the whole day, as examination time

There is a dash of sauciness in every
hat this season, whether 1T be intended

for street use with tailored suit. Brlms
roll away from the face at unexpected
angles, crowns are tip-tilted on the head
at perilous slants, and never in the his
tory of millinery have hat trimmings
lowered so high. Even if the hat itself
is not dashing and saucy, it is put on
that way. Few hats. indeed. are intended
to be worn the way one would think they
were to be worn judging from the general
shape and the slant of the trimming.
The particular point which it is reason
able to suppose would be the center front

SARTORIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

Elderly women are evidently begin
ming to realize the comfort of the mar
row skirt. if | may judge by the num-
Der of queries coming in to me asking
for suggestions for remodeling the very
wide skirts into something a little more
up-to date. A recent correspondent
asked advice describing her skirt as fol-
lows: Il have a skirt belonging to a
the skirt is over six yards around the
bottom.
How can / make it narrower The
material is gray mixture, very smooth
cloth. a good material and we'll tailored.
1t was made in Vienna. The skirt is
made with three side pleats on either
side, renter front, suggesting a triple
box ple2t and similar peats down the
back. At each side there are two of
these triple box pleats. you can
magine how full the skirt must be. The
pleats are stitched to knee Depth
Now 1t would seem as though aitera-
ton might be a simple matter seeing
there was much material at ones
disposal. but when having them carried
out the task was not easy. l decided
to let front and back stay the same as
before, but to stitch the pleats in the
front down to within a foot or SO of the
hem.
The full sides were taken away en-
tirely. the pleats ripped. the material
pressed and then set in plain instead of
pleated. This took away two and a
half yards from around the bottom, bu,
owing to the material being gored and
the design an invisible stripe. this set
ting in was more difficult than might
be thought; still it was done finally and
with very satisfactory results.
The second skirt TO be remodeled was
a black mohair striped. This was a
kind of circular shape with suggested
panel down the front, and very sharp
bias line in the back This skirt meas
ured over five yards around, and it was
desired to remove about one and one
half yards. Now seeing the At was per-
| feet at the waist line and the hips the
skirt only the right length and no full
| ness whatever at the top to draw from
how to take the tail out at the back
| and still leave graceful line was some
what of a problem.
| First. the belt was ripped from the
| back to under the arms and the ma
| terial brought to the back, lifting the
top of the skirt above the normal waist
| line.
| When the fit was perfect at the tor
of the skirt and the surplus material
cut away attention was given to the bot
| tom.
| Drawing back the skirt made it short
| er, of course. in center back 1t also
created dips" on either side of the
| seam there.
| SO the hem was ripped, little facing
| added necessary and then turned w
evenly all around.
| have gone very much into detail
| because reducing skirt fullness seems to
! be such easy thing to do one might
! feel the work could be intrusted to al
most any average seamstress. But this
would be risky, has been shown. and
might mean loss as well as disap-
| pontment.
| OF course younger women have less
| trouble with skirt alterations, but / am
writing now in the interest of women
who have lost their normal figure and
| who must be fitted perfectly in order to
| look we'll.

SUMMER BLOSSOMS
FOR THE TABLE

Even the tiniest garden can be made to
furnish flowers for cutting all through
the summer at least Sweet peas. mas
turtiums, pansies, snapdragons. marlgoids
and poppies may not be uncommon, but
if they are grown at home their freshness
more than makes up for their lack of
rarity.
In table decoration one should strive for
variety. Even if flowers must be used
more than once. 1t takes little time 10

At breakfast keep the scheme simple: !.
some people will not use flowers at TINS
meal but a few fresh blooms in slender
vase are sure to look attractive. The
dinner decoration should have thought
put into it, and the lady of the Mowers
should bear in mind the family tastes and
anniversaries.
The amateur florist often laments the
short life of some of her treasures. Pop
pies for instance, must be put on the
tables Just when the meal is ready If they
are to be success at all. \ good scneme

them into the garden, putting IN each
poppy as it is picked. Treated IN TINS

much more artistic arrangement IS the

New Note in Stockings.

