Millinery that is grave and dignified

either all black or all white or of the
two combined. The problem the de-
signer faces now is that Of avoiding
too son1ber millinery without getting
away from that which is grave. The
all-white hats of Grape are lovely, but
not practical for those who cannot af-
ford many Grape hats. inasmuch as.
any white soils quickly. Just now the
combination CT black and white is in
favor, but even the aii-black hats of
Grape are saved from being gloomy by
the beauty Of the crape-made flowers
and ornaments that adorn them.
Two elegant hats which illustrate
the present vogue perfectly are pic
tured here. One Of them has a mod

The mildly blouse is one of those

up so well with the athletic girl that
it has come to stay. Whole establish

keen judge when it comes to choos-
ing sports clothes fitted to hersneeds
and style They seem to have had
the lions share of attention lately
if we include those designed for skat-
ing and for the benefit of southern
tourists
Among the costumes, short, fiaring
skirts in wide stripes worn with plain
coats in the color of the dark stripes
are very chic. The circular cut of
these skirts gives snappy variety in
the direction of the stripes, which
manage never to run straight up and
down.
Checks, in strong contrast, are of
much the same character and are
worn, like the striped skirts with
plain coats. Velveteen and jersey
cloth, serge and gaberdine are the fa-
vored fabrics for sports clothes. The
winter resorts will show how strong
an influence these styles will have on
those of the coming season.

able linen or cotton fabrics, usually
in white. The. model shown is of
heavy butchers linen and is banded
with blue. The front is fastened with
blue lacers at the neck opening.
The pockets are laid in shallow box
plaits with the blue banding stitched
to the center plait, and they are roomy
enough to be practical. They are set
on before the blouse is hemmed up,
and are made stronger by this arrange
ment. The sleeves are finished with a
deep hem.
This design is simple, but very
smart. It would be hard to improve
upon it in any way.

Jolly playmate once you were
Amber eyes and datl1-brown fur,
Fiaunting tail and friendly spring
Merry, tiny, living thing!

Showed your hiding place In games;
Like lions in book
Sometimes cleaned your Kittens, look.
Now that YOU that were so gay
Are dead. lonely make n play
Playing that Your silky ears
Hear the music of the spheres.
Or that destiny at dice
Has thrown YOU into paradise, -
And st. Peter with a grin
Welcomed furry Peterkin,
DO you pat with puzzled paw
on the tables of the law.

Perhaps you leap the flaming bars
To play at ball with wandering stars,
Running back at last to purr
While the angels pat your fur.

So from my own thoughts | hide
How you looked the day you died.
