HATS OF The HOUR
Parisiennes Are Devoted TO the
CIoChe Shapes.
Enormous Picture Types, Worn by
Pretty Women, Are Conspicuous
at the Races.

At the fashionable race meetings
and in all the smartest restaurants,
asserts a Paris fashion writer, one
recognizes that war of hats is in full
swing. Quite early in the spring sea-
son Lewis-who has great influence in
the feminine world--announced the
speedy arrival of very large picture
hats, with wide,. fiat brims and rather
low crowns.
And side by side with these models
he shOwed-at Monte Carlo and Biar-
ritz-cavalier hats of remarkable out
line, the sort of hat that Cecile Sorel
has always worn.
Now it happens that the more &C.
lectic Parisiennes have become devoted
to cloche shapes-large and small. In
fact, so devoted are they to these
charming styles that nothing can in
duce them to look, seriously, at other
models. The favorite hat of the hour
remains the cloche-large or small
At the races one sees enormous pic
ture hats worn by very pretty women,
but these are almost always manne-
Quins, who have been paid to show off
some particular style. 1t is a rare
thing to see a real Partisan elegante
wearing a remarkably wide-brimmed
hat, We shall watch this little milli-
merry war with interest.
At least two of the most influential
milliners Ii Paris are determined to
make big flat-brimmed picture hats
popular, but no one can say, decidedly,
that this effort will be really @uccess-

FASHION BRIEFS

Embroideries show an oriental in
f1uence.
Wool trotteurs are smartly trimmed
with latticed ribbon.
The Florentine neckline is seen in
almost every dressy afternoon gown.
In frocks the skirts are nearly al
ways more elaborate than the bodices
The newest fans are of dyed
Coque feathers mounted in tortoise
shell.
A perky little vest of white linen
embroidered with black silk livens up
the dark tailleur.
No spring wardrobe is complete
without the popular canton crepe
frock. 1t is all the rage just now.
The smart shops are showing all
black underwear. Even milady's night
robe is thing Of clinging black lines
and laees.
Several smart hats have a high
back trimming which Stimulates Span
ish combs. These often are made of
lace or plated malines.
EVenlng gowns SIllIl snow preullec-
ton for gray-and If it is not gray,
then it verges on it by being soft
violet mauve or lustrous blue.
AS the season progresses one will
see the gay hats bedecked with cher
ries, which are now being worn I'M
covered, draped with black lace which
in many cases will reach to the ell
bow. The lace invariably is very soft.
In this season of utter simplicity
deep folds of the material are often
the only trimming allowed-and, by
the way, they are very smart. A
charming organdie dress is thus fash
toned, the waist and skirt each
trimmed with three horizontal folds.

Dams appetite was not as a rule par
ticularly good. But evidently the long
ride had affected him. He simply
didn't have the moral courage to re-
fuse when the elder Lennox heaped
his plate.
Good heavens, l can't eat all that"
he said, as it was passed to him. But
the others laughed and told him to
take heart.
He took heart. It was a singular
thing, but at that first bite his sudden
confidence in his gustatory ability al
most overwhelmed him. So he cut
himself bite Of the tender steak
fully half as generous as the bites that
Bill was consuming across the table.
And its first flavor simply filed him
with delight.
"What is this meat?" he asked.
1--WE certainly tasted it before"
''I'll bet a few dollars that you
haven't, if you've lived all your life
in the Middle West" Lennox an
swered. Maybe you've got what the
scientists call an inherited memory of
It. It's the kind of meat your grand
father used to live On-venisOn."
Soon after dinner Lennox led him
out of the house for his first glimpse
Of the hills in the darkness.
They walked together out to the
gate, across the first of the wide pas
lures where, at certain seasons, Len
nox kept his cattle; and at last they
came out upon the tree-covered ridge.
The moon was just rising. They could
see It casting a curious CLINT over the
very tips Of the pines. But it couldn't
get down between them. They stood
too close, too tall and thick for that,
And for a moment, Dams only sensa-
ton was one Of silence.
"You have to stand still a moment
to really know anything" Lennox told
him.
They both stood still. Dan was as
motionless as that day in the park
long weeks before, when the squirrel
had climbed on his shoulder. The first
effect was a sensation that the silence

after which the center may be painted
darker shade with a camel's hair
brush. The edges of the petals may
be tinted by dipping them in a bowl of
less dilute colOring matter. The flow
ers may be dried by placing a weight
on the stems and allowing them to
hang from the edge Of a table or shelf.
The appearance Of the flowers is i'm
proved by trimming off all frayed
edges.
Malines, chiffon and laces are best
cleaned in gasoline. They may be col
ored by a solution of oil paints and
gasoline or if they can be washed in
water without injury, colored soaps
will be found satisfactory in giving
them new colOrs. Malines may be
freshened by passing it before the
spout of a kettle from which a small
amount of steam is coming. Care
should be taken to prevent the mate
rial from becoming too moist.

