In the heart of summer, when Au-
gust inclines us to forget that there is
such a season as winter, the curtain
rises on millinery styles for fall. Mil
liners and merchants journey to the
great fashion centers to view the dress
rehearsals of the modes and to be-
come acquainted with the headwear
they are destined to sell when leaves
and snow are falling. Their patrons
will not welcome these winter things
as rapturously as they do those that
acknowledge that winter millinery Is
entitled to be called superb.
There are no radical changes in
styles so far as size and shapes are
concerned. We are not to be intro
duced to things so novel that we will
have to be educated up to them. The
same reserve is apparent in millinery
that characterizes dresses and suits.
Colors are quiet and rich, materials
are excellent and styles refined.
Velvet is destined to dominate the
winter season unless the unexpected

ABOUT LILIES
Ry E. VAN RENTHUYsEN.

IF ordered early in September, lily
bulbs will reach you any time from
the latter part Of the month until No.
vember; and it is well to have the bed
prepared in advance. Prepare the bed
now, and, as the season advances cover
it with six inches of litter of any kind,
and then if the bulbs do not come too
late, the ground will be in condition to
receive them when they do come.
Again cover the ground with a lit
ter, and in the early spring remove
it. Lilies like well-drained, moist
soil, deep and well-worked over with
fine, well-decayed manure.
When the bulbs are set in the ground
handful of sand should be placed
around each bulb and through this the
root will reach the rich soil.
In my garden would have all the
'lilies of the field' as we'll as those
of the garden. But those of special no.
tice where space and purse are limit
ed, are the pure white madonna lily,
which blossoms in May or June; the
Canada lily. which is found in our
hCiN1o anu 10 VI iSlil SllhiSOl III SOlOls
with dark spots, and blossoms in June
or July; the coral lily which comes
to us in May; the longiforum multi
forum, another pure white beauty.
Then we have the speciosum, white
with green band running through
the center; blood-red and white, the
latter heavily spotted with darker
crimson.
The golden banded Japanese lily is
one of the handsomest and comes
just when we need it most, in late
summertime.

happens and three fine opponents of
the new modes, shown above, are all
made of it, An aristocrat in millinery
has a bulky crown, sponsored by a
world-famed French house. 1t is of
black velvet with brim-facing of white
crepe with long stitches of heavy
white silk, threaded about the crown.
A collar of narrow white ribbon, with
wired bow at the front, shows trim
ming reduced to simplest form.
A design, equally smart and simple,
appears in small tire-brimmed hat,
of platinum gray velvet, with brim
bound with a soft band of feathers.
This model has proven wonderfully be-
coming to older women. The remain
ing hat is familiar and graceful
shape with dropping brim presenting
an unexpected cut out portion at the
front.

should be buried in hot ashes fully
half an hour before anything else is
started. If one does not care to both
er to cook, or will forgo that pleasure
almost everything from hot coffee to
ice cream may be carried now in the
bottles and receptacles made to con-
serve the temperature.
Paper plates and cups will do away
with weight in carriage, and work in
caring for them, as they may be burn
ed before camp is broken, and much
time is saved for more profitable
amusement.
A heavy square of sheet iron is a
most useful camp utensil, it may be
used on which to set the various
dishes while cooking over the Goals
or may be used as toaster, broiler Of
steaks or as q griddle for cakes, in
fact, its repertoire has not yet been
exhausted.
Long sharp sticks will be needed to
roast frankfurters, or for boiling ba-
con, as every member of the camp has
some especial duty to perform the
preparation for the meal is shared.
To be good camper, one must not be
afraid of work and the normal person
finds something of the primitive man
in himself when he gets into the
woods, conventionality is forgotten,
and the picnicker has the excitement
and fun of making fire and preparing
q meal like true savage.
Eggs may be cooked in hot water or
fried after the bacon in the frying
pan, and if cold boiled potatoes are at
hand they may be also fried. One
can eat and digest fried food in the
woods, exercising and tramping, when
it would cause serious trouble at other
times.
Red hot Goals should be ready for
broiling meat. Apples, peanuts, pota-
toes and corn all take kindly to
roasting.
After all is over, the fire burning
up all rubbish, is carefully buried so
that no danger of fire will result from
the days pleasure.

Pile fabrics in dependable quality
are winning place for themselves that
will make them a staple feature of all
coat displays, and this is noticeable in
new showings Of coats for girls. 1t is
one indication of an increasing de-

durability by any other kinds of

Economical Remnants for Negllaee.


If you are in need of dainty negli-
gee garments, be on the lookout for
remnants of suitable sorts for max
ing them. Very often at this time OF
year it is possible to find short lengths
Of lovely crepes or voiles or light
weight silks that can be made into
decidedly attractive negligees.
OF course, the price of these rem
nants is less than that of the same
material bought by the yard, and II
you look about you can always find
the color and fabric that are suited to
your needs.
When looking for remnant it is
much better not to start on your
shopping trip with definite idea as
to color, but rather have firm mem
ory of such colors as you have found
becoming and an open mind as to the
rolors you will choose.
