there is every reason to congratulate
their creators. After study of them

modes" thereto.
The street costumes are cleverly
shaped, comfortable, and clean cut.
Their tailoring is a thing of faultless
beauty. Skirts are short and just
wide and fiaring enough for comfort
In walking and for style. Jackets and
coats are easy and smart, improving
the figure which wears them properly.
One may have a choice as to length,
as they are shown in both long and
short models.
Materials are durable, old favorites
being to the fore in the smartest
garments. Decorations are few and
elegant, buttons and straps and the
introduction of outside pockets pro-
viding most of them. But it is In
amazing cleverness in cutting both
skirts and coats that this season has
distinguished itself above others.

THE motor bonnet Of silk continues
i to stand at the head of the list as
the most practical of things designed
for the headwear of autoists. From
the standpoint of comfort, service, low
cost, becomingness, and the ease with
which it can be made, the silk motor
bonnet has no rival possessing all Of
its advantages.
There are, however, many bonnets
that combine the soft millinery braids,
like those of hemp or silk fiber, with
silk in their construction, that are
just as durable and becoming. By
means of the braid the element of
novelty in design enters into their
composition, but they are less simple
to make than the silk bonnets. The
latter will not tax the ingenuity of
the home milliner at all.
Taffeta silk is the most satisfactory
weave to use. It's body gives the bon
net a chance to erlain shapely; it
sheds the dust easily ana it is made
In most appropriate and pleasing col
Drs. Patterns by which to cut the
body of bonnets are furnished by any
of the standard pattern companies.
Usually only about yard of taffeta
and a small strip of crinoline are
needed, except when plaitings of the
silk are used for trimming. An extra
allowance must be made for this. Ma
chine stitching, with silk thread, helps
out in the finish and decoration Of the
all-silk bonnets.
The veil of washable chiffon holds
Its own with the silk bonnet as the
best friend of the motorist. Chiffon
wells are so essential that they form
D part Of the design in most bonnets
and are always reckoned with, either
rs a part of the decoration or, an ac-
resSory.

pacing excitedly to and fro between

AT hast, during an interval in the
game, he approached his captain, who
was playing center forward.
II say, Jack. you might come into

Fashionable Goods Not Wanted.


That Latin-Americans insist on hav-
ing just the kind of article that suits
their taste is illustrated by an incident
in Guatemala. An old gentleman in
the interior, large ranch owner, had
always been used to a certain kind Of
necktie, and asked a local house to
buy a number of them for him. The
house ordered several from an Ameri-
can concern, but the latter wrote back
that that kind of necktie had been out
OF date for 20 years, and sent several
OF the latest design. These were re-
fused. however, the old kind was OBJ
tanned from Europe, and the American
house lost what might have been an
opening wedge to a good trade.

CHILDREN SHOWED IT
Effect of Their Warm Drink In the
Morning.

81 year ago was a wreck from cof-
fee drinking and was on the point OF
giving up my position in the school
room because Of nervousness.
Il was telling a friend about it and
she said. We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such COM
fort to have something we can enjoy
drinking with the children
II was astonished that she would
allow the children to drink any kind
of coffee, but she said Postum was
not coffee. but most healthful drink
for children as well as for older ones,
and that the condition of both the chill
dren and adults showed that to be
fact.
II was In despair and determined
to give Postum a trial, following the
directions carefully. It was a decided
success and was completely won by
Its rich delicious favor.
"In q short time l noticed decided
improvement in my condition and kept
growing better month after month,
until now / am healthy, and do my
work in the school room with ease and
pleasure. I would not return to nerve
destroying coffee for any money"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to
MELVILLE" in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled. 15c and Csc packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
In cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious beverage
Instantly. 30c and soc tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost per cup about the same.

Several special kinds of hats appear
among the spring showings of motor
headwear, among them exquisite cro-
cheted hats of silk fiber braid, and
patent leather hats. The last are
wholly rainproof. But the crocheted
hats, and silk bonnets like those pc
tured here, are not much damaged by
rain. When the silk bonnet has
served it's day it can be replaced for
SO little money and is altogether so at
tractive that it is likely to remain
favorite.
