through the autumn. To render these
hats little less summary looking,
however, while they still preserve
their picturesque effects, they are
draped with silk or colored chiffon in
stead of net and null. and they may be
trimmed with ribbon, silk choux, or
plumes instead of the floral garniture
which has been so fashionable during
the summer.
The illustration shows a hat OF this
description made of dull finished chif-
fon taffeta in brown. The hat is pre-
cisely the same shape which has been
so popular during the summer. The
crown is covered with the silk, while
the draperies of the same, as is also
the large and dashing trimming at the
side. plating Of the silk is used
around the edge of the hat and be-
meath this there is ruflle of coffee
colored lace. The hat is faced with
shirred mousseline de sole In brown OF
the shade of the silk. A touch OF color
might well be added to this hat II it
were meant to be worn with a gown
all of enc shade the same color in
brown. But II the gown is to be OF
contrasting shades of color then 1t will
not be necessary to have any bright
touches in the hat
With n brown gown, for instance,
which has a light waistcoat and coral
color trimmings the all brown hat
would be more effective than one
with touch of coral in its trimmings.
II the hat is to be worn with tan
gown trimmed with brown the all
brown would also be more effective.
For general wear, with variety OF
different costumes, there Is nothing
more useful than a hat all in brown
either OF different shades or in mono.
tone. But If the hat is to be worn
with a rather dull brown costume, 1t
Is best to give II touch OF brightness.
unless brown Is singularly becoming
to the wearer.

BEST CARE OF Wells.
Can Be cIeansed Easily Even When
Badly Soled.

II your veil is very much soiled 1t
will not be a difficult matter to bring
it back to it's original newness. Make
a strong lather of white soap, and
simmer the veil in it for about quar-
ter Of an hour.
Rinse it in cold water carefully with
a little liquid bluing. You can also
add perfume to this water. Pass the
veil through a thin gum arabic water,
or water in which rice has been boiled,
and clear it by shaking. Pin evenly
on a linen cloth. When dry lay be-
tween a piece of thin muslin and
iron on wrong side.
To wash your black veil, pass it
through hot water in which a small
quantity of OK gall has been mixed, to-
gether with some perfume. Squeeze,
but do not rub it. Rinse in cold water,
putting bluing in the last rinse.
Stiffen by dipping in a very thin
glue water, made by pouring water on
glue. Squeeze and shake out, and dry
and iron on the wrong side, the same
as the white veil.

GIFT FOR A BRIDE.
This Dainty Piece of Underwear Will
Be Very Acceptable.

II friend is to be married, and one
il sure that silver and gold will be
showered upon them, why not give her
a dainty piece of underwear that she
can't duplicate in the shops?
One of the new evening petticoats
made of net would be a most accept
able choice. If the bride-to-be goes
into society even the least bit, she
will want one thin, dainty petusoat
TO wear under her soft evening fTock.
Silk ones have always been plenti-
full at small and high prices; muslin
ones with hand embroidery and lace
are considered more elegant than six,
even for ball gowns, but they are be-
yond the purse of the average gi:l
The fashionable thing is this net
underskirt, which is to aid the cling
ing serpentine effect of all the new
skirts.
To make one, get the coarse net
that carries starch and has body. Cut
it by seven-gored pattern, fitting the
hips, and trim 1t with three deep Span

KITCHEN DONT'S.

Don't rinse laces in blued water
under a mistaken notion that 1t will
improve the color 1t won't Rinse
in skinned milk, which will give a
soft, creamy tint.
Don't fill an oil or any other kind Of
stove or lamp when it is lighted. This
seems superfluous advice, but with
the coming of hot weather cannot be
too often repeated
Don't leave a gas stove with any
thing which may boil over-milk or
sowp-and extinguish the flame. Be-
sides the loss of gas, there is danger
of on explosion. Don't turn off the
gas at the main, unless the taps are
all off as well.
Don't light the kitchen fire unless
there is water in the boiler. If not,
the rush of cold water is liable to
crack the boiler.

Pouched Bodices Return.

There are indications of the return
of the pouching bodice. In Paris a
number of the new bodice models
SHOW the front pouched, ever so slight
ly. to be sure, but still pOuched, and
at the Goodwood races a number of
corsages of that order were noted.
The slightly pouched front is be-
coming to most figures, tending to con
ceal both redundances and deficiencies,
and then, too there is more room and
ease across the chest. In short, the
pouched front is comfortable as well
as becoming, when the fullness is only
slight and is drawn toward the center

THE "LANeo4--" " ANIMALs.
Various Cries and Calls Not The Me.
dfum Of Communication.


Huxley thought that because Of tho
absence of language the brutes can
have no trains of thoughts, but only
trains of feeling and this is the opin-
lon OF most comparative psychologists.
am myself quite ready to admit that
the lower animals come as near to
reasoning as, they come to having a
language. Their various cries and
calls-the call to the mate, Of alarm,
OF pain. Of joy-do serve as the me-
dunn OF some sort Of communication,
but they do not stand for ideas or
mental concepts any more than the
various cries of child do. They are
the result Of simple reactions to out
ward objects or to inward wants, and
DO not imply any mental process what
ever. A grown person may utter q
cry OF pain or fear or pleasure with q
mind utterly blank Of any ideas. Once
on a moonlight night 1 lay in walt for
