When You Go "Hatting."

When you start out to invest. in
your spring hat what is the thing
that you think Of?
Do you think first Of what colors
they" are wearing, what shapes you
have seen pictures Of in the fashion
magazines and in the newSpaperS-or
do you think first and foremost of that
all-important proposition. your own
face and head, and only in a secondary
way of the other things?
Now really, when women buy hats
that they wear only few times and
then poke back on their shelves and
try to forget or bravely send off to
some impecunious country cousin who
accepts. or Is supposed to accept
gratefully any cast-off bit of wearing
apparel that is sent her-hats that
come to such ends are usually those
that are bought by women when they
forget the personal equation.
But with some women this never
seems to matter and they go on wear
ing the hats that do not suit their
type of face with the least concern In
faculty Of looking at their hats and
faces in the glass quite disjointedly.
That is why, then. there are so
many more than middle-aged women
who persistently wear the most trying
sort of brimless hats, apparently con-
Vilceu tnat Such hatS are SIHdlI I.
Smart they may be on younger
race, but the older face is greatly
softened by the half-tone caused by

whose cheeks are sagging heavily.
who wear their hair painstakingly
marcelled and netted and drawn
rather severely away from the race;
They forget that this mode topped
by the severely smart brimless lat
adds years to their appearance.
Sallow or brown-skinned women
frequently make mistakes in selecting
hats of color that accentuates the yell
low and sallow tones of their skin.
Especially fatal are the so-called
henna and mahogany tones that have
persiseed and are appearing again IN
spring millinery.

O1lcloth and patent leather were not

out by artist weavers. The advent OF
ordinary leather into fashionable cos

and when fabrics began to glitter. OIL
cloth was a natural sequence.
Every woman is not sure she wants
to sparkle. She is not confident that
her type permits of this conspicuous
manner OF dressing, for it is often
necessary that the large Saxon type,

Cnpes with OIlcloth Arrive.
If glttering hard substances are not
brought near the face. no woman can
object to them on the score of being
unbecoming. Therefore those who
have apparel in their grasp have seen
in outer garments chance to give
woman what was fashionable with
out asking her to sacrifice what

it has been. There are points of diff

Many an ancient cape will be worn
when the severity of this difficult win
ter has moderated sufficiently to let
women drop their fur coats; but be-
cause of the new tricks many new
wrap of this kind will be bought.
If one has Il brother who was an

other capes must lack. But they are
few and not easily snatched from
masculine wardrobes.
New Wraps Voluminous.
AS to the shaping of these new
wraps that women will wear. with and
without the addition of glittering OIL
cloth, they are excessively wide be-
tween the shoulders and the knees.
The cape that flares at the hem is not
in the picture. If women possess such
garments and cannot. or will not
spend money on new ones, the chance
for alteration lies in the narrowing of
the fullness at the hem, trick which
is not beyond average skill.
The sketch which Is given today
shows the acceptable wrap Of the sea-
son. 1t boasts of the various features
that are incorporated into the pre-
vailing fashions. There is fullness
sufficient at the elbows, bands of oil
cloth to shine and glisten, tucks at
the hem to give solidity and severity,
and simulated collar that mounts
high at the back.

Styles in Finger Nails.

Manicurists are, most of them, q
very conservative lot and few of them
are willing to change their methods
of caring for our finger nails. The
fact is that the very high polish is
no longer in the best form. Nails
that look as if they had been var
nished or rubbed with olive oil are
no longer especially admired, but
many manicurist still feels that
she has cheated her customer If she
does not provide a veritable looking
glass finish. Moreover, the extremely
pointed nail and the nail that is trim
med extremely close at the side has
given place to a nail that is a grace
full oval, only slightly longer than
the finger tip itself. and it is the
exceptional manicurist who seems to
be aware of this fact.
There is always a bit Of class con-
sciousness in the attitude of the fash
tonable woman toward her finger
nails. Once to have well cared-for
nails at all was a mark of rare dis
tinction. The ordinary little house

cry for her to attend to in the man.

