If a woman has sharp or decidedly
prominent features let her avoid hats
that are set back or off the face. Such
woman should wear a hat brought
well forward, her hair should be as
fluffy as possible, and becoming veil
will do wonders. Sharp outlines in
hats should also be avoided by her.
Lace edges and indented brims are
good.
If the features are irregular a hat
with the brim crushed here and there
is usually a suitable setting. The wom-
an with a prominent nose has much to
contend with. Her hats should avoid
severeness in outline and should be set
we'll forward, so that the prominent
feature will appear little less in size.
On the other hand, the woman with a
small or fiat nose should not wear a
hat that projects sufficiently to make
her nose appear even more inslgnifi-
cant, nor large hat that dwarfs it.
A hat under medium in size and with
small flowers or short tips should be
worn. With a small face and features
huge picture hats should never be
worn, even if the figure be tall and
slight enough to carry them.

The color craze, which at first
amounted TO the merest fad, has, like
many such fads, come to stay and has
developed into undreamed-of proper
tions. Color is said TO influence our
mental and bodily well-beinG, even our
morals, more than we imagine. and we
are advised to see to it that our rooms
and our clothing from babyhood on
ward are such as to influence us FOR
good. We know by instinct, as rule,
which colors have pleasant effect
upon us, whether blue makes us cheer
full or orange leads to hilarity. Grays
and browns haze, of course, a SOLDERING
effect, and some color faddist advises
us to have none of them. 1t Is posi-
BILE in these days of frequent fitting
from fiat to flat to induce an agreeable
landlord TO give us our hearts desire
in the shape Of wall papers, but how
about visiting those friends whose
color craze is the exact antlthesls of
our own? We might feel gloomy when
it was our bounden duty to exert our
selves to be agreeable, or too cheerful
in paying a visit of coincidence should
the wall paper suggest hilarlty. The
subject is a wide one, and the majority
of us would do well to strive for the
happy medium by making our rooms
pretty and soothing without being too
noticeable either way.

.June Favorite marriage Month,

Statistics show that June is the gen.
eral marriage month all over the world.
In Scotland for instance, out of every
1000 marriages, 175 of these take place
in June, and in Sweden the proportion
is 100. In most of the European coun-
tries women select June as the bridal
time, although there are few excep-
tions. Thus in Holland, May is the
favOrite mouth for marriages, and in
Italy, February, which includes the
period preceding the beginning of Lent.
In Germany. April seems to have be-
come quite popular month for marri-
ages. and in Greece October is quite
as popular as any other. January is
the favorite in Russia.
1t is in consequence of these old
world preferences, no doubt, that the
somewhat curious results are shown
here. June is the favorlte month for
marriages for all of those born in
America, whether of foreign parent
age or otherwise; but it is not for
those of foreign birth.
In New York City the number of
marriages in a year is about 10000,
and the distribution by months is so
even that the lead of June is very
small. Last year June led with 1925,
but there were 3T09 in December, a
fayorite month, and 1904 in November

couldn,t Pay. So stayed Away.

At school on the East Side a boy,
newly arrived from Germany, present
ed himself for admission. In the course
Of lesson the teacher told the children
they would have to pay attention if
they wished to stay in her class.
Jacob was an interested listener, but
after the first day he absented himself
from school. When caught by the tru-
ant officer he explained, through a
friend who acted as interpreter, that
the teacher had demanded pay, which
he was unable to give. He was
brought to the school and confronted
with the teacher. A glance into his
face was sufficient to assure her that
he was innocent of any intention of
making a false report. The teacher
inquired kindly:
'Tell me what I said, Jacob, to make
you think as you did,"
Teacher say, You must pay" re-
peated the boy, and then he was at the
end Of his vocabulary. The teacher in
the midst of her perplexity saw a little
hand raised at the back of the room,
and in the hope Of throwing some
light on Jacobs meaning gave the re-
quired permission to the owner of it to
speak.
Teacher" piped a shrlll voice, "you
said We should all pay attention" and
as a smile Of relief broke over the
countenance Of the teacher, the small
informant sank into her seat with a
conscious air Of having greatly distin-
guished herself-New York Press

Don't be afraid of a little fun at
home. Don't shut your house lest the
sun should fade your carpets, and your
hearts, lest a hearty laugh shake down
some of the musty old cobwebs there.
Therefore, let the fire burn brightly
at night and make the homestead de-
llghtful with all those little arts that
parents so perfectly understand. Don't
repress the buoyant spirits of your chill
dren; half an hours merriment around
the lamp and fireside of home blots out
the remembrance of many care and
annoyance during the day, and the best
safeguard they can take with them
into the world is the influence OF a
bright little domestic sanctum.-Chl-
cago Journal.

