LAST WORD IN RIBBON STYLES
Matters of Importance Which Women
viii Do Well to Keep in
the Memory.

Watch out for velvet ribbons. They
are to be used very freely this spring
and summer, for dress trimmings.
Also be on the lookout for taffeta
ribbons in narrow styles not over an
inch and one-half wide with corded
edges and rather thin texture.
These will be broadly used and espe-
eially smart in the new colorings.
In the millinery field. the vogue for
ribbon trimmings will follow that
which now exists for vegetable trim
mings.
Plaided effects will enter as well as
satin ribbons in black and In black
and white effects. s"'-''
It is possible for hat trimmings to
become very dependent upon ribbon
trimmings this season.
The band and streamer styles are
indicated as we'll as brlm facings of
ribbons.
BengalIne and voile ribbons are also
on the taps.
Embroideries of narrow velvet rib

No Profit in Irish SUGAR seets.

While sugar beets can be success
fully grown in Ireland. writes Consul
Wesley Frost. from Queenstown, their
culture would probably not be profit
able, according to a statement Just
issued by the head of the department
of agriculture and technical instruc.
ton for Ireland. The fact has been
established that normal price for
sugar beets will yield less per acre
than the normal prices for potatoes
or mangels. AS the sugar beet indus
try would not be successful under the
ordinary conditions OF peace. the de.
partment does not feel prepared to
take, directly or indirectly, any re.
sponsibility for advising Irish farmers
to grow beet root" It is added that
whatever may be the results of Eng
lands exclusion OF sugar. therefore. in
Scotland and England. it seems safe
to assume that sugar production will
not be developed In Ireland.--New
York Times.

NOT HARD TO CLEAN HATS
Little Need to Despair When Matter
of Renovation Becomes Press
ing Necessity.

A quick and effective way to clean
white felt hats is to make a paste of
flour and gasoline, rub 1t into the hat
and hang 1t in the air. When dry 1t
will look just like new, with all dust
and finger marks gone.
To clean white plumes, take one
quart OF gasoline and divide 1t into
two parts. just a little more In one
part than in the other Take one cup
Of -four and mix with the larger part.
then shake the plume thoroughly In
this part and rinse 1t in the smaller
part. Shake well in the air to dry
and to destroy the odor Of the gaso-
line. The tinsel braids and ribbons
that are so much used at present can
be cleaned or refreshed by washing
them with toothbrush that has been
dipped first in suds and then In am
monia.
A good way to clean children's bon
nets made from Angora wool is to dust
talcum powder through them. rubbing
them In the hands as IL washing. Lay
them away for half a day, then remove
all traces of powder by shaking. They
will be as white and fluffy as when
new.

NOT FOR THE STOUT
SHORT, FULL SKIRTS ADAPTED
FOR SLIM FIGURES
Average Woman Of Middle Age Will
Find 1t Hard to Wear the Coming
Styles-one Of the New
Picture Hats,

Although the outline OF the moment
cannot be said to be early Victorian"
because of the generous dimensions Of
the waist, 1t is yet true that from the
waist down the newest outline recalls
the quaint fashions which were in vo-
que when the great Queen Victoria
was young girl.
There is the same very short. and
very full skirt and-more often than
not-the same shapeless coatee which
opens in front over a little lace or tulle
chemisette.
1t may be said at once that the
gowns of the immediate future will be
exceedingly attractive when worn by
just the right girl OF woman, but 1t is
hard to see how they can be made
possible for the average woman of
thirty-five or forty.
OF course, 1t is true that our dress
makers are clever at arranging and al
tering existing styles to suit individual
forms, but at the same time the fact
remains that very short. full skirt
can never look really well on a stout
figure.
The illustration shows one of the
new picture hats made of white vel
vet. The fiat brim is double and the
trimmings consist of y quaint cockade
made Of black MORE ribbon and sable.
This model has been carried out in
dark blue mirror velvet and also in

mother and let me talk to you for a
little while"

of her touch and the quickness Of her
ear. Alas, in this delicately organized

so. What Joys are left US must come
in other ways; love unblessed must
be put aside resolutely and forever"

itself again at her side; but when the
young girl spoke it was with unex-
