Knitted Sport Hats.

Knitted sport hats are the fad this
fall. And after all, if one can knit
a war helmet one ought to be able to
manage new golf hat. Whole hats
of knitted worsted are mounted over
buckram frames in sailor or mushroom
shape, afrl some young women, fancy
ing the special shapes Of their summer
sport hats, are knitting hard to get
them covered. The sides of the crown
can be covered with a straight strip of
knitting like broad ribbon band, but
1t is harder to manage the circular
strip for the brlm covering and fac.
ing, and the circle that covers the top
of the crown. Those who find the prob
lem of knitting a hat cover too diff
cult can abandon it and make a GRO
cheted hat, which is great deal
easier.

WOMEN WIN IN WASHINGTON
Supreme Court CurtaiIs Hubby's Power
to Dispose of Goods Without
Wife's Consent.

No more is the married man of
Washington absolute head of the fami
ly. He shares that post with the wife
of his heart so far as the disposal of
community personal property is con-
cerned. Man was denoted from his
high estate and his authority curtailed
by Il recent decision of the state SUI
preme court, which held that the
Mrs" of the household has an equal
share in the personal property and
must be consulted before it can be
transferred.
The decision was rendered. says the
Spokane Chronicle, In the case of
man named Steel, who was found
guilty of alternating the affections of
another mans wife. Judgment was
rendered against him and the question
of using community property to satisfy
the debt was brought before the tri-
bunal. Chief Justice Ellis, with the
concurrence of six associate judges,
reversed former decisions which have
been the basis of law on this point for
y
that the community personal property
is liable only for those debts contract
ed for the community and in the com
munity interests.
Under former decisions the power of
the husband over community property
was absolute, except that he could not
will away more than half, the other
half going to the wife at his death. He
could mortgage, sell or diSsipate the
family personality without the consent
of his wife. The furniture could he
sold over her head to pay the debts
of a drunken husband. A judgment
for a husbands wrong conduct could
be collected from her half of the per-
S0nal property as well as his. Now
the husband is no more than an agent

The helpful artists in dress will ex.
plain to women, with intelligent pa
tience, that any kind of color can be
managed in a costume if it is not
placed next to the skin. 1t is for this
reason, and this alone, that those who
deal in evening gowns have made an
artistic success in choosing the most
difficult color for the skin, If they so
wish, and then building a bodice of
tulle or crystals that rests against the
skin of the neck without doing it any
harm.
The fashion which was exploited In
Paris at the August openings and
which is already in America, of wear
ing a separate evening bodice with a
brilliant skirt, is sure to succeed be-

ing with balls of colored wool is
thrown recklessly over the background
and the effect always catches the eye.
Taking this as the foundation of the
work that is being done by the Paris
dTeSsmakers, we can build ourselves
up into some sort of colOrful picture
that will catch the attention wherever
we display ourselves.
A dark blue gown Is nothing but a
dark blue gown to those who know
nothing of the possibilities of combin-
ing it with something vivid; but when,
against the midnight sky surface is
put a design of the Dakota Indians,
done in wildly colored wooden threads,
then the dark blue gown takes to
itself gayety which it has lacked.
1t is quite true that the designers in
Paris will also mingle opposing colors
through the use of double faced mate
rails, but they are evidently deter
out Of the color scheme in dress by
using primitive embroidery against a
sOmber surface.
Colored Crystals Used.
In the new gowns there will be as
much COlOred crystal work as cOlored
worsted embroidery. 1t looks as though
the crystals will be given over to the
evening costumery and the worsteds
to. the street clothes. Only few of
the French dressmakers have put
Sequins on clothes, but each and all
have taken up cOlored bead work with
enthusiasm and exploited it with all
part of the American Indian as well as
his Southern ancestors.
Lanvin, for example, makes a black
satin gown for informal evening wear
that is nothing but series of straight,
primitive panels falling over a slim,
tight, transparent skirt of periwinkle
blue chiffon. The edges of this skirt
are beaded and fringed with periwin-
kle crystals, in the fashion with which
Americans are peculiarly familiar. The
bodice is SHINY built, of black satin,
opening over panel front of the blue
chiffon and crystals, and the long,
straight sleeves which are not full, but
hang far away from the arm like a
panel and are negligently caught into
the wrist by tiny bracelet of crystal
and chiffon, are made Of the blue
weighted with great tassels and frin-
ges of periwinkle crystals.
Both Premet and Worth have adopt
ed a smashing touch of color on a
dark gown, in the way of broad sash.
Premet ties hers in a big bow at the
left side of the back, giving something
of the effect Of q One-sided hustle, and
Worth takes a width of gorgeous ma
terial and makes low wasted girdle
of it on black or gray gown.
Smoke gray afternoon and evening
frocks have flaming red, deep blue and
emerald green sashes, slightly below
the normal waistline, made of chiffon
or tulle, heavily fringed and tasseled
at the end with colored crystals.

