THERE is nothing like new hat
i to cheer up the sad hearts OF
women who must regretfully put be-

first hint of frost, is the death knell Of
tate summer hats-they are pathetic in

Above, a group Of hats for early fall

the new modes-their handmade ele-

One of the new members of the

garded as q somewhat eccentric per-

ishment aboard transport on her trip
to the bomb-dropping experiments on
the Virginia capes. :, Examining an in

informed it was range finder, he in

he looked through the big end instead
of the little one and then complained
he could not see anything. He fol
lowed this with a denunciatiOn OF
naval policy which permitted the pur'
chase of such useless things.
But the thing that interested some
of his colleagues most was the fact
that he brought no baggage aboard. not
even a toothbrush, so far as anybody
could find out.
"Why should bring any baggage?"
he asked. "We're only going to be gone

Improved Lawn Mower.

A lawn mower that will successful
ly cut the grass on the incline Of a
terrace and that will not require its
operator to pull it up and down, nor
run up and down the grass bank HIM
self, is described in Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. In construction the
new device does not differ greatly
from the old-style lawn mower. In
stead Of the stationary handle, the
new machine has a pivoted handle
set on toothed quadrant. BY lifting
a stop pin from between the teeth OF
the quadrant, and setting it to the
desired point, the mower is brought
into an angular position relative to
the operator, so that he can cut a
lengthwise swath on the slope with
out leaving the ground level.

TAFFETA has accounted for the
L majority of the summers silk
frOcks used alone and in combination
with other materials. FOulard is well
represented, but hardly ever alone,
nearly always in the company OF
georgette crepe. These with crepe
de chine, are written in this history OF
the styles as all Of equal importance
and have been made into simple
frocks and more elaborate gowns

drawn out. The simpler silk frocks,
