APPRECIATION.

in acknowledging a Sunshine greeting.

work you are doing through the T. s. s.
helping and bringing sunshine into the lives
and hearts of so many who are unfortu-

\ Brooklyn widow says II never expect
ed to be remembered at Thanksgiving, as
so much had been done for me and mine
during the summer and at other times. but
I am no less grateful for now my little
children can have some extra comforts"
struggling Manhattan mother was thankful
that. through the kindness Of the T. s s.
her little family had enough to eat for one
day at least. and had something left for
coal. Southern invalid writes that her
unexpected gifts provided some necessary
comforts a Michigan invalid was enabled
TO get some needed medicine with her Sun

MLD-SEASON HATS
Tulle 1cith Fur or Strazc for
Southern Wear.

1t is little perplexing TO be asked to
consider spring clothes before the winter
has hardly begun. but the Southern
cruises begin next month the manufactur-
ers must cater TO the travelling clientele.
Mid-season styles are generally expert
ments or readaptations Of winter fashions.
In the matter of hats the buyer has wide
range OF choice; IN fact, nowhere is IL
more possible TO give expression to indi-
vidual taste and personal idiosyncrasy than
in millinery.
The Russian style, which has invaded the
fashions so completely, was first introduced
through the Cossack turban. but now that
the fashion has come 10 stay in gowns and
suits II is deserving the millinery. The
Spanish turban-the distinction being more
subtle than reals TO take its place. The
chief difference is in the brim which is not
quite so wide and is more closely rolled.
The mushroom hat seems to be breathing
its last. completely vanquished by the cava-
lier hat with its rolling brim, turned UP
on the left side. The tricOrne and the Ma
poleon shapes have Geen put off the field
by the big picture hat in natural color leg
horn or in black NeapOlitan or real hair.
For the mid-Season hat taffeta. chiffon
and moire will be used. The model here
shown has combined tulle with fur. and

FOR A CONSUMPTIVE GIRL
A lifelong subscriber of The Tribune at
Pine Plains. \. Y. makes the following
plea:
There came frora New York City last
summer poor working girl dying Of tuber-
culoss. She said lat no home OF hospital
in New York would open its doors to her.
and as she spent the summer near my
home I could not help getting interested
in her. We sent her to the tuberculosis
camp at Poughkeepsie in the fall for a
short stay, and there she improved. She is
now at her home in Jersey City. and her
sister has had TO leave her own work TO
care for her. Perhaps some of your good
members would send a bit of cheer for her
at Christmas. il not before"
The T. 5. S. will gladly forward any spe-
cial gift for the stricken girl.
