Although there is no end of variety the small-brimmed hat promises to continue as favorite At least five out of six of all the hats shown may be relied upon to carry a soft, moder- ately large crown upon gently droOp- ing brim.

This last item in the costume is decidedly new in style and one sees this Spanish idea in evidence wherever the new millinery modes are displayed.,
 The hat is made of velvet over a frame having fiat brim and a soft, puffed crown. A narrow band of vel vet encircles the crown at it's base. Small silk-covered balls are set about the brim-edge and two sprays of flow CTS, in vivid-colored velvet, set in dark foliage, are applied fiat to the brim. It is posed at a saucy angle on the head by means of a bandeau,- which lifts it at the left side. A scarf of soft silk is draped over the bandeau and finished with loop and two pointed ends that hang toward the back. They are weighted with the lit tie balls set about the point

Embroidered Dress.

A very attractive dress for a child is made in one piece: A. collar and bolero effect are gained by means of embroidery work done in outline stitches and French knots. If the work is done with colored thread on white linen or fine pique, the two features stand out more prominently. A crushed girdle of linen to match the color of thread used for embroid- cry is placed rather far below the nat ural waist line.

Use Aeroplanes to Hunt Seals.
 Difficulty experienced this past sea son in locating seal herds in northern waters has caused the owners of seal ing ships to give serious considers tion to employing aeroplanes in next years hunt. These craft of the air, they believe, can scout more cheaply and with .less waste of time than the sealing ships themselves. Small aero planes. designed especially for the purpose, are looked upon as entirely feasible.
