bow OF ribbon matching the shade OF
your suit and beach cloak. or you may
have the Russian peasant girls cap
unless you prefer the Norway woman's
headdress or the equally elaborate one
worn by the maiden Of Holland. The
shape OF these caps perfectly suits the
Teutonio type OF beauty. but they do
not accord well with Latin features
and for girls OF that strain OF blood
there is no prettier model in bathing
caps than the italian kerchief OF brill
liantly striped wash silk or the turban
OF the masculine Turk, which is also a
large handkerchief

IMPORTANCE OF BACK VIEWS

II Is important that a girl should
never buy a hat by merely seeing her
face beneath it. Viewed so It may suit
her. but what Of the back? For ex-
ample. crowds Of girls wear big hats
which fall over their shoulders and
completely hide the neck. The back
view in such a case IS absolutely lu-
dicrous. Small hats and toques have
a reverse habit unless carefully cho-
sen and put on we'll Many a toque
presents a bird-like appearance at the
back. showing a gaping void between
hair and hat. Whenever a woman
wears small hat she should be quite
sure that people behind can see she
has a hat on and that her hair is dress

the good appearance OF the hat

be content with an attractive frontal

some collars. use tiny gilt or gold ones
and fasten them in such a way as not
to strike a note of untidy discord
When pins are not necessary women
should provide all their collars and
neckwear with proper fastenings put
on in the proper places. The latter is
important. Unless the fastenings are
in the right places on a collar there will
either be irritating gaps between them
or the collar will fall crooked and the
whole back effect be altogether
wretched
The same thing applies TO blouses
which fasten down the back. Many a
woman's blouse. otherwise charming

"trihes light as air" which this season
are more alluring than ever. Take the
matter Of footwear for instance. There
are three styles that lead this summer.
all of which are to be seen in the foot
wear illustration. First comes the trim
buttoned boot Of white buckskin which
is worn with white serge. mohair and
linen and with the summery frocks II
desired. In the center Of the group is
the new buttoned oxford. a dressy little
shoe which makes the foot and ankle
look especially graceful and which has
TO a large extent supplanted the laced
oxford tie. The colonial pump. with its
high tongue, trim. straight heel and
metal buckle across the front. is liked
with piazza and house frocks. but is
not as fashionable for the street as the
buttoned boot or oxford.
Fascinating things in the boa line
appeared in the accessories sent over
from Paris the past spring, and as the
days go by these bewitching little nov
elites have become more and more at

SATURDAY EVENING CLUB
AT FIVE-MILE BAYOU
Special to The journal.

Five Mile Bayou Sept. 13.-The Sat
urday Evening Club met at Mrs. Ben
nets place, THE Hows," Saturday,
September 7th.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Miss Sara Elce, and
important business transacted
We had hoped to avoid anything in
the nature of formalities but found 1t
necessary to have some rules and reg
ulations.
A few motions were made for the flu
ture welfare of the club, and were
adopted with no dissenting voice.
Among other business, it was de-
cided to read up on parliamentary
usage, and as several of the club mem
bers are also members of the Woman's
Republic, the books necessary for said
study issued by the Republic, will be
used at first.
The members of the club requested
the secretary to date all future reports
sent to The Journal from Five Mile
as the members reside on the shores of
that beautiful body of water.
A discussion of books read since
last meeting, some opinions Of the po-
litical situation, an exchange of ex-
periences of fruit and garden, some
talk of future plans was interrupted by
a call to lunch.
The menu was as follows:
Chicken Sandwiches
Cake
Snow Pudding
Cocoa.
Everything was delicious and daintily
served, geraniums and hibiscus were
used to decorate and were presented
by Mrs. Kate Hopper.
The club will meet September 2ist
at Mrs. Kate Hopper's on Five Mile.
Mrs. Cameron will move this fall to
Five-Mile, where Mr.. Cameron expects
to put in a fruit orchard and go into
the business of growing fine fruit for
the market.
