 WINS A MILLINARY CONTEST

Mrs. Lewis B. Woodruff (Helen smith). in addition to winning fame as the author of a number of success ful books, and then as one of New York.s most beautiful women, has now become winner in hat making contest A number of society women last week turned out a lot of pretty hats to he worn Easter Sunday by little Brooklyn glrls. They say that 'elothes may make the man, but since first the world began hats have made the woman. 3 Ihen 1T ribbons and dewdabs, flowers and fussy frilling can do the worl, there will be just about 150 ravishinplv beautiful little girls in Brooklyn Sun day, the result of a hat trimming ses- sion held on Mrs. Henry L. Burnett's back porch last week.
 The New York Sun Saturday had this mention of the former Birmingham beauty: ''
 The captiousness of two artists turned the hat trimming contest at Mrs. Henry l.. Burnetts into beauty contest yesterday afternoon. Penrhyn StanlaWs and W. Wallace Gilchrist de- clared they would paint nobody but beautiful women, no matter who turned out to be the best millner. So c. ". de Lyon Nieholl, as manager announced a beauty contest with himself as judge. S. Woodruff and Miss E. & Hoyt of Paris. sister-in-law of Senator Clark, the win ners.
 As it turned out MT. Gilchrist who will paint Mrs. Woodruff, would have been perfectly safe. for her hats won frst prize Mrs. Woodruff said she was tiattered, but didn't know how she could find time to sit. as she had two books on the press and was wor<ine, on third, the sixth in two years. 'of course l like to do a few social things, too," she explained q used to be an invalid so l have to make up for lost time. But really lately I have had 10 breathe at night I suppose my starved artistic temperament came ont in hats I always wanted to be a painter"
 The author of "The Lady of the Lighthouse,' whose blond hair and lovely color have put her among Mr. Stanlaws' 10 most beautiful American ns. sighed little over the shortness of life.
 Mrs. Charles P. Fry. Miss Susan sey mour Mrs Theodore W. Stemmler. Mrs. oscar Stillman and Mrs. Henry Doscher won portraits of themselves by Kahlil Gibran. Virginia Haregreaves Wood, R. Hamilton. Leslie Lee and James Francis Brown respectively Miss Yvonne Stemmler received a hat from Wanna makers. Mrs. George Perkins Lawton will be painted by William T. Smedley, who requested the honor.
 Mrs. Newton Adams, who has been in Wannaker's millinery department since her husband met with business re- verses judged the hats with much taste in so far as the artists had left her any leeway. She spent an hour
 with what she declared was $500 worth of very creditable millinery.
 The children of the Sunday kinder garten will come to choose their hats op Saturday so as to be all ready for Easter. Then they will have no excuse for staying away from Sunday school during the summer.

Hail and Welcome Young April!
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

There are days that are longer And
 There are days that are shorter; Put z The first day of April, is the youngest day on the calendar!
 And
 In its keeping there is distilled magic that makes the entire month little spring-bud- scented island--different from any other of the year?
 Don't you think so?
 Or
 Do you belong to the throng who thinks the first day of April means only some thing funny-"April Fools Day.? hope not.
 ..The very common air" as the poet sings, "has generous wings on the first day of young April
 April fills the whole wide world with leve.
 Pity that one who can't be glad the whole day through
 "A Lymph there was in Arcadie
 Who owned crystal Springl' Of course
 Young April hasn't any bearing on tha Lymph or the crystal spring, perhaps,

Mildew in White Clothes

I should like to know if there is any thing that will take mildew out of white clothes. Buttermilk here seems to have something of a foreign nature in it and won't remove the stains.
 MRS. H. P. B." There may be some chemical preserva- tive in the buttermilk that vitiates the effect. l have detected salicylic acid in cream sold as pure in a city creamery. Be that as it may, you may remove the mildew by wetting it with lemon juiee, rubbing into il all the salt it will take up, and laying it in the sun all day for two or three days. wetting hourly with lemon juice. Rinse at night and leave it soak Tn clear water. Dry before renewing the lemon juice and salt next morning
