LIVES AS SIMPLE CITIZEN
King Albert Of Belgium Cares Little
for Pomp That Usually Sur
rounds a Monarch.

Among the fisher folk Of La Panne,
where King Albert of Belgium spends
his summers, he is known as the old
fashioned king. He lives In a small
cottage of unpretentious design, circled
by homes Of Antwerp and Belgian mer-
chants much more kingly. The royal
palace and park. at Ostend, where his
uncle, Leopold II, spent the summers
in gay frivolity, and the gayer resorts
Of the French coast, have little of in
terest for the practical and democratic
monarch. The dress Of the king in
both fashion and fabric is like that
of the merchants of La Panne. The
affairs of the town are the affairs of
his household, and one not knowing
him would pass the kindly-faced man
on the street and not recognize him.
He takes pleasure from his camera,
swapping the peasants and fishermen.
1t was at La Panne where the con-
queror julius, invading Gaul, found
the Belgae, q people whom Caesar de-
scribed as the most valiant Of all the
races of northern Europe.

IS THE SMALL HAT DOOMED?
Indication Favorable to Broadness
Through Hips Points to Wide or
Tall Hesdaear.

There are some smart women who
never feel smartly dressed for the
street unless they are wearing a small
hat. This does not mean that the
small hat is any smarter-simply that
some women feel smarter when wear
ing 1t, and there is no denying the fact
that 1t is vastly easier to keep ones
locks trim and in place under a small
hat than q large one. . .4.lf.
Undoubtedly 1t would be very hard
for good many women ever to give
up the small hat. Yet there are times
when small hats are quite out of fash
Ion. A couple Of decades ago no one
but old women In their weeds wore
small hats, and those small hats were
honnets. When the so-called toque
came In 1t was a real novelty.
And there are those who say that

simply have to go. If we are to wear

and the dining room have large bay

The front bedroom upstairs is 10 by

are two bedrooms in the center Of the
house, separated by central hall. At
the end of the hall is the bathroom, a
smaller bedroom and sewing room.
Off the small bedroom is a balcony,

This house Is large enough to pro-
vide a modern, convenient and COM
Portable home for good-sized family
and for the help the farmer needs both
in the the house and In the fields. It
Is the sort Of home that will keep
the boys and girls on the farm and will
enable the owner to retain the services
of his employees, which is an advan-
| tage that should not be overlooked IN
these days of scarcity of help on the
| farm.
A good home, one in which his family
can enjoy living. is the best investment
any man can make, whether he be
farmer. business man or an employee
The money invested in a home pays
dividends In comfort and happiness
two things that are well worth spend
ing money to obtain.
There now is a great era Of home
building. Many thousands OF families
In cities, towns and rural sections
alike, are building homes. And they
will never regret the step.

Nelvets and Woolens Are Favored;
FroeIs Of VeIveteen and Serge
In Brown.

Fashions for the small girl always
reflect to a certain extent the modes
for grown-ups. With little folk It is
not so much a matter of line as of
color and material, and whether the
grown-ups are straight Of line or have
their skirts bouffant does not concern
the small girl for whom both straight
line and the full skirt are modlsh.
But many Of the seasons colorings
are admirable for child wear and the
velvets and woolens make charming
coat materials for the small girl.
Brown is a favorite shade this season
In childland. All the browns that
mothers and big sisters affect are pos
sible for little sister.

medium tone brown serges, with white

leather belts; quaint brown velveteen
sleeveless frocks, worn over yellow
guimpes in crepe de chine.
But when she wears dark frocks al
all, blue is still her favorite color, and
dark blue fine twill serge the small
girls chosen material. The things the
child outfitters do to those blue serge
dresses are almost as interesting ant
varied as the things the designers dt

Too obIioino.


Marie Dressler, the head of the
Chorus Girls union., said, during the
chorus girls strike in New York:
1--WE are striking, too. for clean
life. Too many of the men In the
theatrical profession expect the chorus
girl to be--er-well, to be obliging.
Like the French maid, you know.

absurd in our small hats. The only
way to finish the picture as 1t should
be finished will be to wear wide
brimmed hats or very tall hats. The
very high headdress of the period of
Louis XIV in France was worn to coun-
teract the dwarfing effect Of the wide
hipped pannier frock and when full
skirts were in vogue some twelve or
fifteen years ago hats that were ex-
tremely wide-so wide that you could
not have worn one into a telephone
booth without holding your head side
wise-came into vogue.

