"They did," said Mrs. Fleming.

~ HE little miss has a much wider
choice in hats than she had a few
years ago. Since it became the
fashion to copy shapes made for
grown-ups, in small sizes, for young
heads, children's millinery has become
much more interesting to the pur-
chaser and much less taxing in it's
demands on the milliner. The variety
in shapes makes it possible, also, to
suit the child's individual style.
Two good designs are shown here,
suitable for girls from about 8 to 16
years old. They are made on the
familiar bell and helmet shapes and
only differ from these shapes made
for grown people. in the matter of
size. The bell-shaped hat appears to
be covered with silk, but would be
just as effective in a braid It is cov-
cred with rows of fine-meshed lace,
alternating with motifs in flower
forms made of braid. The petals of
each motif is filled with figured
net.
A wreath Of small ribbon roses, set
in millinery foliage and showing more
buds than blossoms. is divided and
placed part on the UPPER right brim
and the under left brim. The design
is particularly good for girls who wear
curls. White is the color chosen in
this modal, but any pale tint is pretty.

A light blue braid of straw covers

of ribbon in slightly darker shade
of blue, is laid about the base Of the
crown, finished with fiat rosette at
the front, made of the same petals.
A short, fluffy, made quill in dark
and iridescent feathers is posed at
the left front of the hat, and may be
dispensed with when the hat is made
for very young girl. The same de-
sign is pretty with small flowers set
in the ribbon band at intervals or with
four rosettes like that at the front,
dividing the band into four lengths.
These little shapes stay on we'll

Wide-brimmed Leghorns and other
straws are never out of fashion and
probably never will be. Lace bonnets
with simple outlines and fluffy lace
hats are worn every year. The lingerie
hats made Of embroideries and Of

simple, youthful fashion. The time

signers of millinery have this season
made for her.

It was known to the Shetfields, the
Durhams, the Chattertons and all
other country families for five miles
around that the little farm known as
Roselands had been sold to some ont+
in the city, but the name of the buyer
had not TRANSFERRED. Roselands had
been owned and occupied by an old
recluse for years. His hobby was
growing roses, but he would never
sell or give one away. They simply
budded, bloomed and faded.

Roselands had stopped and tried to
melt the old mans heart, but it was
in vain. Had she been red-headed
and cross-eyed, and had big mouth
and nose tilted up at the end, he
could not have been more surly with
her. Neither praise, flattery, smiles
or cash would melt him. Red roses
