Turbans win not swing the pendu-
Ium of fashion this season. Even
now when they are popular for street
wear and afternoon wear they are
not the dominating fashion of the
hour. Altho the small hat always
has a place and appears to possess
the power to remain fashionable in
all seasons the hat with brim OF
some kind will surely lead oil others
when real summer arrives. Just now
hats with brims are having great
vogue at the southern colonies.
1t is said by critics that no woman
over thirty-five should wear a hat
without a brim, as Che eyes need
shading and the thinness Of the
temples need fattening. Altho that
may be sound advice based on
reason and artistic perception. most
women act otherwise, AS soon as
women reach the questionable age
they begin to think of turbans which
more often than not make the face
look hard and faded. This is per-
haps the reason that youth has had
so little to do with the turban. It
he's felt that tho tI1rhan was the nm
disputed property of age. Youthful

One Cent Piece Not
Passing.--Just See What
You Can Buy With II

Why worry about the high cost OF
living when there are so many things
that can DO bought for penny?
Folks talk about the nickel being n
thing OF the past as far MS It's pur-
chasing power goes. but II is all
bunk" for an Insignificant 1-cent
piece will buy many articles, and
with careful selection, so cents
should be almost enough TO start n
young couple in housekeeping.
First, they must have picture post
cards. to notify their friends OF their
marriage, these can be had by the
dozen for penny apiece, and a
l-cent stamp will send them any
where in the United States, II they
are fortunate enough 10 have the
curtain shades, the brackets TO hold
them only cost penny pair ana
coat hooks for the closet are five for
nickel. Key rings and pencils,
both indispensable 10 the well reSu-
lated household are priced as low as
1-cent, and bottle caps, upon which
there has been such Il run lately, are
five cents a dozen.
But what would home be without
a mouse trap. These, however, come
u little higher, and must be classed
as luxuries. The price on them is
now l 2-3 cents apiece, or three for
a ,,;,l-,r L>,r a D,,, spp,apt Nya bnVp
the old favorite game of jack
stones. coming at cents a dozen;
cheap enough for any lover OF IN
door sports. Collar buttons are
bought by the foot now, 10 cents
foot. or seven buttons for cents.
Tin teaspoons, and paper plates,
tho not so serviCeabie as sterling and
Haviland, will serve their purpose.
and the spoons cost only l cent each
and the plates which sell at cents
a dozen, would be cheap at double
the price.
For lighting purposes, the newly
weds can use candles, at a penny
apiece, and paper napkins, not only
save buying high priced linen, but
also save laundry bills. These sell
for as low as twenty-five for a
nickel.
Who could be extravagent enough
to ask for more than an all day
sucker. or a lOllypop, for lunch? This
solves the eating question, and all
for a penny. If you want more than
this. get a penny package of vege-
table seeds and raise your own

faces which need no softenins are
usually shaded with brim, but this
year fashion favors brims on hats
for young and old alike.
The brims of this spring have no
set rule of conduct. They may tilt
downward at back and front, uplift-
ing at sides or they may be scooped
in front, rolled upward in back and
tilted so far downward at the sides
that they suggest the poke bonnet.
They are two inches or six inches
wide, they may be stiff and regular
or they flop and whirl in the breeze
like pieces of fur. All of which T.
significant of the fact that a woman
may please herself.
Here are two pretty styles which
will be good for wear all thru the
summer season. The one above Is
fashioned of tan straw fabric trim
med with old rose. The old rose
binds the brim and forms a band
about they crown and embroidery in
that same shade trims the crown.
The other hat is a smart little sailor
shape with a turned up brim. 1t Is
henna and the facing taupe. A band
nf the two colors of straw is braided
! about the crown.
