0INCE 1t is the part of beauty and
~ style in dress to impart pleasure,
gifted designers of millinery are gseat
assets to civilized peoples. In hats
the fancy has freer play than in other
apparel; they may be more unusual
In shape and more COlOrful than al
most anything else with which women
undertake to express their love for
beauty in color and form. Our re-
spect for the milliners art increases
as we learn more and more about 1t
and recognize the fine discrimination
with which they clothe and adOrn
heads so as to reveal character, and
express personality. At the same time
they reflect in headwear "the- glory
Of the year." the joys and vicissitudes
Of the seasons.
The four hats shown in the group
above proclaim the heart Of summer.
At the top there is a graceful flaring-
brimmed dress hat having a crown
Of satin ribbon and a braid brim of
silky straw that turns upward and
sweeps backward at the left front.
Here wide ribbon is posed on the briln
in three deep plaits and in each plait
berries and other fruit, leaves and
grasses, all made with loving fidelity
to nature, compel our admiration.

demands of formal dress.
Just below it is another model for
formal wear. It has crown Of satin

PRODUCE REVIEW

A general "Swat the Rooster"
movement is now on throughout the
producing States, and it is expected
the marketing will continue for the
next three or four weeks.
The following extract from Bulle-
tin No. 8, Missouri State Poultry Ex-
perimental Station, IS quoted
''The one fault in the management
of farm flocks which, from the view
point of improving the quality of
eggs. is worse than all others COM
bined, is the almost universal prac-
tice of allowing the males the free
dom of the flock after the Matching
season is over. Nine tenths of the
vast number of eggs that are candled
out every summer as unfit for food
are fertile eggs in which the germ has
started to develop. A temperature
of seventy degrees will start the
germ in fertile egg to slowly de-
veloping. A fertile egg, subjected to
temperature of one hundred de-
gres for twenty-four hours, will be
unfit for food, while an infertile egg
may be subjected to the same tenn
perature for week and still be per-
fectly good for cooking purposes.
The simple expedient of shutting up
or disposing of the adult male birds
as soon as the Matching season is
over, if it should become the general
custom. would result in the saving
of millions Of dollars worth of eggs

Music is q language of sound.
Every home needs music. Children are

cient Greek gave music the first place
in the education Of little children and
modern educators are beginning to do
the same. Musical games, folk
dancing, and good songs add to the
happiness of little children, and
every mother should be able to play
simple songs.
The reason why so much money
