liant hues will be most favored is
certain. Bright-colored headgear
when worn with a harmonizing cos
tune is vastly becoming, and the idea
has an economical interest, since one
hat may be made to do duty with sew
eral costumes. A pinkish mauve,
which in the darker tones is closely
allied to the Burgundy shades, is a
modish spring color. The new pinks
and reds are on the rose and rasp-
berry shades. There are shown tailor
models In straw that will freshen up
the m~id-season's costume or provide
the touch of completion to the new
street suit. Both rough and fine,
satiny straw braids are used to make
these early-season hats, and all the
fashionable colors are procurable.
The mixed straws are especially
or contrasting colors being blended.
Those combining dark blue, green,
yellow and red in a plaid weave are
liked for youthful wearers. The hats
are fashioned in a variety of shapes,
and In almost every instance the
only attempt at trimming is a shaded
quill with straw bow or loops. For
the dressy hat that is to take the
place of the velvet creation of the
winter, tulle or lace is used.-From

Advantages and Disadvantages of Farm
Life.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I have been
for some time a silent reader of "Our
Social Chat" and wondered if you
would let boys come in and chat a
little. / have now seen the invita-
ton; so here I am. But I see so
many letters so much better than
this that I am at my wits end to
know what to write about. I like
the article in last weeks issue by
"South Carolina Boy" also the one
by "Forest Gray" and all of the
others.
[ am at present engaged in farm
ing, but don't know what / shall do
another year. But what life is better
than farm life? And what is more
beautiful than, at the close of day,
to walk home amid the waving corn
and cotton, looking on well cultivat-
ed fields with satisfaction and happy
in the thought that you will make
plenty of bread and meat for your
next years consumption? But that
is only one side of the question. What
can be more disheartening than to
be in moderate circumstances and
all you can do seems to avail you
nothing? But I imagine I can hear
Aunt Jennie say: Enough of this"
Next time I may have more to say.

Random Notes from Patience

Dear Aunt Jennie:-Mother is
away and / am so lonely that I have
decided to chat with you all for a
few minutes, if you have no objec-
tons. I have thought many times
during the past year / would write
to the Chat, but just as often some
thing would prevent, and / would put
it off till ga more convenient sea-

thing to say later. 1 think our pa

ments a great deal; / consider it Sec

There are people who always for
get the good we do them by keeping
just ahead of it some little wrong
we have done them. Strange, isn't
it? Just one little wrong will kill
and bury hundreds of good deeds
which never arise until we are dead
and buried with them. Then little
words of praise are given from many
who had never thought to give one
word while we could hear and enjoy
it. Next comes a long letter in the
nearest paper giving an account of
our lives as being noble, honest, up
right, religious, and all other good
that can be thought of. Who cares
or enjoys all the praise half like we
could ourselves? No one, of course.
After we labor hard for years try
ing u very utmost to do our duties
and to Tighten the burdens of those
around us, and make life easier for
them, why should we be deprived of
just a word of praise in return ?
Why? Because we have failed in a
few simple things to do what is ex-
pected of us. And these little fail
ures blinds all the good we can do
in a whole lifetime, and causes them
never to be remembered any more
while we live. We do not care for
praise after we are dead; we cannot
enjoy it then. So if any n has a
kind word for us, why not give it
now; and when our bodies are laid
to rest, let our name rest, too.
"Misery loves company" is a true
saying. 1t makes no difference how
miserable a person is, if he tries to
make others miserable, it only adds
to his own. Happiness and content
ment to ourselves means, happiness
and contentment to those around us,
and so much easier and comforting
and enjoyable our lives would be if
spent that way. NELLIE.
