show small shapes with dropping
brims and high pulled crowns, with
small wings set in an irregular row
about the base of such crowns. Ro-
settes r. silk or velvet conferred with
bird heads are a novelty, but wom-
en- seem to prefer any part of the
bird rather than the head these days,
so not many of these are in evidence.
There is something of an exception
to this in the very unreal looking
heads, or faces, rather, of the owl
made up in feathers of brilliant col
orings borrowed from the peacock
and other birds of magnificent col
ors.
AS may be seen in our illustrations,
the poise of wings on the hat may
vary from the folded wing of a sleep
ing child Of the air to those spread
for flight. The fancy of the trim
mer is not curtailed in any way ex-
cept by the lines of the shape she
wishes to decorate and the becoming
ness of the result Those are the only
two things that count

Old-Timey RuffIes.

There is a fondness for all sorts OF
ruffled treatments. particularly those
that are quaint and old timey looking,
and they are developed in every ma.
terial that is on the summer list. A
pretty little dress that looked of the
vintage Of the early eighties, was Of
fine Irish Gimity, lowered stripe, in
closed between stripes of black. all on
a white ground yellow was the pre-
dominating color, though not very con-
spicuous among the flower colors that
made up the pattern with it. The
foundation of the skirt was plain
gored, turned in a three-inch hem at
the bottom. Meeting this hem was a
deep flounce of fine embroidery that
was applied at knee depth, with a
ruching for a heading, the ruching
of the dimity over this fell the tunic
in pannier effect. Meeting at the CEN
ter-front, the two side-lengths spread
apart to disclose the whole of the
flounce and the upper portion of the
skirt. 1t was headed with an inch
wide ruffling of the dimity.

Small Things Mark Dividing Line
Between the Careful Dresser and
She Who Is Not

Stylish buttons for linen frocks are
made by covering the button mold
with the material and on top of them
making a star-shaped design of three
sections of coronation braid. two of
the small figures of braid being used
to a section. These are crossed in
the middle of the button and taken
to the outer edge to form the star.
Stylish rosettes of velvet or satin
are made by doubling lengthwise bias
strips Of velvet three inches wide.
Basic the lower edges together to pre-
vent them slipping, then begin in cen
ire with short roll and coil around I'M
til all the material is used up.
A trimming for a girls hat of white
lace is a deep floral band of forget
me-nots reaching almost to the top Of
the crown and with only the edge Of
the brim showing below it, This is
divided through the middle with soft
folds of interlaced blue ribbon ending
in a big bow at one side.
Again the tiny stiff bows of black
velvet or black velvet with a color
are introduced across the front of the
draperies and as a finish to one sleeve.
They must be skilfully used not to
look patchy.

Using Up Old Ribbons.

Have you lot of bows, sashes and
hat trimmings that are too faded and
shabby for further use? Rip out all
the stitches, clean off all spots, press
all wrinkles and then put them into
dye pot with silk dye.
If you select ribbon of nearly the
same color and quality to go in the
pot at one time you should have
enough good looking ribbon to make
nice plated frills for the winter petit
coat.
These dyed ribbons can also be util-
lied as color Innings, facings or in
making patchwork quilt, For such
permanent work, however, it is better
not to dye as it sometimes rots silk.
Wash ribbon carefully and use the
best bits.

ticler" has really awakened the world
to the beauty of feathers, wings, lit
tie and wings big, and all sorts of
between sizes, grace the new hats for
fall. They poise. folded or out
spread, dropping or about to fly-in
single pairs or whole focks on the
graceful shapes of the new season.
Nearly all the wings are well made,
and some of them are simply the
natural bird wing, properly cured"
or treated for millinery use. Some
of the very large ones are finished
with breasts of the grebe or rosettes
made of parted feathers or with feath-
er cabochons, so that they are ready
for placing on the shape. Velvet is
used with wings, usually as a drape
about the shape or forming a puffed
crown. Some of the prettiest models

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend in This Case.

1t is not always that a lack Of
money is benefit.
A lady of Green Forest, Ark, owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling of her
case she says:
Il had been treated by four differ
ent physicians during 10 years Of
stomach trouble. Lately l called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that l had neuralgia of the stom-
ach. Then l went to a specialist who
told me l had catarrh of the stomach
and said he could cure me in four
months but would have to have his
money down. l could not raise the
necessary sum and in my extremity 1
was led to quit coffee and try Postum.

at night, something l had not done
for long time; the pain in my stom-

Il dreaded to quit coffee. because

trouble and extreme nervousness. But

Ideas fer Porch, Garden, Excursion
and Picnic Parties.

