Although you may make your choice
among hats of many different shapes
the chances are that 1t will fall upon
something made of velvet, either plain
or paume-nnd that that something
will be simply trimmed. The capeline,
the casQue, the toque and the turban
shapes, varied and interpreted In many
ways-they are all here. And they are
dressed up In velvet sometimes of two
kinds and often of two colors. Since
the matter of trimming Is easily dis
posed of that of making and draping
the hat may take much time.
Soft crowns are everywhere. In
the first hat shown In the group above,
wide brlmmed shape, covered with
paume velvet, has crown that Is n
puff, accordion plated; both these
facts marking 1t n hat of the hour. Its
trimming is an ornament of jet ana
1t Is brilliant all-black triumph of
millinery art.
The beautifully draped turban In
dropping brim. All the draping flows
upward In graceful lines from the cen
ter of the crown where wing is
posed. 1t is In the color of the velvet
but In various shades and follows the
lines of the flower-like drapery.
An odd shape not easily classified
appears in the third hat. 1t lays claim
to originality and is made of gray vel

BLOUSE WITH SQUARE NECK
Pretty Fashion Is Rendered Doubly So
In Its Modern Develop.
vnent.

The square nccl;ed blouse or bodice
is pretty fashion rendered doubly SO
in its modern development, for the
square Is either deep enough to allow
of the whole thing slipping over the
head (cotta-fashion) or else Is pro-
vidcd with clipped fastening Just ut
the neck on the shoulder to permit of
this easy means of entrance. A par
ticuarly pretty example of the latest
squnrc.nccked blouse provides for the
material to he gathered to the edge by
II square yoke. and looks equally
charming In crepe tie chine, muslin,
japanese silk or any of the materials
now I'm vogue.

countered his wife. 1t Is difficult to
see where the modiste's skill comes
In, for the gowns of today fit nowhere
and disguise rather than improve the
figure. All the same, the costume
turned out by II first rate house has
n style about 1t indetinable, but unmis-
taxable. That is what we women
chcerfully pay for.

A Different Touch,

Everybody Is knitting sweaters so
that 1t takes some little ingenuity to
accomplish n sweater which looks diff
ferent from everyone elses In the knit
ting class. one excellent way to ac-
complish this end Is to use cross stitch
In wool on the collar corners. AS
most of the sweaters made have II con-
trasting collar and cuffs, either of
plain wool or of angora, 1t Is an easy
matter to bring out the conventional
cross stitch design with the colored
wool of the sweater. A not too con-
spicuous pattern should be chosen, be-
cause 1t Is not intended to be SNOWY,
only finishing touch. Conventional
designs are best. The stitches OF the
wool are used as guide in the cross
stitchin".

DRAPED EFFECTS COMING IN
Noticeable Feature Of the Gowns Cast

II Is always rather dangerous to in
dulge in forecasts where fashion is
concerned. hut If coming modes cast
their shadows correctly, the slender sill
houette to which--after brief firta-
tion with tublike outlines--women re-
turned with one accord will still he
with us long after summer has been
left behind. More than that, If the
few advance models already on the
scenes are any criterion, we shall soon
he called upon to suffer far closer en-
braces from our skirts for the sake Of
fashion. and tendency to draped eff
fects Is another noticeable feature
about gowns cast in the mode of to-.

writIna On ! MovIna rrain.

Writing legibly on a fast moving
train is difficult to a person unaccus-
toned to do it. The railroad conductor
knows the trick OF it and manages to
get along quite satisfactorily. He pre-
fers to write in a standing position and
holds his right elbow firmly against his
side The reason for this is that in Il
sitting posture there is too much lat
eral movement In the trunk Of the
body. while in standing position this
is more easily controlled.
When the arm swings freely, as in
ordinary writing. several joints Of the
body are affected in the process. each
Of which is capable of its own motion.
Holding the elbow against ones ribs
breaks those motion tendencies, ex-
cept that of the wrist, which movement
is necessary in writing. and thus the
pencil or pen is more easily controlled.

A Watch Repairing Tip.
IfS astonishing low many fine
watches are ruined each year by be-
ing placed in the hands Of poor and
inexperienced wOrkmen for repairs.
A slight oversight on their part often
causes an unnoticeable grinding and
chucking that will wear out the best
movement made in a short time. Why
run the chances? Leave your repair
ing in our hands. and you'll get all
that long experience and honesty can
give. Stokes, the Jeweler, Milford.
