HAT SHOULD SUIT THE FACE
Woman Who Has Passed Prime Knows
There Is Certain Type She
Should Wear.

"The vintage of 1907" teacher
said the other day in referring to her
hat, which some one had been admir-
ing for, having bought good hat IN
that far-off time, she has it renovated
and renewed every winter. One merit
that the hat possesses is that 1t hts
and suits her style, for it becomes
more and more difficult for women
who have passed their first youth to
find hats that are suited" to them. A
favorite milliner makes the same hat
over year after year and, while it new
er loses its look of smartness, 1t Is not
in the style. But the woman who mas
passed her prime knows that there IS
a certain kind of hat that she must
wear. Mrs. Harding is said to have
adopted almost exclusively the tricon
shape, which is a very good hat
for a woman of her age. One will lind
that the best dressed women are those
who wear hats that are becoming to
them and do not trouble about the
latest fashion. The milliner who re-
alizes this will not try to persuade the
woman of middle age to wear any of
the stylish shapes. Can one con-
ceive of anything more pathetic than
a woman of middle age with tam-o'-
shanter perched coquettishly upon her
hair, unless it happens that the "tam"
is the only style that is really becom-
ing to her?

FUTURE CITY WILL BE CLEAN
Declaration That Electricity Will

DIR. Charles A. Steinmetz, Electrical
wizard of Schenectady" believes it
will be illegal to build fire in the
limits of the cities of the future. which
will be smokeless and dustless. He
made this prediction at dinner Of
the Bala-Cynwyd Neighborhood club
in Philadelphia. He painted a word
picture Of a present-day city in the
throes Of an Electricity strike and
showed how a city depends on cleo
tricity in transportation and manufac-
turing.
"But." said Doctor Steinmetz, "al-
though we are absolutely dependent
on our electricity today, we have still
only begun to use it. In the city pres
ent methods Of manufacture will be
replaced with electrical methods. The
present city, with it's dust and smoke,
will be unknown. It will be against
the law to have fire in the city linz
its. Life then will be worth living In

Heat Seeps Out Of Walls.

Engineers find it takes two or three
times as much fuel as it should to heat
the ordinary dwelling.
That is because houses frequently
are not built to conserve heat, or for
any purpose but to sell.
The way to heat a room economical
ly is to insulate it. Most persons
know that air space in walls conserves
heat. But this is true only If the walls
hold dead air. Most walls and ceilings
aren't tight enough. Hot air goes
through them like water through a net.
Banking up lower walls Of houses
with dry leaves and earth still is
practiced in cold states, particularly
in the country. But most city and
town houses can be made tighter with
little effort The insulation of walls
and ceilings can be improved, and
much coal saved.
It's worth considering in places
where fuel is scarce or costly. An
examination of many houses will show
that the occupants literally are trying
to cheat all outdoors"

Thou Shalt Not Covet,

Some one has said that covetousness
is the supreme sin of today. This is
ro new truth, for covetousness has al

ase. Through the words of the proph-
cts in Old Testament times, God put
the responsibility for rebuking this sin
OIL is servants who taught the people
and who led them in spiritual things
In l>aiah's time, God said: "FOr the
iniouities of his covetousness 1 smote
him." Paul placed covetousness in
the same category as idolatry. The
great soul-destrOying sins recorded
in the Word of God all had their root
in coyetousness. Even Jesus warned
His hearers of it's seductive influences
when He said: 'Take heed and be-
vare of covetousness."

A survey Of the attempts of many
modern farmers to create a humaniz-
ing atmosphere around the farm house
shows that this effect Is accomplished
by psychological barriers, screens and
Enclosures. The work appliances of
the farm are necessarily in such close
proximity to the house that exclusion
is done by suggestion, rather than by
actual shutting out of every scintilla
of farm work. The low wall, the

vines, are mental screens. We can

IN DRAPED EFFECT
Improvement on Ultra-Decoilete

Dinner Gowns Cling at Hem, While
They Are Full Over

It Is very interesting, writes Paris
fashion correspondent, to note what
Worth is doing with regard to eve
ming dresses this season. This NAL
son has always been celebrated for Its
gorgeous dinner gowns and toilettes
for ceremonious occasions. 1t Is not
here that one looks for eccentric mod
els nor for sensational displays, but
Worth sets the styles for women OF
refined taste, and so it is necessary to
look closely at what he designs.
This season he is showing very love-
ly dinner gowns which have draped
effect Several of his best models
seem to cling at the hem while they
are full over the hips. In some cases
there is distinct train, cut in with
the dress itself.
This is a welcome innovation, and
one which likely will prove very popu-
lar. For long time past nearly all
our evening trains have been separate
from the dress-arranged in scarf
fashion and often in twin-form-one
at either side. Or we have had court
trains-these chiefly for wedding
dresses. But it is evident that Worth
intends to revive genuine trains, cut
with the dress and forming part of 1t.
Trains of this order are specially
suitable for matrons or for women OF
full figure. The picturesque scarf
train is also much in evidence, but II
will no longer be considered the only
possible.