Ideas fer Porch, Garden, Excursion
and Picnic Parties.
This is the heyday of the picnic
season, when we flee to the woods if
we can; if not we satisfy ourselves
with day in the park supper on
the beach, or a quiet porch party at
home
The really enjoyable affairs are
those arranged without much prepa-
ration.
Wooden plates, aluminium forks,
spoons and cups are not expensive
and tighten the weight of the picnic
basket. Paper napkins will be
found to answer every purpose and
are a great saving when laundry
work bust be considered. AS these
outings are for special rest and
health, care should be taken to pro-
vide only easily digested foods, es-
pecially where there are children.
Older people may indulge in fancy
dishes and highly seasoned salads,
but the children should be spared A
cheap chatting dish is a convenience
in which one may prepare a Clipped
beef, creamed; creamed eggs or
rarebit These, with bread and but
ter sandwiches, a simple salad and
coffee. make a pleasant first course.
Fruit alone may follow as dessert.
Sandwiches are in endless variety
these days. Chopped meat or fish
rubbed to paste with cream, butter
or mayonnaise dressing and spread
on thin slices Of either brown or
white bread, make a nourishing,
wholesome sandwich.
Sandfiches should be wrapped in
waXed paper Salad sandwiches are
nice only when fresh, as standing
only an hour will spoil their crisp
ness and make them unpalatable.
Fruits are always acceptable both as
food and drink. They quench the
adding burden to the body. The salts
and acids they contain cool and thin
the blood.
Tomatoes are easily carried and
served on lettuce make a pleasant
addition to a meat sandwich.
Water is the best, most wholesome
and cheapest drink Lemonade is a
great favorite, but should be used
sparinely if serving other fruit In
quantity. The lemon juice may be
extracted and carried in a bottle.
Garden, and porch parties differ
from picnics in both arrangements
and serving. The kitchen being with
in easy reach, dainty entrees. salads
and ices are possible to serve. One
large table may be arranged on the
porch or under the trees or small
tables may be scattered about
If hot dishes are to be served the
preparations may be made early in
the day Croquettes and outlets may
be fried. placed on a paper in the
oven and reheated In a few minutes
in a hot oven.
Cold dishes like pressed chicken,
deviled tongue. or salads are to be
chosen by those who wish to enter
tain on small means and with linn
tied help. Where wise forethought
and planning are done forty persons
may be nicely served by a single
maid.

a Graceful Wrap.

A soft, light wrap for the woman
who needs slight protection over the
summer frock is made from soft crepe
de chine in white or pale colors.
The double-width crepe is used. and
the wrap cut on circular pattern,
something like dolman back, that
falls below the hips at the back. The
fronts are cut into long points, reach
ing almost to the bottom of the gown.
The entire wrap is edged with silver
fringe an inch and half deep, the
fronts turning back like a rever around
the neck and to the lower points
which end in a silver tassel.

Good Record Made by Women.

Through the activity of women, in
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment
Of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions of
pieces, thousands of lectures have
been given, large sums of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi-
ties where no movement had existed;
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods of proven
ton of tuberculosis The work of the
women extends from the drawing room
of the rich to the homes of the poor,
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year a special campaign Of
lectures to women will be carried on
in all parts of the United States.

MATCHES MODERN
Inventor Of First Practical Ones Was
American Whose Idea Was Pat
ented by Another.

Friction matches are a comparative
ly modern invention. They were first
made by John Walker in England. in
1927. but were rather crude affairs.
He improved them somewhat in 1888
by using phosphorus. The first really
practical friction match was made In
the United States in 1886 by L. c. Al
len Of Springfield. Mass. Before this
time a clumsy form of match was i'm
ported from France. which had to be
dipped into bottle Of sulphuric acid
before 1t could be lighted.
This took great deal of time and
trouble. and Allen. seeing the neces-
sity for friction matches, set about to
make them, and succeeded. He neg
lected to patent them. however. and on
finally applying for letters patent
found that a man named Alonzo Phil
ips. who was q peddler. had discov-
cred through a third person the secret
Of making the matches and had al
ready obtained patent Thus Allen.

to become a mere manufacturer under

POWER, OF WORD OVER MAN
Calling Llfe-Prsservsr "eslt" Caused
the loss Of Many Lives In bour-
ooone Disaster.

A vivid illustration Of the power Of
mere words over human beings was
once bro light to the attention of French
people by Francisque Sarcey.
After the wreck of the Bourgogne
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life preservers on.
These life preservers were fastened
upon the bodies but round the middle
instead of under the arms, and the
greater weight of the upper part Of
the body had tipped the head under
water and the person Of course was
inevitably drowned.
Now it appears that the greater
number Of the persons so drowned
were French. The French term for
life preservers is ceinture de sauve-
tage., or life saving belt" This word
ceinture suggests to the mind. in its
moments of disorder and unreadiness
such as great catastrophe brings.
the idea Of putting on a belt, and. as
where else. the frightened person in
stinctively adjusts the life preserver
close about the hips.
The result is that as soon as the
person 80 provided falls into the wa
ter. his body tips over. with the heav-
Ter part downward. and the head Is
plunged beneath the surface
The word belt" therefore, was the
cause Of the loss of many lives in the
Bourgogne disaster. Sarcey accord
ingly proposed to counteract the ia
tai effect Of the article. and calling lit
brassiere. which is a kind of waist.
ard, by bringing the word bras or
arm to mind. to teach people to put
life preserver on just underneath
the arms.

Novel Insurance.

The good people Of Frankfort seem
to have gone one better than the re-
cent innovation at Lloyd's to insure
against bad weather during holidays.
The Frankforters have started a COM
pany to insure the lives Of dogs.
Whether the policies are for endow-
ment or annuities or for death only
we do not know. nor is the name of
the company given. but Paris con-
temporary suggests that 1t will prob
ably be the "Hundenlebenversich
unggesellschaft." or something ap-
preaching 1t. The idea of insuring
children's lives is not pleasant. but
the prospect Of making money out
of the death Of the friend Of man Is
more repellant. Such an idea was not
in the notion stage when .Lamartine
declared. The more I see Of men the
more I love dogs" II It had been. the
aphorism would probably have been
more scathing.