SUIT CHANGES AREFEW
Styles Only Slightly Affect Con-
sevative Type.
Last Winters outHt VIII Not BE
Passe-Fur Trimming 10 Not
So General.

There are many women who wear
one coat suit for at least two seasons
and always look well In It. These are
usually the women who select a con-
servative style to begin with and then
frcshen II up the second season with
small fashionable touches. Say what
you win about the changeableness Of
fashion, observes fashion writer, you
viii have to grant that within the last
few years there have been very few
changes In suit styles that would af-
feet the more conservative type Of
suit. That is, we have worn the same
sort Of suit sleeves and the straight
belted or semi-fitted jacket that per-
sisted. To be sure, there have been
changes In skirt length and girth, but
you have never looked out of style
II you persisted In conservative me-
dium In these matters.
Now radical changes are said to be
working In the realm Of fashions as an
inevitable aftermath of the wars end.
Distended hips are sure to come in.
They are always worn almost to the
exclusion Of any other sort Of thing for
evening gowns by fashionable wom-
en-, but it has really been determined
by the makers of women's clothes
that these distended hips shall not
have a showing in women's suits. 1t
would take more goods than the WON
en-. could afford to pay for. Conse-
uuently the straight silhouette will per-
sist for day street wear at least dur
ing the winter.
So your last winters suit will moi
look so out of the picture after all. Ir
the matter of fur trimming, although
some coats are trimmed lavishly with
It. It is by no means so general, ant
some women who have planned the re
modelling Of suits they have worn last
winter or before have planned t.
have the old fur removed. On some
of the new suits with fur trimming
1t is found only on the collar and alonl
the edge OF large hip pockets. 1
would be possible then to have the ful
from the other part of the coat re
moved and enough that Is good mad
over. to use In this way. Then SOM
Of the suits show the use Of warm an
CORA cloth or other fabrics made t,
take the place of fur, but by no mean
limitations. If the old fur is shabb,
why not get the tailor to make use o
one Of these angora fabrics? 1t woul'
be especially attractive on a suit tina
is cut along the sports lines.

Gently under the anti-loafng law. The
judge looked at him for, moment and
then asked:

the reply.
"In that case I'll have to find you
guilty of loafing."
'But, your honor" protested the
man, SIN regularly employed by the
church as an organist."
"That only confirms my opinion" !"
said the judge. "The law requires ev-

requires you to ulay."

Girls will powder their necks. Why
shouldn't they If 1t increases their
charm? But why should they also
powder the inside of their coat collar?
OF course, they don't mean to, but If
you will take a look inside lovely
new coat, you will find nine times out
Of ten, that already it is the worse for
powder-wear. OF lace about three
inches wide make a dainty protection
for your coat collar. A straight piece
about three-quarters Of a yard long
win do very nicely. Ecru filet would
do handsomely. Simply finish the
ends Of 1t with a blanket-stitch in the
color Of the coat lining. Tack it on
the inside of the coat collar at the mid
die of the back. 1t will save your coat
lining, will look well inside your coat
and. incidentally, 1t is very much more
dainty.

The Day of Judgment.

The world has taken to rolling so
rapidly of late that the most interest
ing things occur and are finished up
and forgotten before we have time to
observe and remember them. Great
events flash by, like country stations
seen from the last platform of an ex-
press train. Unless we stand ready, as
the astronomers do. before an eclipse of
the sun, we may find ourselves in a new
epoch without having obtained even q

WhIstIIna for Wind.

Everybody is familiar with the old
superstition Of sailors that, to bring
a favorable breeze, they must whistle
during the calm. From the remotest
times there seems to have prevailed
belief that libation or sacrifice would
placate the storm spirits and induce
them to permit the vesesl to proceed
unmolested on its course. Russian
sailors have been known to pour oat-
meal and water over a rocky promon-
tory in order to obtain a wind favor
able to their designs.
