 A novelty in the binding Of hats is to take a ribbon about three inches . wide, gather at each edge, and draw up ito fit over the brim edge as wide on the lower as on the upper side. The Charlotte Corday is fast gain ing in favor in the lace lingerie hats. Lace is used over colored silk En- Ing, and a bunch of flowers or rose made of ribbon is the trimming.

 A Charming Excursion.
 No resident of Bridgeport who is entertaining inland visitors should aI- low them to depart without giving them the pleasure of one of the daily matinee excursions to port Jefferson. Such a trip is always a source of de- light to lovers of beautiful scenry, who enjoy a breath of sea air. AL though it is only small place and unknown fame, Port Jefferson posses ses one of the loveliest harbors in the world, and there are far-traveled peo- pie who rank the entrance to it with the Bay of Naples in point of natural beauty. Of course, the architectural accessories and the storied associa- tions are lacking; but the stately con formation of the land is almost equal ly striking. The harbor is particu- larly attractive during the month of July. The level afternoon light dis plays it's charming contours to per- fections and the trip across the Sound Is an ideal one. Those who have nev- CT taken it have an unexpected plea sure in store for them, and will be fully repaid for their bit of explora- ton.
