Other suede hats are heavily encrust-
and bits of Jade and pearl are ranged
in close groups to give flashing color.
You can call the new crown, with
it's sharply cut segments, by the name
of jockey or cantaloupe. The name

This crown is used with and with
out a brim. Its segments are not In
differing colors. They are subdued by
being of the same fabric and color.
There are turbans that look
Chinese-and that is where the fash
ion for these segments came from.
One only wants the mandarin's but

blance.. Curiously enough. the French
milliners put a small veil. Venetian

! This is done with black hats. The
brown felt and suede ones usually
have a slight brim, and al ornamen-
tation there are the two short jeweled
hatpins, facing each other at close
quarters, placed in front Of the hat. .
This is the first appearance tn years
Of the ornamental hatpin. but no one
holds these absurdly short sticks re-
sponsible for keeping on the hat.
They are mere frivolity.
1t is prophesied that the huge

Sleep walking is the actual enact

in some respects and awake In others
For instance. his pain sense Is absent
yet his sense Of touch is very keen
Some Of the special senses, such as
sight and hearing, may be active, SO
far as things concerned in the sub
ject's dream are concerned, yet he
neither sees nor hears anything which
10 not part Of his dream. The .volun-
tary muscle apparatus is wide awake
ana responsive to the mind. In short,
the subjects state IL strikingly simi-
lar to the state Of hypnotism. We
might say the sleep walker is hypno-
tixed by his own subconsciousness.

Housewives Hobby.

Wouldn't Il be satisfaction to you
to think that concerning some one
phase OF housekeeping you knew
more and had more skill than any
other woman in your neiGhborhood3
Wouldn't you find it. worth while
to mako little hobby of some one
phase Of housework? There is al
ways q pleasure that comes from
gaining more than superficial knowl-
edge about anything. Almost any
subject becomes interesting when you
know enough about it. The process
and work of doing the family wash
IL drudgery to thousands Of women,
but to some few in many thousand
it 10 deeply interesting. because they
have gained extraordinary knowledge
Of laundry work and laundry meth
DDS. They know the nature Of diff
ferent reagents used in washing
just why borax affects the clothes
somewhat differently from ammonia,
and both these reagents very differ
emily from washing soda. They know
how to test new washing powders
and other laundry preparations to
tell whether they are injurious to the
clothes or not. They know why the
sun makes clothes white and why
many white fabrics become yellow
when laid away in a dark place.
There are dozens Of possible hob
bies for the housewife relating direct
ly to her household problems. There
10 the herb and savory garden where
the housewife may grow chives and
peppergrass. mustard and sage for
her own use. and where she can grow
for her own use or distribution herbs
and savories brought from other
land1
Some housewives who delight in
fine linens make a hobby of having
attractive tableclothes and napkins.
They become judges Of good linen
and never buy a bit OF it without
bringing their expert judgment to
bear on the subject.
Basketry makes an excellent house
wifery hobby. The housewife who
has become really skilled in making
baskets is never at a loss to have at
tractive and substantial waste bas-
kets work baskets and garden bas-
kets and she finds a dozen uses for
baskets that the usual housewife
never dreamed of.

You remember that Russian turban,
turned straight up in the front, with
its snail embroidery? Also her twist
ed turban embroidered In! pearls and
sapphires? Each Of these swept over
our continent like a prairie fire.
This autumn she shows . curious
Italian hat swinging back to the days
of Faust and Marguerite, as do all
her new costumes. 1t starts out to
be large skull cap covering the hair
completely, except the small scurls
over the ears, but across this high
cap, extending from ear to ear, goes
a wide upright band Of the material
which curves over the top. That's all
there is to that.
Lanvin makes this hat in black.
purple and gray velvet also in ham
mered gold and silver tissue. Over the
latter she throws q softening veil of
fine old lace, 50 fragile in its texture
that It does not add to the heaviness
Of the metallic tissue, but gives it
lightness.
This is not an easy hat to wear.
Whether or not it will be popular in
America is difficult to say. 1t may
influence other millinery.
French women have worn suede
hats since the season commenced to
be cold instead Of warm. so they are
not new, but they are important. 1t
has been a difficult year in Europe for
clothes. Traces of snow In London,
winds that blew sharp and cold, in
sistent rain ~ the seashore. in the
mountains. chilly mornings and chill
lier nights, have set Americans to
wonder why they did not bring flannel

School Dressing

The tendency for overelaborate
school dressing seems to be on the
wane. at least among the better class
of children. Some private schools
have rather strict regulations con-
cerning what children may and may
not wear to school. But often this is
not necessary. for parents themselves
realize the inapproprtateness OF or
nate school clothea In some schools
one might think that the regulation
sailor suit or MILDLY blouse has been
chosen for a uniform, 20 many OF the
children appear In that type Of dress.
Even in warmer Weather the wash
able sailor suits are worn Some
mothers select washable MILDLY
blouses to be worn with dark skirts
over bloomers for the entire year.
Among older girls slip-on sweaters,
worn with neat cuffs and collars or
over shirt waists with cuffs ana COL
lars showing are very generally Sc
lected
Transparent silk stockings are
gradually going by the board for
school hours. Silk and wool mixed
stockings, though expensive, wear ex-
tremely we'll and do not appear over
elaborate.
The young girl who does not take
very kindly to plain clothes for school
hours can often be converted IL she
is reminded that one of the greatest
charms a girl can possess is variety.
To be able to wear dainty dancing
slippers and a pretty evening frock
to advantage in the evening. and then
to appear the next day completely
transformed into an athletic young
person in sailor suit, straight-heeled
shoes, adds to her winsomeness.

But so far as l recall none of the

One takes ii for granted that she will
make a go of 1t, for she is a woman
OF tried executive ability-tried particu-

house has been a rallying ground for
the leaders OF her party and at the
Thursday evening supper parties which
she gave during the summer one used
to meet most of the deserving Demo-

for organization and she might easily
become an excellent business executive.

become associated, II rather specializes
