Odd Origins of Modern Clothes

worn.
1t was woman's love of sport that
finally forced her to adopt the mas
culine hat. In the time of Queen
Elizabeth we find the ladies wearing
plumed hats Of velvet. taffeta, or sar-
senet, exactly like the mems. But
these were only donned for riding,
hunting or hawking. For ordinary wear
they had q sort of hood with lappets.
This was the opening wedge that grad
ually forced the hood into the back
ground. 80
ticing and women decided to wear
them on all occasions So the men
in self-defense, to distinguish Eheir
hats from those of their sisters and
wives, commenced to cock" them or
turn. I'D the brims in different ways.
There were the military. the hunting,
the legal. the mince pie, the steeple, the
spout. hats. etc., and finally, by loop
ing. Up equally the three sides. the
cooked hat which was worn throughout
the eighteenth century. was evolved.
And since that day the ladies' hats
have run the gamut from small to large
every year or 50 and are still doing it.

It is easier to learn than to unlearn

Repentance is none the less sincere

Words conceal the thoughts Of q

Time makes old fashions new fashions.
Talk will result in thinking oftener

Tottle Goes Horseback
Riding

~ ERE is Tottie Tabby on old
She went for a short ride
before her eGkfast. but
she made a great mistake. And it
all came from being proud.
She did not get a chance to ride at
home. Only when she went to her
grandmother's. Then she felt very
proud. indeed, as she rode through
the lanes. and wanted everyone to
think that she had the chance to ride
every day.
Don't stay very long. TottIe
dear" said her grandmother. as she
started out Of the side gate. You
know that your uncle Is coming to
visit me today. and want you
back In time to see him. Remem-
Der to be polite to everyone that you
meet. We always speak to one an
other when we meet on the road,
here In the country"
Dave was impatient to be of. and
Tottie promised and was out and
down the road In no time.
Now I must ride my best, and sit
very straight" she thought.
Il wonder IL my skirt Is all right
1 might ride past the house and see
IL I could peek at Tom or Binkie-
but there are not SO many people
on that road"
There was another reason why
Tottie didn't go past her house.
She did not want to meet people she
knew, for she wished to have every
one she met think that Dave was
her horse She did not mean to be
such q proud little kitty girl: but
her head was quite turned by all the
good times she had been having.
Her mind was so taken up with
thinking about herself that she did
not see anyone else.
Grandmother told me to speak
to all the country people, but dear
me. 1t Is such a bother" and Tottie
rode along without looking at any,
one She did not see the pretty
flowers and birds all about her. she
missed many Of the kindly looks that
would have made her feel happy, and
she began to get very tired from
sitting so straight and stiff.
Goodness me- grumbled Dave,
''She will make me stub my toe in
a minutes. This being 50 stuck up
makes me nervous"
But Tottie did not hear him. She
had seen some people coming in a
buggy and she had made Up her
mind not to look at them. Stupid
country mole chasers," she said to
herself. II simply won't speak to
them"

Sells Oil Machinery
With Moving Pictures

An enterprising firm in Hull, Eng
land, making oIl-mill and other ma
chinery for export. has a private pic
ture palace" for showing its machinery
In operation under various circum-
stances. The firm finds this particu-
larly valuable in entertaining foreign
customers who want to see how the
machinery is employed in actual prac-
tice. II is much simpler and actually
more effective to show the moving pic
lures than showing the customers
through the mills. even when srch a
course is possible. An important varia-
ton OH this scheme is TO send the
films abroad, with or without a sales
man. for the benefit of customers who
might never have an opportunity to see
the actual operation OF the machinery
in other countries.

How I o Have Good Teeth

it is well to apply the bicarbonate

1t as You would tooth powder.
=" Have on your wash stand q glass
OF water into which has been added
ten drops Of iysol and keep your
tooth brush In this when not In Use.
Change the water every other day.
This solution keeps the brush free
of germs and removes all danger Of
their being deposited hack In the

chemical test Of a well-used brush
revealed thousands Of germs Of many
kinds. This was a proof of the
unhygienic practice Of using an old
tooth brush, and Of its actual dan
ger to the general health. Before
using new brush soak IL well In
mild solution of hot water and boric
acid.
Find a texture Of bristle in one

When the first indication is no.

A soft linen handkerchief wrapped
about the finger will cause a friction

VvYHY do we wear hats? 1t can t
M be absolutely essential to
wv health, for savages never
- wear them. And when you
come to the countries where protec-
ton from the cold is necessary the
natives wear hoods. The world got
along very we'll without hats for thous-
ands of years. The earliest form of
head covering was undoubtedly the
hood. The ancient Roman gentleman
threw one end of his toga or flowing
robe over his head to keep OFF the rain /;
the soldier had his leather or steel
helmet to protect his skull from the
blows Of the enemy. The common
people had sort of hooded cloak.
which Is worn to this day in certain
parts Of Italy. The ladies Of the Old
World went bare headed, or when it
was very cold or rainy, they also used
part Of their robes as headgear or
wore a scarf, but never a hat When
going on a long journey out in the
cpen' country. where protection from
the SIM would be required. the man OF
the ancient Roman family occasionally
wore a curious bowl-shaped hat called
q petasus.
1t was not until the time OF the
Norman conquest that hats were worn
In England. These early head COW
erings we're made Of beaver or velvet
and were trimmed with plumes, and.

also. and were worn only by the nobill-
ty and gentry.