But with present conVeniences and

her nails in the pink of condition at
little cost of time or money.
And once, of course. the working
girl could not possibly have fair
finger nails because the only sort of
thing that any but the very excep-
tiona1 woman could do to earn a liv-
ing necessitated hard manual work.
Now even the factory girl who sim
ply guides a complicated machine
needs to do nothing that is incon-
sistent with dainty fingers. And very
frequently her we'll polished and well
shaped nails are a matter of family
pride, so much so that the patient
mother at home, who was reared In
a different generation and never as
pired to we'll manicured nails, is as
anxious as the we'll manicured daugh-
ter to save her from the work at
home that might mar them.
So it has been lately the excep-
tional working girl. rather than the
average. who had ill-kept nails. The
usual working girl went to work
with very highly polished nails. and
the result was. of course, to rob high
ly polished nails of much of their
charm in the eyes of the class con-
scious woman of fashion.
The natural outcome was a reac-
ton against the high polish, extreme
point, and the very long nail. And
this, no doubt, accounts for the fact
that the more exclusive sort of wom-
en- have for the most part abandoned
the high polish.

OF VITAL IMPOR-
TANCE TO WOMEN

The Federal Suffrage Amendment
10 Of vital importance to every woman
voter I'm the United States. True,
women have full suffrage in fifteen
states and are entitled to vote for the
next President in fifteen other states.
but II Is only by final ratification Of
the Federal Suffrage Amendment that
any woman is nationally protected In
her voting rights. Let New York
woman cross the North river into
Jersey and she loses her full suffrage
rights. Let Tennessee woman move
to Alabama and she loses her Presi-
Dental and municipal suffrage rights
In 1915 the Democratic party vote
represented gain Of from 20 per
cent to % per cent over the 1914
election.
In woman suffrage states the per-
centage of gain was from 76 per cent
to 128 per cent.
After Wilson's advocacy Of woman
suffrage, ten woman suffrage states
that had formerly been Republican.
went Democratic.
After the Democratic senate Of the
Sixty-fifth Congress turned down
woman suffrage, nine Of these suffrage
states returned Republicans to Con-
gress.

LIVESTOCK PLAY
MAJOR PART IN
FARM OPERATION

A careful survey OF farm operations
the country over shows that livestock
play major part in every well bal
anced system Of farming. If the farm
er Of today is to build up business
Of farming for the future his slogan
must be better livestock, says l.. A.
Richardson, animal husbandry special
ist Of the Division OF extension, Uni
versity Of Tennessee.
The Tennessee farmer must come to
the realization Of the fact that 40 per
cent OF the boars, 30 per cent Of the
bulls, 90 per cent Of the rams, 70
per cent Of stations and jacks Of the
state are In grade or scrub class. Mr..
Richardson states that conservative
estimate Of the loss TO the state an.
nually thru cattle, hogs, sheep, horses
and mules sired by these scrubs and
grades is close to $7,00R0O0,
A calf from good purebred bull
at weaving time II worth $1,000 more
than one sired by a grade or scrub
bull; pig at weaving time sired by
a purebred boar will bring $3.50 to
$500 more than one sired by scrub
boar; a lamb sired by good purebred
ram is worth an average of $500 more
than one sired by a scrub and colt
sired by purebred stallion or jack
Ia worth $1,000 to $4,000 more than
one by scrub. With this in mind II
is not hard to run the loss to the
state and to the farmer and breeder In
10 the millions of dollars. The above
figures are based on a great many sire
surveys conducted by county agricul-
tural agents in the various counties in
Tennessee.
Not only must the Tennessee farmer
be breeder OF purebred livestock but
he must learn to feed this better live
stock, says Mr.. Richardson. During
the year Of 1919 the average weight Of
all cattle that came on the market at
Jacksonville, Fla, was $50 pounds
New Orleans, 750; st. Louis, 1850
Chicago and Kansas City, 1,150. Any
enc going over these figures will note
an exceptional variation between the
markets of the Central West and the
South. Two things according to Mr..
Richardson are directly responsible
for this. In the first place cattle on
the Northern and Central Western
markets carried more quality as o
result Of breeding. This coupled with
IN ability to feed the better animals
and to grow them out makes the dif.
ference In weight
Another interesting feature to be
taken into consideration is the fact
that cattle marketed In the North are
finished six to eight months earlier
than those marketed In the South
Good bulls, plenty Of feed In the way
Of pasture and winter roughage Is the
answer to this question. The farmer
who Is contented to use scrub sires
must consider that every animal sired
by them lost the owner from $50 ia
$40 per head which may well be called
q direct tax collected by the scrub
sire.
