He had a mans stern work to do out

keenness of eye affected. by any

his fingers gripping the rein, he drove
all regretful memory from his mind,
until every nerve within him throbbed
in unison with his present purpose.
He was right; he knew he was right

The hours passed. the sun rising
higher in the blazing blue of the sky;
the horse. wearied by the constant
pull of the sand, had long since slowed
down to a walk; the last dim blur of
the cottonwoods along the Fork had
disappeared; and the rider swayed in
the saddle, the dead lifelessness of
sky and desert dulling his brain. Yet
he had not forgotten his errand-rous-
ing constantly from lethargy to sweep
his shaded eyes about the rounded
horizon, keenly marking the slightest
shadow across the sands. taking ad-
vantage of every drift to give him

erly. These points are so well taken
care of by artists in millinery that
even the simplest-seeming hats are
really amazingly well thought out and
adapted to their wearers.
The lines of the Dutch bonnet, the
dear Wilhelmina, have been managed
in all sorts of ways. A pretty adapta-
ton is shown here, having a crown
of purple v1olets and brim covered
with purple velvet. A similar hat, IN
soft hemp, shows decided point at
the front and small, rather pointed
crown, which would be Insignificant
except for two ears of silk perched at
the front. The shape in navy blue
had a wide flange of velvet In the
same color and the loops. or ears
were of taffeta silk, also in plain navy
blue of a rather bright shade.
A hood of turcan laid over cap
shape, covered with black silk, is also
an unusually clever development OF
simple lines and handsome materials.
The rolled-up brim is covered with
two folds of black satin and bow OF
ribbon in black satin finishes band
which apparently holds the point OF
the hood in place at the back.
The liking for quaint shirrings,
ouillings and ruchings came in with
the return of fabrics with which they
were used almost a half century ago.
A shirred band of changeable taffeta
finishes the soft straw bonnet shape
shown here. Two rosettes OF the tat
feta look like big. full-blown roses;
they are placed at each side OF the
brim. A short broad plume, in the
colorings of the silk. finishes the hat.
The hats shown in the Illustrations
are very practical models. Although
each hat, it must be conceded, is chic

Suit Skirts for Spring.

Seldom has there been a season
when so many fancy trimmed suit
skirts were shown as this spring, says
the Dry Goods Economist. This is
due to the vogue for the demi-tailor
made, which calls for skirt to cor
respond. The newest idea in the mar
ket at present is the draped skirt.

class suits of soft materials, such as
chiffon, taffeta and charmeuse. There
are a few models of this kind now In
the market and many more are in
course of construction.

should invest in one of these sensible

Sandals for Small Children.

If children wear sandals until they
are three or four years old, they will
have natural-shaped foot, strong,
ankle muscles and will stand and walk
properly We are all taught to point
the toes out when walking. This. how
ever, is an unnatural position, and
only adds a greater strain on the in
side muscles ofaankle and foot, caus-
ing. in many IS, weak ankles and
other foot trou es. Let the toes
point straight in 'front.' when standing
or walking, allow the feet to have
plenty of room to grow. select broad

ankles, thus lessening the danger of
corns, bunions and all other foot trou-
bleS.
