New Flower Hat.

Not all the flowers of spring bloom in
garden or field or in the forest hollovs.
A goodly portion are to be found these
days In the millinery shops, where they
are nodding a welcome to the woman
who is tired Of her furs and her beavers,
and even OF her aigrettes and willow
| plumes. They are so bright and CHEEKY
and altogether typical Of the promise Of
the season that even the slender pocket
book must yield to their appeal.
Cerise and the American beauty shades
| play prominent part in the present mil
iinery bouquet. Every year artificial
flowers grow more like their natural pro-
totypes, until there seems nothing more for
the artist to accomplish Among the pref
tiest of the new flower creations are the
wild roses. They shade from the palest
pink to g. burning blush, and their yellow
centers are the height of naturalness
One Mower hat was made entirely of the
foliage OF the wild rose. 1t fitted close
to the head and was edged with the bios
SONS that snuggled down against the
hair. A cluster of foliage and flowers
was caught at the side with a black
Violets seem to epitomize the entire
spirit of spring. and, as always, they are
popular millinery accessory. One hat
is In the colonial shape and is built en-
pale violets and the facing is OF the dark
er shades. A smart cerise bow holds one
OF the turned up sides close to the crown.
Another violet hat is in the new Bob
violets and the other half Of foliage with
knot of pastel pink roses at the side.
Violet hats are sharing favor With
creations Of roses in variety Of shades.
One odd rose hat was of the blossoms in
a deep yellow that shaded into brown.
Across the back butterfly bow Of bronze
green stood up perSily as If about to take
wings and fly. With brown suit the ef-
feet would have been extremely pictur-
esque
A pink rose hat has band of black
velvet drawn around next to the hair and
tied in fiat bow at the side, while an
American beauty rose hat has roll Of
black over white tulle around the sug-
gestion Of crown. with a large flyaway
bow of the tulle in the back.
Among the most striking Of the flower
millinery is hat Of queer faded looking,
old-fashioned flowers that surely never
grew in any garden They look like
pictures of flowers in the magazin of
century ago. OF like the dream of a Ger
man china decorator. But Paris says they
are tremendously fashionable, and there
fore they are the last word
One daring model was of dull brown
foliage, with trace OF autumn red in the
leaves. The shape was q modification of
the Quaker bonnet and framing the face
was single row Of black-eyed Susans.
At the back was the plainest sort of
black bow of wide velvet ribbon. Such
hat is. of course, an extreme Of the
fashion, but on the right type OF girl it
would lose much of it's daring.
Flower hats. il properly cared for, may
be used for the theater all the year. One
resourceful girl possessed particularly
pretty one which had outlived its useful
ness by fading. She touched up the
petals with some Of her water color
paints and it was as fresh and attractive
as when it first came from the milliner's.

A New Use for the Old Shawl.

Any girl whose mother or grandmother
has a silk shawl, no matter what the
size, should endeavor to have it given
to her. Just now the loveliest summer
wraps and matinees are being made from
them, and the fact that the delicate ma
terial need not be cut is apt to make
the owner more willing to transfer it to
the younger member of the family.
AS the shawl is large or Small, it is
manipulated pointed or square. The best
effects will be gained in the latter, if the
wrap is of the small variety. 1t Is taken
for granted that the shawls have fringed
silk fringe as wide as one can afford
should be carefully sewed around. If it
IL impossible to match the color, white
may be substituted, although a black
fective. ?
II the square is a small one the top is
turned over wide enough to form deep
border. twelve inches at least. With this
still back. the shawl is folded squarely
in two. up and down. Then twenty
inches from the middle the top border is
tackled together. This may be done with
a pin to try the best proportion. The
wrap is then put on, the pin or tack
coming at the middle of the back of the
neck.
1t is then necessary to have another
tack put at the bottom of the formed
at the back and the wrap Is complete 1t
REQUIRES no lining OF course. Ribbons or
a fancy clasp may be put on, to hold it
together over the bust.
Variety Is given by making the tack
little to one side OF the middle. The
Fastening then laps over In front when
the wrap Is worn.
When theshawl is wide, it should be
folded first three corners. regulation
shawl fashion. except that the top is not
turned over quite SO far. lacking is the
same as with the other shape.

THE RETURN OF
THE ETON JACKET

One Of the most noticeable features OF
the new French designs which are now
being imported by the leading modistes
is the triumphant return to favor of the
eton jacket. At recent showing of
French frocks meant for spring and sum-
mer wear the short, chic garment ap-
peared not only as part Of afternoon
costumes in wolfe. chiffon and marqui-
sette but also with the serge and other
worsted costumes which are not strictly
tailored. but take the place OF tailored
costumes for women who do not like Sc
we're effects.
One very striking costume Of this sort
was Of gray and black striped suiting, the
skirt made with front panel and a habit
back, the sides Of the skirt draped with
pointed overskirts Of the material over a
black satin underskirt. This gown had
the lower part Of the bodice of black
satin and the upper part OF the striped
material, the neck being finished with d
chemisette of embroidered batiste. With
this was worn an eton Jacket made with
kimono sleeves and a sailor collar faced
with the black satin.
The small jacket is also to be used for
wear with lingerie frocks, and for this it
ia shioned shades Of pink, blue and green
will be popular for these jackets, which
are quite separate from the lingerie gown
and may be regarded as a sort of wrap.
One jacket Of old blue taffeta worn with
lingerie gown Of embroidered ecru
batiste, made in empire style, was fin
ished with a pleating Of the silk along
the lower edge. The jacket was trimmed
with braided silk in inch bands The
sleeves were quite wide and reached to
the elbow, and were finished with turn
back cuffs Of the silk covered with We
netian lace.
All new costumes from Paris have the
short waist line, and all afternoon and
evening gowns are made in the empire
style. The skirts are deliberately trimmed
and quite scanty, the sleeves of elbow
length and somewhat fuller than they
have been. When the eton jackets are
not used the coats to the new suits are
made short wasted and cutaway and
are usually quite deliberately trimmed
Many of the waists are draped in surpiice
fashion. the skirts being joined to the
bodice by a cording.

Tasty Recipes.

1t is always a good idea to have in the
handy book some special dishes that may
be prepared quickly for the unexpected
guest. This is particularly a pertinent
fact il the hostess is a suburban dweller
and has to entertain according to train
timetable schedule. OF course, it is a
foregone conclusion that all out-of-town
hostesses have the cake box and the pre-
serve shelves always ready to fall back
upon. Coffee, tea and chocolate are
quickly made. and lemonade. grape Juice
and homemade wines are usually on hand
to serve. The usual homemade bread and
the fresh butter are always a treat to
the aprreciative. The quick dish must be
hot or a salad of some sort, preferably a
hearty one.

New Sidewalk.

DR.. ]. L. Short, of Rolla, is putting
down 210 feet of concrete sidewalk
along the Seymour street side of his
property, and the editor is having 60
feet put down across the front of his
property, "string" of 275 feet,
and this completes the walk on the
east side of Seymour street. The
next in order will be a walk on the
west side, and then Seymour will be
one of the best in town. Dillon &
Cleveland have the contract, and
with DR.. Short to superintend the job
it will be frstclass. We presume the
city will put in crossing at once anc
complete the job.
Later: As DR.. Short insisted on the
walk being put down according tt
the specifications of the city ordi
nances the contractors, Messrs. Dill
Ion and Cleveland, jumped the gam
and quit.
ANOTHER DAY LATER: The DR.
has decided that the walk shall b
put down right, and thus set an ex
ample for those intending to build,
pattern to 60 by for all time.
