THE great variety in hats made d
! jet combined with other materials
gives reason to think that the jet
trimmed hat Is destined to usher in
the spring and remain throughout the
summer. Already hats made of JET
and maline, or jet and lace, with a
touch of velvet in their composition
have appeared, and, while appropriate
for present wear, they are airy
enough for summer. The jet hat does
not belong to one season but to all
of them. 1t is a good investment in
millinery
Many of the new hats are quite
high. The shapes themselves are
moderate in height, but the trimming
gives the effect of very high crowns.
This phase Of the new styles is liked
for the combination of jet with ma
line or lace. Two hats of this kind
are shown here, 10th Of the prettiest

there is a standing rufne of maline
(doubed) supported by fine wires.
No other trimming is used Such a
hat is useful at any season. Thanks
to the recent discoveries of manufac-
turers, the maine is not as fragile as
it looks. 1t has been made water
proof. The jet is one of the few mil
linery materials that have lasting
qualities.
The model of jet and lace is also a

a hat, the little brilliant vest and the

sive.
1t is a happy idea to have bit of
the same coloring in the hat worn with
these chic accessories. The small black
velvet hat has made opportunities for
the addition OF trimming to har-
monte with colors worn in the cos
tune. Crowns covered smoothly with
the same rich and SNOWY fabrics that
are used for making vests, will be
found effective.
The small Waistcoats are embellish-
ed with handsome cut steel jet or
rhinestone buttons. Jet and rhine
stone combined are in great favor just
now. They are the last word in the
matter of briliance and look we'll on
any color or mixture of colors.
Besides the little vest there is the
girdle of brilliant silk ribbon or
piece goods, and the specially good
wide velvet ribbon. Plaids and Ro-
man stripes in such fascinative color
combinations that one instantly falls
In love with them, furnish many of the
girdles. Erocddes are liked, but to
be worn at the same time as a bril-
liant vest, the girdle of plain velvet
ribbon furnishes about the best
choice.
These girdles appear to be adjusted
loosely about the figure and extend
somewhat below the waist line. But
think not that this is easily or care
lessly done. They are carefully placed,
the wearer adjusting them in front of
her mirror and pinning them with the
smallest Of tiny safety pins on the
under side. The pins do not show, of
course. The girdles, If of ribbon.
are nearly always crushed bit. The
effort these days is not to make the
waist look trim" and small, but to
suggest ease and freedom.
The effect of handsome, harmoni-
Gus girdle in toning up a gown can
hardly be overestimated. THAT girdle
makes the gown" is a comment one is
apt to hear when a successful girdle
lifts an ordinary gown to its own ele-
giant level.

1t was five years since Henry Thorn

q little place tucked away in the heart
Of the Berkshires, and kept by an old
couple who took boarders to exc out
their scanty means.
And. though old Mr.. and Mrs. Beach
were pleased to see him, there was q
certain hesitation about their welcome.
He had run down unannounced. trust.
Ing to luck to obtain a room. To his
surprise and delight the house was
nearly empty.
The only other guest was q charm
ing young lady named Miss Marchant.
And. though they were introduced with
all informally, Miss Marchant-whose
name, Thornley, learned. was Rose
did not appear enthusiastic about be-
coming acquainted with him.
In fact, on the third morning Thorn.
ley was 30 disguised with his efforts
to win her friendship that he had al.
most decided to leave for town.
He was strolling along q country
lane in no pleasant mood when he
heard the sound Of a golloping horse
behind him. He turned, to see Miss
Marchant seated in the landlords old
fashioned buggy. while the pony. en-
tirely out Of hand, was running at full
speed toward the railroad line. And
q train was sounding In the distance.
1t was the work of an instant for
Thornley, to spring forward and clutch
the pony's bride. Knocked down and
dragged for some distance though he
was, he brought the trembling steed
to a standstill just as the train thun.
dered past.
He must have tainted for, whom no
awoke, the pony was cropping grass
contentedly by the wayside. while Miss
Rose Marchsnt kneeled at his side,
trying to revive him.
"You poor, brave mani" she said a.

It was not the words. but something
In her tone that startled Thornley,.
Miss Marchant was addressing him

rose rather stitfly to his feet.
"Will you permit me to drive you
back?" he asked. Il understand q lit
tie about horses. and my wrist may be
stronger than yours"
He saw Miss Marchant's eyes widen
in either CONSERVATION or terror.
20, no, MOI" she cried, and sprang
into the buggy.

treated with contempt, and his stub.

by the bride.

insist. You may come to some harm"
Miss Marchant screamed and
slashed the pony across the flank. It
started of, flinging him aside, and he
rolled In the dust. to see, when he
rose to his feet again, Miss Marchant
and the pony and the buggy far in the
distance
A grinning countryman came by and
stopped to stare at Thornley,, who, in
no good humor, asked him what he
was looking at.
You be from old man Beach's?"
asked the fellow, still grinning.
We'll, what II l am? Is there any,
thing amusing in that?" Thornley, de-
manded.

Suddenly the explanation flashed
across Thornley's mind. Old Mr..

years before, had had the obsession
that he could increase his income con-

wife had appeared embarrassed when
he appeared upon the scene SO unex-
pectedly. And Miss Marchant-"

He left the grinning yokel in the
road and started back IS hard as he
could 90.
At the top Of the hill he found the
pony grazing, the buggy behind It,
empty. Beside the road Miss Mar
chant was seated, looking about her
In a dazed manner. There was mud
on her dress. Thornley, hurried up to
her. He aided her to her feet.
"Now you must let me see you home
at once" he said, and, taking her I'M
resisting arm in his hand, he placed
the other hand upon the pony's bride,
and the party proceeded homeward.
All the way Thornley, caught Miss
Marchant watching him in the same
singular manner.
Mr.. Beach was profuse In his apollo
giles. He would never have let Miss
Marchant have the pony II he had
known 1t was going to act in that
manner. Thornley, cut him short.

When they we're alone he broke out
angrily:
What do you mean by letting that

enough of them. Now I'm trying to
build up regular business again. But
it's hard. When once a man has ia

didn't you tell her? That accounts for
the way she has been treating me-"
What's the user" asked Mr.. Beach.
"She wouldn't have believed me. Once

poets all his guests are mentals.
They'll be calling me mental soon.
I hoped you'd find each other out, but
II I'd tried to speak It would only
have made things worse than what
they were."
Thornley's anger soon passed. From
bis point Of view the old man was

bis guests that the other was not q

him?
He chafed and fumed the rest Of the
day, because Miss Marchant did not
appear. But when, on the next morn.
Ing, they met in the pleasant grounds,
there was q smile on her lips.
MRS. Beach has told me all, Mr..
Thornley," she said. How you must
have hated me. Can you forgive me?"
Thornley, looked at her. Something
IN his glance sent the blood into her
cheeks.
"On condition that you-stay a long

And. long before their holiday had
9lapsed, It was recognized that Mr..
Beach had new kind Of mental case
