At an early hour there was nothing

Wells Match Hats.

Plain hexagons of rather heavy
mesh, dotted and fancy fine meshes
and the familiar cobweb or shadow
designs in veilings should not be over
looked by the shopper who needs
smart finish for her runabout tailored
suit of serge or a smart mixture suit
and a simple, natty hat. The veil
should be as nearly as possible the
shade of the hats brim and its trim
mings, and in this instance not an
elaborate detail of the costume. Lace
wells, on the contrary, may be made
a prominent feature of the afternoons
reception costume with which they
are usually worn and the wisest
choice in these is a black and white
chantilly. For motoring the newest
and smartest thing in veilings is chif-
fon, with an embroidered border done
in woods of contrasting color like
green on navy, brown on tan or black
on purple.

CURTAINS IN THE BEDROOM
Economy May Be Combined With
Good Taste in the Manner De-
scribed in This Article.

In making curtains for the bedroom
windows you can economic in ma
terial by selecting swiss or scrim the
width Of the window. Now measure
off the length you desire the curtains
and cut the material from corner to
corner on the bias. In other words,
cut from the lower left-hand corner to
the upper right-hand corner.
To this bias edge apply ruffie
either of the material or of coarse
lace.
Finish the joining seam neatly by
stitching a strip of featherstitched
braid or narrow bias fold over the
ruffle and seam edge.
Now finish the broad straight edge
az the top with a hem and narrow
casing, through which is run tape
the length of the width of the window.
The curtains are then shirred over
the tape or small brass rods and at
tached to the windows.
Drape them to each side of the win
dow with ribbons or cotton cords,
and you will have pair of very good
looking curtains, made from the guam
tity of material generally employed
in making one curtain.
