PRETTY IDEA FOR MILLINERY
Hand-Painted Effects Are Among the
Seasons Novelties and Have
Been Received With Favor.

The application of analine dyes in
hand-painted effects to millinery Of
the season is an entirely new device,
and the result is UNIQUE. White os-
trich feathers, long and thick, are dec
GRATED in flower designs in natural
colors. The design runs upward with
the quill and spreads out on the hues.
Another fancy is to paint the straw
hat directly, just in the design the
flowers would make, or fruit, were it
placed upon it. On the brim or on
the crown, or partly under the brim,
or on its upturned edge Here the
pattern is traced in brilliant tones.
White straw and natural straw are
the only shades so decorated. Any
surface or quality may be used. Gar
den hats are really pretty done in this
way. A design of cherries in red with
green leaves and gray twigs of stems
is. for instance, especially odd.

WHY SERVE CAKE WITH TEA7
Writer Criticizes Hostesses for Their
Penchant for Serving InaPPro-
pirate Combinations

Anyone who serves waters with tea
is lacking in gastronomic imagination.
Drinking tea and eating a wafer is
like having a picnic in the woodshed,
or wearing an Easter hat with 60
loshes, declares a writer in the Allan
tic Monthly.
1t is a hueless compromise where
there might be vivid delight. Many
otherwise excellent hostesses fail to
perceive the relation between after
noon tea and its edible accompani-
ments. They will serve you a hard,
obstinate biscuit that you break, red
faced, on the rim of your saucer, send
Ing, as likely as not, your cup bounc-
ing over the other edge. and your tea
splashing into your neighbours lap;
or they generously provide you with a
huge, gelatinous cube of cake that ad-
heres to your saucer, and renders you
temporarily web-ingered, the while
you attempt to formulate an epigram
on Henry James, or discourse glibly
as to why women like men.
There is yet another type Of hbstess
who passes with your tea a dribbling
sandwich, oozing salad dressing at
every pore and containing, half con
cealed, a malicious, indivisib1e lettuce
leaf. People who thus fail of main
tanning the fitness of things at the
tea hour have no genuine apprecia-
ton Of the drink which they dispense.

Cabinet Officers Are Patrons of Lunch Rooms

Best Use of Scent.

The best way to use scent, if you
care to use 1t at all, is to put a deli
cate extract in an atomizer and spray
yourself with it. Strong scents are
offensive and the most subtle and
elusive odor is that obtained from q
generous use of sachet bags laid
among ones lingerie, in the drawers
with ones handkerchiefs, gloves and
wells, and possibly fastened in the
front Of ones stays or in some inner
fold of the bodice. One can buy many
different kinds of powder for sachets
but whatever you choose, heliotrope
violet, rose or carnation, remember
that the addition of little orris pow
der will add to its strength and make
it more lasting

WASHINGTON requisition OF
W Secretary of Labor William b.
Wilson for three automobiles, two for
personal and one for departmental
use. has brought up the subject of
the private use of government con-
veyances. The demand for automobiles
by the secretary of labor is based on
the claim that 1T is just as cheap
now to purchase, maintain and oper-
ate a motorcar as it is a horse and
wagon or buggy
The government provides four or
five automobiles for the president, one
for the Vice-president, one for the
speaker Of the house and one for the
public printer, and carriages and
horses for the members of the cabinet
and their assistants. Cabinet mem
bers have two-horse carriages and
their assistants single horse coupes
The White House cars cost from
$4,000 to $4,000. Ex-Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon rode in large, handsome
$4,000 car. but Speaker Champ Clark

of any kind. Vice-President Thomas

He CARRIED an UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very "sot
In her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like certain man She had
no particular reason that she could

SO emphatic in her expression of dis

find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out Of
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as a fash she answered her
questioner, He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is q
'softie'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out OF the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an um-
brelIa'
This did not stump the old lady. But
that's another matter don't like him
anyhoW-aud besides, 1t all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said a good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
it proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that 1t contains. They looked upon
that as splendid argument against it.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than In Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism Of
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and Hk-
ing tea or coffee, it all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and If it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
really helpful in whatever it is-this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all. it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv-
