Strings on Hats.

A number of the wide brimmed hats
Of the summer have loose, floating
strings that tie on the shoulder or
knot we'll below the bust. They do
not tie beneath the chin in the old
manner. They are usually Of black
velvet and go across the crown of the
hat and are lightly attached to the
sides.
Some girls toss the strings backward
over the shoulder or in front Of the
arm and let them hang without tying.
On a hat trimmed with foliage these
velvet ribbons are quite a good touch.

of the present-day fancy farms those which
make specially of white stock.
Now that the taste for amateur farming is becom-

is that of Lady Abingdon, at Criche England, which
has been in existence thirty five years.

He thought of his mother, of her past sorrows, and
this last would inevitably crush her brave
heart. His uncle, of course would never forgive
him; and to the actual loss he dared not even try
to reckon it. Whether it his fault his great
misfortune, he would again be put into posi-

But aside from the fine specimens represented, it
is the careful attention. the rfagging which
