SEVERAL HATS OUT OF ONE.

A few years ago when hat trimming
was a mystery to the average woman.
the average woman had but one hat a
season. She could not trim them, when
she did try she was discouraged they
had no style. Now any one can be a
milliner-happy day.
Suppose you are worrying about your
Easter hat. You can afford but one
you need several Buy one hat prefer
ably black, unless your coat, suit and
gowns are Of the One-color scheme, say
plum. or dark blue or taupe, when you
can use a matching or harmoniZing color
Be sure that it is good hat and will
keep its lines. Many good hats in straw
cost but 81. Then see that II is becom-
ing and not conspicuous in shape, that il
has style. Now think of your feathers
at home. your lace bows or "fancies' of
flowers. You probably nave something in
black or black and white and where is
that gold colored plume you wore two
years ago? For so cents you can buy
a good strong attractive pair of slipper
buckles and your feathers or bows can
be changed in 4 twinkling to suit your
different costume. Change not only the
color. but the place-one can stand in
front. another at the side or back, a
French plume can droop along the brim.
With a little practice before the mir
ror. you will become expert in placing
the trimmings. Have the hat lining
drawn up loosely with ribbon that
can be opened so that you can put a
second pin "a safety higher up on the
feather to steady II and concealed un-
der the lining. This scheme is prac-
tical and has been tried with success.

SUMNER STOCKINGS.

Embroidered clocks on stockings are
never more appropriate than when worn
with an OrEandie dress or a white lin
Gerie gown that has upon it a touch of
cOlored ribbon. II the colored ribbon is
omitted, embroidered stockings can be
worn just the same, for the embroidery
can be in white also. \ dainty Southern
girl known for her good taste in dress
wore with a blue-and white figured or
candle white silk stockings upon which
with her own pretty fingers she had en-
brOidered fOrget-mc-nOt clocks. Tiny
sprays Of the flowers ran up each side of
the stockings and peeped out when my
little lady's skirts were raised ever so
slightly
