Unless the June bride has her we'd
ding procession pictured in her own
mind, down to the last detail, she is
likely TO have some anxious quarter
hours rendering the subject of her
bridesmaids millinery Now is the
time to decide the matter, for June
will soon be here and those enterpris-
ing and capable people who anticipate
all millinery needs have launched mid
summer hats that almost sing the we'd
ding march. Four Of them are pic
tured here. The bride can weigh
their merits and select any one of
them; there Is no chance of making a
mistake, for these are all exquisite ex-
amples of summary headwear suited

To Make Sewing silk Run Evenly.

When the silk thread on the ma
chine runs off the spool too fast, and
causes ii to tighten around the spin
die, cut a piece of plotting paper or
thick cloth, make a hole in the cen
ter and slip on the spindle before The
spool, and you will have no more trou-
BILE.
Cutting Bias Bands.
An excellent way TO cut and point
bias bands is in the following man
ner: With ruler and something
which will mark the cloth-chalk for
dark colors and hard pencil for
light are good if not used too heavily
mark the bands on the material.
Then carefully join the two ends of
the cloth so that the chalk lines ex-
actly meet, only have the first line
on one end meet the second on the
other, thus forming spiral. Stitch
on the machine; then with needle
and thread put q few secure stitches
each side of the marks TO stay the
stitching. With sharp scissors begin
at the place where the first band ex-
tends beyond the second, and cut
round and round, following the chalk
line, until the whole is cut into one
piece all perfectly joined.
An Economical Way to Braid.
A simple and economical way to
braid is to trace the design on tissue
paper, then haste to the material that
Is to be braided. Proceed to sew on
the braid, sewing through both paper
and material, until the design has been
all covered with the braid, after which
remove the paper by carefully tear
ing 1t off. The paper is protection
to delicate material while braiding,
although 1t works equally as well on
dark material.
An excellent substitute for hutton
holing is found in the use of the fa-
miliar coronation braid. 1t may be
whipped along any edge where but
tonholing is commonly used. This is
suggested for garments made of in
expensive material for general use.

HOW SOME AUTO

Quick al thought our driver swung outward so that the wheels were nearly cyer the embankment, while the murderer in the other car but on his brakes.

In France and Germany it is called .Ouasinodo Sunday from the first word of the Introt of the Mass.
 In the MissaI and Breviary the name is ..Dominica in Albis,'' because then the newly baptized Con Holy Saturday, wore their white robes for the last time St. Augustine mentions this custom in ser mon for the day.
 The Easter solemnities in Catholic Tit ual are continued till the feast of Pente- cost Special chants and the repetition of Alleluia in all services distinguishes the Easter or Paschal time from the other seasons of the church.
 The liturgical observances of the church during the season are most impressive. Chief among these is the Paschal Candle, which is solemnly blessed on Holy Satur- day. At St. Paul's, visitors remark the enormous candle and candlestick in the sanctuary. This candle is lighted al services from Easter to Ascension Thurs day. It is symbolic of the Risen Christ.
