"OFF-THE-FACE" HAT SHAPES
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

1t would have been a decided con-
venience if fashionable women had
been made with eyes like poodle dogs
those ragged-looking, dish-mop
dogs who, we are always assured by
their owners and fanciers, would ruin
their eyesight if they wore their front
hair any way but struggling down
to their noses. That. of course. after
we have made an effort to tidy up
said poodle dog by smoothing back
those hayward locks: Then we learn
that that sort of thing isn't done"
that the best groomed of poodles
wear their hair over their eyes and
that we would be interfering with
nature and dog fashion if we trained
it to DO ANYTHING else.

The Role of Ribbons.

Ribbon counters these days are fasci-
mating. Sometimes you rather won
der whether the ribbon people have a
right to claim some of the beautiful
reels of silken goods that they call
ribbon. You would think that if you
were the people that had the silk
goods counter in the store you would
want to put up a fight to have in
your department some Of those won
derful textiles that are kept on the
ribbon counter. Sometimes they are
almost half a yard wide. They are
used often not as ribbons are, but as
silk by the yard is used. to cut up
into waistcoats, gilets. cuffs. collars
and other trimmings of the frock.
Most of the most striking of these
new ribbons have a metallic back
ground that is woven in with brilliant
colored silk that goes to make the de-
sign of the ribbon. They are the
most gorgeous sort of brocade. One
of these ribbons shows a design of
color and metal that goes to Egypt
for it's inspiration. There Is a gor-
geous scarab and above the conven-
tional rising sun of Egypt with the
usual lotus flower design at the sides.
Then there is ribbon showing a con-
ventionalized parrot done in the most
gorgeous parrot shades combined
with gold. There are others that
show a curious Chinese design which
as you look at 1t must have been in
spired by the four queens Of the deck

A SMART BLOUSE.

The blouse shown in the sketch is
an especially smart member of the
oyerskirt blouse family. 1t is also
an especially serviceable type OF
blouse. AS originally designed it was
developed in white crepe de chine and
trimmed with bands of appllqued
navy satin. An outline design OF en-
broidery done in silk in shade
matching the satin also gives pIs'; -;
decorative touch. The waist is held IN
with a satin ribbon belt finished with
tassel ends. 1t may be a slip-over or
NAV fasten on one shoulder, accoro-
ing to choice.
Blouses in very vivid colors a.
newest decorative schemes is hano
painting. No especial design is pre-
ferred, so the fad opens up all sorts
of possibilities to the woman WIZ
makes her own blouses. She may TAKE
a perfectly plain blouse ana paint ~
geous thing of beauty, putting ner
own particular color scheme and "a
yorite flower or design into the motl1.
Bead embroideries,- bead landings
and bead girdles in very bright col
ors add their bit to many otherwise
plain looking garments, and bead
fringe is by no means out of favor.
Among the newest French blouses
brought over many showing oe-
cided vest or waistcoat effect are IN
evidence.
Wholesale dealers in blouses al
ready are showing models for spring,
and it is interesting to note that great
confidence is expressed in demand
for lingerie garments. Very dainty
effects are being brought out in fine
sheer batiste, voile, ETC., decorated
with Philippine embroideries and
very fine insets of filet, Irish cro-
Chef and other laces.
The very smartest models have the
entire sleeves, as well as the bodice
proper decorated with embroidered
motifs and lace. In the lingerie mod

How Lightfoot Got Rid of the
Hounds.

Poor Lightfoot! 1t seemed to him
that there were no such things as
justice and fair play. 1t was bad
enough to have hunters searching the
Green Forest for him, watching at the
places where he was accustomed to
drink, searching every hiding place
Had it been just one hunter at time
against whom he had to match his
wits it would not have been so BAD,
but there were many hunters with
terrible guns looking for him, and in
lodging one he was likely at any
time to meet another. This in itself
seemed terribly unfair and unjust.
But now, added to this was the
greater unfairness of being trailed by
hounds.
Do you wonder that Lightfoot
thought of men as utterly heartless
You see, he could not know that those
hounds had not been put on his trail
but had left home to hunt for their
own pleasure. He could not know
that 1t was against the law to hunt
deer with dogs. But though none Of
those hunters looking for him were
guilty of having put the hounds on
his trail, each one of them was willing
and eager to take advantage of the
fact that the hounds were on his trail.
Already he had been shot at once,
and he knew that he would be shot
at again if he should be driven where
a hunter was hidden.
The ground was damp. and scent
always lies best on damp ground.
This made it easy for the hounds to
follow him with their wonderful noses.
Lightfoot tried every trick he could
think of to make those hounds lose
the scent.
eff only I could make them lose
it long enough for me to get little
rest. it would help" painted Lightfoot
as he paused for just an instant to
listen to the baying of the hounds.
But he couldn't. They allowed him
no rest. He was becoming very. very
tired. He could no longer bound
lightly over fallen logs or brush as
he had done at first. His lungs ached
as he painted for breath. He realized
that even though he should escape
the hunters it would be to meet an
even more terrible death unless he
could get rid of those hounds. There
would come time when he would
have to stop. Then those hounds
would catch up with him and tear him
to pieces.
1t was then that he remembered
the Big River. He turned toward it.
1t was his only chance. and he knew
it. Straight through the Green Forest,
out across the Green Meadows to the
bank of the Big River Lightfoot ran.
For just a second he paused to look
behind. The hounds were almost at
his heels. Lightfoot hesitated nc
longer, but plunged into the Big
River and began to swim. On the
bank the hounds stopped and bayed
their disappointment, for they did not
dare follow Lightfoot out into the
Big River.
