VERMONT BAPTIST CHURCHES GIVE
 MINISTER'S S1,20O

The dictum of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. to the effect that no man ought to be expected to support a family decently on less than S1,200 a year seems to have been accepted in Ver mont. While a recent survey re- vealed the fact that Baptist ministers throughout the country with the eX- ception of a few in the larger cities received an average wage of only $6s3 a year, or .s1.37 a day, Yer mont Baptists today are paying their preachers an average of $1.20e a year and house-rent.
 Moreover there is a movement on foot to raise the minimum pay of St,000 year and house rent, which was fixed at a meeting of the Yer mont Baptist State Convention last September, to $1,200 year and rent, which would bring the lowest paid minister in the State to within strik- ing distance of the present average salary.
 Many churches have not only add ed materially to their pastors pay checks but have also provided suit able parsonages thereby relieving the preachers family budget from the frightful inroads of the profiteering landlords.

Very important is the small hat, which goes with the tailored cos tune, and doubly important is such q hat when it is just elaborate enough to be worn with the summer after noon frock, as well with the tail leur. For the summer season, small hats are just as popular and as fash ionable the larger ones, and when. they are. as uniquely and as attrac- lively trimmed as the little model above, they are sure to fill that largo place in your dress program.
 This hat is made of red cel1ophane and dark blue grosgrain ribbon. The ribbon is used for the top of the crown. as a facing for the brim, and is tied in double bows to give the eff feet of wings about the crown.

In these days of the high cost of living and gowning, designers of fashions have at last caught the spirit of economy and are turning out more and more designs which are ex ceptionally useful as well as orna- mental. For example, witness this favorite wrap of the mode which is equally acceptable for evening wear, for street wear or for those short motor trips where a cape which en- tirely covers the daintiest frock is a necessity.
 It is made of dark blue satin un- relieved by any other color. The 1ustrous sheen of the material and the very fashionable lines of the cape make this a wrap which will be well come in every woman's wardrobe. Coleman street.
