ity. The middle part Of the column is not
trimmed with the flowers, but Is simply
wound with the vines. A little below the
top Of each column another bunch of flow
ers Is tied on. The ends may be held in a
tiny glass vase or they may be wrapped
In moist cotton and then tied to the column.
These flowers rise above the head of the
column in irregular beauty. The effect is
much more charming il with the flowers
are mingled a few graceful branches of
some delicate Towering shrub or rather
stin vine. At the top Of the column as we'll
as at the bottom there should not be too
many flowers. Everything depends on
keeping the arrangement light and airy.
The punches Of flowers at the top of the
column are fastened on with bows Of
rather narrow ribbon. The ribbon is then
carried to the next column and bow tied
there. All the columns are connected in
this manner. Beneath the ribbon festoon
there may be one of smilax or whatever
vine is employed in the decoration of the
column.
The two central columns are the tallest
and the others are graduated in size, the
smallest being nearest the ends of the
table. The columns are not arranged in
straight line. but in long serpentine.
The height Of the columns is nine or ten
inches at the end and twenty-four inches
at the center.

Hat Rests.

Hat rests shaped like small lamp shades
are such an aid in preserving the shape of
headgear and otherwise protecting 1t, es-
pecially when travelling. that 1t Is strange
the idea Of using them In the home has not
been taken up by more women.
Now 1t Is possible to buy these frames
all ready for use or just the wire work un-
covered The former is of cardboard over
which chintz, cretonne or kindred fabric
Is put; in some case a large loop is found
sewed to the lower edge. In the case of
the hat being hung on a rack or In the
closet. the loop is passed over the hook.
then the hat is put on the rest and a hat
pin Is passed through bonnet and rest,
making 1t impossible for the headgear to
fall of or to be crushed In any way. When
this rest Is used in a box 1t is laid on the
bottom and the hat is placed upon it, which,
of course, keeps 1t entirely away from the
box. The protection thus given is a per-
feet boon, for the under brims of the hats
nowadays are often more fully trimmed
than the outside. and so must be kept from
being crushed.

is more graceful in flowers whose stems
are not too stiff. Some roses whose stems
are bending are very attractive for this
decoration. Peoples. sweet peas and cos
mos are also most attractive for the pur-
pose. 1t is also attractive when carried
out in carnations.
The design is an arrangement of floral
pillars. The pillars are quite tall and
the flowers branch out from the base and
again toward the top. There may be any
number Of pillars desired. according to
the length of the table. The beauty of
the decoration depends on keeping the
pillars slender and delicate and the method
Of fastening on the blossoms concealed
from view.
The foot Of each pillar, which Is some
what weighted to keep it from topping. is
concealed by ferns and trailing vines which
meander gracefully over the table. The
uprights which rise from this base are of
some slender shrub strong enough to stand
erect when their delicate burden of flowers
and vine has been fastened to them. Each
pillar is first gracefully festooned with vine
or foliage. In the base of the column are
then fastened about six or eight flowers
of the size of peoples or daffodils. If the
flowers are as small as sweet peas more
of varying lengths. so that when they are
fastened in the holder they will branch
out from the column in graceful Irregular

brown hats and leghorns trimmed with

than the black and can be worn with just
as many different costumes. brown or
black silk facing Is seen in a number of
the larger hats this year. and the brown
particularly Is exceedingly smart. Even
in all-white bats this effect is seen, and
the brown will often make a white hat
that was too coiorless against the face
before intensely becoming. There are
also white and light-colored straws faced
with light blue or pink taffeta, and these
are also most becoming.
Among the French hats there are some

bid fair to outclass the chiffon wells for a
number of purposes. For automobiling of
course. chiffon is Indispensable, for the
net cannot keep out the dust in the same
way, but for all ordinary purposes, as
driving or in train, the net is so much
lighter and cooler as to be far preferable.
The popular wells of today are either large
square or wide oblong pieces Of chiffon or
net that are put completely over the hat
and the ends then brought around and tied
under the chin in front. The smart chiffon
wells are bordered all around with effective

How Women Inspire Men.

The sons of men rule the world, but the
daughters of men govern 1t through them.
1t is woman who POUNDS society in its arti-
fetal aspects. 1t is woman who creates
class distinctions and insists on maintain
ing them. 1t is woman who imbues man
with desire to emulate, who instills into
him social ambition that inevitably brings
in its train the restless fever Of acquisition.
the madness of greed, the ambition for
power through financial success.
1t is woman who is at once the social
bulwark, the autocrat and the snob. 1t Is
woman who cares for the pretty observ
ances and formalties of social life, and
men. whose vanity and weaknesses become
womens strength, pose as lords OF crea-
ton, while they follow her in blind ODE
dience to instinct and vanity, mutely &C.
knowledging her power to lead and their
own inability to refuse to follow.

green baskets. Sweet peas and corn flow
ers are also attractively used In this fash
ion. 1t is also attractive to vary the
decoration by using Towering vine. such
as clematis. instead of a leaf vine
somewhat similar arrangement may
be used with Towering branches, such as
the various blossoms. dogwood. &C. The
baskets are not used for the branches.
The ends of the branches are wound with
wet cotton and held In place by the wire
holders. which may be bought at any
flower or department store. Rather tall
branches and a rather full bunch are
taken for the center Of the table. There
are also two punches not quite so tall or
so full. and two shorter punches. The
tallest group of branches is for the center.
Vines are wound around the wire holder
to conceal 1t from view, and from this
centerpiece vines are stretched across the
table like the spokes of a wheel. Next to
the centerpiece. some way down the table,
are placed the medium high punches, and
beyond this. near the buds, the short
punches. This design also is without ribbon
decoration. The idea is to make the
branches look as if they sprang directly
from the table. and the wire holders should
be as small as possible.

somewhat more elaborate decoration,
suitable for a bridal occasion, may be
made of any slender-stemmed flowers. 1t

present is a trife wider in the back and on
the left side and is worn tilted up slightly
on the left The large cachepeigne Of tulle
or ribbon has disappeared. and frequently
one sees this style of hat fitting down
close to the hair. the brim not filed in at
all. An exceedingly smart model on this
order was of white erin faced with black
taneta, the silk also making a narrow
binding on the straw. The crown, which
was OF medium height and size, was en-
circled by sort of wreath formed of soft
white and black pigeon breasts. while on
the left side was massed a large cluster Of
stiff white wings which came out just a
little beyond the edge Of the brim The
hat was about even width all around and

Dress hats this year are of all kinds
and varieties. AS is always the case

hats for garden parties and smaller hats
almost like turbans, composed entirely of
white, pink, blue, mauve or gray ostrich
tips. finished off with a large stiff bow Of
gauze bordered with straw the shade Of the

with flowers. feathers and lace, as though
the embroidery were not In itself sufficiently

are leghorns with wide. Tapping. graceful
brims, relieved by wreaths Of flowers In

however, the lingerie hat, made up Of

good quality. and is perhaps more effective

TT ABLE decorations for summer lunch
cons, wedding breakfasts. &C., are
most attractive when they are most
simple. The principal point is to create
an impression Of fresh outdoor blossoms
and also to produce a decorative effect
without lapsing into the elaborate ar
rangements suitable for the more import
ant social affairs of the winter OF course,
supreme simplicity may be obtained by the
UNMARRIED employment of bowls or baskets
OF flowers for the centerpiece, or of short
stemmed roses scattered over the table.
But although simplicity Is desired, variety
Is equally admirable. and no matter how
attractive a table decoration may be It be-
comes monotonous in time. so that the
really enthusiastic hostess feels the need
of new styles II she Is to produce a satis-
factory setting for her hospitality.
