straw may cause masculine
heads to be covered next sum-
mer with hats of felt or papier mache.
but women will be put to no inconven-
fence by this act OF destruction If
they cannot have straw hats they will
be equally well pleased to don dainty
headgear Of taffeta silk or lace. and.
as a matter of fact. taffeta is so ex-
tremely the mode in millinery that in
comparison an ordinary straw chapeau
has only moderate distinction
Every hat that comes out Of Paris
these days Of promise and prophecy
seems to have taffeta somewhere in its
makeup. Either its crown is of taffeta.
or its lining or its trimming. or it may
be composed entirely of the lustrous
silk. The new taffetas. however. are
not the stiff. unyielding fabric OF old

OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE

ONE OF the .conveniences Of a living
room which one wonders was not
thought of long ago is a couple Of three
cornered tables. each Of which fits into
corner when not in use and which
put together make a perfect square OF
generous size.
Ammonia shaken around In the vine
gar or oil cruet will remove its stains
Kerosene cleans the enameled sink
better than anything else
Not every housekeeper knows that
when a room has been newly painted
and the smell has become intolerable
the odor may be removed by leaving IN
the room overnight a pailful Of water
with four raw sliced onions in It. These
two notable absorbents will do the
work.

A N ideal method to promote the pow

engaging them IN simple and amusing
paatimes designed for this purpose
There are numberiess ways their minds
may be taught TO make use Of objects

daily. For instance. let them count tho
number OF dogs they see on the street
one child taking the right side and an
other taking the left side. including all
Of tho streets and lanes turning out
from that side. This may be enlarged
upon by having certain colored dogs
count more than others. thus giving
chance for more rapid scores. Dogs
are only one way Of amusing the small
