SUGGESTION FOR STRAW HAT
Effective Trimming That Might We'll
Be Copied for Home-Designed
Millinery.

A most attractive trimming worn
upon a hat of burnt straw by a lady
whose good taste is undisputed was
fashioned in this manner:
A pattern for large petal was cut
and used as a guide to fashion petals
from tan-colored corded silk.
Two thicknesses of silk were used
for each petal; these were stitched
together by the machine, turned and
stitched again, a quarter inch from
the extreme edge
Twelve of these were sewn to a
small disc of buckram to form flow
or.
In the center of this was a chou of
narrow silk fringe of tan. The center
of the fringe was formed by disc of
gold cord adorned by two small tas-
sells
This makes an altogether smart
hat A yard of silk, five yards of
fringe and two yards of gold cord are
required.

Ty Cobb.

son he always led in doubles was be-
cause he stretched so many pure sim
giles into two-baggers by his clever
running. When in his prime Wagner
always came down to first base like
the wind and made the turn at full
speed Nine times out Of ten on the
ordinary hit he would have to stop
and hold first base. The tenth time
there would be slight tumble or de-.
lay in handling the ball in the outfleld
and he would go on to second. The
extra base might win the ball game.
Cobb earned his fame by studying
all opposing players, especially pitch
ers. He knows every move that is
going to be made by certain men and
just what it means. He watches the
outfielders and soon knows what their
way of handling the ball on the ground
is, whether they will get it away
quickly or not, and what kind of
throwers they are. If a man shows a
tendency to slowness or inaccuracy
Cobb makes mental note of the fact,
and the next time he hits to that field
he is likely to take an extra base.
