The Goddess of Fashion appears to
be taking a vacation, or perhaps she
has abdicated; at any rate she is is
suing few edicts. We do not hear
thou shalt" or thou shalt not" and
are left to do as we please, with
world of new designs in hats and
gowns to choose from. They include
many beautiful things.
In the early season there was a
universal vogue for the black velvet
hat. It is a becoming thing, this
black velvet hat, but when ninety-nine
out of hundred women wear it it
becomes monotonous. The demand
has swung away to black hats in
plush and velours and to the dark col
ors that look so we'll with the metal
trimmings and handsome furs and
feathers.
Two hats are pictured here which
are so good in shape and in design
and in every particular that they may
be chosen with the comforting con-
viction that there is nothing better.
One is a moderately wide-brimmed
model, with lines lifting little at the
front and a little more at the back.
It's small, round crown is concealed by
three soft half-plumes mounted over
it. They are topped by one Of those
odd steel ornaments mounted on
stem, which look like nothing on the
earth or in the air above it. Perhaps
this is a part of their fascination.
A hat of this kind must be devel-
oped in materials of excellent quality
and will be beautiful in dark-colored
velvet with plumes ip shades of the
same color, or in black.

gun by vowing that he had lunched in

Old Martha had known him all his
life, but best at the period when he
used to come to nursery tea at Little
ford. She declared she would have
known him anywhere as he was, but
she simply hadn't recognized him in
that photograph with his beard.
Il can see where it's been," said
Martha, looking him in the lower tenn
perate zone. But I'm SO glad you've
had it off, Mr.. Cazalet."
There you are, Blanchie!" crowed
Cazalet you said she'd be disappoint-
ed, but Martha's got better taste"
at isn't that, SIR" said Martha ear
nestly: Its because the dreadful
man who was seen running out of the
drive, at your old home, he had a
beard! It's in all the notices about
him, and that's what's put me against
them, and makes me glad you've had
yours Off"
Blanche turned to him with too ready
a smile; but then she was really not
such a great age as she pretended, and
she had never been in better spirits In
her life.
You hear, Sweep! I call it rather
lucky for you that you we're"
But just then she saw his face, and
remembered the things that had been
said about Henry Craven by the Caza-
let's friends, even ten years ago, when
she really had been a girl.

A pretty turban of plush is shown
with a broad bow of wide striped rib
bon poised at the back. 1t appears to
be tied over an odd extension of the
crown, covered with the plush. which
supports it and adds an entirely new
feature to the shape. A MORE rib
bon is used, having dark and light
stripe. There are many color combi-
nations that will be fine for copy OF
this model.
With all this collection of varied
styles and influences striving to make
themselves felt, the opportunity for
the, individual who knows what to
choose for her own particular style
was never so good. In millinery the
display of pleasing hats is creditable
to the many Independent designers
who have created them. There is moth
ing startling in the two hats shown
here, and nothing freakish. They rep
resent legitimate types of real mil
linery, with novelty in the handling of
trimmings to further commend them

All at once a liking for little
boleros is making itself felt in the
speciality shops that deal in waists,
and in the departments of the stores
that deal in everything women want
or imagine they want. And the sup
ply of small jackets that has sprung
into evidence includes those made of
lace, of net, of sheer fabrics, of silk
and of yarns.
A little jacket of batiste is shown
in the picture. 1t is designed to be
worn over a light-colored evening
gown or afternoon gown, but for the
purpose of bringing out the pattern. it
is photographed over dark street
dress. 1t fits the figure rather snugly.
with shaped underarm seams. and has
a high turnover collar at the back.
A very fine pattern in eyelet embroid-
cry trims the bottom, and a narrow
edging of filet lace is stitched on all
the edges of the jacket.
Silk muslin, crepe de chine, Georg-

cite crepe, and chiffon, as we'll as the
metal gauzes, suggest themselves for
more fanciful boleros. Fine laces run
with silver or gold threads that out
line the pattern, or the metallic lace3,
will make lovely little jackets and add
new fnery by way of variety to the
evening or afternoon gown or to the
dance frock.
Even an amateur or a beginner in
needlework ought to have no trouble
in making one of these fascinating ac-
cessories of dress. There are only
two seams to sew at each side, the
shoulder and underarm seam. They
are so short that it will not tax the
patience to fell them by hand. Hand
work is to be recommended for all
these small garments and is impera-
tive when the metal laces are used.
If you are considering what to make,
as an acceptable holiday gift for some
friend, the little bolero presents few
difficulties and many charms.

