The melancholy days have come, but
so have the new fall hats, and they
have brought along with them a sure
cure for the blues. 1t is just out Of
the question to try on this enticing
new millinery and go on regretting
the passing of summer at the same
time, for winter is foreshadOwed and
welcomed by the loveliest of head
wear. The war has thrown Americans
on their own resources in designing, TO
greater extent than ever before; 1t
is hard to tell just how much we owe
to our own homegrown" millfners,
but there cannot be two opinions about
the new hats. They are excellent
from every standpoint.
There are shapes that are large and
there are small hats, and all of them
are graceful. Lines are wonderful and
trimmings do not interfere with them
or blur them. Brims are irregular,
crowns are soft, materials are rich
and trimmings simple. Much hand
craft appears in the making of these
hats and in the making OF their trim
mings. The predominating colors are
quiet, but nevertheless brilliance is
universal in the seasons models.
A group Of representative hats is
pictured above. The shapes have style
and becomingness to recommend them
and include the principal types of hats
to be worn during the coming seasoB.
At the top a hat OF dark blue panne
velvet is faced with long-napped bea-
yer and has a band of beaver about
the crown. There is a silk tassel of
the same color for the trimming. The

speaking of Strange Words.

And, speaking OF strange words one
has been appearing lately which al
ways gives US pause because it looks
so queer. We have to stop and pro-
nounce it aloud ere we can proceed
with the news of the day.
The word is ''prewar."
Does one say ''proo-er?" Or how?
OF course 1t means ''pre-war," or
'befo' de wah," but It's a mean look
ing, foreign word, when printed with
out the hyphen.-Cleveland Plain

Hoped edges and fine tucks across thu
front There is an embroidered me
dalIion at each side and full sleeves
that are much longer than sleeves have
been for several seasons. There is not
much needlework on this gown, but
what there is, is very well done.
The negligee is a long slip of plat
ed silk with an overdrop of lace that
hangs from the shoulders, having the
effect of a short, full lace coat. 1t is
open down the front and is to be worn
over a lacey petticoat or slipped over
the nightdress for bedroom wear. Satin

The sport coat which has made FOR
itself so important a place in the
summer wardrobe is this season in all
sorts Of materials, and, as a rule, has
dispensed with sleeves. In one case,
it is hardly more than two straight
lengths Of silk, folded under at the
bottom to form a deep pocket. and
held in by a narrow belt The ma
terial is just wide enough TO form
the front and back OF the coat, and
there are neither sides nor sleeves.

NO WASTE IN ARMY CAMPS
Conservation and Reclamation Oivi-
sion Obtains Maximum Utilization
Of All Materials.

One of the most insidious pieces OF
German propaganda which the govern
ment has to combat appears In the
form OF rum0rs concerning excessive
wastes of all foodstuffs and supplies
In our army camps and environments. |
A glance at the work of the conserva- |
ton and reclamation division OF the
army readily establishes the falsity
Of these reports.
The aim Of the conservation and
reclamation division is TO obtain the
maximum utilization of all materials
of service, to reduce the waste or
these materials to a minimum. to de-
stroy nothing, and TO dispose OF all ma
terial useless to the army at the great
est profit possible.
No restrictions are placed upon our
soldiers appetites. but the highest care
is exerted 10 prevent the soldier from
taking more on his plate than he wants
in other words. much of the food
that formerly was lost through care
lessness is now saved The recfaina-
ton officer and his assistants In every
camp and every cantonment are re-
sponsible for the separating ana Inc

In the preparatlon and serving OF every

careful separation and classification
of kitchen waste Is 10 prevent vast
