Of white linen trimmed with brass but
tons and braid, called "the Churchill"
one felt that the navy would soon be
used in the fashions of the day. All
winter we were inundated with fash
ions suggested by the army, and now
the designers have turned to the other
branch of the service, knowing that it
offers many delightful suggestions for
fashions. OF course, the marine cap
was taken up first.
The sketch gives good idea Of how
the smart young girl looks in this cap
as it has been turned out for her use.
It is of dark blue silk striped with
black and at the back is a careless bow
of satin ribbon with short ends. That
is all, but it is quite sufficient for style.
1t takes certain kind of face to wear
it; of that, beware. But If 1t is your
style, then you have a novelty at hand
for the early autumn.
Saved by Breadth.
Even with all its sauciness, it is not
nearly as trying shape as the one that
has no width anywhere. This cap does
give breadth across the top of the head
and that fact alone keeps it from being
impossible for any but the chosen few
who are able to wear any piece of mil
linery that is invented. With a veil it
is admirable for the motor, and motor
ing, like going to Europe, is by no
means restricted to the rich.
A fiat couture is demanded by any
kind Of hat today. because the inside of
the crown is SO small. yet the women
everywhere seemed to have conquered
the difficulties of doing the hair in this
manner. The majority look very well,
indeed, without puffs, curls, pompadour
or marcel wave.
With the new marine cap, it would
not be possible to adjust any of those
curves and bulges in the couture that
once were the delight of the many,
whether they were bought for 20 cents
or grew on the scalp.

pedal Correspondence Of The Star

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. August 1s.-No wonder
that a majority Of women are eager
TO know what is to be the last word
in millinery for the winter. Will the
verdict be given for the small hat, that
ridiculous thing we see in the pictures
and on some women, a hat perched on
top Of q smoothly coiffed head? Or
will we be allowed to wear reasona-
bly, large shape with a brim that
shields the eyes, or, at least, has a
crown that has pretension Of dignity?
The Anglo-Saxon face is quite Diff
ferent from the small. delicately CHS
sled face of the French woman for
whom these styles are invented. True,
there have arisen among US an over
whelming number Of slim little figures
topped by fiower-like faces that never
grew before in this western garden OF
girls, one would say, off-hand, but they
do not represent the mass
The small hat needs so much beauty
beneath It that only the few should
have the vanity to essay 1t.
Passing Strange.
But if it is to be the most fash
ionable hat Of the coming season, then
we will see it on every side, anu prop
ably be astonished that it looks as well
as it does. and again ask ourselves
how the faces are made overnight to
produce the right effect with each sue
ceeding fashion. 1t is passing strange
this fact Could we all make ourselves
over to suit the costume we desire II
we had some secret knowledge that
seems to be in the possession OF the
few?
All that has been said before, especial
ly during the last few weeks whenever
the subject of millinery comes up but it
ia SO important that 1t Is not possible
to avoid similar discussion. for wher-
ever women are foregathered the topic
ts pulled to pieces. 1t is the current
conclusion of such arguments that
women will look their worst this win
ter if this small hat is to be accepted
by the majority.

crepe de chine or some fine materials,
and if the goods is serge, or some other
wool, the shirt waist should be of silk
of linen or lingerie; crepe de chine, too,
lends itself very prettilY to use for
waists with wool frockS.
The very newest waists are plaids
and cross stripes, although lengthwise
stripes will be worn indefinitely and
look far better on a plump figure. This
style of dress is suitable for women of
almost any age and can be made with
a belt and buckle, with braid sash or
girdle or with a silk sash or broad
belt. with loosely crossed ends. These
scarf belts are very popular and are
center of color in a dark or white cos
tune
Where a woman past the college age
wants to make a dressy gown of this
design she should sew braid around all
the edges, add one to three rows of
braid around the bottom of the skirt,
and use a braid girdle and braid orna-
nents on the pockets. Indeed, pockets
made of braid are to be had all ready
to apply to any costume. This is to be
season of braid trimmings and they
enrich the simplest frock. In this case
make the waist of attractive silk or
chiffon with pleated frills on collar
and cuffs.
To obtain this pattern mail 10 cents
in stamps or coin to Lucille Gordon,
care Of The Star. Be sure to state
number of pattern and size wanted,
and give your name and address,.

Just about now, and mamma begins to

thing as attractive as art can make 1t.
This has been a season Of combina-
ton dresses; that is, of gowns which,
by the change of a belt and guimpe,
can be transformed from day into even
ing frocks. For such a gown this pat
tern is admirable. 1t provides a good
model for linen, Bingham, wool or silk,
and will be very smart, indeed, If built

Stir occasionally, that the sugar may

Shave a small quantity of parafiin
into the tumblers before pouring in
the hot jelly. The paraffin will come to
the top and effectively seal the surface
when all is cold. This method is much
easier than melting the paraffin to
pour over the hardened Jelly. 1t is a
good plan to put paper covers over the
pieces just to fit In the top Of the glasses.
Dip in brandy and cover the jelly. Put
on tin covers over this or circular
pieces of paper cut larger than the
glasses and fasten securely over the
edge with library paste or photo mount.
Take an empty spool. such as cotton
thread comes on, and hold 1T in the
middle of the surface of the jelly while
you pour on the melted paraffln to the
required thickness. When the paraffin
hardens around the spool you will
have a handle with which to lift the
paraffin cover and put it back at will.
This is the best and easiest way to
mark jelly glasses sealed with paraf-
fln. Have the labels ready on narrow
slips of paper not quite as long as the
