Aigrettes of Wheat
For Humanitarians

No one seems to- be able to explain
why fashion is leaving the enormous
aigrettes of white and black. which
have been with us so long. unless 1t
is a laggard desire to be humani-
tartan. The restriction thrown
around birds by the laws OF the
States, and the difficulty and cost Of
getting aigrettes, has given many
milliners a good reason not to carry
them in stock. The expense OF buy
ing one is the best reason for their
unpopularity.
The miIliners, liking the effect OF
the aigrette, have determined to use
many other materials to take its
place. therefore the new hats are
trimmed with silken wheat in the
form of an aigrette. Some Of 1t Is in
the natural color, and a great deal
of it is dyed to match the hats or
frocks.
One sees much blue and green and
purple. The green Is the most popu-
lar for summer use, as II Is refresh
inRly cool.

VIII you please tell me at your earliest
convenience. an answer to the following:
Mr.. Jones and Miss Smith are taking a
ride down the river. Two young men they
both know well are on the same boat. and
meet with them. They are asked to take
entire trip. except about twenty minutes. Do
they transgress the rules OF etiquette by 50
doing? Should they not have remained a
while, and then excused themselves. Does
the fact that we all knew each other well
give them the privilege Of the entire trip?
W. T. ].
The young men certainly did trans
gress a rule Of hospitality by remaining
with Miss Smith and Mr.. Jones during
the entire trip. They should have spent
few minutes with them, then excused
themselves, perhaps hunting them up
later in the evening.

Wide Demand Now
For Repousse Lace

Ali the new laces that have a heavy
raised design on a net foundation are
now called repousse. There is a wide
demand for this sort of lace work, al
though it differs from filet, and the &C.
cIesiastical laces are also In favor.
There never was a season like this one
for lace, anyway. Whole rooms are
given over to 1t in some Of the big
Shops, and machine-made and hand
made kinds vie with each other IN
beauty and dignity:
Almost every kind Of lace the world
has known has been revived. No gown
or simple coat suit seems complete with
out the addition Of some pattern. The
huge revolutionary revers are made of
marvellous meshes, sailor collars are cut
from pieces of square laces that have
figures of all sorts woven In the net.
and stocks and chemisettes are made
from the fine French laces that have
been revived this summer.

~ LID Witch Bclak was a famous
4 old witch, and lived in the
queerest cave that you ever
heard of, for there were sew
en- doors to IT.. and every door was
guarded. The first door was guarded
by a dog, the second by a serpent, the
third by a cat, the fourth by a goose,
the NTH by q fox, the sixth by an
eagle, and the seventh the old witch
guarded herself The reason Witch
Rolak chose these to guard her was
that the dog was fierce, the serpent
was stealthy, the goose was noisy.
the fox was wise, the eagle was
watchful. and the old witch herself
was all of these things combined.
Her cave was divided into seven
rooms. In the first there was the
branch Of tree. in the second a stone,
In the third a piece Of rope. in the
fourth sword, in the fifth a bucket
Of water, and in the sixth a vial of
poison, and In the seventh the old
witch was said to have untold wealth,
