FRINGED AND JETTED HATS
Attractive Features of the New Mil
linery That Is Just Com
ing In.

The new jetted hats show evidence
little spangles, but with long hanging
drops which dangle and flash very pref
tily. These are sewed into lace or
into some soft substance, or the hat
is covered with silk which is covered
with the little dangling drops, reports
the Brooklyn Eagle.
A great many of the hats will have
dangling ends. Hats that are bor-
dered with fringe will not be uncom-
mon. To border a hat with fringe is
simple matter. Apply the fringe
to the brim of the hat so that it.
is all there is to 1t. But it should
be a very handsome fringe, very lus-
trous, and it should not be too deep.
The soft chenille fringes and those
that are deliberately jetted are much
used.
A great many hats will have the
lace borders, coming down so as to
make a scarf which falls over the
brim. Last season not few of the
hats had border of fine insertion,
which was applied precisely as though
it were lace. This is good upon a hat
of midsummer
The absolutely fiat hat is out, but
the very tall hat has come in. On
the other hand, the low hat, without a
bandeau, without crown, and without
top trimming of any kind, has been
banished from sight and there is no
sign that it will come back this season.

Eat an Apple at Night.

Everybody ought to know" says the
Family Doctor, that the very best thing
they can do is to eat apples just before
retiring for the night. The apple is an
excellent brain food, because it has more
phosphoric acid in easily digested shape
than any other fruit. 1t excites the &C
ton of the liver, promotes sound and
healthful sleep, thoroughly disinfects
the mouth and prevents Indigestion and

LOW WEIGHT IMPERATIVE

interesting experiments, which seem
certain to meet with success, are being
conducted under the direction of the
Treasury Department for the purpose
of equiping the life-saving boats of the
Government with engines that will be
an approach to the automobile type
The experiments have been in prog

crossed SO far that another week will
probably see a type of engine evolved
that is perfectly adapted to the pur-
pose. The experiments are under the
charge Of Captain Collins. engineer-in-
chief Of the Revenue Cutter Service.

The purpose is to find a type OF en-
CINE that Will be disable in the lifeboat

easy one. inasmuch as the engine.
