In the Philippines.

In 1917 the Philippine Islands eX-
perienced two typhOons, while one
hundred and fifty earthquakes were
reported from different parts. The
damage done was slight and the
casualties few. They were not so
fortunate in FOrmosa, where two
destructive typhoons were expert
enced in July and August, and two
in Japan in October. The appear
ance of the water hyacinth is re-
ported from several places in the
Philippines, and the Secretary OF
Agriculture reports that. unless
legislation provides for its destruc-
tion wherever found, all still or
sluggish waters will soon be i'm
passable to raft or logs, and even
river steamers. The necessity for
increasing the working establish

much larger extent than in the

Nv JuEN milduy Stays III Town
" this summer she will need
" many little accessories to
brighten her warm days and keep
her mentally cool if not physically.
And who does not naturally turn TO
hats for their great summer inspir-
alton? .: r
This year there are such 'adorably
new ones being shown. And per-
haps the most interesting part OF
the new program is the fact that
they are so simple. Which, to
carry the idea further. means that
almost any handy girl can copy
some of the very smart new models
in one, evening at home. She does
not have to be an artist at the nm
ishing touches this year. For 10!
fashion has swept the decks of the
summer millinery clear of all trim
ming.
First, there is the little sports
hats to be worn with the light linen
suit or weekend picnic or boat
trips. One particularly cookbook
ing one was copied recently bly, a
high school girl. And it didn't take
more than one weeks allowance to
do it..
She chose first a small becoming
bucram shape; then a yard of white
taffeta, very good quality. and cut
a bias strip ABOUT six inches wide
from the material. This. width, of
course. varied with the width OF
the brim on the shape. 1t must be
an inch over twice the width OF
the brim OF the bucram' shape.
Both edges of the bias strip are
N,1W ~ ha 81
strings of the stitches drawn evenly
all around: The back seam is
stitched in fine white silk with
very small stitches likewise. Then
the band is slipped onto the brim
and tackled in place about the
lower edge of the crown.
Then another bias strip is cut
the width of the side crown and
scanned in the back with a bias
seam. A heavy. cord of white is
run through the top casing on this
side bias strip. and when a tiny
circle OF the white taffeta is placed
on the very top of the crown, the
corded edge. is tackled in place,
firmly but very neatly all around.
OF course the dainty girl will
want to line her summer hat. For
nothing shows up the work of an
amateur more than the lack of
lining, with the glaring crude
stitches showing on the inside OF
the crown.
Cut a bias strip OF, white silk, or
fine white batiste, and measure it
around the inner crown. Sew the
back seam bias and a narrow cas-
ing at the inner top. Through this
casing run a fine white silk RIBBON
and tie it neatly in a small bow,
drawing the lining to the desired
snuEness to fit the head.
Sometimes a narrow wreath or
fine silk flowers placed around the
outer crown detracts somewhat
from the sporty" look of the simp-
Ter hat and may be worn with more
fussy dresses. But if your white
taffeta sports hat is to be truly
worn with a sports costume. plain
Erosgrain ribbon tied around the
crown with tailored bow at front
or side, Is the ideal trimming for
il.

evening, but as / was going to a party

aboHt 8 week and a half and / have
net heard from him.
sDo you think I ought to write to
him and find out the reason why he
has not written to me? I like this
ybung man very much and feel hurt
that 1 do not hear from him
Il will be quite, proper for you to
write to the young officer a jolly
letter saying you were sorry his
ship did not dock in New York, as
usual, and you will be glad to see
him. Personally I do not think the
white lie had anything TO do with
his non,lppearsnce, as he is prob
ably in ignorance OF your pecca-
