Speaking of hats, the so-ca1led lingerie
style will prevail this summer as last.
Lace and embroidery and point d'esprit
and plain and Powered organizes and
chiffons will be used. The latter will
be combined with lace ruffles and eye
let embroidery crowns in costume hats
that is, hats to wear with the lowered
frocks which, this summer. as last will
be prominent in every wOman's ward
robe.
These lowered stuffs. the organizes,
lawns, dimities and chiffOns are even
prettier this season than last The new
patterns are so quaint and picturesque.
Two exhibited in a fashionable Kansas
avenue shop window which had its
spring opening last week have been
much admired. They are organdie
white background. and one has old
timey looking clusters of small pink
roses, the other, full bloom pink cab
bage roses, scattered over their sur
faces. The same shop has some of the
daintiest dimities with Empire wreaths
of small blossoms in delicate colors.
At another shop something new in
Powered effects is shown in habutai
silks. They come in the prettiest pat
terms imaginable, one of the best liked
being in pale pink rosebuds. They make
charming blouses for semi-dress occa-
sions and lovely dancing frocks.
Il am making all my lingerie blouses
with short sleeves said the girl who
makes her own clothes and always looks
wondrous we'll. Il don't think anything
else will be worn before the summer is
half over. The jackets, too, have the
sleeves ending just below the elbow. OF
course this calls for long gloves. Some
tines though, the blouse has long
sleeves, the cuffs much be-ruffied ana
be-trimmed and these peep out allur-
ingly below the short jacket sleeves"
The new dancing frocks are to be very
simple and all the skirts short, says one
authority. They viii show a return to
the little round bodice, a baby waist, one
might say, and a little round skirt TO
ing more, but the shoulders get broad
er and broader and the waist smaller
and rounder. These hints enable us to
form a picture of the ballroom scenes
that are to cOne-and no doubt If all
the old-fashions return we will desig-
nate them as balls" or again, 'routs''
instead of by the simpler, less preten-
tious and less dignified term dance
just as we are beginning to say bee"
instead of "thimble party and to find
it very chic and ultra smart-the tight
little waists, the broad shoulders, the
spreading skirts and the picturesque
hats which will be worn Herewith.
Chicago Record-Herald: Fat nus
bands are the easiest to tame Fat
men make the most docile husbands
in the world. These opinions voice
the sentiments of married women the
world around. 1t is seldom that a fat
man makes a poor husband. Why Isl
it?
In the first place, a fat husband
seldom troubles himself about the
management of the household He
trusts everything to his wife. He pays
her bills ungrudgingly- He doesn't
worry over the children He doesn't
mind noise or confusion
On the other hand. the lean hus-
bands nature is to worry over trif1ing
details. He is ant to insist on run

Generally he lays down the law. His
wife is his servant. He is exacting,
critical. sometimes fault finding
oftentimes domineering.
Yet. when all is said and done. it is
not the lean mans fault that the fat
man excels as a husband The fat
man seems to have been especially de-
signed for. an easy going domestic
