Southey in his life Of Wesley relates
the following whimsical incident. He
states that some of the opponents Of
these religionists In the excess Of zeal
against enthusiasm took up whole
wagon load Of Methodists and carried
them before justice. When they
were asked what these persons had
done there was an awkward silence
At last one Of the accusers said,
why. they pretend to be better than
other people. and. besides. they pray
from morning till night"
The magistrate asked If they had
done nothing else.
"Yes. sir" an old man said. ANT

.F|CHuS OF OLD LACE
AND FLOWER HATS
With SprIgged Gowns They Are
Quaint and Picturesque.

Fichus and flower hats are very pop
ular with the summer girl. Whether
the flower hat is a result of the fimy
fichu. or vice versa. one Is the compile

worn with its present effectiveness
without the other.
One clever girl resurrected an organ
die dress long ago relegated to the
back closet. The fabric showed a
shadow design Of pink roses on white
back ground. the shadow leaves OF
green giving just the proper contrast.
She cut out the high necked yoke
and draped about the shoulders II

graceful as chiffon. The edge was fin
ished with fluted frill of the mate
rial and caught together in front with
an old fashioned pin.
With it she wore a wide leghorn hat
wreathed with pink roses so natural
looking one wanted to breathe their
fragrance A wide streamer Of black
velvet ribbon was caught underneath
the chin in picturesque fashion.
Regarding the flower hat, the I'M
agination may run riot in the matter
Of trimmings. One Of the favorite
bouquets for distributing over the wide
brim is sweet peas in all their vare-
gated shades
Another flower lending itself grace
fully to hat adornment is wistaria.
One lingerie hat Of unusual dainti-
ness was Of white point d'esprit, the
entire brim covered with pale I ak and
