A NEW YEARS RESOLVE
Hints For Girls Who Going Trim Their Own Hats
ltr-estIa-e lIs~ss.lt Ves1Aes.

THERE are few things that pay you
better than a capacity for trim
ming your own hats. II you have the
knack OF style. the materials cost little
enough. and with twist and a turn
a charming confeotion is quickly pro-
duced. To such a person it naturally
all comes easy.
But there are many little hints that
will help the novice who has tried her
apprentice hand without much sue
cess. First OF all. try and teach your
self 10 judge an untrimmed shape. II
is sometimes so difficult to choose one,
for In its bare state there is little re-
semblance to the finished article.
When trying on various shapes put
the crown OF each hat out OF your call

is the cause of the ugly appearance an
untrimmed hat is sure TO possess when
being tried on. The trimming will
remedy all that: It is the brim you

green flax thread OF something of the
kind. Put the needle down through
the crown from the outside and bring
II up again. Cut your thread, leaving
two lengths; lay the little spray be-
tween these and tie them securely.
Snip the ends afterward close to the
knot to neaten it off. In this manner
a very light effect is produced, as the
single blooms can be fitted in just
where they are required and secured
exactly, whereas If they were sewed
over and over it would be much more
difficult to do. and tying with thread
is firm even on the himsiest shape.

when the lining is drawn up no one is
any the wiser It is easy to pin a

ILLUSTRATED RHYMES.

Quite a stunt for an impromptu
party Of young people recently was a
contest which consisted in illustrating
Mother Goose rhymes. They seemed
to enjoy the fun nightly, and it GER
tainly took little time or trouble to get
II up.
Verses from the celebrated rhymes
were written on large pieces OF card
board, and they were passed with pen
ellis
Each boy or girl drew a picture to
illustrate the rhyme he or she held.
and the prizes were announced as be-
ing in waiting for the best.
Twenty minutes were allowed for
thinking up the picture and drawing Il.

book and the second a plaster of paris

shape and a couple of yards OF the
thinnest-probably the cheapest-taf-
feta silk, on the cross, is good value in
the hands of the amateur. Gather up
one end Of the silk and fasten 1t on
the hat. It really does not matter
much where. Bring the silk round; It
simply takes you In hand and ar
ranges itself into charming folds. Let
IL do pretty well what II likes and
then stitch or pin It to meet where It
was originally fastened. Bunch up the
remaining end or cut It or and make
the finish separately. good bow can
be made by folding the whole breadth
into loop. Gather It up in your hand,
catch it with a needle. using strong
thread. which is wound round firmly.
Gather up another loop and secure 1t
in the same way. You will soon have
a regular bunch of smart loops to pin
on to your hat.
An inexperienced amateur miliiner
should beware OF overlooking or over
trimming.

MUSINGS OF ELINOR HITE

I THINK IL Is time that some one
gave men a little advice for a
change. From the moment a girl can
read there are. she finds. people who
do nothing apparently but write pages
in scolding her, praising her. advising
her and condemning her. telling her
just what TO do and how to do It. how
to make herself charming and attrac-
tive how TO treat the man she means
TO marry and what TO say TO the man
she means to refuse.
SO now. to turn the tables. here's
some advice for the men.
Some men seem TO think it doesn't
matter what they do or say once
they're married. and they wear just
anything" at home.
But when they were courting they
tried. / am sure, to look their very
best Then they were most particular
about the set OF a coat and the crease
in the trousers.
They shaved until a baby's face was
hairy in comparison. Altogether they
looked quite dandihed. and quite right
too. A girl naturally likes the man
she is with to be we'll groomed She
is proud to see him we'll turned out
But afterward are you men quite as
keen TO look your best and do credit
to your women folks after marriage as
you were before?
or are they supposed TO admire you
just as much no matter how carelessly
you are dressed?
Remember. sir. she still has eyes and
can compare you with other men. and
for the sake OF happiness at home It
is well that it should be to your ad-
vantage.
I cannot see why a man should think
he can 60 about like scarecrow just
because he is married. but many men
really seem to have this idea.
Such men. though. would probably
make a great fuss II their wives were
to so about the house In disarray Yet
these same men will go around the
home in shapeless slippers. minus col
lars. no coats and badly shaved. II
