At the left of the group of hats pic
tured an incredibly fine black milan
is faced with satin and trimmed az
the front of the crown with an en-
broldered scroll in fine black beads.
Flat black cabochOns in jet follow the
curve of the scroll and extend to the
top crown. The brim edge is trimmed
away across the front and an inlay of
black chantilly lace introduced.
The hat at the center has a wide
pOke-bOnnet brim of black malines and
a crown of liSere. A bias fold of satin
breaks the width of the brim. An or
nament of brilliant Jet bangles is ap-
piled at the front Of the crown and
puffs of malines fill In the upturned
back.
A leghorn brim with a crown of pink
crepe combine to make a dream Of
midsummer In the hat at the right.
1t has a collar and bow Of narrow
black velvet ribbon about the crown
with n cluster of garden flowers at
the front. Two folds of black velvet
on the underbrim, emphasize its grace

1t is well for lover and his lass 10
be sure Of their affection for each 9th
or. But it Is not necessary to exhibit
before the public their great fondness
for each other. Haven't you seen the
silly pair of lovers holding hands in
the theater, blind to the knowledge
that people were observing them and
tittering? Many a summer lover is n
nuisance. He persists in putting his
arm behind her seat when he takes
his girl trOlley-riding. The winter
beau makes himself quite as cOnspicu-
Gus by holding his sweetheart too
closely clasped In his arms in the
dance, and being unable to restrain
the fond words he whispers to her.
He forgets other people have sharp
ears and that he brings both himself
and the girl into ridicule. If he Is in
vited to sing before a company Of
friends he is sure to select the most
sentimental love ditty. He sings d.
rectly at the girl he cares for, bliss
fully unconscious that anyone else Is
listening.
If the girl Is quite as responsive, en-
couraging him in his lOvemaking be-
fore others, they make a sorry pair.
Their friends do not invite them TO
their homes after they have ceased
making jokes of them. His male COM

earshot. Nor should he put her to

Stale Bread.

An interesting study has just been
made of how and why bread grows
stale. Contrary to popular impression,
staleneSS in bread is not merely a
drying out. Bread will grow stale if
kept in a damp box. The stating is
due to the fact that the starch grains
in the bread harden and dry, even if
the air is moist, the moisture going
over to the grains of gluten. The nu-
tritive constituents Of the starch are
changed from a soluble condition to a
more insOluble one. All this is the
exact opposite of the process that goes
on in baking. AS result of the char
aCter of the baking process bread may
be kept perfectly fresh for "a hours
by keeping it ut Il temperature of 1OS
degrees Fahrenheit. The digeStibility
of stale bread is due to the fact that it
has to he thoroughly chewed before it
can be swallowed.

through their veins. The earth and
al that is on or round about 1t is the
slave Of youth. No wonder the young
feel at their best and have no thoughts
save having Il jolly time while the
d"ar old season lasts. My ScamStrcSS

i.rtment S;Ore) recently complained

daughter Jennie does. She's scarcely

day night to a dance; Thursday to the
movies; Friday to n molusseS candy
pull; Saturday night, Sleighlng, and
Sunday, God willing I'll see that she
goes to church. Each and every week
that follows is crowded with some sort
of entertainment"
Young folks have the time Of their
lives in winter. 1t is at such affairs
as these that people become acquaint-
ed. Girls may go To these places by
themselves. and so may boys. There
introduCtiOns take place. They dance,
dine, chat and make merry. Each
young man plays the galant-sclectS
some girl to take home. If he has
struck the fancy of the girl and she
likes him as well us anyone she has
met, she may invite him to call. Thus
rOmanCeS begin. He accompanies her
to few dances, takes her out skating
and sleighing few times. 1t is then
the audaciouS youth comes boldly for
ward to the parents, announcing that
the daughter cares for him. He asks
permission to pay court to her, with
a view to matrimOny. Summer love
affairs, romances, hang on indefinitely.
Winter love affairs eliminate in
speedy marriages. What's the rea-
son?
Well, l don't know, unless it's In the
air. Instead of bewailing the great
number of festivities that crowd into
the lives of the young, one should be
glad that they can crowd so much en-
joyment into winter evenings. Youth,
JOY, love and laughter are their due.
They traverse youths pathway but
once in lifetime. Those who have
not had happy youth-time thus far,
should start In at once to make up for
lost time. One cannot have too much
rational enjoyment while time is
young.

SriftleSs wife. That girl is afraid of
work. Shed feed n husband on deli
cateSsen and bakery stuff until he lost
all vigOr and all the blood in his
veins and was unable to work. She
would not make fit mother, knowing
little or nothing about children. The
girl who makes her own living in a
good home of others is fitting herself
day by day to care for home of her
own when she gets one. The study of
the married life of young couple is
worth something To her. Above all,
the study OF Child-life is the greatest
lesson a young woman can learn and
profit by later on. She sees how to
care for the infant, the toddler and
the older ones, what is for their we'll
being or dangerous for them. II is
brought TO her attention what they
thrive on or what they may sicken
under. She learns the value of home
cooking, the greatest knowledge on
earth. The careful mother of grow
ing family teaches her economy in
running home. Such girl soon be-
comes fitted TO be the ableSt kind of
aid to n poor man who might wed her.
