DAINTY NEW HATS MADE
OF sUMMERY TULLE

Tulle hats have already made their ap-
pearance in the shops. and so dainty and
charming are these lightweight toques
that it is hard for any woman to resist
their attractions.
The most remarkable things are being
fashioned of tulle piled high and very
light over an invisible wire frame, and
finally trailed over. veritably trellised.
with flowers.
A model OF this sort was seen, which
was effected in geranium colored tulle
and trailed over the left side with. ge-
raniums and foliage. A touch Of vel
vet was introduced in the form OF two
velvet loops placed just In front.

Crib Blankets.

Blankets for babies cribs are made in
the most perfect of colorings, but even
more Fascinating are the designs in q
contrasting color.
On blue border are rabbits in their
own soft and fluffy Wilderness. Ducks in
a row are delight TO children, and
the cock that crows in the morn is
exactly where he belongs.
Scotch plaid in bands borders many a
richly colored blanket, the Victoria
plaid being most in evidence.
Silk ribbon bindings on these best Of
blankets are perfect match for the pre-
vailing color in border or center.

HIGH SHOES WILL BE
WORN THIS SUMMER

1t is quite seriously suggested that high
boots will be worn in summer. but this
can apply only to white, for bl4ck or
brown leather boots are much too hot
and uncomfortable TO be really tolerated
for summer wear.
In any case. preparation has been made
for the continued popularity of the
pump" shoe, and though even last sum-
mer this became very common. 1t is not
expected that the well-dressed woman
will reject its comfortable neatness be-
cause 1t has become So common.

Feathers on Hats.

Feathers are being used profusely in
spring millinery. some OF which is
original if not exactly beautiful. The
new ostrich feather is clipped to pro-
vide change after many seasons Of
pleureuse variety.
But Of the two monstrosities the
pleureuse feather, with it's artifciaIly
heightened fronds, was infinitely more
graceful than the stubby, mutilated af-
fair which threatens to take its place.

BIG GRAPE CROP.
Vineyards In This Vicinity Are Loaded
With Fruit.


With Fruit.
Unless hail or some other unfore-
seen enemy arrives before the last of
August or the first of September, West
Virginia vineyards. and especially
those in this section will produce the
biggest crop of grapes in years. Prac-
tically every grape vine in this vicin-
ity is overloaded with fruit and the
lunches are very large and closely
healthy condition.
Although grape culture has never
been carried on to any considerable
extent in this county there are several
vineyards and many new ones have
been set out in the last two years as
the farmers have come to realize that
there is money in the business In
the northern end of the county several
people have began the scientific cul-
ture of grapes and indications are that
the majority of the county's supply
will come from that section. The dry
rot which has been most disastrous
to grapes in this section. can be pre-
vented by spraying, and many persons
in this vicinity took that precaution
