After winter of vOluminous wraps
and great showing of ample capes
for spring, some trim and very prac-
tical coats have appeared among new
arrivals In outer garments. These pur-
poseful and businesslike wraps have
no superfluous fullness. To see one is
to begrudge its wearer the joys it
suggests-sea voyages, motor tours,
tramps afield, all sorts of outdoor ac-
tivities, to be enjoyed without fear Of
wind or weather. And they are more
than presentable. They have q good
style all their own.
An example of smartness in a good
coat for general wear is pictured
above. 1t Is double-breasted, with panel
front, full enough to be comfortable,
no matter what the demands upon 1t.
1t is Of heavy cheviot In a gray mix
ture, and has everything to recon-
mend it to the active, outdoor woman.
In point Of style, its neatness and fine
adjustment place it at the head of its
class. 1t is cut cleverly and on orig
inal lines, and 1t is faultlessly finished.
A moderately wide belt is tackled to
the coat and fastens with a big bone
button at the left of the center, bal
anced by sister button at the right.

Satin and rough braids are running
mates, when they are not opponents, in
hats for early spring. They made their
appearance, along with the new year,
when hats made entirely of satin and
hats made entirely of braid, along with
others of braid and satin combined, re-
vealed the parting of the ways in mil
linery seasons. For these January
hats are the earliest heralds Of spring.
The braid most popular this year is
substantial looking, highly lustrous
and light in weight and 1t is dyed in
all sorts of cOlors. 1t is adapted to
snail hats and turbans, although IL few
wider brimmed hats have been shown
In 1t for the benefit Of people in sun
shiny climates. What is true Of the
braid hat is also true of the satin hat
they are in the same class. Three
January hats are shown in the picture,
and 1t must be taken into account that
they are called January hats because
they made their entree in that month,
to be worn until it is time to buy
more summary millinery. and that they
are demi-season hats.
At the left of the group there is pic
tured round turban with braid coro-
net and satin crown, in black 1t has
a smooth, brilliant wing which looks
equal to holding its own in any sort of
Wind or weather. Just below this is

dropping brim Of red, will, q f~v ODD

Birds Nests for Soup,

The birds nests from which the far
famed Chinese soup is made are built
by a species of swallow that abounds
on the coasts Of Java, Ceylon and Bor-
neo, and consists Of gelatinous sub
stance obtained from marine plants.
The nests are boiled either in chicken
broth or in milk of almonds, and the
result very much resembles vermicelli
soup, except that it is far more costly.

If it were not for ever varying
blouses, that lend the spice of variety
to the tailored suit, we might finally
grow tired of that mainstay of the
American wOman's wardrobe. But
with the incoming of each new sea.
son comes a glorious company Of new
blouses and each time we are con.
WINGED that they are the lovliest ever
seen. The business of selecting ones
new suit is settled, once and for all,
and this out of the way, the matter
of selecting blouses begins, and is
never settled once and for all. We
gather them in at short intervals,
month after month, and part company
with some of them reluctantly after
they have seen long service.
Handmade blouses, elegantly de-
signed and beautifully finished, never
loose their charm for gentlewomen.
And they are among her prerogatives,
be she rich or not; for she can learn
to make them for herself. Even when
bought in the shops the simplest ones
are not very high priced. But blOuses
run through wide range of materi-
ais and prices; all the way from filmy
geOrgette and fine batiste to. wash silk
and satins, with prices varying as
much as materials.
In materials, georgette crepe has
won, and held for some time, first
place in the esteem of women. 1t is
incomparably dainty, and a more beau
tiful fabric has not yet been imagined.
1t is too durable to be classed among
the luxuries; nothing stands the test
of constant wear better Here are

TulIe for the Slender.

1t is somewhat of a gift to know
ones limitations, but if you happen to
be stout, don't try to look like rose
or butterfly. Use little will power
and cut tulle and airy materials out of
your wardrobe. Have you ever seen a
stout woman sailing along the street
with wind-intiated silk dress? From
a distance she looks like a circus bal
loon that has landed in the wrong
place. Flowing military capes should
also be debarred from the stout wom-
ans wardrobe. These garments are
hard to wear and none save tall, slen-
der women, with beautifully graceful
carriages, and young Red Riding Heed
types Of girls look well in them.

CLOSING Hot Water Bottles.

The hot water bottle will not leak at
the mouth If the stopper be screwed
in cold Immediately after the bag has
been filled, for the hot water causes
the metal socket to expand and the
cold stopper goes in slightly further
than II it too had been expanded by
heat. After 1t is in place 1t too begins
to expand and thus tightens and pre-
vents leaking.
