IL modistes foretell vogue for large
hats, to begin with the fall season.
Large hats and small. simple coiffures
do not harmonic, and already the
light puff for filling out the couture
has made it's appearance. We have
also to consider small hair rolls or
pads for supporting the hair, and
coiffures are quite generally dressed
in waves. These are the wavelets
that are breaking upon new shore
line in hairdressing, speaking figura-
| lively; they are foretelling a rising
tide of favor for more display in the
management of the hair. The couture
shown here pictures the hair parted
at one side and waved in smooth. reg
ular undulations. There is a short
lock at the front arranged in a light
curl. Some of the new styles show
two very precise ringlets. one on each
side of a middle part. For this style
the hair is also waved, but more loose
ly, and the coil is arranged lower OF
the neck
Long, light puffs help out in build
ing up a couture and few of them
arranged about coil. make the new
styles easy to accomplish.

A MUCH sketched and much talked
IN of costume, worn at the Chantilly
races, is pictured at the left of the
snapshot photograph which appears
here. 1t is in black satin with the
longest of white lace tunics over it
and black satin coat With the
same color combination, used in re-
verse order, is a costume of white
satin with overdrape of black lace,
at the right Of the picture.
A throng of people attend these
meets for the sole purpose of staging
costumes in the most effective of set
tings. These people demonstrate the
modes and launch new styles. They
form the centers of attraction for that
greater throng that is in attendance
for the purpose of looking at them
The handsome costume which
caused so many modistes to take no
tice and so many artists to level cam
eras or ply pencils, is chiefly remark
able for the oddly of the lace of
which the tunic is made. Patterned
after an old idea, modern lace, show
Ing figures on net ground, was used
for this tunic. But the figures are
distinctly up to date, showing girls in
sweeping draperies and graceful out
lines encircling the tunic near the bot
tom. The figures and draperies are
cleverly outlined with run-in threads
and they, with the garlands of flowers
and other figures, are brought out in a
cameolike relief by the underskirt Of
black satin.

PUT IN COMPLETE
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
No Better or Safer Investment
for Average Farmer Than
Plan of Tile Drains.
1Ry W. N. KELLY

There has been much discussion in
the agricultural press concerning the
best investments for farmers. In my
opinion there is no better or safer in
veotment for the average farmer. than
tile drainage ON such parts of the
farm as fail to produce maximum
crops during wet seasons.
There are many acres of naturally
fertile soil that are not paying the
owner the cost of working, that could
be made the most productive portion
of the farm. If good system of under
draining were put in.
In many cases the first crop win pay
the entire cost of drainage. OF course
many farmers are SO situated that
they cannot afford to put in the com
plete drainage system at one time.
My advice to such men is to have
their plans made at one time, and dc
little every year.

Oh. smiling lady. your Jewels flash.
Your furs are rich and your eyes are
bright,
With lavish hand you are spending cash.
You know no want and your heart is
light;
You look so glad and you seem so free
From the cares that worrying people
know
That wonder, seeing your ecstasy,
Who was paying your bills year ago.
Perhaps he fingers alone somewhere,
Or another may bring him gladness
The lines that are drawn by the hand Of
Care
May be deeply etched in his aching
brow;
Remorse may gnaw at his lonely heart
Or another may hear him whisper low;
But you, made up with consummate art
Who was paying your bills year ago?
You do not wall DER the cost of things,
Whatever your fancy Graves you take
Your hands are laden with flashing rings
And your fingers never from toiling
You give no thought to the ones who
shrink
Where a chill creeps in when the mad
winds blow
Your furs are soft and your cheeks are
pink;
Who was paying your bills year ago?
Oh. lady fair, in another year
You may wonder how, in your careless
pride
You forgot to pause and declined to hear
The helpless who in their sadness cried;
You may sit alone where the light is dim
And mourn the fate that has brought
you low,
AS you think sometimes with paug of
him
Who was paying your bills year ago

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv-
GUS, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and l both loved coffee and
thought 1t was bracer." tDelusion.)
Finally, after years OF suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention 20 new
Ideas, we decided to test Postum.

It and were free OF Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
ehange-fr4sher skin. sturdier nerves

These changes were not sudden
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and We LOST
the desire for coffee.
MANY Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did moi
make it right. But when they made
Postum according to directions OF

Some Potato Pests

The coat Is not allowed to distract
the attention from this clever posing
of odd lace. It is entirely plain, but
quite original in cut. The hat is OF
black satin with two extravagantly
long Numidi feathers sweeping be-
yond the brim edge.
The attention of the seeker for new
styles having been seized by this
novel gown, he notes its details to
find new features worth remember,
ing. First, it's simplicity; then the
extra length of tunic and width OF pet
ticoat; and most noticeable, the wide
hat brim, which is a radical new de-
parture.
1t is not often that anything so
striking is at the same time so elei
CANT The combination of black and
white makes this possible.
The second gown is hardly less
noteworthy and only shade less orig,
inal. The tunic is of black net, hav-
ing an insert Of lace wrought in and
border OF very wide velvet ribbon
above the hem. 1t is set on to the
bodice of black net by band of black
velvet. The long sleeves are of net
and lace in black. There is that orig,
inal touch which means everything In
the really gorgeous embroidery in
white figures which ornaments the net
bodice.
The white feather turban worn with
this costume is prominent feature in
styles of the hour.

Many interesting ones are to be
found on some of the older cathedrals

Europe, but the most famous of all
are those of the Cathedral of Notre

been thus glimpsed by thousands OF
hurrying tourists, it is only by ascend
ing to the roof that one may come to
anything approaching a familiar ac-

whose very ugliness constitutes their
claim to beauty.
And 1t may be noted In passing that
this closer view of the gargoyles is
not the only thing to be gained by
this journey to the roof. 1t Is rather

THE neighborhood of Belle Haven
was not a desert; on the contrary it
was in many places a garden spot,
abounding with luXuries. But its in
habitants, the wealthy, were not wise.
By the successful culture of tobacco
they had money And having filed
their coach houses with gilt carriages
and their dining rooms with gilt glass
es they began to look down upon the
poorer sort and to talk about families.
"Of course it would never do for
such great people to run market carts!
Hence the poor Belle Havenites,
though embosomed in plenty, we're
often in danger of gnawing their nails.
And unless they could cater a lamb

'59, when Washington, just married to
the wealthy young widow Custis, had |
settled at Mount Vernon, nine miles |
below Belle Haven. The unpleasant !
situation of the families at that place |
soon reached his ears. To a man Of |
his character, with too much spirit to
follow bad example when he had the
power to set a good one and too much
wit to look for happiness anywhere but
in his own bosom, 1t could not long be
questionable what part he had to act
"A market cart was instantly con-
structed, and regularly three times
