All Sorts of Hats.

For the most part shapes are high, with
from one to three inches Of brim, that is
fattened against the head.
Materials are varied in straw and braid,
and. for the early season, in net, shlrred
silk and marauisette.
Jet turbans are often stunning looking,
but, besides the probability of their be-
coming too common. they are very heavy.
Conservative persons prefer jetted net,
and the hats are trimmed usually with
morning glories orchids, or French violets.
There are also combination hats with
brims OF shirred satin or gauze and entire
jet crowns. Straw is used in the same
way with a brim of shirred fabric.
The new sailor has low. broad crown
and wide brim. a little wider at one side
than the other. The sides curl up very
slightly.
A new shade Of blue has appeared IN
millinery. known both as the Bosphrous
and the Danube As it's name implies. It is
a water shade Of blue, and is particularly
effective in a bunch of fluffy novelty

Metallic net bids fair TO be much used for

To clean the Net Yoke

One great dimcuityA about the pre-
valent style of spring frock, of cloth
or other heavy fabric, with the ever
present net yoke, is the fact that the
yoke becomes soiled after a few wear
ings. while the dress is still perfectly
fresh. Constant visits to the cleaners
are an expensive luxury and 1t is not
always desirable to rip the yoke out.
The spring and summer show sings Of
presenting the same difficulty, so that
one way of cleansing which is simple
and practical is still worth telliIg
about. II is so simple in fact that
many women have probably already
discovered it for themselves. This is
to place under the yoke a thick Turk
ish towel. and scrub it with a nail
brush, dipped in tepid water and-soap.
To rinse. pour water from a cup onto
the yoke holding it upside down so
that the water will not run upon the
frock. If this is done carefully, not
a drop of water should fly off to spot
the goods.

Millinery at Home.

The first matter is needle and thread.
Ordinary fine thread and needles do
not seem adequate.
Shoe thread is much better.
As to needles, the "glove needle" is
best, with its three sided point that
goes easily through almost anything.
Velvet bows should always be made
with shoe thread.
Wrap the thread around the loops TO
hold them firm. and use the same
thread to sew the bow to the hat.
Quilts and feathers may be attached
in the same way.
When it is necessary to tack the tips
of ostrich plumes, to hold them at a
given angle, fine black thread is bet
ter, with number ten needle.
