EOR a number of years at the be-
ginning of each season hats with
high crowns have made an attempt to
win the approval of fashionable
women, but with only the most linn
tied success. Nevertheless, although
the very lofty hat has been persist
emily frowned upon, crowns have just
as persistently been adding little by
little to their altitude until now the
one that would not so very long ago
have been considered extremely high
is taken as a matter of course.
Still, there are hats shown that
strike even the eye somewhat accus-
toned to height as being decidedly
freakish, and from this 1t may be
inferred that the makers of the modes
/. intend to encourage the progress up
ward yet further. The most startling
models have crowns hat taper to a
point at the top and run we'll toward
a foot in height. Starting with a hat
of this kind. one may follow different
methods of procedure. Most women
are likely to prefer that of bending the
point of the crown down and fastening
1t at one side with any decorations
that are to be used, but this Is by no
means obligatory. The hat may not
only be allowed to retain all the glory
of its natural elevation, but this may
be added to by trimmings that soar

again, and I've got something to say
to the boys and girls of New Jersey.
You may think it a long time to Chris

I'll have a choice line Of dolls and
toys for this Christmas. and I want
every child to have time to make a
selection.
I've been so badly rushed the last few
years | haven't been able to make my
dolls in my own factory up here in
Toyland. I've had to get help from
Germany.
The little town of S~onneberg, in
Meiningen, southeast of Leipzig, is
where the dolls come from now. 1t isn't
more than seventy-fve miles across,
and nearly everybody in 1t spends all
his time making dolls.

old methods, too. My dolls used to be

will be lots of fun. The child who gets
one can fill the bathtub and put the
doll in. 1t will float. and won't be hurt
a bit.

The Same Old Case.

My Dear Miss Poynter:
I am a young girl of 10 years n
have known a young man two years my
senior for the last two years. He has
been calling on me twice a week for
the last six months He did not call
last month and gave no reason for his
absence. AS we were good congenial
friends. based on true friendship, l am
lost what to do. Ought he not to give
his reason even If he was tired of my
society? He has quite often dined
with us, and 1 received many boxes of
candy n flowers. I often see him
going to business, but l just bid the
time to him. 1 lost my sister three
months ago and he was very good to
me at the time of her death. He has
been a good friend to me, and, now,
Miss Poynter, can you advise me?
MAY.
1 can understand that the loss of this
mans friendship worries you especi-
ally as you cannot account for it. 1t
certainly would have been much more
gentlemanly of him to have given a
reason for his absence. but since he
has not done SO 1 don't see any way
for you to request an explanation. 1t

A SMART SUIT OF BLUE
SERGE.


Blue serge is a pronounced favorite
for tailored suits. One of the new
fancies is to trim it with white cloth.
and this costume shows the collar and
cuffs of that material finished with a
little black soutache, while black SOU
tache Is also used on coat and skirt.
The combination Is new and fashion,
able. The suit is cut on the latest and
most approved lines. Altogether, the
costume makes an excellent model.
The sailor collar finishing the short
cutaway coat is new and very gener-
ally becoming. The four-gored skirt,
with the side cores cut in sections to
give a trimming effect, is one of the
attractive model well could be found,
but 1t can be varied and treated in
such ways as to produce quite a diff
ferent result. Many ome do not
find the big collar at the back becoming
and in it's stead can be used the
narrow collar with pointed revers. The
trimming portions on the front and
back cores of the skirt can be omitted,
or could be made from contrasting
material. Velvet trimmings are to be
used with the later season n the COL
lar and cuffs of velvet, with the pieces
on the front and back cores of the
skirt omitted, would combine to make
a costume quite as smart yet dis
tinctly unlike the one shown.
For a m of medium size the
coat will require Az yards of material
81, az yards SO or Pa yards A inches
wide with u yard q for the collar
and cuffs; for the skirt will be needed
I yards 81, 5As yards SO or 3% yards
