er, with no brilliant contrasts.
Some of the big hats measure near.
ly 25 inches from side to side, and
many Of them are trimmed with what
the shopkeepers called simple

one huge bird of paradise with its
long beak towards the front OF the

These birds are perhaps the most
expensive form of trimming, owing to
their scarcity, but the shops are
showing many soft, fluffy feathers
made of marabout and cock plumes
which answer the purpose and do not
cost one-tenth as much as a bird OF
paradise.
Let the home-sewer remember. that
these big bell-shaped hats require
much trimming. Some of them are
very pretty with just large bow OF

THE WISE SQUIRREL.

If you wished to strip a pine conc you
would probably begin at the top-and
have lots of trouble. The squirrel
knows better than that. He does not
prick his fingers or pinch his whiskers
or gnaw into the solid cone any more
than is necessary. He knows better
than to cut off the top and work his
way downward, or to nav into the
spiny shields. He whirls the cone bot
tom upward in a twinkling and then
cuts through the thin and tender bases
of the scales. soon laying bare the two
seeds, which he at once cats. He strips
It so easily and quickly that you can
not tell how he does it unless you drive
him off and inspect his unfinished
work.
