It was just the sort of hat a girl would choose to wear with lingerie. frocks.
 ''It would be hard to find a more artistic hat than that modeHit's as youthful and as quaint as it can be!'' was Madame's criticism. "Over there is an attractive hat. Try that on next"
 It was large hat of black 1isere straw with slightly turned-down brim The crown was banded with wide, old blue faille ribbon, which was tied in a butterfly bow at the back. The front of the hat was trimmed with velvet geraniums of a soft magenta color. The flowers were sewn fast against the crown and brim in a most artistic manner.
 That's your hat" said Marcelle. Tt looks stunning with that blue frock. I'm very proud of my flower hats"
 On our way back to the studio Ma dame said:
 q never thought a flower turban could have any great amount of style, but Madame has proved that I was wrong. I prophecy that the flower trimmed hat will be the success of the millinery season"
 And, of course, agreed with her.

Diary of a Fashion Model
By GRACE THORNCLIFFE

OO4hIAS I11C IIOO Ol 0uSI V
 Surprises are everyday occurrences here. This morning Marcelle invited Madame, Julie and me to inspect the array of hats she'd trimmed for the summer fashion display" But when we opened the door of the millinery salon, an hour later, we thought we'd made a mistake and had wandered into flower show. The room was a mass of brilliant color-every hat was trimmed with flowers.
 What a clever ideal" exclaimed Madame delightedly. This is certain ly a season of flowers where millinery IS concerned. Every smart woman will want a f1ower-trimmed hat, and whether her favorite posy is a modest bluet or flaming poppy, Marcelle is prepared to cater to her taste. If the hats look as well on the head as they do on the stands they're the smartest hats in the city.
 Claire, will you please try on the Wide-brimmed models while Julie shows off the turbans?'
 Many of the close-ftting brimless hats resembled a. formal bouquet. The flowers were punched tightly together and, in many instances, a rim of foli- age finished the edge of the hat. Small fruits, too, were much in evidence. There were chic little turbans fash toned entirely of tiny apples, blackber- ries, cherries, entrants and plums in- termingled with blossoms and foli- age.
 Julie's eye was attracted by tur- ban of cherries and foliage. The leaves were arranged to overlap each other, and clusters of the brilliant red fruit were placed in the green at even intervals. The model looked ex- tremely well on Julie, who was wear ing a frock of navy blue crepe de chine with Pierrot collar of pleat- ed null, but she asked:
 ''This little hat is unusually smart, but will it look we'll with really, truly summer frocks-I mean frocks of sheer materials like dotted swiss, or gandie or voile? ?"
 ''Of course it wi1l!'' Madame an swered. ''The turban made of flow CTS or fruit is considered very dressy Y, frilly frocks. I'd like to see that charming turban of blue Milan trim med with zinnias on you.'
 Julie settled the hat well down over her blonde head, and it was extremely good looking. The straw was mid night blue in color, and the large vel vet zinnias shaded from brilliant red and yellow to darker red. The large single flowers were placed one after the other about the brim in wreath fashion. No foliage was introduc- ed.
 That hat can't be beaten" said Madame. '"The coloring is very striking, and will add a, smart note of contrast to the tailored suit or one piece frock in either a dark or light tone. Now, Claire, let's have some of the large hats for a change" I still have a little-girl liking for streamers, and had noticed lovely garden hat of natural 1eghorn with

DISCARDED CURTAINS.

Pretty sash curtains may be made from discarded long net ones. Cut the border off, work a design in the net by weaving in and out the meshes with coarse cotton. Many beautiful and original designs may be made. The work is very facinating and so quickly done that only a short time is needed to make curtain.
 With a border worked lengthwise of the curtain and up the sides in a scalloped design and afterward cut out the curtain is full enough for an ordinary window. If is is not long enough loops may be crocheted in the top to run a rod in
 When washed and dipped in coffee to which a small amount of starch has been added roll up for an hour and iron on the wrong side. The re- suit Is a dainty and durable curtain at no cost and very little labor.
 Cut old muslin curtains in strips a foot or more wide, using the good parts, hemmed on both sides, put a heading on the top and run a string in. Use on bays bed with a dainty cover made out of the muslin and a ruffed edge. Baby's bed will be very dainty.

