THE HOUSEHOLD
II Hats Are Trimmed.
Edited by ANNE KITTENHoUs

There seems to be no doubt of the
fact that trimmed hats are. going to De
with us when spring comes. OF coul Sc,
the folk who earn their daily bread
producing or selling hat trimmings
have wished this devoutly for some
time and they have been working hard
naturally enough, to revive the
trimmed hat. Probably their efforts
have had very little to do with it.
1t simply amounts to the fact that
women have wearied of the un-
trimmed hat. The pendulum always
swings as rapidly one way as the other
in fashion, and just as sure as GER
tain fashion goes out, SO sure it will
come back in again in one form or an
other as soon as women weary of the
new.
But one wonders about the new
trimmed hats. 1t is said that more
hats would be sold when trimmed hats
are again with US because when wom-
en- wear untrimmed hats or hats with
simple trimming they can be changed
and done over and one hat can be
made to do for more than one season;
or rather, when a woman wearies of
1t after u few weeks she can have it
made different. With trimmed hats,
on the contrary, so some milliners say
who are optimistic, a hat must be dis
carded when one grows weary of it
There is no chance for alteration
Still as one looks back on the for
mer vogue for trimmed hats it didn't
always work out just that way. Don't
you remember the large bandbox
wherein your grandma used to keep,
neatly folded in tissue paper. bits of
choice trimming taken from discarded
hats-jet buckles, aigrettes, artificial
roses, velvet and gold lace? When
the season for new hats rolled around
out came this box. 1t mattered not
what the change in mode might be.
With new shape one could al
ways use the treasured trimmings over
to advantage. A bit of new tulle
some ribbon or velvet was bought and
then the work of transformation be-
gan. Women rather took pride in
their collection of really good trim
mings. One bought new trimmings
with an eye to their lasting quality
1t was worth while to pay well for a
new feather fancy just because it was
of the quality that would make it last
and steel and jet buckles were always
examined critically with this thought
in view.
So perhaps if trimmed hats return
and are with us for many seasons, We
too, will keep our trimmings-we too
will have a trimming treasury where
in we save the wherewithal to devise
new hats as the seasons come and 60

pertaining to the welfare of the four
clubs in the joint organizations. The
staff is composed of one representa-
tive from each of the clubs.
The regular meeting of the club is
held every Wednesday evening. One
week it is business meeting, the next
educational. the next social service,
and tn: fourth meeting is just a party.
At each weekly meeting there are
games and dancing, SO that the girls
have the necessary wholesome recrea-
ton along with the routine of business
and work. At the educational meet
ings, some speaker is asked to address
them on topics which are timely and
entertaining.
The four clubs which comprise the
big club are: the kresge, composed of
the employees of the Kresge store; the
Gofoso. composed of house-maids; the
L. L L.. composed of Santa Fe en-
ployes, and D'orRegle, composed of
the clerks from Pelletier's and the
Santa Fe offices.

Mabel Grosch, of the Gofoso. Miss
nellie Thorpe, the L. L. L., Miss Mary

singer from the Metropolitan Opera
House to curse draughts to the high
heavens to impress the American
woman with their danger in public

tive souls feeling akin to terror when

Back to Old Methods.
But the Anglo-Saxon, even tho
she insists upon invigorating ventila-

tain well directed currents of air can
give her any form of ailment from
stiff neck to influenza. Since the
epidemic of the latter disease swept
the country in medieval fashion, un-
checked by science, and reaping even
a grimmer harvest than the battle
field, we are not SO cocksure that we
know how to keep we'll; and there
fore, we cover the unprotected parts
of our bodies when in draughty places
and we wear warm clothes and stout
shoes on bitter days.
There is no denying that, human
nature has had two horrifying Shocks
in the barbarity of this war and the
barbarity of this plague. They have
unsettled our convictions concerning
life's serenity and our. power to cope

Ostrich Tips and the Weather.
1t sounds absurd to say that one of
the inventions of the wise to combat
the draughts in public places, is 6 stole
of ostrich feathers. No matter what
else the African bird may think of
himself he does not vaunt his plum
age as a rival to the hide of the lIud-
son seal. But women find curious
things to serve commonplace needs,
and the ostrich feather stole is really
quite enough warmth for the bare
back and shoulders.
The sketch shows how it was used
the other night at the opening of a
new play. The gown worn was black
velvet banded with dull silver en-
broidered in rhinestones and furnished
silver threads. The arms and neck
were bare under the square decol-
letage. The ostrich stole was a vivid
note of color as well as a bit of pro-
lection. The tips were happily shad-
ed from deep red to purple. There
was an interlining, and then chiffon
lining of old gold.
This is the kind of wrap that su-
persedes the fur stole and will prob
ably go into the spring fashions in

SENATE NOTES
Items OF Interest From Upper
House OF LEGISLATURE.

The Kansas barber board and the
laws regulating barber shops may not
be wiped out after all. At any rate
they will be given chance to be
heard. The Schoch bill providing for
the apprenticing of BARRIERS that al
most took all the barber legislation
from the statute books Saturday has
been re-referred to the committee on
state and federal affairs of the senate
for further consideration.
House bill 3s1, a substitute for SEN
ate bill 342, which permits mutual in
surance companies to deposit their Sc
curt.es with the state treasurer for
the protection CT the policyholders has
been recommended for passage by the
senate. 1t is claimed by the Kansas
mutual companies that their COMPETE
tors have taken an advantage of the
fact that they have had no securities
on deposit and have been urging this
as reason why property owners
should not insure in the Kansas mu-
tual companies. Schoch of Shawnee
is fathering the measure in the senate.
Senator Whitney's anti-discriminat-
ing measure that would prevent dis
examinations against individuals as
well as firms has been recommended
for passage upon third reading sub
ject to amendment and debate. Whit
manufacturers have been discriminate
ing against farmers union stores and
it also is asserted that certain cream
cries are using discriminating tactics.
However, a number of important
amendments that will protect mer-
chants who have built up their bust
nesses on exclusive agencies are con-
templated before the measure is
passed.
