COMING STYLE IN TRIMMING
to Be In Vogue for the Hats
of Fall.

II you propose to trim your fall hat
yourself, you cannot go far wrong If
you place a pert pair of wings or a
sharp pointed bow directly at the
back, and the back trimming must
show a trifle above the high crown,
from a front view. Many of the hats
may be reversed and worn any way
that proves becoming. For example,
the smart little hat of velvet with a
rolled brtm faced with a lighter coll
ored material and having pair of
Mercury wings directly in front. might
be whipped around the other way If
one desired, SO that the wings would
come at the back and the hat would
be equally modish and correct. This
hat has the very. tall pointed tor
.pedo" crown and is perfectly round
at the base. The crown Is covered
with brown velvet and the wings are
brown with fiecks of coral pink color.
This model promises to be favorite
with younger women. The hat is
worn, as the picture shows. slightly
tipped back on the head.

soap suds, rinsed and beaten against
the hand until dry. with perfect sue
cess.
Bands. wings, crown pieces and
masses of plumes are the rule. More
splendid than the head dress of the
savage and almost as strikingly In
evidence are these pieces. Women Of
fashion wear everything in feathers
from the single quill with wonderful
notified coloring from the owl and
eagle, to the Pocahontas wreath Of
wings. A sentiment has been assid-
uously nursed and gradually grown
against certain plumage. but the lack
of this seems to promote the use Of
other feathers. Some states have
forbidden the sale or purchase of the
heron crest, and 1t Is amazing that
limitations have Immediately taken
the place of these feathers, which
seem to serve every purpose of the
original.
Ostrich continues to be the great
favorite. 1t is used In a world of new
mountings.

WISHING.

What do you wish?
You wish, of course. for something
you do not have. You are dissatisfied
with what YOU have You go along, liv-
ing your life. struggling, eager, like
the hound on his scent. and then-you
stop and wish for something.
What do you wish:

Do You remember how the old Ger

wished the sausage might be fastened
to the end of his nose. 1t required the
third wish to remove the sausage from
his nose
Would you be wiser?
A certain newspaper asked its sub
scribers to make three wishes. Many
things were named, but more than all
else the men wished for money, power,
position; the women for money, love
and beauty.
Now
Surprising the men got their money.
power and position. The money would
give them a lot of trouble in keeping
it, the proper use of power would vex
them tremendously. and the demands
of position would soon tire them
And the women's wishes?
Supposing they got the beauty they
crave The day would surely come, as
surely as they are mortals, when that
beauty would fade. The money would
not buy it back And love? That was
the best wish of them all, But love
does not always last. Would it abide?
. Alas for the vain wishes!
Yet not vain They are so human.
And also they are expressive of the
soul And they have much to do with
the shaping of character.
Because
1t is the law of being that you are
fashioned into the likeness of that
which you admire and desire, what
you wish for.
What you wish for determines to a
large extent what you really are.

You may well ask yourself, Do |

YOUR BOYS PIG

If ycu give your boy pig and when
it is grown il becomes fathers hog
You are confusing your boys sense of
property rights.
And YOU may make a criminal of
him besides
IS the statement strong? Listen.
Eighty per cent of all criminals are
propertyless people who have never
been taught to do things skillfully.
Don't you see the moral values in
VOWED in ownership of things and its
effect upon your boy?
Here is where you may begin to
make your boy good citizen. Help
him to own something. Ownership
gives him respect for the property of
others.
Our civilization rests largely on
property rights.
You may say it ought not to be So,
but it is. When you break down prop
erty rights you have anarchy.
"Mine" and thine"
Our stone age parents came TO treas
Il
for their very own. Thus developed
the sense of individual ownership.
Note its beginnings in your baby
boy
Let some other infant get into your
sons high chair and hear the primeval
howl Of the owner Let another child
try to capture your baby's ark or tin
soldiers. There is a fight on.
Now
This sense of personal ownership
and the respect for the property rights
Of others are strong in your boy by
reason of heredity and training
If he grows up to citizenship in the
right way this sense must be fostered
not only for his good. but for society's,
Let the child have his own.
1t matters not what it may be-his
own chicken or tree or spot in the gar
den or what not.
Il is as much of a crime-in a moral
sense-to take the property of y0ur
boy or girl without pay as to take
your neighbours stuff.
Let the child have the pride and the
self respect that go with ownership.
And instill a respect for the property
of others
Because
A mere desire for property easily
may land a man in the penitentiary,
but ownership and respect for the
rights Of others develop morality.

DESIRE AND Use.

If you would develop the powers
within you there is but one way
Use them.
In the south sea islands are certain
birds that have no wings. biologists
tell US the birds once could fly; butt
there being no carnivorous beasts or
reptiles in those countries, the birds
had no need to defend themselves or
| their young
Therefore
The birds grew too lazy to fly up into
the trees and build their nests. They
lived on the ground and fed on insects.
Centuries passed. Gradually the wing
muscles grew fabby, the wing bones
of each generation smaller. Finally,
by. the process of evolution, the birds
came to be wingless.
So OF, your powers.
If you do not use your muscles they
will grow fabby and smaller and of
no account So also Of your mind If
you do not use the muscles of your
will or of your memory or of any fac
ulty of your intellect they win grow
small, fiabby. of no account.
Another Illustration:
Darwin tells us that at first the eagle
could not fly. It's wings were too
small and weak. But it wanted to fly.
and it tried to fly Each eaglet inherit
ed from its ancestors the desire and
determination to fly. Years passed
Pinions grew. Muscles swelled. And

If any part of your body is weak
and there is no organic disease-desire
and use will make it strong.
If any faculty of your mind is weak
and there is good gray matter in
your brain pan-desire and use will
make 1t virile.
But
If, like the birds. you grow lazy and
