toward us unjust, as our
ancestors deemed it at the time. At pres
ent England and the United States act as
friendly kinsfolk, each in a genial way
considering itself as better than the other.
Because of this change the Fourth Of
July has come to be a day on which lit
tie is said of the triumph of arms a CEN
tnry and quarter ago. We still recall
the heroes of that time, and keep in
grateful remembrance the Frenchmen,
Germans and Poles who assisted us; but
we look about us at the broad and wild
ening national domain; we think of the
national wealth, the national commerce,
the national educational system, and the
flag with forty-fve stars, instead of thir.
teen, flying over hundreds of thousands
Of school houses, and rejoice that we
have been able to make so much of our
opportunities. The infant republic has
become giant, commanding the respect
of the other nations of the world.
Although it is a long time since ma
tional independence was won, we cannot
afford to lose sight Of the meaning of the
Fourth of July with its immortal Declar-
alton. In these latter days fireworks
have taken the place of oratory on the
anniversary, and sometimes it seems as
If people thought that they must make
big noise to express their feelings. Pos
sibly their view is correct and the boom
ing Of cannon, the snap-snap of frecrack-
ers and the siss Of rockets are really q
great national "Hurrahw The thing
of consequence is that the day is not
forgotten and that the meaning of It Is
kept in mind.-Youth's Companion.

1t is hard for him to live that one day
and not aduterate his lemonade or

so engrossed by the prosperous crops
and the desire for gold that they for

remember 1t at all by the request of
the boys or hired man for a day off.
How much more pleasing is 1t to
have a picnic In some shady grove,
spread long table and all dine to-
gather? Most any community can find
material for a good program, being
sure to mix In plenty Of music, the
material for which can be found In
the nelghborhood and we can celebrate
the Fourth with as much enjoyment
as If we had imported speakers and
music. OF course we will want the
Declaration of Independence read by
the best reader in the locality. The
minister can be orator of the day. Go
in together and buy fireworks and
crackers, for they will be essential to
the small boys and we can have a
first class celebration in the country.

Holidays Observance.
Once each year the question comes
to all of us how we are to spend the
Fourth Of July. The farmer and fam
lily are unlike the business man who
can lock the door of his office or store
and HE away on some excursion to the
mountains or some other place, In
stead, a holiday brings more work.
The hired man must be excused from
one or two milkings, or there is a
declaration OF war. To the wife comes
the question Of caring for the poultry
for chickens must eat and drink July
the same as other days.
There are too many who feel that
they cannot get away. These include
the men who become so absorbed in
the pursuit of wealth that they often
forget the object Of their pursuit and
become mere machines, grinding away
at the duties of life, so absorbed in
the work of the day that they forget
the blessings and privileges we claim
as peculiar to our nation. Not alone
upon the farm is this to be seen, but
instead of making our nations birth.

In the morning the average business
man is too busy to think of patriotism

upon this day as the opportunity to
