VEERE is very nice idea for a
n child's plain hat-one that would
be exceedingly useful for school
or morning wear and would stand a
great deal of knocking about. If you
are making the grille a set of little
linen or cotton dresses for the com
Ing summer, you could not do better
than save the cuttings from them, and
let her have a hat to match each
dress. The cost of them will be prac-
tically nothing, and she will be sure
to look nice when her hat and dress
go with" one another. 1t may be
made up in any size, taking measures
from a hat that fits.
The Materials: Almost any fairly
stout fabric is suitable for this hat
silk, satin, velvet, cloth, linen, case
meRt cloth or galatea. You will also
need a yard of buckram for each hat
white or black, according to the
color of the material-and 1 " yard of
ribbon to make the bow which trims
the front If you want to be very
economical. you can make the bow
from one-half yard of fiowered muslin.
wiring it all round the edge, SO that it
stands up smartly.
The Cutting: Double the material.
Cut from a double circle, from 13 to
IA inches across, according to the size
of brim you want. Cut out small
triangular shaped wedge at the back
of the brim (see No. -, bring the cut
edges together, scanning them neatly
on the wrong side. Now take one of
the child's old hats, and measure
across the place where the crown and
brim join, laying your tape inside the
hat, Just at the point where the lining
is stitched in. Take a pair of COM
passes, set 1t up exactly In the center
of the cut material, and trace with 1t:
First, one circle according with the
measurements of the old hat; second.
one circle 1h inch further towards
the edge of the material. Now cut a
circle of single material measuring IA
to 16 inches across for the crown, and

Wide Variety, and Styles Show Many
Changes From Those That Have
Been Worn.

Cuban heels thinned down a bit
from the more substantial heels OF
season ago, distinguish all street foot
wear of the ultra sort, while heels OF
early French periods, with upward
turning toes, are the preferred sort
for the dress slipper.
In contrast to the checked-topped
shoes there are to be seen occasional
spats of white or castor color worn
over black or brown shoes, or over
those of antelope-finished calf, which
is a more practical walking shoe than
the patent-vamp article.
In summer ties there are also ex-
amples of cloth and leather combina,
tions and those in which suede and
polished leather are combined. In
dress slippers there are most expen-
sive trifies in lace and in cut-work
over pale-toned silks or satins.-Har'

shaped as shown in the illustration
for the head-band. Cut the brim and
head-band again in buckram. making
the buckram pieces just shade small
er than the material ones. Cut out a
wedge at the back of the buckram
brim, and draw the open edges to-
gether by long herring-bone stitches.
This will make the brim turn down
into mushroom shape.
The Making: Lay the two parts of
the brim together with their right
sides touching Seam them together
at the wrong side. Cut away all the
material that is enclosed in the small
er circle. Turn the brim to the right
side. Slip into 1t the buckram. and
hold all together by a double row of
machine stitching round the edge.
Now take a pair of sharp scissors, and
split up the inner edge of the brim
to the line of the second circle, as
shown in the illustration No. l. Bend
back the split pieces, SO that they
stand up, and the brim turns down
over the child's face. Join the double
headband over the buckram, so that
the stiffening is hidden between folds
of material Pin this upright on the
brim, so that it's lower edge rests on
the line of the second circle. and the
split pieces are all inside the band.
Sew the band very firmly to the split
pieces. so that they hold it upright.
Gather the crown round its edge, and
draw it up to fit round the head-band
at the place where the band joins the
brim Pull the fulness into pretty
folds, and then sew down the crown
very firmly all round. SO that. from
the outside, the head-band cannot be
seen at all.
Fold a piece of ribbon round the
hat, to hide the join of the crown and
brim. and finish it with large bow at
the front.
Line the hat with sarcenet or thin
silk. Draw up the lining with a mar
row string inside the crown. Sew on
piece of elastic, which passes under
the chin and holds that hat in place.

