AFFECT SHORT WELLS

The short fy-away veil Is more pop spondent. I mean the quaint little veil which just covers the nose and which is attached to the hat brim like gath cred flounce. French women find these veils convenient. Once they are ar ranged they need not be touched until the hat is taken off, for they do not get into the way of teacup or indeed of anything else.
 The most popular veil of the present season is made of violet spotted net, with fine black lace border, the lat ter quite narrow. Violet spotted net Is specially becoming to fresh complex ions, quite as becoming as heliotrope tulle, which is saying a good deal
 l have seen fy-away veils in nut brown tulle introduced with good eff feet on rough brown straw hats; violet veils are worn with black, dark blue, purple and pale gray hats.
 Lewis told me the other day that hatter's plush was going to be the material for spring and summer hats. You, of course, realize that hatter's plush is the silky material used to cover mems tall hats.
 At the immediate moment the Parisi- ennes are wearing wide brimmed hats covered with this stiff stuff in con junction with the smartest walking costumes, and it almost invariably happens that the hat is absolutely un- trimmed
 This is a smart fashion and very French. Good hatter's plush is an ex- pensiVe material and the hats in ques- tion, though guiltless of trimming, are fairly costly. The well-known milliner l have just mentioned is of opinion that such hats-in black and ivory white-wll be largely worn in the summer with thin muslin frocks and bright silk sweaters. It will be a very pretty style.
 In several of my recent cles I have spoken of the revival aterest in ostrich feathers, long and short In- deed feathers and feather trimming may be said to be ubiquitous just now On many of the newest evening gowns little clusters of feathers take the place of flowers, at waist or breast, and fringes of feathers appear on the capes and collars of theater and restaurant cloaks.
 A little later on in the year we shall find long feathers of the weeping" order again very fashionable; just now the rage is for short full tips. Lewis is covering the whole crown of hats

gigantic umbrellas. Virginia IS celebrated for the farmhouses built by Washington, Jefferson, Mad ison, and their friends-their hosptable roofs shaded by towering tulip trees ancient live oaks hung with moss. Long Island is noted for the homes of it's caulfower growers with every room open to the breeze and the white, wde-shingled walls set off by feathery locust trees, loaded in June with wisteriake clusters of fragrant white flowers Georgia is renowned for her houses in the Greek style which are gen timely adapted to hot climate by reason of their galleries, or second-story porches, where the family can enjoy every passing breeze and feast their eyes upon the grandest subtropical tree in the world Magnolia grandifora Connecticut has many a clapboarded farmhouse, shaded by white oaks that here when the first white came, while on the lawn may be a rhododendron or mountain laurel, planted by the great grandfa- thers of the present owner In Pennsylvania you can often tell what county you in by a single glance out of the window. If you see every where massive farmhouses of local stone, laid up in Germantown style it is fair wager that you in Bucks, Chester Delaware county. If your eye meets ancient brick houses with porches extending tho full length of each house, da- mond-shaped stone bearing the date of its erec- tion, and odd little projections the slate roof. to keep the snow from falling of in great chunks that may bury person, it is safe guess that you in Lancaster some adjacent county. The great variety of majestic oaks that have brooded for century or more over these ven erable houses proclaims that eastern Pennsylvania Is paradise for trees designed by nature to last through the centuries Even in the state of Oregon. the upto-date apple growers of Hood river are laying the foundations of state style of architecture and gardening with their low houses, screened porches and paths lined with great double garden blooming in a pro- fusion that is impossible in the East Every state will eventually have it's own style of farm archi- lecture and gardening Nothing can stop it, and profit by building and r.anting in the style that will become dominant the centuries roll by.
 It Is natural that should like to have us the trees we love best but nearly all the popular trees unfit for framing view of the home. Take for instance, those that have showy flowers. like the horsechestnut the locust and the empress tree ,auownia; they forever making a litter and should be at distance from the house So, too. with the quckgrowers, like the box elder. the silver maple and the Carolina or Lombardy poplar they go to wreck in storms and their branches fall the house. Perhaps the most Inappropriate is the Norway spruce. Many a house has suffered depreciation of hun dreds of dollars owing to dismal Norway spruces.

FURNITURE IN LIGHT COLOR
Cretcnne Widely Used, and, Most Housekeepers Will Welcome the
 Idea as One of Great Merit.

In no way can a chair, a couch or almost any article of furniture which has become dingy be frightened more easily and inexpensively than by ju- dicious use of cretonne. But cretonne this season Is by no means merely a disguise for the unsightly.
 The shops are showing as the new est thing in bedroom furnishings for the country house whole sets of white or cream enameled wood with fabric panels in every piece. and many sep arate articles similarly decorated serve various purposes. This is an advantageous fashion, for with the aid of few yards of cretonne it is pos sible to transform beyond recognition piece of furniture and make of it an up-to-date novelty and not some thing which has obviously been made over.
 Cretonnes are used in every con- ceivable way this spring. They are no longer confined to the boudoir and the porch, but make their appearance in practically every room in the house. Consequently a wider variety of de- signs has been put forth. There are still the dainty flower and wreath de- signs, but more ingenuity seems to have been expended upon the beauti- full verdure patterns for upholstery purposes and the big. splashy exam pies of Chinese design so effective as hangings in living room or library.
 In the darker hues the heavy cre- tonnes closely resemble tapestry and rival it in beauty of color tone and design They make excellent cover ings for the tireside chair or odd rock CT, are now considered to be in good taste in any informal living room, and cost but fraction of what is asked for tapestry. The more vivid color con- binations contrast we'll with wicker ware. whether plain or in the old ivory or mahogany stain. Wicker tables. muffin stands and tea wagons have centerpieces and trays of the ere tonned covered with glass.