Thankful for Past BLESSINGS.

In considering things to be thank
full for so few of us lay claim on sthe
past. This is a serious fault of hui
man nature, and it is the special bane
of growing old"-the fact that we
can't have and do the things we used
to have and do. This is is pure greed
mess. Why not know when we have
had enough? Let me have the 10y
of recording that l do. Let me hasten
to proclaim that l have lived full
life-and just let me ask again that.

Humble Thankfulness.

Do you give thanks for this or that?-No.
God be thanked,
I am not grateful
In that cold, calculating way, with bless
ings ranked
AS one, two, three. four-that would be
hateful!
only know that every day brings good
above
My poor deserving;
I only feel that on the road of life true
love
Is leading me along and never swerv-
ing.
Whatever turn the path may take to left
or right,
1 think it follows
The tracing of a wiser hand, through
dark or light,
Across the hills and in the shady hol-
lows.
Whatever gift the hours bestow or great
or small,
I would not measure
AS worth a certain price in praise, but
take them all
And use them all, with simple, heart
felt pleasure.

"Pope'S Size"

A curious item in the trade slang Of
hosiers Is the term "pope's SIZE" ap-
piled to vests. They classify the scale
of chest measurements for these as:
Small mems. 80 inches; slender mems,
"a inches; mems. SO inches; pope's, 80
inches; out size. AZ inches.
The origin of this term. which has
been current for nearly e century, was
discussed some years ago in Notes
and Queries, when it was stated on
good authority that it had no connec-
ton with the successors of st. Peter.
1t appears that the head of an old
firm of West end hosiers, Messrs
Pope & Plante, ordered this size to be
made specially for his own personal
use, and the manufacturer called it
after him for want of better name

She really was one still, for in these
days it is an elastic term, and in
Blanche's case there was no apparent
reason why it should ever cease to
apply, or to be applied by every decent
tongue except her own.
Much the best tennis-player among
the ladies of the neighborhood, she
drove an almost unbecomingly long
ball at golf, and never looked better
than when padding her old canoe. or
punting in the old punt. And yet, this
wonderful September afternoon, she
did somehow look even better than at

either or any of those congenial pur-
suits, and that long before they
reached the river; in the empty house,
which had known her as baby, child
and grown-up girl, to the companion
of some part of all three stages, she
looked a more lustrous and lovelier
Blanche than he remembered even of
old.
But she was not really lovely in the
least; that also must be put beyond
the pale of misconception. Her hair
was beautiful, and perhaps her skin,
and, in some lights, her eyes; the rest
was not. 1t was yellow hair, not gold
en-, and CaZalet would have given all
he had about him to see it down again
as in the oldest of old days; but there
was more gold in her skin, for so the
sun had treated it; and there was
even hint or CLINT Tin certain lights,
be it repeated) of gold mingling with
the pure hazel of her eyes. But in
the dusty shadows of the empty house,
moving like a sunbeam across its bare
boards, standing out against the discol-
ored walls in the place of remembered
pictures not to be compared with her,
it was there that she was all golden
and still girl.
They poked their noses into, and
they had a laugh in every corner and
so out upon the leafy lawn, shelving
abruptly to the river. Last of all there
was the summer schoolroom over the
boat-house, quite apart from the house
itself; scene of such safe yet reckless
revels; in it's very aura late Victorian.
1t lay hidden in ivy at the end of a
now neglected path; the bow-win-
dows overlooking the river were
framed in ivy, like three matted, whis-
kered, dirty, happy faces; one. with
it's lower sash propped open by a
broken plant-pot, might have been
grinning a toothless welcome to two
once leading spirits of the place.

that sash up altogether; then he sat