daily bringing before us the impor-
lance OF food supply. Meat is a popu-
lar food because of its flavor, due to
certain substances, called extractives.
Ihese eXtractives are in no sense nutri-
uous, but have stimulating effect
upon the appetite and digestive Or
gans, so that they are valuable aids in
the digestion of foods. Too much meat
eating, however, dulls the taste for
milder, less highly favored foods, as
candy spoils the appetite of the child
for plain bread and butter.
One reason for the popularity of
meats, such as steaks and chops, is
that they may be cooked and served in
few minutes. Meat being the main
dish, other things having secondary
Importance, helps to solve the every
day problem of what to have for din
ner.
If the purse is ample there is no
reason why we should exclude meat
from our tables; but once a day for
dinner is often enough to serve. In
many experiments carried on by stu
dents it has been shown that q de-
crease of meat to One-Sixth of the
usual amount has made an actual in
crease in their capacity for physical
endurance.
Our faith in the strengthening prop
erty Of meat has no doubt come down
to us from our ancestors who from
necessity lived largely on meat.
We know by observation and statis-
tics that the amount of meat con-
sumed in our country is gradually be-
ing reduced and everybody concerned
is better in health for such restric-
tons.
AS meat prOteins are particularly
liable to putrefaction in the intestinal
tract, these products through the ac.
tivity of bacteria. are often poisonous,
and when absorbed into the system
give rise to hosts of ills.
The foods which may take the place
of meat supplying the body with all
that it needs to repair waste and give
heat and energy, are milk, eggs, cheese,
nuts and peas and beans. BY using
these foods and cutting down the meat
allowance the health will be better
and the purse heavier.

Help to Save

In this time of high cost of living, ev-
erybody should use all possible means to
prevent waste and to help save food. No
one means can be more effective than a
vigorous campaign to eXterminate rats
which destroy over two hundred million
dollars worth of foodstuffs annually Keep
garbage in rat-proof cans, stop up their
holes and above all eXtermnate them
with Stearns' Paste, which can be bought
for few cents at any store. A two ounce
box will usually rid a house or barn of
every rat, 1t destroys mice, coCkroaChes
and waterbugs as well. Adv

Gay Colors Seen
In New Clothes

New York.-It is often said that the
fashion experts dwell too much upon
line and material and are given to ig-
noring the extraordinary value of col
ors.
The charge is true. At least, the
truth of it dominates the majority of
0reSsmaking houses and is present in
the majority of wOmen's minds. Color
is in reality so vastly important that
1t should rule every department of
dress. There are colOrists who over
estimate its value to women, and they
are the ones who actually brighten the
majority into a conservatism that
often borders on the ugliness.
The trouble with the artists lies in
the fact that they do not seem to have
any tenderness or courtesy toward the
coloring of the woman who is to wear
the garment. They assimilate and put
into juXtapoSition colOrs that have ex-
traordinary beauty in themselves, but
when they are placed next to the hui
man skin, hair and eyes, they kill what
the artist at the expense of the woman
in a way that is not fair. The gown
is predominant; its beauty draws all
eyes. The woman is insignificant; the
only time she comes into the question
is when the observers think how I'M
attractive she looks in that glorious
frock.
Women in the Wrong Colors.
There is no temptation in costumery
greater than the one offered by gown
built out of an exquisite harmony of
colors. 1t appeals to every woman but
the one who is shocked by a thread
of scarlet" as Mrs. Stuart puts it in
one of her admirable short stories.
Mind you, these women who feel that
drab colorS are part of the respectable
ity of life and who have a traditional
and mystic belief that the color of the
scarlet letter used by Hawthorne was
in itself an acknowledgment of sin,
are not out of existence. The Puritan
stock lives on, although it may be in
Montana, Texas or Alaska, instead of
a small New England village.
But aside of this we'll defined seq
ment in human society that looks upon
scarlet as the color of all that should
not be, and upon black and gray as
the colors that spell responsibility,
emotional limitations and the straight
and narrow path, there are thousands
Of women who are attracted to colors
as goldfish to water. They find in the
brilliancy of tone kind of mental and
physical stimulation that the savages
probably feel.
So it is that when the gifted artist
dressmakers, weavers and dyers throw
out to the world bits of colOred bait,
as our fOrefathers did to the Indians
when they wanted furs, a large seq
ment of women snap up the gifts with
delight.
Color as an Accessory.
The world is wiser and better
dressed when the great artists produce
glorious cOlOrs as accessories to gowns
