quently that it is spoken of among
commission men as the fishy belt.
The immediate cause is generally
ascribed to the presence of tri-
methylamin in the butter" continued
the experts, so the sleuths got on the
track of this and found it mot guilty"
Next they tackled oidum nactis, and
this, too, proved an alibi Then they
inoculated the butter with the third
suspect, bacterium lactis aerogenes,
and it, too, was proved innocent. The
bulletin finally concludes that the
cause is as about as follows, to-wit:
'F'ishy flavor is caused by a slow,
spontaneous chemical change, to
which acid is essential, and which is
favored by the presence of small
amounts of oxygen. It's immediate
cause is a particular substance pro-
duced by the oxidation of one of the
combinations of the acid developed in
the ripening of the cream The sub.
stance oxidized may be the result of
a hydrolysis of the cream"
And here is the climax:
The remedy: Fishy flavor may be
prevented with certainty by making
butter from pasteurized sweet cream.

TINY FLOWERS AND FEATHERS.
LiIIiputian Roses, Very Closely Packed,
Used to Trim Some of the
Smartest Hats.

Tiny feathers are quite the rage at
present, and leaves as small are used
with the lilliputian roses, the life-sized
forget-me-nots, and the modest little
violets that are seen on some. of the
smartest hats.
A very pretty hat has crown made
of pink net draped in folds with a
puffed effect at the top and brim
OF pure white straw Nesting half in
the pink net and half falling out of 1t
upon the white brim Is garland COM
posed of tiny sprays OF white lilac
and the smallest imaginable pink
roses. while at the back of the hat Is
a large wide bow Of pale pink satin.
Such flowers as meadow sweet and

HAT STRINGS BACK IN FAVOR.
Pretty Fashion Seems Likely to Force
Its Way to Popularity II Once
Enjoyed.

The hat string has designs upon
femininity; 1t is making a strong bid
fer favor, and would force its way in
to popularity.
This pretty fashion seems not to
belong to the city streets, where peo-
pie congregate and popular fashions
thrive. Ribbon ties are a more ex-
elusive bit Of elegance, and belong,
more properly speaking, at the garden
party, and always to the pretty face.
But great things are predicted for
hat strings, and who shall say what
may result? These strings are used
most frequently on hats Of the scoop
model"--not the old. old bonnet scoop
at all, but bent-down brim, not very
large, that we have been calling a
turban because 1t Is one OF the tur-
ban sizes. Some strings are tied loose
~ in front or at the side. Others are
single streamers fastened to the back
If the hat, brought round to the side,
where they fall gracefully over the
shoulder. Ribbons Of velvet or satin
messaline are used most generally.

IDEA FOR THE BUTTONHOLES.
Bands Affixed to the Clothing of Small
Children Will Save Work and

There are few things more madden.

buttonholes tear out on the clothing
of small children. To prevent this cut
bands for skirts and underclothing

inch and work the buttonholes through
the four thicknesses.
For buttonholes that show Il Is a
good plan to face with a double strip
of material. II may look little
clumsier at first but is less unsightly
than darned or torn buttonholes. In
the same way buttons should be sewed
on with small extra square OF material
underneath.
In working, stay the buttonhole by
overcasting closely, also by long bars
of the thread on the outside. Be care
full to work the corners closely as II
is here where the strain comes, yet
they are often merely drawn together
with a stitch or two.
When the buttonholes OF sweater or

piece of tape or ribbon on the under

and overcast loosely to prevent raw
cling. IL the buttonhole seems to have

Uplift Plan Among Girl Workers Fails

at the contemplation of such a won
drous opportunity to be improved,
and struck speechless at the thought
of having such great ladies take an
interest in them, decided that it would
be necessary to give the bureau girls
some especial opportunities to get
used to the overpowering thought So
it was proposed that some of the
young women should be invited to visit
some of their benefactresses in the
homes of the latter and learn how 1t
was all done, observe the method of
eating ice cream with a fork and
taking soup out of the side of the
spoon, and such like correct little
wrinkles.
Somehow this didn't much appeal to
the girls, either; they rather opined
enough, and didn't feel the need of be.
ing further impressed with the splen-
dor of being patronized by ladies who
used gold dinner services.
But the federation committee worked
away earnestly, and finally the explo-
sion came. The committee found so
of the women in the bureau would
have to be dropped out of the service
before the moral average would be
raised to the point where contact with
the federated benefactresses could be
established at all.
That settled it. Every woman and
girl in the bureau resolved herself
into an indignation meeting. 1t was
what all had been expecting, they de-
clared. Those society women who
wanted to convert working women
into butterflies, of course, couldn't I'M
derstand Why should they be ex-
pected to?. They had meant well
enough, but really they could hardly
be commended for tact and diplomacy.
