THE FLOWER HAT
Attractive Headgear That Any Clev-
err Girl Can Put Together
at Home.

Attractive flower hats can be easily
made by clever girl, whose time Is
her own. A frame of white silk wire
can be bought at any OF the shops,
and there is wide variety of popular
shapes from which to choose.
The frame should first be covered
with fine white material and then the
flowers are put on in solid mass OF
color all over the entire surface OF the
hat. The brim is faced with shirred
net or soft silk or satin In pale col
or to harmonic with the blossoms.
No trimming is required except,
perhaps. stiff cockade of wired black
velvet ribbon, forming many-loop
bow at the left side. Black and white
aigrettes are also used on these hats.
A close-fitting hat with a turned
down brim. was of geraniums in all
the tones from the palest pink to deep
crimson. The brim was faced with
soft pink satin and at the left side of
the crown was a knot and two loops
of black velvet ribbon Jet ball hat
pins were worn, and the touches of
black among the flowers were i'm
mensely attractive,
Violets are charming, slender
sprays of wistaria, scarlet peoples,
tiny moss roses and English prim-
roses make charming hats for wear
with summer frocks.

Three.Piece Suit.

What is the three-piece suit? AL
though it is prophesied and predicted
for spring and summer. no one has yet
clearly defined it, and few seem to
know exactly what it means.
The three-piece suit is really only
a two-piece suit. although it combines
three garments--bodice. skirt and coat.
1t seems to have been originally
dubbed "three-piece' last spring, when
the fashion was TO wear a skirt and
blouse of the same shade and a coat
TO match the skirt. This was really a
three-piece suit which gave the effect
of a complete dress and coat. Later,
when whole gowns were made and
worn with coats, the name seemed to
cling, although the suit changed its
character.

softer, looser weaves. To be sure, the

LINcoLN's STORY.
II Contained q Lesson For the Ma,
With a Grievance.

II Contained q Lesson For the Man
With Grievance.
An old farmer once called at the
White House and complained that the
Union soldiers in passing his farm had
helped themselves not only to hay, but
to his horse, and he hoped the presi-
dent would urge the proper officer to
consider his claim Immediately.

coin blandly, 81 couldn't think of such
a thing. If I consider Individual cases

presidents
The caller urged his needs persistent
~, and Mr.. Lincoln declined good ma
turedly.
But" said the persevering sufferer,
couldn't you just give me a line to
Colonel - about it-just one Iine?"
'Ha, ha, HAP responded the presi-
dent, crossing his legs. THAT reminds
me Of old Jack Chase out in Illinois
You see, Jack-I knew him like q
brother-used to be a lumberman on
the Illinois river. and he was steady
and sober and the best raftsman on
the stream. 1t was quite trick to take
the logs over the rapids, but he was
skillful with a raft and always kept
her straight in the channel. Finally
steamer was put on, and Jack-he's
dead now, poor fellow!-was made
captain Of it. He always used to take
the wheel going through the rapids.

and wallowing along the boiling cur,

being exercised to keep it in the mar

and hailed him with:
