People Who Live Longest.

Certain physical characteristics are

spine is "a straight line, his noad erect,

that the vital organs are properly sup

nature and that they 90 not rest upon

Fashions In Millinery.

Fashion IN hats has taken q new
turn, as far as materials are concerned.
or, perhaps, TO be more accurate, one
should say that the millinery world has
been invaded by new applicants for
smart favof. for the embroidered laces
figuring so prominently IN the construc-

charE 'b.g example is a hat OF heavy

worked out with silver threads. The

cCnccaled the end Of willOwy ostrich

The demand for embroidered laccs in
millinery really grows out. or the vogue
for en- broidered lingerie hats, which.
though admirable for tub gowns. are
not adequate for the requirements Of
more elaborate dresses Of silk and silky
materials. The correct finish for the
border OF the hat IS a ruching or lace
or chiffon. but If heavy embroidered
linen is used the edge IS DuJtOn-hole1
