New Paper Napery

FOR Informal feasts that do not re-
quire formal tables there is moth
ing like the convenience Of paper
napery." The table covers and nap
kins supplied BY the shops even ex-
press a degree Of smartness. but there
are smart or vulgar paper hxings just
as there are smart or poor linen ones.
For any informal entertaining. such
as the children's parties chahng dish
suppers and afternoon tea. there are
sets showing borders Of crisp jonquils
yellow tulips and pretty apple boughs
In fun blossom. From 35 to so cents
is charged for the handsoner Of these
sets, and the covers at least are stout
enough TO last several times with care.
For the younger children the paper
napery takes on high jinlSs in the ami
NAL or Mother Goose way. and with
some of the plain white things which
are intended for the housekeeper of
taste who must economize on her ma
perry there are some thin napkins al
most silky in finish and prettily fringed.
These are often used with a linen cloth
for Sunday night teas, and, although
afternoon tea does not call for a SER
viette. such kinds are in perfect keeping
with taste II linen ones are wanting
An attractive way to put the napkin
on an afternoon tea table is to fold
each one IN a neat square and then
tie the bundle with a narrow ribbon.
The guest helps herself from the bun

The plain white paper napkin or one
slightly decorated is never vulgar, and
II it comes from China or Japan 1t
may even be a thing of beauty.
Such tasteful and inexpensive SER
viettes. indeed, would help out a home
limited in house linen tremendously
for they could be used when a linen
one could not. Then there is the
eternal comfort Of their never needing

Hats For Small Child
No End Of Quaint and Charming Styles
10 Select From.

THE baby's hat changes in style a.
much as his mothers does. The
hats OF this season are graceful and
easily made. For hard wear nothing
equals hats Of embroidered pique. To
launder easily the brims and crowns
are made separate and buttoned to-
gether. The crown is worked with a
simple wreath Of detached flowers on
top and is finished on the edge with
groups Of three buttonholed scallops
alternating with a long tab that
reaches nearly TO the edge OF the brim.
This is buttonholed around the edges
In a straight line.
The brim is cut double with the rib
side OF pique out on both sides and the
edges buttonholed together. The head
opening is then cut In circle and the
edge bound with tape. The crown but
tons down on the brim about an inch
beyond the head size. and the tabs
also button.
A wide soft ribbon is run under the
tabs and tied at the back in a big bow.
This ribbon may be colored to match
the frock. or a soft null scarf may be
used with ends scalloped and en-
broidered.

Story of Orris Root
II Is Prepared From the Iris For Pow
der and Perfumes.

MosT people know that orris root is
one OF the chief ingredients of
violet powder. and many others are
well acquainted with the strangely
shaped pieces Of white root that seem
like dried ginger. which give out the
delicate and subtle scent OF the violet,
and perhaps the privileged few know
that It is made from the roots Of a
kind OF iris; but there. as a rule. their
knowledge stops. and so did mine
some years ago until I--visited Italy,
and in the sunny land Of flowers
learned the story Of the orris root.
High on one OF the many beautiful
hills surrounding Florence stands an
old villa inclosed In a garden, and such
a garden, where nature and the gar
dener's art seem never at variance.
In that garden / renewed my ac-
quaintance with the iris. says n cor
respondent Of the London Queen. and
remembered how years before had
been first introduced TO IL and to its
lovely cousin. the white Florentine
iris. in the quaint old garden of the
Convent OF the Certosa, near Florence.
A brown robed monk had told us that
the roots OF the irisswhen prepared and
dried In the sun became the orris root
OF commerce, famous for making violet
powder. violet scent and other per-
fumes.
Never have I seen the cultivation
Of the iris and the preparation Of or

summer I'm the Tuscan Apennines

grapes, olives laden with green ber-
ries. and under them and between
them little plantations or fields OF Iris

is called In Italy, is planted thinly and
allowed to grow for three years, when
bundles These are then prepared.
Nearly the whole OF the tuberous root
is cut OF, leaving only tiny bit with
fibers in order that the plant may
grow when it is replanted. as It is at
once for another three years OF peace.
