/ BLACK SATIN HAT RETAINED
Favorite Color, Yet This Style
Is Always Smart.

While colors are to be rampant this
year and spread themselves over the
world like gorgeous sunset or rain
bow. yet the TINY black satin hat is to
be very smart indeed The woman
who is in doubt what to choose when
she is bewildered by the sulphur. pur-
pie, bronze and red shades offered
would do we'll to rapidly retreat to-
ward conservatism and choose a hat
of black satin that has little trimming
and owes its beauty to its shape.
Such hats are not what they used
to be. They are distinctly of this sea
son. The shape is rather stiff, with a
low crown and a two-inch brirn which
rolls slightly back at the edges; over
this the satin is stretched and finished
at the seams with cord or piping
There are no folds or bows or full
crown bands; all is as smooth and de-
mure as a mans. silk hat. The trim
ming is placed fiat on the brim and is
made up of any kind of feather that
has spirals and looks struggling and
careless.
The best known choice is IA feather
called numidie and which is more or
less expensive and very fashionable.
The peacock feathers are on this or
der and that is one of the reasons
why they have returned to favor.
Straw and wheat are also used, and
whatever does not lie fiat on the brim
stands insolently erect in the micdie

Beaded Bacs.

Beaded bags refuse to be .ousted.
The smartest are of jet oblongs,
pierced and applied to the net alter
nately with beads Of silver or gold, or
set solidly together and bordered with
silver, gold or white disks. Equally
alluring are the bags made of steel
mingling with colored beads and
those which show the same curious
shaded effects that distinguish shot
silks. Some of these latter are made
in the fashionable pannier shape first
brought out in walrus or seal bags,
and all contain a change purse and
card case of satin matching the lining
of the chief receptacle.

Half married already? What do

grandmother.

White frocks and blouses or under
clothing that have a bad color should
be first soaked in cold water to which
little ammonia has been added and
then given lemon bleach; that is, a

Human remains were dug up by
workmen at ~Stonehaven. Kincardine,
during recent excavations behind a
new moving-picturc theater. The rem
ant of two skeletons, buried in sand,
were found. The bones were found
close up against the old dwelling
house, said TO be at least 100 years old,
and if the bones had been there when
the house was built they would have
been seen. Instead Of being stretch
ed out, the bones were found in a pile,
and the two skulls indicated that they
were either male and female, or grown
up woman and girl, but on that point
they are being retained for further ex.
animation. 1t is believed that they
may be the result Of some unknown
tragedy. or have been concealed there
during the time of body-snatching.

that there will be q wide difference be-
tween the preliminary estimates and
the final figures offered in the final
bids based on the complete plans and
specifications.
For a house Of moderate cost, espe-
cially il 1t is Of pretty good size. the
only safe way ia to make a firm res
olution, and stick to 1t. to u out all
the little costly Injuries and to retain
only the essentials which are neces-
sary for comfort. Many features can
be added FIVE years after a building is
put up Just as well as while the house
is being built. After a home is once
started 1t will be a constant JOY and
satisfaction to add to its comforts and
attractions by working in new features
as time goes on.
In the design illustrated herewith
the interior of the house has been
made most important, while the out
side is of neat and trim appearance.
Still, there is nothing elaborate about
it, it being designed just as economic
ally as could be possible. A perfectly
square house with a hip roof has
proved itself to be the most economical
of any; and when properly arranged
within makes as comfortab BILE and sat
isfactory a home as could be desired.
The first floor plan of this house is
exceptionally good. From the central
square hall one finds the living room
occupying the entire space at the left,
while to the right is the dining room,
with the kitchen just back of it. The
stairway goes up with a single turn.
and is so arranged that the front stair
way from the reception hall and the
back stairway from the kitchen open
onto a common landing, thus saving
the expense of an extra stairway and
the space usually occupied by one.

course it is trim and neat-if the in
terror is comfortable and home-like
and so arranged that the work can be
done easily.
The third factor, hat of cost, very
often seems to be. il not most impor-
tant, the most important of the three.
Most home builders rave to set q def

not to go over it. The outside design
can be changed from m style to an
other, and the interior arrangement Is
a matter OF choice, no II plan being
absolutely essential. But with the cost
1t is different. Most of US have to
carefully determine. before building.

1t is just as well, too, that this is so.
It leads to economy and close figuring
and careful attention to the details of
the work. and this leads 10 satisfac-

believing that a much more elaborate

he has decided on than is in reality
the case. The little $4,000 bungalow.

The fact Of the matter is. it Is a diff

included in the specifications as the

When going into q building project
there are three considerations Of i'm
p~ortance hat present themselves. In
the first place there Is the design or
outward appearance of the structure.
next the arrangement Of the dwelling
inside for comfort and convenience.
and last the cost of the building.
There Is apt to be a wide range OF
choice in regard to the first factor
tho design or outward appearance OF
the house. This is a matter to be de-
cided according to the taste of the
owner and the requirements of the
building site. 1t is proverbial that
tastes differ widely; so there can be
no definite fixed requirements along
that line. Also the needs of different
locations vary greatly. 1t has been
said that We plan the outside of our
houses to please the neighbors, or to
make a brave show from the street.
Accordingly this first factor, that of
outward appearance. may at times be
of very little real Importance, although
of course everyone would prefer to
live in as attractive a dwelling place
as possible.
All things considered, the interior of
a residence is far more important than
the exterior. Real satisfaction in a
homo comes from the comfortable.
coy and inviting features of the living
room: the bright cheerfulness of the
dining room, and the conveniences
provided not only in the kitchen and
pantry, but also in the other parts OF
the house. 1t matters little what the

new commissioners for the Dis
tic OF Columbia are planning to pro
vid the national capital with public

wagering that when the new links are

gina where the common folks main
tain the Washington Golf club.
The membership OF the club is
made III mainly OF government clerks
and other persons who have to look
sharp to make both ends meet finan-
cially The democracy of the play
ground seemed to appeal to the pres
i6ent.

for either one or two purposes-exer-
else ar pleasure. II you play a good
game. you play for pleasure. II your
game is bad. YOU play for exercise
ana you get plenty of it.
