Fashions in
Engagement Rings.

DEGREES regarding styles. One can draw
away from the popular stone, or the
popular setting, and not feel the need of
apology. Frequently an engagement ring
is especially designed for the girl whose
hand it is to adorn. this particularly where
the fiance is interested in things of art
and has his own ideas on the subject.
That fad affords an additional pleasure
not only to the recipient of the gift, but
to the designer and giver. The bride-elect
who tells her friends that her ring was
planned in it's making by the only man
in the world usually feels a little added
glory thereby. Again. the ring is one
brides Of generations past. and, needless
to say, the beauty Of the old-style setting
is never tampered with to At In with more
modern ideas Of the way that best brings
out the perfection Of stone !; that, too.

beguile the people who are running
away from the snow into spending
their pennies on new hats that the
windows blossom out with straw hats
on the day after the new calendars are
hung on the wall.
All of this is sane behavior: but when

liners, seeing in this caprice a chance

month. imported from Paris every man.
ner of hot-weather hat, then the whole
world suddenly took it into its head
that this was the right thing to do.
X x
in rushing the season like this. By
the time May arrives, with its sunshine
in climates that are given over to cold
winters, there is nothing left that is
new or enticing in the way of hats. and
one has the consciousness of exploiting
straw and roses during tie days when
every change in the skies meant
weather that made such a hat ridicu-
lous.
women want straw hats in the first
month of the new year, they're going
to have them, and If they feel that they
would rather wear summer hats for nine
months in the year though they are
the most perishable form of headgear,
nothing will stop them from doing it.
Theirs is the will and theirs is the
purse, and they find hundreds of mer-
chants who will encourage them in this
caprice to the extent of bankruptcy.
The fact that the milliners took up
satin for several shapes in the new mil
linery will contribute toward more sea-
sonableness of headgear this winter
pecially If it is in black or in a dark
color. as a relief and offset to the
black velvet hats that have been worn
so unremittingly that one began to
think that the milliners had lost all
power of originality in choosing fabrics
There have been several seasons in
which black velvet dominated, but
the last six months. At any forgather-
ing of women. the black velvet hat was
as seemingly necessary to the costume
as the steel helmet to the soldier
Shapes differed, ornamentation varied
but the hat was black velvet. and on
this fabric were rung the slight
changes that the milliners invented.
Women do not tire of black velvet
hats any more than they tire of blue
serge suits and frocks. They are the
bread and water of fashions. The only
j time that the velvet hat grows weari-
some in the eyes of the average woman
is when the first SHOWS fall and the
fashionables turn their attention to the
pines. Then the average woman wants
to discard velvet and get anything she
can as substitute; and today, satin is
wisely offered as compromise between
winter and summer millinery.

women actually kept TO the cohNen-

They retained satin and velvet. chlIiol

There were whole generations OF
women who divided their clothes into
two neat piles of sheep and goats
using the latter for the sterner duties
of life and keeping the former for ITS
pleasure hours. These times did not
last for more than half generation, II
that. but they appeared often enough IN
the scheme of things to keep women
sanely balanced as to the relation De-
tween costumery and opportunity
There has always run a thread OF
sanity and wisdom through certain
classes of women, regarding the oi-
vision of their clothes. and aitnough
we of the hour may laugh at the idea
of ones Sunday best, there may have
been far more wisdom in that kind or

Il is foolish to sigh over the good old
days when a woman was not compelled
through social emergencies, to keep in
her best harness from breakfast to
midnight.
Much of the preaching that is hurled
against women today in the matter of
choosing clothes is their perverse habit
of turning the calendar upside down.
This was considered rather amusing
when ii began, about a dozen years
ago. Straw hats in February were
rarely worn at that time, but the in

milliners needed the request. After a

Mrs. Parsons is to speak on "Sox and
Feminism"-a mysterious caption or
title which piques the fancy. Both she
and her subject will interest her audi

the existing order of social conven-
tions, she is one of the most attrac-

to turn upside down a SNUG, self-sat-

things
She is handsome in rather icily reg

a soft. low voice. clear diction, dresses
extremely well, is quite athletic, an in
trepid traveller. has written several
notable books on her line of thought on
which she is such an authority that
she gives lectures in universities-in
short, she is a charming specimen of
the new superwoman, a type which the
twentieth century seems likely to
evolve.

Knitting of Old and Now.
IFrom the Hariford Times.l

From the Hartford TlmeSl
In grandmother day every girl was
taught to knit, but most of the knitting
actually was done by the older women.
supposed to be possessed of greater
leisure. Knitting, with the four fine
steel needles and fine yarn then used,
was a slow process. Even a stocking
was the work of weeks, according TO
the time per day devoted. 1t might be
added that when tapered and "toed' it
was stocking recognizable as such
and not mistaken for either helmet or
a mitt. Those were the days when
knitting was q business, not an advent
ure or a freak of fashion.
Grandmother sat by the firesde, and
her needles clicked through the daylight
hours. She would hardly have felt
justified in taking her knitting to
church. Her defendants seem to have
gone daft over what she took calmly.
So we meet the children, with their
shining morning faces, knitting on the
way to school
We note the society woman knitting
at the opera or the play, or perhaps in
her motor. and even on the street and
in steam cars. The devotee of the
movies watches the unfolding pictures
while her fingers work automatically on
in the darkness. Young and old of the
female persuasion are knitting sedu-
lousy, almost frantically, while even
males, with overmuch leisure are sus-
pected of yielding to the fascination Of
the point and the yarn and the stitches.
A mass of garments of one sort or an
other, some with form and comeliness
and use, some without, is going to be
the result.
The height of the present wave will
doubtless pass by, but it will leave
many with useful knowledge and profit
able habits. while something is bound
to come out of this that in some manner
can be utilized for wear. Four needles
of our younger days have given way to
two.
