The wreath of buds Gid foliage
about the crown at the base is all that
is needed to complete the hat.
A leghorn in Fig. shows the under
brim covered to within an inch and q
half of the edge with a dotted net in
pale blue. A big pulled crown Of the
net is draped over a wreath of by
drangeas, which grows wider at
the back, where it climbs to the top
of the crown. Very little of the upper
brim is visible and the crown Of this
hat is almost wholly concealed. On
the crown the net Is draped over plain
chiffon a trifie lighter in tone than

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass:

one day by mistake.

that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning 1 prepared some of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
at was an immediate success in my
family, and from that day we have
used 1t constantly, parents and chill
dren, too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink it freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think it
delicious, and 1 would have a mutiny
on my hands should I omit the be-
loved beverage.
"My husband used to have a very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily I wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee topper, and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against it at
first, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she Is

II ACES and nets are more generally
used in making hats for mid
summer than for many seasons
past. They are fine for remodeling
shapes that have been worn but are
available for second or third season,
as leghorns and milans. If the used
shape Is discolored or not In perfect
repairs, ruffies of lace, sewed one row
above another, may easily cover the
upper brim entirely. With a crown of
net draped over a thin silk for the
top, no part of the original shape is
visible except the under brim. Such
hat is shown in Fig. 1. The lace is
German val pattern and is knife
plated, making ruff1es a little less
than two inches wide. These are slip
stitched to the brim.
