NEW FEATURE IN MILLINERY
Summary of Points About the Styles
That 1t Will Be Well to Keep
Always in Mind,

To sum up this seasons new mil
linery features, we want to remember
that the head sizes are large; that the
hats set well down on the head; that
the crowns are moderately high; that
the tailored hats are small, the dress
hats large; that everywhere there is
irreguIarity of brim and crown; and
that the smartest hats have but lit
tie trimming and are in combination
effect
A buckle, for example, covered with
fur will give a smart touch to vel
vet or satin hat, and just think how
little fur is needed. A few scraps of
satin can be shaped into wings and fin
tshed with an embroidery stitch, and
thus make a new style trimming for
a last years hat. And then, too, the
idea of having the crown and brim Of
the hat of contrasting materials is
helpful to the woman who wishes to
remodel the hat she wore last year.

Hope of Becoming MiIIionaires About

Prof Warren n. BeidIer Of Bethel,
Pa. in a recent address made the
striking assertion that the American
people, mOney-mad, taught their chill
dren how to earn a living, but not
how to live.
There is no viler, and there is no
vainer ambition said Professor Beid-
Ter to a reporter, than that OF the
American boy to become a millionaire.
What percentage of our boys do be
come milliOnaires? 1t would take a
good many decimals to work that out,
believe me-
The boy who sets his heart on a
million fares likes the washerwoman
who set her heart on cross-eyed aero
naut.

aeronaut last week?" said a friend.
Yes, did, replied the washer
woman, as she rocked back and forth
over her tub. YES, 1 married him,
and gave him $500 out of my buiIdin'
association to start an airship fac
