FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS

The new hat uplifted coquettishly at
The one side and bent low at the other
needs not only to be shaped especially to
the face which is to wear 1t, but 1t re-
qulres the most careful adjusting on the
mead each time it is worn. At the wrong
angle it has fyaway if not actually
dissolute air which few women care to
assume. A hat of the kind was also COW
cred with black and white checked tat
feta stretched tight over the shape and
was trimmed with a ROSTERS head, the
bright red comb of which, it must be
confessed, was effective If spectacular.
One of the recent fancies of the milll-
ner is the brilliant bunch of cardinal red
feathers which are placed at the up
turned side. Look out for fiery tones
from the milliner at this season.

Some housekeepers prefer to roast

She says that she roasts about three

coffee over carefully and washing the
berries she dries them by shaking them
we'll in a cloth bag and then spreading
! them on a tray. Then she puts the beans
| in a large iron skillet on top of the stove,
stirring constantly. AS soon as the beans
are hot she adds a piece of butter the

should be stirred constantly and watched
most carefully lest they burn; the burn

| When the berries are a rich brown is the

easily under the thumb they are ready

boxes.
A housewife who never misses an OPP

| two in her sugar jar. 1t imparts flavor
that is delightful.
| New gloves which are being treasured
against the time of being worn should be
wrapped in paraftin paper. Then they
will not change color.
The matter of hair ribbons is an item
worth considering today, when there is

The attractive ribbons may be kept in
the best possible condition if, on being
taken off. they are carefully rolled over
a stick kept specially for the purpose.
Rolling is better than folding them, and
if rolled tightly the wrinkles from the
tying will not be so evident
The vogue for rough fabrics is extend
ing to the field of cotton materials. The
shopkeepers expect that this winter cot
ton will be used for many a morning or
house gown. There has never been so
large a display of attractive weaves and
colors in heavy cotton goods. In fact,
in many instances, it is quite difficult to
detect the cotton from the wooden or
silk fabrics.
If one wishes to pack cake to send
or carry any distance first wrap it in
oiled paper and tie the paper securely
with tape, not string. Put it in a stout
pasteboard box, large enough to allow
for plenty of crushed tissue paper on all
