upon small decorations, also made of
crepe, to complete them. Almost all
the best models In mourning hats en-
ploy nothing but crepe in their trim
ming. The popularity Of stick-up eff
tects gave the millinery an opportu-
nifty to copy all sorts Of millinery
as wings, bows, cabochons
and other ornaments, making them up
of crepe folds or cords or plaitings.
The exact and beautiful workmanship
and the ingenious designs have result
ed in the most elegant and attractive
crepe hats ever shown.
The mourning hat made of silk
grenadine and other special weaves of
silk are covered quite smoothly and
decorated with bands of crepe shaped
to fit about the crown. These are also
finished with a trimming made of
crepe, as shown in Fig. 1. Crepe is
one of the few fabrics which is
equally good In the body of hat and
in its decoration. 1t is more used in
the composition of mourning gowns
and wraps than ever before. Here it
is applied in shaped borders, panels
and applique designs. Very rarely
whole gowns are made of it, but there
are numbers Of beautiful blouses made
all of crepe, or Of crepe combined
with other fabrics.

There are many ways of making
bubbles. For instance. smoke may be
blown through the pipe into the bub.
bles or one bubble may be blown
inside of another. Very large bub-
bles can be made by using the hands
instead of a pipe. Cover the hands
well with suds and then hold them
so as to form cup, as IL drinking
with the hands from a spring. but
leaving a small hole in the bottom.
With the mouth about foot from the
hands, blow current of air into
them. Some of the bubbles will be
more than foot in diameter. Try
this experiment the next time you
wash your hands.

INTEREST IN SOAP BUBBLES
Those Made Of Soap Water to Which
Glycerine Has Been Added
Are Quite Attractive.

Have you ever stopped to think
what really interesting thing a soap
bubble Is? Soap bubbles are not only
interesting to boys and girls. but they
have long been a source of wonder
and interest to men OF science. In
fact, scientists have employed soap
bubbles In trying to perform certain
experiments.
A soap bubble is nothing more than
a film of water molecules (tiny par
ticles that cannot be seen with the
naked eye), held together by the
sticking power of dissolved soap AS
most all Of us know, in making bub.
bles the bowl of a common clay pipe
is dipped into soapy water. The bub.
BILE maker blows air INTO the pipe
and the bubble at once expands.

water are interesting. those made of

INTERESTING LORE OF HAND
Few Men Can Tell tho Truth While
Their Hands Remain Open
Some Signs and Symbols.

men can lie with their hands open.

Strong willed persons hold their
thumbs outside when shutting their
hands.
Shaking hands in greeting was orig
inally an evidence that each person
was unarmed.
Among savage tribes when a man
holds up hands It is a sign of peace,
an evidence that he is unarmed or
does not intend to use weapons. An
