WHY HE ADMIRES GREAT MEN
Small Boy Learns Something Easily
About Washington and Lincoln
and Gets Holiday Besides,

The two latest holidays-the birth
days Of Abraham Lincoln and George
Washington-have given the youth Of
the country much information about
those two great men. At all the pub
lie schools there were exercises in
honor Of each and at some there were
tableaux of some of the events Of
their lives. One small boy who spoke
about the tableaux was asked whether
he learned much history at the ex-
ercises.
Sure" he replied. ION Lincoln's
birthday we learned all he did. Say,
he was shot in a noppery-house BY q
man called-now-Wilkes Booth. We
learned lot more about him, too. It's
more interestin' hearin' the others
speak than readin' 1t yourself, an
yer remember better. Yestday we
learned all about Washington. guess
I know all he ever did"
do you look forward to the en-
ercises?" he was asked.

shaped as shown In the illustration
for the head-band. Cut the brim and
hsad.band again In buckram, making
the buckram pieces just shade small
er than the material ones. Cut out q
wedge at the back Of the buckram
brim. and draw the open edges to.
gether by long herrlig-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 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. /. 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 its 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 II upright.
Gather the crown round its edge, and
draw 1t 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 1t 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
a piece of elastic, which passes under
the chin and holds that hat In place.

Here are some OF the problems
which are expected to confront the
new court:
Nagging wives.
Brutal husbands.
Mothers-in-law.
The servant question.
Women's clubs.

Suffragists.
Both Judge and prosecutor agreed
that they had some busy times ahead
Of them.