Thread silk hose are not cObwebby
enough to suit the fair Parisienna. Las,
winter f1esh-colored silk stockings OF
transparent fineness We're worn with the
neat buttoned boot of satin. suede or kid.
Now yelling stockings are being shown
in the Paris shops and there is no differ
ence bet ween the texture OF these stock
:ngs and the texture of a Russian cross
barred net face veil. except that the
stocking is woven of stronger SIX and the
mesh is elastic with more stretching e
quality than veil usually possesses. The
foot of the yelling stocking is of thread
silk, and there is band of thread silk
around the top for the accommodation OF

Motoring Millinery.

Some motorists cling to the becoming
little bonnet. which closely frames in the
face, covers the hair at the back. and
forms a firm support for the indispen-
sable veil. One of these is in dust
colored satin. with a brim stitched In
several rows to give hrmness and yet
not impede f1exibi,ity. 1t is furnished
with ears, that can be turned down
or turned back according to the con-
ditions of wind and weather.
The brim is lined with a lovely shade
of blue. and the veil. gray like the
bonnet itself. is stitched all around with
a border of blue ribbon matching that
on the bonnet. The capotes for motoring
are very sensible, and are chiefly made
of tagal straw in various colors.

rather low crown and dropping brim
which is sure to curl up at one point or
another to show the face and hair. Some
of these hats have brim facings of shir-
red taffeta: others are made entirely of
taffeta. Indeed. very little of the straw
shows in a Elodishly trimmed hat Of this
type, for the artistic midsummer hat is
as lavishly loaded with trimming as the
chic restaurant hat is simple and severe
in style. Large roses, used with leaves
in the natural way. are coming in again,
wired flower aigrettes which may be
smart, but which are anything but grace
fui
Wreaths of small flowers, set against
bands of dark velvet ribbon, are also
used with good effect on lace hats, and
especially charming are the hats with
crowns Of Duffed white tulle against
which are tucked small clusters of flow
ers in lovely old pink, pale blue and
PASTEL yellows.
The long streamers of velvet or satin
ribbon are a feature of midsummer NIL
linery. A hat streamer is always poor
long streamers are graceful and pictur-
esque. A black velvet streamer trailing
over the shoulder has the youthful sug-
gestion of a dark braid of hair straying
forward in the same manner. When two
streamers are used they are knotteI Just
below the neck and one end falls strafgh,
down. while the other trails over the
shoulder.
The vogue OF the pannier has largely
contributed 10 the success of the marquis

rod.

ner that reason dictates would very likely
be prim and severe and anything Dut
smart and youthful looking. and after
all is said and done. is not the chief aim
of millinery to make the face beneath the
hat look younger?
One of the reasons Paris millinery TINS
season is SO smart and dashing is the
enormous use of aigrettes and feather!
trimming of all sorts. Stifhy wired plumes
and feathery aigrettes are more fash1on-
able now than flowers, except for garden
hats, which always seem to be much the
same in type-broad and flexible OF brim
rather low of crown and loaded with SOFT
lace frills, great glowing roses and grace
full ribbon streamers.
| One model is of pink straw and mauve
| silk and encircling the crown are roses
and faded colors The straw of the hat
Is flexible and the brim droops low over
the face. Another is a fiat shape formed
of frills Of cream lace. The hat is trim
med with a wired outstanding cluster OF
foliage and pink roses. There is another
de-brimmed f1ower-trimmed hat among
the small cuts. The hat is of white mauve
straw draped with purple silk. The
crown is covered with American beauty
roses and foliage.
Such hats as these are invaria bly, be-
coming and picturesque. and worn
with lingerie frocks and against
landscape garden background they
have an artistic value that is not
to be denied. but they are not as smart
for town wear. or for restaurant or
afternoon bridge, .as the dashing shape
with wired plumes or aigrettes.
