BEGIN with 4 New Hat.

"A new hat must have" says the
average woman each season, and q
new hat she does have, even II she
has to go without some Of the neces-
stiles to get 1t. Now this may seem
foolish to some, but in reality 1t is
very wise. With a becoming hat,
fresh and up-to-date. even though it
lis accompanied by an old suit, provid-
ed it is neat and trim, a woman passes
as stylish and well dressed. Let her
appear. on the other hand, in new
suit, with an old hat, detected and
hopelessly out of fashion, and she is
Immediately referred to as way be-
hind the times. And SO 1t Is that the
woman who is wise in dress matters
begins each new season with new
hat.-Woman's Home Companion.

HANDY FOR THE TRAVELLERS
Probably Most Convenient PIN cush-
lon That Has Yet Been Brought
Into Common Use.

A pin cushion that lends itself to
the needs Of the traveller is COM
bination affair of cushion and jewel
box. The leather frame is green, red
or drak blue, lie octagonal in shape,
with heavily padded cushion top
covered with velvet
This top fits so tightly into the
lower part that none but the initiated
guesses at the double function Of the
box. This makes 1t a safe hiding
place for trinkets.
An ingenious girl has copied one of
the combination cushions by using a
fancy candy box, six inches in dia-
meter and two inches high. She pad
ded the top with wool, covered 1t with
pink chiffon velvet the tone OF the
flowers In the gaily stamped border
and finished the edge with narrow
silver braid.
Instead Of using the bottom for
jewelry, she turned 1t into collar
box. The dimensions enable her to
carry more than a dozen collars
without crushing.

WARDROBE NEEDS MUCH CARE
Amply Repaid, However, on the Score
Of Economy, az Well as Having
Proper Appearance.

People are not all naturally neat
and tidy. but often "a word to the
wise is sufficient" II dress is taken
OFF and thrown to the floor, perhaps In
a damp state, or even hung up undried,
when next wanted for wear 1t will be
found crushed and dragged; whereas,
II care is taken to shape it we'll, place
It on a hanger and hang 1t where the
air has chance to dry 1t, the garment
will appear fresh and neat when
wanted again. The wardrobe of an
untidy, careless girl or woman will
cost her twice the amount OF her more
tidy neighbor, and she will never look
SO fresh and trim.
Hats often suffer most. A hat
comes bright and new from the MILL
ner's. is worn day after day, tossed on
q bed or chair when taken of and left
for all dust and dirt to adhere to it.
After months wear 1t is hardly At to
be seen. The girl who keeps her new
hat for clear days, brushes 1t careful
ly, arranges the bows or flowers, then
puts 1t away In box or covers 1t with
paper, finds 1t a pretty hat as long as
she requires it. "A stitch in time
saves nine is very true saying re-
garding all clothes. A garment is sent
to the laundry with small hole, re-
turns with a far larger one. and at
last is thrown aside only At for the
rag bag. II the same garment had
been mended in time It would have
lasted months.
Stockings should have special no
tice. All thin places should be neatly
darned before they become holes.
A veil rolled each time 1t is taken
OF will keep neat much longer than
when folded; gloves pulled out and
smoothed will wear twice as long as
II they were crushed and tossed into
q drawer.
Dresses should be folded right side
out and covered with paper or an old
sheet. Keep all drawers, chests and
wardrobes neat and clean and all arti
cles carefully sorted. not all mixed VI
In state Of confusion. Be neat and
you will be amply repaid for the little
trouble 1t causes you.

Tho Dolly Warden Gown.

Each Of the French couturiers has
brought out a Dolly Warden lowered
gown and, though differing in particu-
lars, all these gowns are alike In one
respect-the pannier. A Dolly Warden
costume without pannier would be
like Hamlet with Hamlet left out. or
something equally as disappointing;
and. indeed, the pannier. quite as
much as the lowered material, makes
the costume worthy Of its name. Pom
padour silks and Powered taffetas In
new and charming patterns have APP
peared like magic In the shops to
make these Dolly Warden gowns, and
as quantity of the silk is required
for the draped panniers, the folk who
have been crying out against the small
amount of material necessary nova
days should cheer up.

In minute" is an expression
frequently heard. A minute seems a

Of time, and because of that idea
most people waste a good many in
the course of a day. Yet think what
can be done in the short space of a
minute. Take travelling as an exam
pie. In minute the average pedes-
trian walks sixteen rods, a trotting
horse and an ocean grey hound COY

travelling, but nothing to what this old

whirls US around on the outside of
the earth by its diurnal motion some
thirteen miles, and it speeds us on in
the same space Of time 1850 miles
on its grand tour around the sun.

in one short minute it flashes thru
100000 miles. A minute is a good