The everyday life of many housewives
is a continual struggle with weakness
and pain. There is nothing more wear
ing than the ceaseless round of house,

when some female trouble makes every
bone and muscle ache, and nerves allon

SYNOPSIS.

Warned by his physician that he
has not more than six months to
live, Failing sits despondently on a
park bench, wondering where he
should spend those six months. A
friendly SO lirrel practically decides
the matter for him. His blood Is
pioneer blood, and he decides to
end his days in the forests of Ore
gon. Memories Of his grandfather
and a deep love for all things Of
the wild help him in reaching a
decision. In q large southern
r. Oregon city he meets people who
had known and loved his grand
father, a famous frontiersman. He
makes his home with Silas Lennox,
typical westerner. The only 9TH
er members of the household are
Lennox's son, "Bill," and daugh-
ter, "Snowbird." Their abode is
many miles from "civillzation," in
the Umpqua divide, and there
Failing plans to live out the short
span of life which he has been
told is his. His extreme weakness
in the face Of even slight exer-
ton convinces him that the doctor
had made a correct diagnosis Of
his case. From the first Failing's
health shows a marked improve
ment, and in the compaElonship of
Lennox and his son and daughter
he fits into the woods life as If he
had been born to 1t. BY quick
thinking and a remarkable display
Of nerve" he saves Lemons life
and his own when they are at
tackled by a mad coyote. Lennox
declares he is reincarnation of
HIS grandfather, Dan Failing /,
whose fame as woodsman is a
household word.

Homemade Flavors.'

The making of homemade flavor
ing to give palatableness and savori-
ness to viands need not entail much
labor. For cakes, buildings and
sauces, many new combinations may
be used. Lemon and vanilla is an old
colonial idea, just as is orange and
lemon. Try lemon flavoring with
peach, cherry, apricot and mocha,
Orange with raspberry, pineapple
nutmeg and cinnamon.

was deepening around them II wasn't
really true. 1t was simply that he
had become aware of the little con-
tinuOus sounds OF which usually he
was unconscious. and they tended to
accentuate the hush Of the night. He
knew, just as all mOuntaineers know,
that the wilderness about him was
stirring and pulslng with life. Some
of the sounds were quite clear-an
+ occasional stir of pebble or the crack
of twig, and some, like the faintest
twitching of leaves in the brush not
ten feet distant, could only be guessed
at
"What is making the soundsT' he
asked.
He. didn't know Il, at the time, but
Lennox turned quickly toward him. It
wasn't that the question had surprised
the mountaineer. Rather 1t was the
tone In which Dan had spoken. It was
perfectly cool. perfectly self-cOn-
tanned.

don't know what the others are; no
one ever does know. Perhaps ground
squirrels, or rabbits, or birds, and
maybe one Of those harmless old black
bears who is curious about the house.
And tell me-can you smell any
thing"
"Good Lord, Lennox can smell all
kinds of things"
"Pm glad. Some men can't. No one
can enjoy the woods If he can't smell.
Part Of the smells are Of flowers. and
part Of balsam, and God only knows
what the others are. They are just
the wilderness"
Dan could not only perceive the

CHAPTER discontinued.

"Of course-but sit down now, any
way. I'm sorry that Snowbird isn't
here"
"Snowbird is"
''My daughter. My boy, she can
make a biscuit That's not her name,
of course, but we've always called her
that. She got tired of keeping house
and is working this summer. Poor
Bill has to keep house for her, and
no wonder he's eager to take the stock
down to the lower levels. / only wish
he hadn't brought 'em up this spring
at all; I've lost dozens from the
coyotes"
''But a coyote can't kill cattle"
at can if it has hydrophobia, a COM
mon thing in the varmints this time of
year. But as say, Bill will take the
stock down next season, and then
Snowbird's work will be through, and
she'll come back here"
"Then she's down in the vaIley?"
"Far from it. She's a mountain
girl If one ever lived. Perhaps you
don't know the recent policy of the
forest service to hire women when
they can be obtained. It was a policy
started in war times and kept up now
because It is economical and efficient.
She and a girl from college have
cabin not five miles from here on old
Bald mountain, and they're doing look
out duty"
Dan wondered intensely what look
cut duty might be. "YOu see, Dam"
Lennox said In explanation, "the gov
eminent loses thousands Of dollars
every year by forest fire. A fire can
be stopped easily If 1t is seen soon
after It starts But let 1t burn awhile,
in this dry season, and it's a terrOr-a
wall of flame that races through the
forests and can hardly be stopped.
And maybe you don't realize how
enormous this region is-literally hun
dreds of miles across. We're the last
OutpOst-there are four cabins, If you
can find them, In the first seventy
miles back to town. So they have to
nut lOokouts on the high points, and
now they're coming to the use Of air
planes so they can keep even better
watch. Snowbird and a girl friend
from college got Jobs this summer as
IoOkouts-all through the forest serv-
ice they are hiring women for the
work. They are more vigilant than
men, less inclined to take chances,
and work cheaper. These two girls
have a cabin near spring. and they
cook their own food, and are making
what is big wages in the mountains.
I'm rather hoping she'll drop over for
a few minutes tonight"
"Good LOrd-dOes she travel over
these hills in the darknessT
The mountaineer laughed-a de-
lighted sound that came somewhat
curiously from the bearded lips of the
stern. dark man. Dan, I'll swear she's
afraid of nothing that walks the face
of the earth-and 1t isn't because she
hasn't had experience either. She's q
dead shot with a pistol, for one thing
She's physically strong, and every
muscle Is hard as nails. She used &c
have Shag. too-the best dog in all
these mountains. She's a mountain
girl I tell you; whoever wins her has
got to be able to tame herl" The
nountaIneer laughed again.
The call to supper came then, and
Dan got his first sight Of mountain
food. There were potatoes, newly
dug, mountain vegetables that were
crisp and cold. a steak Of peculiar
shape, and a great bowl Of purple Der
rlss to be eaten with sugar and cream