 how it would effect them. For with the day of their marriage Menelik, undoubtedly through the ambitious teachings of Taitou, strove to win for himself a greater measure of power in his corner of the world.
 There were wars and invasions, at tacks on internal enemies and civil wars that had to be swiftly crushed, a maze of strange intrigues not to be duplicated even in the east, which is noted for it's schemes that sometimes puzzle the west because of their com plevity. Six years the turmoil in Abyssinia continued, and then out of the whirling scheme of things rose Menelik as Negus-Negusti, or Emper- or. The ambition of the dusky Queen Taitou was fulfilled.
 And not only was Menelik's pos- ition due to Taitous clever planning, but his confirmation upon the throne he owed to her quick and decisive stroke at the battle of Adowa, where some of the finest troops in Europe received d crushing reverse through her counsel and her personal force. Accompanying Menelik to the battle headquarters, Taitou's own hered- itary troops were put into the field, and contributed to the victory that settled him securely on the throne.
 From that day Taitou retired al- most into seclusion. She rarely left Apis Abbeba, and saw few Europeans To those whom she did receive she was gracious and gave the impress sion of deep and most intelligent in elik's long illness Taitou governed the country, and by the force of her character kept it from internal dis orders. And then Menelik died, Christmas day, 1913.
 Taitou had borne no children to Mneelik, so his grandson, Lidji Jeas- su, boy of IS, became Emperor. But later the young Emperor failed to keep Abyssinia inorder, and in 1916 he was disposed by Taitou's consent. Then it was that Taitou selected the boys aunt, Menelik's s eldest daughter, zeodita, as Empress. Undoubtedly, Taitou could have had the throne herself had she desired it, but she didn't. She was content now that her years were almost liv- ed, to spend her last days in peace and quiet. But she kept a watchful, protecting eye on the happiness of the country, and saw that the throne which she had done so much to es- tablish did not fall.

CONN. IS FIRST TO ADOPT NEW
 LABOR SYSTEM

Credit is given Connecticut for be- ing the first state to put into opera tion a plan for the use of industrial workers as part time emergency workers in food production by an ar ticle in the current issue of the U. s. Employment Service Bulletin, the of ficial publication of the United States Department of Labor. Added praise is accorded to Connecticut because the manufacturers and merchants of this state are the firstto endorse officially the plan and release employees. The state also has perfected release sys" tenn which is the first of it's kind and which is considered better and more effective than the excellent plan em- ployed by the Canadian manufacturer last year.
 State Director Leo A. Korper and Associate Director Allen B. Lincoln of the United States Employment Ser vicevice working in cooperation with the Connecticut State Council of De- fense, are organizing the new group of workers for farm service. Pledges are being obtained from employers to release men during the period extra labor will be needed on the farms. The regular employer will continue to pay wages to the men released while the farmers will pay the wages due the men to their employer. A patriotic sacrifice is thus being made by the manufacturer who willingly pays the difference while the en- D1o1,oc rernainino in the Dlant carry on the tasks temporarily left by their comrades enlisted in the cause Of greater food production.

JANE de BELLEVILLE.

Jane de Belleville was the wife of Oliver TIL, lord of Clissen and has the distinction of having, single handed, carried on warfare against a French king. Philip de Valois, king of France, having caused her hus- band to be beheaded, in 1S43, on un- authenticated suspicion of correspon- dence with England, Jane sent her son, a. boy of twelve, secretly to Lon don, for safety. Having provided for the safety of her son, she sold her jewels, fitted out three vessels, and at- tackled all the French ships she met She made descenIs in Normandy, took possession of castles and set them to the torch. Jane de Belleville was considered the most beautiful woman in Europe, and she led the attacks in person.

CASTOR OIL.

Much of the nauseous taste of cas- tor oil is caused by it's thickness. Be- fore giving, heat it for moment by placing it in hot water or holding over a candle. -Ie soon becomes per fectIy liquid In it's pure liquid state infants and young children will take it easily if a little brown sugar is sprinkled on it's surface. For elders it is best to beat it up in cupful of milk, either warm or cold. The former is better as it aids in it's work. It should be beaten until it is frothy and sweetened with a lump of sugar. Few children fail to swallow or keep down castor oil when prepared as recommended.

GIRLS AND BOYS.

Where do girls excel over boys? Some tests of hundreds of boys and girls between the ages of Il and IA recently disclosed these interesting results:
 The memories of the boys up to 10 years of age were indefinitely better than those of the girls; after 10 the girls leaped ahead. Then at IA the boys excelled the girls again.
 The moment that an occurrence touched a girls personal interests, she at once began to exaggerate; a boy immediately became silent or non- committal.
