moderately full at the hem, with little
fullness at the top, and the coat could
hardly be more simple. Any OF the

Buttons, important items in the fin

with plain ratine and with other plain

one-piece dresses and for making the

A suit like that in the picture pre-

one Of the several bright colors that
appear in the coat, or it may be of
gray. tan, or white. The choice of
color rests with the wearer, since the

The little miss must be supplied
with sunbonnets and sunhats for play
during the warm days of midsummer
and with something pretty for the
times when she is on dress parade.
Here are shown three hats, selected
| because of their good style and pre-
scented because they may be success
fully made at home at a considerable
saving in cost. These are among the
hats that anyone who knows some
thing Of sewing may undertake.
All Of the hats pictured are made
on frames of wire, to be bought ready
made. The frame selected is to be
covered with very thin cotton or silk
material. The top of the crown is GOV
cred with a circular piece cut large
enough to extend part way down the
side crown where it is tackled to the
wires. Next, bias strip is cut wide
enough to stretch over the under and
upper brim and it is seWed to the
wire at the base of the crown. Finally
| q HAS strip is smoothed about the
side crown, joined at the back and
sewed to wires in the frame. This
| makes q foundation for the lace or
| braid covering.
The hat at the center, after the
frame has been prepared as described,
| ia covered with narrow val lace ruffies.
| The under brim may be faced with
chiffon or crepe in a pale color, fin
ished with a frill of lace at the edge.
BEGINNING at the middle of the back
brim the lace ruffies are sewed in a
continuous strip about the hat until
the center of the top crown is reached.

herself, almost with blush.
= But day after day and week after

of that interloper," her father fused
and stormed, and objected. Then one
day he burst all bounds of reason.
Alicia, busy reading, heard him utter
a growl of choler and rush out on the
street. From the open window she
watched and listened.
Steel standards had been put up at
all the street corners and it was gen
orally known that the various thor
oughfares of the town were to be re-
named. A man with an open chart
in his hand came along, followed by
a. wagon bearing innumerable sheet
iron signs with names painted on
them.

the signs in charge. You see, the
town decided to have all east and

and south, avenues. The streets are
to be named after representative cltl-

private watts FOR their exclusive
use, or that men Of certain
neighborhoods may want to CO

for their convenience in dipping
their cattle, therefore, any one
desiring information on the sub

tain same without cost by ad-
dressing the u. S. Bureau OF
