SUGGESTION FOR STRAW HAT
Effective Trimming That Might Well
Be Copied for Home-DesIgned
Millinery.

most attractive trimming worn
upon hat of burnt straw by 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, quarter inch from
the extreme edge.
Twelve of these were sewn to a
small disc of buckram to form a flow.
err
In the center of this was 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.

Making Cheese in oIden Days.

Cheese was made by the old-time
farmers In the summer on the coop
erative plan by which four cattle own
ers owning say IA milch cows, received
all the milk night and morning, ac-
cording TO the daily yield of their
little herd. Thus given two families
having five cows each. one with three
and one with one. supposinu that the
average yield per COW was the same,
in two weeks. two owners would make
five cheeses each; one would press
three. and one only one cheese. but
