Now that the return Of spring lures
everyone to the out-of-doors, devotees
Of motoring are happily busy getting
together their motor togs." Coats
and headwear for rain-or-shine driv-
ing must be considered from every
point of view, and let no one think
that becomingness is not as impor-
tant in motor apparel as in any other.
But this is hint hardly needed for
the buyer of headwear. Women are
accustomed to placing becomingness
as the paramount essential when
choosing any kind of millinery. In
the choice of motor hats there is so
great range this spring that one
can afford to be exacting and to look
until the very best model is found.
Two motor bcnnets are pictured
here that may be depended upon for
good service. They are made of silk.
One of them boasts brim and is quite
like hat in shape. 1t is developed
In pongee with brim.rever turning up
at the back over the folded-over
crown. A silk cord and fan of fringed
braid supply the decoration and these
are supplied in any color demanded.
The bonnet at the left of the picture
is made in changeable taffeta piped
with dark color in the same silk.

ney. Many of these coats have been
designed this season, and they have
been enthusiastically welcomed. They
are shown in tans, grays. black and
white mixtures, and in checks. In
these neutral colors they go well with
frocks or skirts in any color.
One of the newest and smartest of
coats of this kind is shown in the
picture. 1t is cut with almost
straight lines at the front and back
and trimmed in braid and buttons
with a crisp military precision. At
each side. a little below the waist

giving the desired flare, and the

back. is another concession to de-

The skirt to match is plain, fitted
about the hips and with very con-
servative flare from hip line to bot
tom edge. 1t Is little longer than
ankle length, but short enough to be
q correct tailored model.

swattinq the Fly In Korea.

The Japanese administration of
Korea has adopted a queer but very
effective method of stamping cut dis
ease due to the common fly, says the
London Globe. The Anglo-Saxon slo-
gan of Kill that fly" would prob
ably not stimulate the imagination Of
a people which regards disease as in
evitable, so the administration has hit
on the idea of buying flies from the
populace, and an illustration in the lat

ress in Korea bears the enticing head
line. Purchasing flies from natives by

Mar Makes John Bull SociabIe.

War is making the British public
sociable. Travellers, who in times OF
peace would occupy the same COM
partments for hours at time without
exchanging a word, now start conver-
sations without an introduction. This
sudden breaking loose from the Vic
torian spirit of reserve and aloftness
has caused the Times to comment edl-
torially on the change, which it calls
one of the minor results of the war.

New Towels.

Some Of the newest Turkish towels
have an initial quite four or five inches
long, worked in French knots at the
left Of the towel, above the border, in
stead of in the center, as is usually
done. For a mans use towels worked
with these large letters are very good
looking.
Among the newest designs for small
guest towels is one of a fine damasA Of
a very small pattern without woven
border. The latter is hemstitched on
and consists of an inch-wide hem OF
colored linen, pink or blue.

towel itself in color to correspond
with the hem.

PATRIOTIC Families,

Early in the war it was announced
that one German general, in active
service, had ten sons at the front.
Something very close to this record
is now reported from France, where
ten brothers from La Vendee region
are with the colors. Another remark

eight sons and two sons-in-law in the

Sprlnq Waists.

Spring waists are both novel and
wearable. The most noticeable fea

collars and the return of jabots and

good news, for never did women look
more attractive than when they wore
jabots and ruffles of crisp linen and
