I Hats for Late Spring, !, |,
New Models Are Developed as
the Season Advances.
Transparent Headgear Of Black Silk
Braid Finely Meshed Among
the Latest Styles.

By this time the question Of spring
millinery is well settled, yet every day
we see new models. It is yet little
early to attempt the charming soft
straw sport hat, and yet by this time
one is little weary Of the first spring
chapeau purchased several months
ago. And again the ingenuity Of the
designer has solved the problem and
is Offering some delightful hats for
the between season.
Transparent hats Of black silk braid
anely meshed are among the newer
models. One hat in this style shows
round beehive crown and then rolls
ts brlm up softly across the front to
.eveal milady's lovely face. It encir-
cles the crown with q slim Jet cord
and unexpectedly drops two long jet
pendants at either side Of the rolled
5rim. This hat shows ones carefully
coiffeured hair to advantage and Is
especially good for dressy wear.
Gay feathers faunt their smartmess
to an admiring world this season, and
green in all its lovely shades Is the
predominating color at this time.
Sometimes the feathers are laid across
the front of q straw hat with turned
up brim, and are then carefully ma
lined against the strong breeze.
l. Often an otherwise plain hat WILL
become quite distinctive If one adds
feather Of two at the right angle
and chooses becoming color.
Orange, brick red, turquoise blue and
violet are the colors ore might con-
slider if the green Is undesirable.
We are a little tired Of wool en-
broidery, so now appear smart hats
of straw or taffeta cleverly done In
motifs Of bright raf1a scattered
over the dark surface. The use OF
raf1ia has indeed been promoted from
the Kindergarten to the dignity OF
gracing milady's hats or gowns, and
very original it is, too. The flowers
are used in profusion on the upper
brim Of large soft hat Of black straw
and form a chain.

hfnfs for Cleaning and Sizing Floor
Coverings for Those Far From
Cleaners.

For the benefit Of those living far
from a cleaners, here are hints as to
cleaning and sizing carpets and rugs
given by a professional carpet man:
first, warm water and good white
soap, free from alkali, will not hurt
any good woolen carpet, either domes-
tic or oriental.
Ordinary grease spots should be re-
moved with a cloth wet in gasoline; {;
cream or milk spots may be removed
with warm water and soap. followed
BY a good rinsing; jam. fruit. etc.,
with clear, cold water, followed by hot,

under the rug in oil these cases to
save the floor.
For an annual cleaning something
more Is needed. After removing all

with warm soapsuds, rubbing down
with the nap. Then nail It face ont.

kitchen has been established, where
families may purchase a cooked meal.
much Of the labor, fuel and good
health Of the women may be con-
served. Where the servant problem
was difficult In days past it is now un-
solvable, for we are coming to the
place where "there amt no such AMI
NAL :" they are not to be had at any
price.
The labor saving in this plan Is
worth considering. IF 40 homes In any
community bought meals, even the
saving Of dish-washing (as the dishes
in Some places are sent and returned
to be washed) would give the house
mother many hours day to attend to
other household duties, saving her
strength, good looks and temper.
Instead of using the telephone to
order the days supply of foods or mar
keting from place to place, In towns
where cooperative or community
kitchens are established, she simply
orders the meal prepared for that day,
and it is delivered in piping-hot recep-
tacles, with dishes for serving If so
desired. In a few minutes the meal
is on the table, and afterward there
are no cooking dishes to be washed.
A motor appears and gathers the FOOD
containers; these will be washed IN
steam vats, hundreds Of them at once.
The economy of this enterprise VIII

III the forty or hundred homes pre-
pairing that meal. Food bought IN
such quantitiesran be purchased much
cheaper, as everyone knows.
These community =, kitchens have
proved successful in several cities, and
are growing in popularity. The cost
of the plant, to begin with, the salary
Of the manager and helpers, has all
been met with a fair profit In most
cases, and so far this seems to be the
only ray Of light for the servantless
home.
