Good side of Ironing.

To mere man, uncultured and unashamed,
the ~flatiron seem a thing Of evil, observes
Success Magazine. Its use renders the
house uninhabitable one day out Of seven;
1t distracts woman's attention from the all
important matter of preparing food. In
shameless conspiracy with starch, it rem
ders clothes uncomfortables. turns napkins
into slippery boards, and banishes sleep
from beds. Civilized man is a slave Of the
ironing board, and the boiled shirt is the
emblem Of his degradation.
Now, the scientists tell us that ironing
has an important function as an antiseptic;
that the hot iron Is one of our leading
germ killers. This instrument of torturS
may AVE a temperature OF 266 degrees,
and that they say, is more than enough
to satisfy the most fastidlous bacillus. In
where sterililzing devices are not
handy, surgical dressings may be ironed
with great advantage, and in a recent
experiment clothing which had been worn
dlphtheria patients was completely dis
infected by the use of a hot iron.
Long-suffering man will note with rakef
that the scientists have said nothing in
defense Of starch. There has been no vim

The crown may be of white or light

Of trimming is to run a line OF flowers

around the crown may be swathed tulle
or satin, or perhaps the crown itself may be
entirely draped OF tulle or satin and only

satin and at the left side two long quilts.
The gladlalus is. by the way, one OF the
recent additions to the list OF artificial
flowers and exceedingly good results are
obtained with It where a stiff effect is
needed instead OF graceful Happiness. The
flower makers have been wonderfully sue
cessful in the color schemes OF this flower,
though often d~isregardlng natures recon-

dark hats we have seen was a very dark

In the winter millinery and the bronze,

erring skill is demanded there.
So, as has been said before, one can
~sympathize with the master milliners in
their loyalty to this fad, but all the same
many workfolk rave suffered through this
freak OF the mode, and It. is to be hoped
that not only summer hats, but the win
ter hats that lie beyond will be literally
trimmed.
Flowers, tulle, lace, satin, velvet and
ribbon. with the ~irrepresslble aigrette and
occasional ostrich plumes seem to be hav-
ing things their own way in the first sum-

bird effects.

winter, though the tricorne has lost caste,

audacious bicorne models rolling back
boldly from the face. set on the head at
a knowing angle n flower or feather

kinds OF straw.

OF the flowers blending delightfully."- with
the green Of the foliage and the echoing
green of the straw, but the same idea
could be carried out acceptably in many
other materials and coloring. A leghorn
with delicate masses Of morning glories
would be particularly good, and the shape
which though picturesque is conservative
and generally becoming, may be found in
almost any Of the modish braids.
The broad brimmed hat invariably comes
to the fore with summer days, though
small hats have their uses even in midsum-
mer, and it seems that these big hats are
to be more than ordinarily possible this
season. though they are on the whole ire
mendously picturesque. Perhaps the pos
sibility lies in the variety. That is a diff
ficult face which cannot be suitably
framed in some one of the big hats this
summer.
A few Louis XVI. shapes were seen last
summer and more were promised. The
promise has been kept and now one finds
delectable models labeled Frangonard or
some such suggestive title, and rolling up
a~udaciously at the back while dropping
over the face in front. Sometimes the roll

where above the right eyebrow. a faint
roll being still retained above the left side
Of the forehead. The lifting Of the brim
at the left front makes the back roll shape
much more becoming to some faces than
is the ell around front droop.

creeping toward the back during the last
year has -foreshadowed the return Of the

pretty, are being shown by all the fashion
able milliners. The Persian designs and
colorings in the printed cotton stuffs are
favored for this purpose and the material
is softly pulled over crown and brim and
simply trimmed with a scarf or cleon or
some odd little cluster Of flowers in the
colors of the cotton. Other designs follow
ing the antique printed cotton and linen
ideas are used and dainty looking hats
for a summer morning are covered with
cool buff and white, rose and white, green
and white or lavender and white cotton
stuff.
Satin-covered crowns combine with
straw brims are another OF the somewhat
freakish ideas exploited by authoritative
makers, not the delightful turbans of which
we have already spoken, with draped
crown of black satin and straw brim, but
wide-brimmed shapes who's crown is COW

ming arrangement which will quite alter
the head silhouette to which we have
grown accustomed. The turbans and small
hats will probably follow suit and we
shall once more have bach hair revela-
tons.
A BLACK straw Fraggonard pictured on
this page was encircled by a band of rose
silk finely plated and cut in points on
the upper edge, with little pastiles OF the
silk applied between the points, and a
cluster OF big pink roses trimmed the
crown at the back. Another model, whose
wide brim rolled up rather more sharply in
the back than did the brim of the black
and rose model. was OF the faintest lilac
erin. Deeper lavender velvet ribbon was
drawn loosely around the crown and held
slightly out over the brim at the right
front by a delicate pink rose, while at
the left back were massed lilacs, shading
from dark to light, and creamy pink roses.
There is a noticeable effort TO increase
the amount of trimming on the modish hat
and many OF the new models are flower
laden. but the designers are unwilling to
give up their cult OF the unbroken line,
even though this winter fad has called
forth bowls OF protest from the manufac-
turers of millinery trimmings. A hat OF
handsome material, original and artistic
line and almost no trimming or none at all
has been the last word OF smartness dur
ing the winter and one can understand that
an artist might delight in making such a
model, feeling that here she was on her
mettle, that in success with such uncom-
promising severity lay a tombstone sure
to differentiats between the true artist and
the novice. Given beautiful flowers or
plumes. ribbons, etc, happy accident may
