Tub Hats. Too!

One of the advantages of the fabric
hat, whether it is intended for the
junior or the grownup, is that it may
be so fashioned that it can be taken
entirely apart and the covering washed
or dry cleaned. 4 fine wire frame
forms the foundation for the hat. 1t
is covered with geOrgette cut in per"
fectly circular form and gathered in
to form the crown. The edge may be
finished with hemstitching or picOting,
or with fine narrow lace. The wire
frame, of course, is concealed by a
covering of this net in color to match
the hat proper, or in white if the hat
Is made of a light colored material.

Einured PonQee,

Figured pOngee has been made into
some charming new blOuses. 1t shows
scrawling designs in blue-a soft blue.
The designs are not so bold and strik'
ing as those in the new foulards, nei'
Their are they so dainty and tlowerlike
as foulards and pongees used to be,
The blouses are made usually with tan
or ecru net in the form of little yes
tees and collars and sometimes frills
at the arms.

noticing, for usually we're too lazy TO
have such things. We're too busy
chewing, eating, lying down, resting,

the horse
"Then you have heard it for the
first time" said the COW, smiling a
very broad smile.
yes" laughed the horse, neighing,
and saying after moment, well,
let's begin the stories"
1.-THE cows, all except myself, will
tell the stories first of ALL" said the
COW.
So the horse and the COW listened
while all the other cows in turn told
their stories. They told of special
things they had had to eat. Some of
them told of milking cans which had
upset. Some of them told of the way
they had waved their tails around
when they were being MIXED and Of
how mad it had made their masters,
Some of them told of long, long
walks people had taken to find them,
for they had wandered so far off, And
one COW told a joke which made all
the others laugh hard.
"a man from the city," said the
COW, "said he would like to go with
the farmers boy to bring in the cows.
Well, he walked and he walked, and
we had wandered and wandered.
"The farmers boy thought nothing
of it at all, but the city man said he
had never taken such a walk and
when we were found at last and told
SNp back to the barn for the milking
pOr city man was all tired out,
ut what do you suppose he asked
ae farmers boy?"
All the cows shook their heads.
''He asked him when they would
have to do the same thing again, and
how often they had to do til And he
was so surprised when he heard that
we were MIXED twice a day and had
to be brought home twice, too"
They all laughed hard at this, and
then the horse told of how he had
been taken in a motor and brought to
the master that way.
And the COW said "Just what / was
going to tell you. was brought here
in great big motor wagon, and
think it is pretty much of an honor
for COW to have a motor ride. call
myself an up-to-date cow" And all
the others agreed that the COW had
had an unusual adventure.
