Life is made up of number of
pleasant things, including pretty hats,
for little misses like those who look
out at us from the picture above. No
one with existence overshadowed by
an unsatisfactory hat, could look SC
gay and carefree as this trio. Per-
haps it is because this millinery, with
bobbing tassel, pert bow, or flying
ends, is less plain than the majority of
hats made for girls. 1t has velvet
and ribbon and tucks and everything
to make it o joy to pretty wearers,
and we must concede that it matches
up well with dancing curls and merry
eyes.
We just cannot get away from long
mapped furry beaver in children's
hats, but it has not d monopoly in
the smart sailor with upward-rolling
brim at the top of the picture. Here
a soft beehive crown made of row
after row of narrow grosgrain ribbon,
Is set off by the beaver hrim of con-
trasting color. A collar, with knot
and two outstanding ends Of ribbon
at the back puts sprightly finishing
touch to successful hat.
Beaver is again among those present

This took the wind out of his sails

In the iubilation of my freedom and
safety i stopped and looked back at
the house. The holland shade was
drawn downstairs, but as ] looked, a
fnger-I knew it must be monsieur's--
pulled an edge of the shade and an
eye peeped at me.
I was in the midst of grin of de-
rision at him when my eye was caught
by something at an upper window. II

Monsieur, seeing me standing, ap-
parently interested in something hap
pening upstairs, pulled the shade out
little farther. So what did was de-
liberately to cross the street and Sig
nal him to raise the window.
"Raise the window want to speak
to you'll" shouted.
The window was raised about six
inches and monsieur put his evil, ratty
face down to listen.
"Now do your darnedest!" said /.
And then snapped my fingers at him
and walked away.

poses and climes as the competitors
which they are destined to displace,
or at least to share favors with.
The pretty garment and cap at the
left, by contrast with its sturdy COM
panion, is only acting part. 1t is a
sleeveless affair of knitted silk, having
cross-bar in a contrasting color, with
small tassels suspended on silk cords
of the same color, about the bottom.
It is made in the slip-on style, but
opens little way down the front
where a single button and two cords,
ending in tassels, provide fastening
and finish. Not much is required of
it in the way of warmth and it can,
therefore, afford to be sleeveless. The
cloth tam, worn with It, is run with
stitches like the cross-bar in the
sweater in color and narrow girdle OF
the silk is knotted loosely about the
waist. This is an Interpretation of the
sweater for tourists to lands of the
sun. It's mission is less practical than
that of its companion which must face
the STOW, but they both belong in the
category of sports clothes.
Among the very handsome garments
OF the same character for Southern
tourists wear are the sweaters with
fitted body and ripped skirts, crochet
ed Of heavy silk yarn. They have ell
bow sleeves ending in wide ripple,
and without pretense to any useful
ness, other than that Of looking lovely,
they are the most dignified Of all the
offerings for sports wear. The crochet
work is very open, amounting to a
heavy square mesh, for which the
blouse worn provides background.
