Spring Millinery Shows
Odd and Artistic Lines

Women are able to get view of adj
vanced spring millinery even at this
early date. for all the shops are, showing
straws in great profusion. The big hat
and the little hat, the toque and the
cap, are making a bid side by side for
feminine favor.
Among the small designs there are some
of the quaintest shapes imaginable with
dainty little trimmings. while the picture
hats represent the last word in smart
ness, with their waving plumes and bold
~ turned up brims.
The novelty of the season in picture
hats in two-sided model. Made in black
pedal straw on one side and soft French
blue silk on the other, the hat is trim
med with a plumage mount which stands
up from, the center of the dome-shaped
crown. The large brim, in graceful line
slightly dropping all the way round. has
a two-sided lining to match the top of
the hat.
Nearly all the large models are in
black straw, with black or white feathers
but there is a new wine shade which is
very artistic. In one hat of this color
ing, made in four-corner style slightly
rolled back, the willow plumes which
form the trimming are in exactly the
same shade as the straw. An old color
which has been revived for the spring Is
putty, a hat in this tone being trimmed
with ostrich plumes.
Among the new trimmings for the pic
ture hat of black coloring there is q
snow-white ostrich feather ruching ap.
piled to the hat as a brim lining. TIC
complete the model which illustrates this
fashion there is Prince of Wales
feather effect up the front of the hat
The brim is arranged in tam-o'-shanter
effect, turned boldly up from the side.
Ostrich plumes have taken on great
length of late. Yards of these feathers
are used on some of the large hats
swathing and -wreathing the wide brims
on the edges under the straw and again
appearing on the top, soaring high above
the head.

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Into the lives of all of us there seem
from morn till noon. from noon till
dewy eve in more prosaic words. all
day long, seems to happen exactly wrong
We go from one mistake and mishap and
Illustration to another and evening finds
us at the last, cross and weary and dis
appointed with our day.
We have an old saying to account for
such days. 1t is. Il must have gotten
out of the wrong side of the bed" !
wonder if there isn't more truth than
we realize in that homely expression. l
wonder il the whole trouble is not that
We somehow start wrong, and the only
cure is to stop right still and start all
over again-right.
Surely you have noticed that when you
try to walk across a dark room, IL you
don't start just right and collide with
some object. you are sure to lose your
sense of direction and collide with a
dozen before you reach your goal. The
only thing to do is to stop, get your
bearings and your temper, wait a minute
and then start again-right.
If l am writing on the typewriter and
make one mistake. / am sure to follow
1t up with half a dozen II l 60 on at the
came pace. l have found, and l fancy
other typists must have also discovered.
that the only way to get going right is
to stop a minute, calm down and start
again-right.
II a singer finds herself very much off
the key. it is pretty hard to drop or rise
to the right key The safer, surer way is
to stop. go back to the beginning and
start again-right.
Now it seems to me that these days
when everything goes dead wrong are
simply times when somehow or other we
have gotten off he key of right living,
out Of tune with the universe, and that
it is useless to try to jump back to the
right Key The only sure way to get In
tune again is to stop short, go back to
the beginning and begin again-right.
You remind me that owing to the fact
that time has a disagreeable prejudice
to turning backward in it's fight for any
one whomsOever, this would be a rather
difficult process? Well, / didn't mean
it quite so literally. I just meant to
drop out of the busy hum Of life for a
few moments, be by yourself and relax.
If your time is Your own, read some
peaceful book for little while, or go
for solitary walk. At any rate. sit still
for few minutes and just try to get
hold of yourself, IL you know what thai
on the right key in tune with the uni
verse.
II you can learn to do this, 1 promise
you that many times when you have
gotten out of bed on quite the wrong
side" you shall still overcome that mis-
take, and evening shall not find you
cross and weary and disappointed, but
at peace with yourself and even very
happy at having conquered failure and
snatched victory from the jaws Of de-
feat.