The competition among the pupils OF
the public schools of the District for

1t was from Superintendent David

school children should broaden their
minds by a close reading of the news
of the day. Taking up the suggestion
The Times offered eight prizes, the
winners of which are announced today
1t is an encouraging sign that there
should have been so many contestants
and that they should have displayed
such exceptional grasp of the affairs

columns of The Times.
We feel sure that the impetus which

Anne Warner says she didn't say it,

keen sense of humor to be making
any serious comparisons between the
American woman and her English sis
ters, to the detriment of the former,
or to be parroting the bromides of ex-
patriates about the crudeness of
America.
There are strong indications that

THE EVOLVED CAUCASIAN
AND HIS SOCIAL SYSTEM
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

While the Caucasian's present evolu-
uonal stage requires him to be well
trained. his present social system pre-
vents that consummation. The differ
cnce between the stage and the system
is the degree Of the retardation OF the
race, while any lessening of this differ
ence Is its progress. BY investigation
we can learn the source of the system
and what 1t is that prevents orderly
progress.
For ages past 1t has been necessary
for the Caucasian to live in some OF
governmental or social system. In a
rude and ignorant age of despotism is
the only system possible, and It comes
somewhat similar species of monkey an
only male is lord to a band of females.
When a son Is born the father is usual
ly prompt in killing 1t. At last a young
male escapes such death, and he, in his
turn. dominates a simian harem. While
tho human despot does not himself kill
his own sons, yet his successor among
them often kills the others. Nor is IL
him. For the power is often usurped by
an outsider. There is precious little diff
ference between the spirit Of the brother
killing despot aid that OF the son-kill-
Ing monkey.
In a despotism these great differences
IN the powers of its members, and the
respective ree1ngs that these diner
ences engender are those Of jeal-
ousy and envy. There is little enight-
eminent, little sympathy, little cooper
ation., little progress. What little prog
ress there is is largely due to envy. BY
it's Indictment to action envy has caused
dethronements. and there has rarely
been dethronement that did not cor
rect some abuse. But such progress is
violent and disorderly. and 1t does very
little good. One of the most widely

EXPECTANT YOUTH MAKES
READY FOR HALLOWEEN.

The exuberance of youth is prepar-
ing to slip its leash. The blood of our
Saxon ancestors will reassert itself in
the mad revels of Halloween. The
"mirth and ancient jollity'' immemori-
ally associated with the eve of All
Saints is stirring for expression in the
active heart and brain of childhood,
and the children of larger growth are
finding themselves responsive to the
glad contagion.
The calendar is full of these happy
festivals drawn from paganism and en-
grated upon Christianity without los
ing many of their primitive character
istics, but in the northern latitudes
as distinguished from the Latin coun.
tries, it is the celebrations centerine
about the hearthstone which make the
strongest appeal. This is the first Of
the series, to be followed-after om
native Thanksgiving-by the Yule
tide and the robust Joy of New Yea
and Twelfth Night.
But Halloween stands apart, will
pranks and charms and make believ,
superstitions all it's own. 1t comes
when the mid autumn month is draw
ing to a close. Even the doubtful
glory of Indian summer has given plac'
to the eager and nipping air whicl
heralds the approach of winter an,
paints the woods and fields with chro
matte splendor. 1t is one of the breath
ing spaces of the year, when the fruit
full soil has yielded its abundant wealtl

temptation of its own productiveness

Of It's sports and pastimes. The di-
versions enumerated in the immortal
poem of 'Bobbie Burns, which is an
accepted repository of authentic infor-

were when he copied them from life
in the Land O. Cakes and gave them
an enduring charm. The deeply human
desire to look into the future and an

same expression today that it did when

his impress upon the night, and happy

Door bells ring at the touch of unseen
hands which superstition, if it chooses,
may attribute to eerie spirits which
have come to revisit us by the pale
glimpses of the moon. Mock terrors
are abroad and innocent hedges hall

spirits of the dead who have burst
their cerements. It is night of joyous
