Style Of Hat Frame to Remain.
When you buy new hat for this
year you will be perfectly safe to buy
the cloche shape, the kind that comes
down on the head. giving the effect of
a high crown and no brim. You have
been familiar with this style for the
past few months, made up in fur, usu-
ally lynx or fox, but now the time has
come to wear the same shape made up
of flowers. OF these, faded roses and
violets seem to be the most popular
and the most effective, although bluets
or any other small flower would look
just as well.

NewcOmb Champions.

|
1t was really too bad the way that
the Seniors at Newcomb defeated the
Juniors in the game played for the
College Championship. The final re-
suit was u to rs, in the Seniors
favor.
Hardly the Seniors themselves, be-
fore the game, would have suggested
that they would win by such a large
score. AS it was the seniors came near
trebling the score Of the Juniors.
While the score seems to indicate
that the game was too uneven to be in
teresting, still the Juniors did some ex-
~cellent pass work, being abont equal to
Seniors in this part of the game. Not
team work and pass work alone score
points, for the ball must be put into
the basket, and this the Juniors were
unable to do; time and again they tried
for goals. only to fail.
The Seniors, on the other hand, were
making goals at all times, and the Jun
Tors never had a chance. After the
game Miss Edith Leopold, as Captain
of the Seniors, was presented by Miss
Baer with the championship cup tied
with the Senior %colors, green and black.
Miss Leopold was lifted on the shoulders
of the team and triumphantly carried
over the field. She made a short talk
to the team, telling them that it was
due to the way that they had worked
in practice that they were able to be
the champions.
For the Seniors Miss Phelps played
the star game, and made the most
points. She was also very strong IN
defensive work, and kept the Juniors
from making a good many goals. She
made a total of q points. For second
place three girls on the Senior team
made the same number Of points,
Misses Agnes, George and Westfeldt,
each IL point, and all played very
strong games. Miss Leopold made 6
points and Miss Pond 4. Miss Scott, at
center, also played splendidly.
The pass work of Misses Godchaux,
West and Schlenker, of the Juniors,
was excellent, although, neither of
these made many goals. Miss Schlen-
ker threw one goal. Miss Edith Pond
played a very good game, and made 6
points. Miss Sumrall also made 5
tallies. The rpmajning 6 points that
the Juniors made were by Miss Bouslog,
The following were the positions Of
the two teams;
Seniors: -Myra Pond, forward goal;
Miss Helda Phelps, right forward
guard; Miss Natalie Scott, center; Miss
Agnes George, right back guard; Miss
Edith Leopold, Captain left back
guard; Miss Louise Westfeldt, back
goal.
Juniors-M Miss Bouslog, forward goal;
Miss West, right foreward guard; Miss
Hortense %Schlenker, left forward
guard; Miss Justine Godchaux, Gap

back guard; Miss Ruth Sumrall. left

Final score: Seniors u, Juniors 26.

The Queen OF Sewing

MYRA'S father was very anxious
H that his little daughter should
A'A learn to sew. Accordingly, when
her tenth birthday arrived he gave her
a very pretty present, which was
pink and white work basket with five
small pink boxes fastened on the in
side. These boxes were for buttons,
scissors, needle, cotton and thimble.
For few weeks papa had no trou-
BILE; all the buttons were neatly fas-
tened on, and his clothes were nicely
mended and put in his drawer, and in
the evenings he would call her "his
little sewer lady,"
Then Myra made a new friend who
had lust moved next door.
This little girl was not brought up
to be useful, and when Myra was sew
ing and mending Ethel would stand on
the back fence and call for Myra to
come down and play tag.
At first Myra would stay in the
pretty sewing room an hour each day
right after she came home from
school. but now when the new little