Artificial Flowers for Trimr,ino

Old-fashioned artificial flowers copied after the early Victorian period appear on quite a few of the gowns The idea of placing artificial flowers in the center of group of embroidered foliage. which was used to some eX- tent last fall Is seen again.
 The artificial flowers. which are made of the material of the gown, are crushed, and occasionally further trimmed. In one instance the edges of the petals are embroidered with small jet beads. In great many instances some of the petals are encased in gold net. Martial ct Armand use charming crushed flowers made of net in old colors.
 Regular artificial flowers at the waist line or at the pannier draperies are met with in several instances.

ShneA to Match.

est showings are in colors. There are shoes to match almost every popular shade. Gray. purple, blue, tan, buff and white are the colors shown in the street shoes. The new college boot comes with black patent leather low CT and white top. It has moderate heel. Some of the more attractive eve ming pumps show the effective use of seqrins. Jet trimming on white Is very striking. Narrow fringe is also used on evening slippers. New and dainty are tho cretonne boudoir slippers in Roman stripes.

But next winter those oous are vacant and ugly and next spring the same work must be done and every wear there is llesh outlay or money for the same thing soon the constant repetition of the work gets lnohotohous, and next realize that the effect IS gaudy, for our standards are constantly rising anu what we admired five years ago now seem Ill oau taste. It dawns on us that any beginner can put mower beds in the middle of the lawn and that every beginner will try to make each dollar stand up on edge where everyone can see it. Thus we come to hate show, and to care more Tor privacy, permanence, dignity peace restful- ness, outdoor living. winter comfort, views. play ground for the children, old tree cut flowers in the house all the time, and low cost of main tenance. Why lose money by planting now what you will tear out five years hence, when you know better? Why not anticipate the growth of your own and everybody's good taste so that you will waste no precious years, and your place will grow loveer and more valuable every year?
 The right way is to permanent plants, in stead of temporary ones; and to place them where they will meet every practical need of the family, instead of scattering them for shCw And the Illinois way" is tc meet all the outdoor needs of the family by having 90 per cent of the plant, ing composed of trees and shrubs that grow wild in Illinois. Why Illinois trees? Because they are hardy, and therefore economical to maintain We do not have to test their hardness since nature has adapted them to conditions by expert ments covering tens of thousands of years. More over, want Illinois to look different from all the rest of the world. and Q have noble char acter of its own, The highest ideal that any farm CT can realize is to have profitable farm with permanent buildings and permanent planting. both of which utterly different from those of Europe and as full possible of American and even of state character.
 European farm houses are so different that you can usually tell simply from picture whether they are German. French, Dutch. Italian. or Span ish. The English farmer often lives in house of brick or stone which has sheltered his family for generations In front of 1t stands pair or oaks that have deied the storms Of 300 to 500 years The house Is covered with ivy or with roses which climb to the top of the red-tiled roof The yard is surrounded by hedge of haw- thorn or of holly The Englishman boasts that 'e loves his home more than any other man nv and points to the fact that the English Ian gu ,e is the only that has separate words Tor house" and home"

Petrova Blouse.

Among the new blouses is a most allurinS model called the Petrova tunic. Of course it Is Russian in type and its important feature is an extension below the waist line, which gives the long Russian tunic offect. This extension Is either gathered or circular and falls from trim belt to midway between hip and knee. Worn over a separate skirt of harmonizing material. the new Russian blouse gives the effect of complete cos tune. The idea Is a practical one. for any woman can furnish the sim pie, well-cut skirt and purchase one of these smart blouses to complete a really stunning new frock. A Petrova blouse of Georgette crepe and chiffon velvet is trimmed with gold lace; an- other model, of black chiffon, Is trimmed with gold and blue embroid- cry. Dainty indeed Is one of these blouses of lilac and white striped pus- sy willow silk. with frills at wrist and edge of tunic and a vest of white lace over the lilac chiffon.

and toques with small feathers, and saw the same thing chez Reboux and Carlier. Long hat pins covered with tiny feathers will be very popular this year; hat pins with torpedo heads.
 Small tips are also worn in the hair at the theater, or for a dinner party. This is an effective fashion and spe- cially charming when small black feathers are introduced in coils of fair or powdered hair.
 At recent "opening" a well-known Parisian actress wore an Alfred Stew ems hat, which had the brim covered with sapphire blue suede cloth and the high crown hidden under a weight of silky black feathers
 Her dress was composed of black and blue shot taffeta and she had a loose wrap-coat of chinchilla. She looked charming

The sugar and Norway naples fine trees, but, like all round headed trees, they tend to hide the view of house mere quickly than is commonly realized.
 The ideal tree for framing the view of your house is one that will give enough sunlight and enough shade enough shelter and enough cool ing breeze, to keer family healthy. The only tree that does all these things to perfection is the American elm-not the European. Moreover pair of elms will make pointed or Gothic arch, suggesting highl oofed cathedrals and Gods first temples Unfortunately, the enemies of the elm are multiplying, and if you plant elms you must be willing to stand the expense of yearly spray vase-form elms. They the only that make the Gothic arch, and are more valuable than the other types struggling kinds.
 A pair of oaks will last longer than elms and cost less to maintain. The oaks excel all other trees in nesting close to house and making it look snug and comfortable The common idea that oaks slow growers and hard to trans plant is true only of the white oak The pin, the scarlet, and the red oaks are easily moved, and will overtake naples and other trees that quicker at the start They will last for centuries after the quick-growers' dead. Plant the trees that you know will make your property more valuable every year.
