CHURCH IN ENGLISH WOODS
OF Great Antiquity, Sacred Edlflce In
North Devon Proves Big Attrac-

Culbone church, which among many
others claims to be the smallest
church in England, is situated on the
coast of North Devon. not far from
the picturesque little village of Por-
lock. and the church is so guarded
by hills and woods that the suns rays

porch, nave, carved oak chancel
screen and Norman font, an alabaster
altar piece and a quaint high pew
near the chancel. used by the family
of Lord Lovelace. by whom the prop
erty is owned. The slanted chancel is
lit by a tiny. square-headed, iron
barred window, the oldest feature in
the church, being pre-Norman, and
cut out of single stone. It is amply
large for the population. which is
about 35 In parish of 1887 acres. In
summer the church is crowded. ow-
ing to the influx of visitors from
many parts of the world.

z MALL hats still set the pace In mil
y linery, and all our headwear is
measured by small standards. But
midsummer demands brimmed hats,
and some of those of the midseason,
compared with the hats to which we
are daily accustomed, seem to deserve
to be classed as large. They are very
moderately so; the most daring ones
have considerable width of brim at the
left side, while the right side meas
ures from four to five inches. And
as they are on the order of the Gains

that characterizes picturesque millin-

Two attractive models of this kind
are shown In the picture. One of
them is a hemp in a light color and
the other is a black straw. The hemp
hat has a wide border on the under

fF YOU need separate jacket for
wear with summer toilettes, on any
occasion where a little extra warmth
must be provided, consider the won
derfully chic model pictured here.
The ordinary coat or jacket which is
called into requisition merely for
warmth is apt to be commonplace and
to take away from the costume some
thing of style Here is one that adds
distinction. 1t is entirely original in
line and has an amount of snap and
vigor which is refreshing in these
days of modes that are generally de-
scribed as Sloppy"
Already the tide has set toward
styles of different character, and by
fall we are likely to be quite military
looking In our bearing and our trap
pings. This jacket is a premonition.
1t is from the establishment of one
of the younger Paris costumers and
belongs to a suit, In fact. This suit
has a striped skirt of material diff
ferent from the jacket. Such suits
have been made in cloth and in silk,
and besides their charming effect they
have been extraordinarily successful
because the jackets are available for
wear with other skirts and costumes.
Light tans, modes and grays are a
safe choice in color, and black is real
ly the safest of all. Deep and quiet
shades of green have been used with

last airy touch that belongs to the
apex of summertime, white lace veil.
A very similar shape is portrayed
made up In black hair braid and black
maline The hat itself is small with
the brim much wider at left than at
the right side. But the overlap of
black maline in wide ruffles gives the
effect Of additional size. No color is
introduced into this. design. The big
satin rose is of black set in black rose
foliage.
Just now black and white. all black

of lustrous straw is trimmed with q
wired rufie of lace and fan of black

centered with black. are applied to the
body of the hat, mounted fat against

foliage.
This shape is medium In size but by
comparison with the majority of SIM
