for you. In the seasons medley of
shapes this is a very conventional
model, but 1t has signature inside
the crown that would satisfy any wo-
man of its chicness, even if she over
looked the lovely great white marsh
roses about the crown and the long
ends of bronze velvet ribbon that tie
under the chin. The average hats of
the spring are wildly eccentric, and
they grow worse and worse. There
Is more than one queer shape.
There's the funnel, the tlowerpot and
the large spreading tray from which
to select, but there is one trait COM
mon to them all--they play hide and
seek with their wearers' faces. Two
features these hats do bring into
prominence-the teeth and the nose.

between the devil and the deep sea,
and 1t would be better to select a
model more impartial in its demands.

in dull, spiky straw, with q face veil
of blue net caught irregularly around

way that the roses outlined the
crown, and there was no crushing or

when the veil is adjusted over the
flowers. Just try the effect of q SINH

it is.

Best Varieties of Potatoes

OF Ill varieties Of potatoes tested at
the ontario Agricultural college the
following varieties are among the best
when yield, size, freedom from rot and
quality are considered Late-Empire
State, Dempsey Seeding, Rural New
Yorker No. 2. Medium-Rose of the
North, Burpee's Extra Early. EARLY
Early Fortune, Early Harvest, Extra
Early Eureka and Early Dawn. The
results Of planting potato sets Of diff
ferent sizes at different distances were
in favor of two ounce sets planted
the closest together. Planting one set
per hill has given the best average re-
suits for eight years.

A WEDGW00D ROcFa.
This Shade Will Be Pretty In Spring
Redecoration.


There is just a certain wedgwood
blue that is exquisite with putty
colored wall. 1t is not we'll to use
this combination in north light,
which needs the warmer colonial yell
low, but it may be held in reserve for
the room having southern or west
ern exposure, with its softer light.
The putty color is colder and less
yellow than the colonial shades-as If
a touch Of gray had been dashed in
but there is still enough of the creamy
tone left to blend with the wedgwood
blue of the hangings.
These curtain goods may be found
in such inexpensive materials as
galatea, cotton poplin and Japanese
Grape, all of which are more recent
arrivals on the decorators counter
than denim and burlap.
Several pieces Of old mahogany, a
peacock screen and bowl Of polish
ed brass are the needed touches in
this chaste little room.

One housekeeper who has mahogany
bedroom furniture and a careless fam
lily has hit upon a way to protect the
top of her bureaus. She buys a rem
nant of white oilcloth and has 1t cut
to At the top of the bureau. This is
put on beneath the ordinary bureau

Naturally. a cover that is not trans

but prevents more serious soaring
from hot curling irons or dropped
matches.

pathological viewpoint Cupid Is uncer-

How Hardy Got His "Insiqht."

The elaborate realism of Thomas
Hardy is one of the points of the
novelist's genius which cause much
astonishment among his admirers. On
one occasion a friend was expressing
his wonder to him at the manner In
which he was able to enter into the
intinacies of country girls life.
How on earth do you do it?" said
the friend. You might almost be Il
country girl yourself"
when l was young man." ex-
planned Mr.. Hardy, II used to write
love letters for the village girls to their
sweethearts In India. That naturally
gave me an insight into their char
acteristics."

gress is Senator Joseph Little Hristow
Of Kansas, who succeeds Chester l.

the primaries last fall was the seiisa

the age of eighteen, he LEFT Kentucky

political prominence, and he aban.
doned the ministry for politics. Next
he bought a daily at Ottawa, became

Thrift.

A thriftless little writer man
Made not the least endeavor
To write on a concerted plan
or any kind whatever.
He used to scribble on the spot
When he felt inspiration,
But pelf this system brought him not,
So he tried concentration.
Henceforth each morning he got up
To start his work at seven
And wrote, with stops to lunch and
sup,
Till midnight or eleven.
Delightedly he plumed himself
Upon his concentration,
Which brought him what he wanted
pelf-
And lost him inspiration.

An Odd last.

One clever housekeeper has learned
to outwit a milkman whom she sus-
pected Of diluting his stock of milk.
She kept in her kitchen fine steel
knitting needle, which was always in
a high degree Of polish.
AS soon as the milk came into the
house she stuck the needle lightly into
the can and drew 1t out in IN upright
position. If no drop adhered to the
needle that milkman heard a line of
talk on watered milk that caused him
to be careful how he dallied with the
pump ON his next visit.
1t is said II there be even little wa
ter in milk not a drop Of 1t will adhere
to a needle so used.