All the new tea gowns begin to show
full puffs at the shoulders, and this mas
a tendency to make the figure look
great deal broader. The full shoulder
puff is something welcomed back by
every woman, and it is very likely that
every gown will show trace of shoul-
der puff.
The shades in negllgees are inter-
esting. There are distinct negligee or
tea gown colors. And among these
can be mentioned onion skin, red cur
rant and apricot. These are very pref
ty tones and are much less delicate
than the pale tones. They are suited
to house wear, and they are cheerful

who makes many tea gowns, "to select
cheerful colors, for one must remem-
Der that the gown is to be worn in
doors by subdued light. The new tones
are pansy color and terra Gotta, which
is having renaissance. Then there
is mustard brown, and there is iron
gray, which is good combined with red.
The most important feature for tea
gown is its color. 1t must be well
chosen, or the gown is never successful.
after the color comes the material,
which should have lustre. And for
this one can recommend the Oriental
silks, if one is choosing a dressy tea
gown, or the silk poplins. And last Of
all comes the style and the fit"
The successful tea gown of domestic
make shows a variety of styles. But all
have large sleeves, with plenty of ma
terial in them. There is the robe,
which is loose in the front and fitted in
the back, and which is trimmed up the
front breadth with little rufiies of Val
enciennes lace. The back is sweeping
in its length and is trimmed with
sash or with deep fiounces.
There is a style of tea gown which
has the dressy look of handsome one
of the Elizabethian days and again OF
the 1910 days. There is the bodice with
its long train, while in the front there
is a petticoat beneath which her little
slippered feet peep out.
The gown and petticoat style is one
which appeals to women who enjoy pic
turesque dressing. And 1t is a style
which can be adapted to gowns for
either day or evening though it is more
appropriate TO day gowns. The'pettl-
coat is, of course, petticoat only in
name, for the material must be elegant
and the style exquisite, while the
finish, the trimming and the length are
all of the most admirable quality. 1t

Out In AL. Dougherty's barn in To-

haps the most pampered steer in the
country. 1t answers to the rather
fierce name Of San Antoine Pete, and 1t
really has very fieree-looklng horns,
but its coat is soft and glossy and it
wears bandages on its legs.
When the public sees this animal it
is hltched to pneumatic-tired suky

rate Of mile in 2.2S. For be it known
that San Antoine Pete is the only rae
ing steer in the country, and is said to
have out-trotted all the ambitious

The SILK Lingerie Dress.

Though silk Is to be much worn,
very much worn, yet for dainty dresses
for many occasions, 1t is to be replaced
by the lingerie dress. And the lingerie
dress is of batiste or some of the nu-
merous kindred fabrics. These dresses
have all the lovely look of simplicity,
and il is the sweet simplicity for which
whoever pays the bills has to go down
deep into the pocket. The mere name
of the dress, lingerie, calls up visions
of finest handwork, hand-run tucks no
thicker than a thread. and all the
creases, Fuckers and insertions dear
to the feminine heart.
One exquisite dress of white batiste
is insertioned elaborately with narrow
German Valenciennes lace, while a
rich figure of Irish crochet is intro
duced at intervals with stunning effect
This elaboration doesn't take it out Of
the lingerie class.
An exquisite affair is in Paris mus
lin. 1t is embroidered in the softly
heavy japanese fashion, and is simple
almost to plainness, despite the vast
amount of work on it.
A variation from the snowy white
ness of the lingerie is a creation in
sheerest white batlste, in which strips
of pastel pink batiste, very finely
tucked, are introduced. One such
strip heads the fiounce on the skirt
another forms the girdle, and yet 9th
ers finish the blouse. In all save the
belts this strip of pink is bordered by
two frills of valenclennes lace below
and a narrow festoon embroidery in
pastel tints above.-Rochester Post

Sir Henry Irving, whose projected
tour of this country has, according to a
London cable dispatch, been postponed
for year, recently declared, says the
London Standard, that he has been
taxed with preaching an impracticable
doctrine, viz, the organization of the
theatre by the municipality. Some
critics had insnuated that he wanted
20 hand over the whole control of local
affairs TO the members of the theatrical
profession, and especially TO make sure
that actors were elected as mayors. He
had never contemplated such serious
revolution. although he could mention
actors who, if elected to the office OF
Chief Magistrate, would turn out to be
grave ana methodlcal men of business.
But he was no extremist it nevcr oc-
CURED to him to propose anything more
alarming than the administration OF
the theatre as branch Of local govern
ment, just as they administer the water
supply and other needs OF a great and
growing city. But 1t was a dream.
He saw no prospect Of inducing people
to believe that the civic authorities
might charge themselves with the sup
ply Of rational entertainment as they
had charged themselves with the sup
ply Of wholesome water. although the
one necessity was nearly as great as
the other.
