HATS CATCH POPULAR FANCY
Tho "Drake" and this "Queen Eliza
beth" Have Won Much Favor
Here and In England.

The woman who admtres the pic
turesque In hats will admire the
Drake" and Queen Elizabeth hats.
The former. with fiat. full tam-o-
shanter crown. pluIoes sweeping TO
the shoulder, is u predominant note
In winter millinery. Velvet quilts to
match the crown and brim edged with
narrow feather fringe are also a pop
ular form of trimming. Corbeau blue
and vandyke brown are favored col
ors for the Drake" hat.
The unlucky aigrette. despite the eff
forts to make 1t unfashionable, is en-
joying no respite. Prices have soar
ed to a fabulous figure. and It is used
to trim many of the smartest Drake"
models.
The Queen Elizabeth hat has the
sides OF the brim curving upward. An
exquisite example of this variety was
of chestnut-brown velvet. with a white
plume sweeping over the side. This
was caught with a 3eweled ornament.

New Fashion.

A charming fashion recently revived
at the Paris opera consists In pinning
a couple of flowers upon thsp bodice
of the simply draped gowns In white
or black charmeuse. But these floral
trimmings do not adapt themselves
to the magnificent models in embroi
dered yelvets, brocaded satins aud
GAUGES recently launched upon the
stage. nor do they figure on beaded
creations. In the latter case the
yelled effects in spangled tulle and
lace. the draperies and the Innings
Of damask and charmeuse give the
required ornamentation to these beau
tiful toilets.

woman selects a special perfume and

Waist Pattern Help.

A waist pattern should be fitted
right side out-as II Is to be worn.
Almost everyone has some variation
In the two sides Of the figure. One
shoulder will be a trifle higher than
the other and the hip on the opposite
side a tritie lower than its mate, re-
sulting In a slightly longer wasted
underarm seam On that side than on
the other. Now, II you TT the waist

SOMETHING NEW IN CUSHIONS
Well Not to Pile Them Up In Too
Much Profusson, but Some Arc
Indispensable.

The fad for having divans piled up
with cushions Of promfscuous hues Is
fortunately out Of vogue, but an occa-
s,onal cushion In tho moro formal
drawing room, when 1t II really beau.
tiful and artistic, is still = possession
to DO priced and u indeed . thing OF
beauty. and makes \ most acceptable
gift. Such q cushion. instead OF beins
conspicuous and startling, should rath-
or tone In with the general color
scheme OF the room, and mono are
more splendid than those made from
harmonious pieces OF tapestry which
can now be gotten In such exquisite
coiors and designs.
To buy them made up ready for use.
is rather an impossibility for those OF
moderate means, but they sre within
the reach OF almost every woman
who Ia handy with her needle. and
possesses the necessary patience. Odd
ends of tapestry. or small remnants
can be picked up very cheaply. and to
make their beauty more pronounced
as though the tapestry IL woven by
hand, outline the flowers or conyen-
tional designs Or the pattern of which
1t ID composed with a furnished boul-
lion braid In gold, which Is round
rather than fiat, and couch this or
with gold thread.
To make the pillow the new oblong
shape, add a strip OF velvet to each
end of the tapestry and thfs velvet
should match or tone In with the pre-
dominating shade in the tapestry.
Where the velvet and tapestry meet
may be finished with furnished gold
lace. and the same sort Of a cord In
gold Is used around the cushion when
1t is complete. The back Of the cush-
ion Is made OF the plain velvet.

are fitted at the wrists by means of darts
and the sleeves in either length are
finished with pretty turned back cuffs.
There is a sailor collar and a shield that
can be used or omitted as liked. The
skirt is cut in five cores and is closed
with the waist at the center front. As
illustrated. the gown is made of serge
with trimming of velvet and buttons with
simulated button-holes. The model is
equally good for charmeuse, whipcord,
ratiHe and all similar materials. Ratine
in old blue with collar and cuffs of velvet
in a deeper shade would be extremely
pretty. White broadcloth with trimming
OF black would be very charming.

married because she a afraid to face the world and try to support
herself
But perhaps som wives there are, II they probe deep enough. would
find this to be the case; and II they are honest, would admit that Mrs.
Belmont was right.
But It is a rather venturesome proceeding to marry because you lack
the courage to face the world single-handed. If marriage Is understood
rightly, 1t requires a lot more courage to enter the state Of matrimony
than it does to jump into the thick of the fray for bread and butter.
There are many more lions to be met and conquered in the holy state of
matrimony than there are in the commonplace realms where a living is
made. And the only thing that will yanqush these lions is love II one
enters marriage without love, the prospect is that life will be far less happy
than had she fought the fight OF life alone.
But 1. is not always eowardce that prompts a woman to marry rather
than to try to support herself She doesn't sc often fear earning her
living, as she dislikes the prospect of being a breadwinner In the big
world. She is often lazy. But mor frequently the work the home offers
is more to her taste than the work the business world offers. She marries
for a home. net because she is afraid of making the venture to support
herself, but because she Graves the home life and the home associations
She is a coward when It comes to going without these. And 10 she takes
a chance and marres In order to get them.
But though this method may b o a little more worthy than marrying
to avoid supporting herself, is 1t a sufficient reason fr marrying?
The thoughtful wife or the thoughtful husband knows 1t Is not.
Perhaps those who live specifically might be content. But those who
have touched the heights and sounded the depths of marriage know 1t can.
II entered into rightly, yield a happiness SO pure that 1t is n pity that 1t
