''The panama hat will still be the most correct hat for summer wear" said Broadway natter. Only fine bananas will be worn. though. l am stocking nothing under SIP.
 ''The panama will always be correct because 1t is at once handsome and costly It is not durable hat It can be folded like handkerchief and then returned unharmed to its original shape It can't be passed through a finger ring It can't be used with im= punity as a drinking cup. pillow. a baseball. doormat.
 No good panama must be treated carefully. Rough handling will split ff the same as any other straw. And with the best of treatment 1t will only last few years.

Artificial Dyes.

A recent investigation as to the chemical industries of Germany shows how rapidly artificial coloring agents are taking the place of the natural dyes formerly used. The change is in- dicated by the decrease of imports of various ogwoods. Among these are bluewood. native to Mexico. Haiti, the British West Indies, the Dominican Re public and the United States, yellow wood. which grows in Austria Hun gary, Mexico and South America, and redwood. indigenous to British India. the west coast of Africa and Mexico.
 For ages the Arabs have used the redwood of India for sandals. During the last forty years the cultivation of madder has become nearly extinct in western Europe. Cochineal has been almost entirely driven from the mar ket Indigo alone holds it's place strongly, although the competition with artificial indigo is now very keen Harpers Weekly.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
To Clean and Pack Furs.

H,at some common four in the oven. then rub thoroughly into the fur. Shake vigorously and you will see the four come away very much discolored. Repeat the process until the fur is clean.
 In regard to packing furs, if this is done before the moth has any chance of laying eggs, then the skins will be safe. but Of this you must make quite sure. Shake and beat every part thor. oughly, then sew the articles in blue tissue paper. Next lay in several wrap. pings of newspapers making the par eel quite strong. for moths hate print CTS ink. Secure well. then lay in Il cardboard box and paste strips of paper around the edges of the box
 Your furs will now be perfectly safe if there are no eggs deposited. If there are, then no amount of eamphor, tar or any other preventive will preserve them from ravages.