Ieweled Ornaments.

Jeweled ornaments catch up the
draperies of dance frocks. Turquoise
cabochin surrounded with brilliants
or canoes are particularly fashionable
for this purpose. The new corsets are
designed to give an absolutely fiat
back, but are slightly higher over the
bust and the sides curve inward a
trifle. Black silk jersey cOrsets are
extremely popular with Parisiennes
now.

Unity Of Decoration.

It is charming to match the cur
tains, bedspreads, lamp shades and

embroidery on each. Pretty and easy
to achieve the hand touch is APP
pliqued silk or cotton crepe in a floral
or fruit design. Just single motif
on each article gives a unity of dec
grafton that is pleasing.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB :

MISUNDERSTANDING

TN PARIS, when our soldier boys
/ were on leave and seeing the sights
Of the great city, it was common to
meet an American girl taking a
bunch of the boys through one or
the other of the useum that make
part of it's glories. They made these
trips interesting by telling stories
about many of the famous pictures and
statues.
Anna Curtis Chandler is doing some
thing of the same sort in her Sunday
Story Hour for children in the Metro
pOlitan museum in New York city. She
confines her work to the lecture hall,
with ~stereopticon slides. But there
is an idea here that might be carried
out In many of our smaller cities and
towns. There are often excellent lit
tie museums in such towns whose o n
tents, If they were brought to the at
tention of the young people, and the
older ones, too, would add immensely
to the appreciation and understanding
of art and beauty in a community, as
well as to the knowledge of the his
tory of art. A clever girl who wished
to do this sort of work would have to
take a course in art history. She
would need to understand the different
periods, to know the masters. She
would be able to find much interest
ing material on which to build her
stories, much human interest, too.
Working with the cooperation of the
curator, and advertising her talks in
a way that would attract her fellow
townsmen, she might make a real sue
cess of this now little-worked form of
Misunderstanding.

her. "Oh, now, Katherine she said

COUNCIL OF ACRI
CULTURE ORGANIZED

Helena, May Reorganization of
through which farm and livestock in
terests of the state can express them
selves in a united way on questions
of common interest was launched at
the capitol in Helena, Monday by
representatives of 16 farm, breed,
and allied associations. An execu-
tive committee of five was named to
draft a constitution and bylaws and
report back at a meeting that prob
ably will be held at Helena next fair
week. George NJ. Lewis of Manhat-
tan, secretary of the Montana Pure
Bred Sheep association is chairman
of the committee, and the other
members are w. B. Harlan of Como,
president of the Montana Farm Bur-
eau federation, E. K. Bowman of
Helena, secretary of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union;
w. M. Burlingame of Great Falls,
president of the Montana branch of
the American Society of Equity and
j. D. Veach, of Helena, of the Mon
tana Poultry Breeders association.
1t is the expectation of Commits
sioner Chester C. Davis of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who called
the conference of representatives of
farm organizations, that this Mon
tana Council of Agriculture will act
in an advisory capacity to the depart
ment and thus keep it in close and
active contact with the real farmers
of the state.
Commissioner Davis outlined to
the conference the scope and respon-
sibility of the department of agri-
culture, and bespoke for it the help
and cooperation of all farm and live
stock organizations, explaining this
is necessary in view of the limited
funds available, if the department is
to function in the broadcast way on
behalf of the farmers. A market
news service, a cooperative crop sta
LlSIlCdl ScINICe participated III JOlib
ly by the state, the federal crop SER
vice and the extension service, and
a check over the butter fat tests
of cream and milk buyers in the
state are among a number of new
projects contemplated by Commits
sioner Davis.
Spokesman for the organizations
represented, pledged their coopera-
ton to the state department of ag-
riculture in its efforts on behalf of
Montana producers.
In turning the conference owe to
the representatives of the farm or
CARNATIONS to do as they saw fit con-
corning the formation of a Council
of Agriculture, Commissioner Davis
suggested that such problems as tax
alton, transportation, and credit and
finance which are of pressing impor-
tance to farmers at this time, could
best be handled through such a
council.
