School Savings Increase.

Pupils i'm the public and private
schools are depOsiting their savings
through school banks with more en-
thusiasm and in larger amounts
than ever before, according to in.
formation reaching the savings bank
division OF the American Bankers
Association.
I'm view of the trend of the
times it is very evident that in
cities or schools where the pupils
are not becoming regular savers. or
where total deposits do not steadily
increase, there is a distinct lack OF
appreciation of the essential import

hood thrift" declared Leo Day
Woodwork, deputy manager of the
association. 1T Is important that
the school savings system shall be-
come thoroughly established in the

Garden HAT.
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

"HIs is the season for garden
parties and lovely clothes
- to wear to them. But the
most important, perhaps, Is the
large. droopy garden hat. II one
has a dainty white frock of georg-
cite flowered crepe and tops II with
a pretty hat. the result IL quite
ravishing.
What could be more exquisite
than a large hat Of flesh candy
ed sweet peas and q bit Of orchid
short ends at the side?
Or, perhaps, II 10 a lovely let
tuce-green hat that might attract
your fancy, with Ilacs nesting
around the crown. Maise straw,
with COW slips, makes an attrac-
live combination. or one might like
a black hat with buttercups for
its trimming.
The leghorn hats in natural color
are still in vogue, with a lovely
rose or two and the picturesque
black velvet ribbon streamers, and
this season one finds these more
than ever airing their loveliness
on green lawns under the soft Ian
tern light.
Not only are the straw hats worn
at garden festivities, but delight
fully dainty ones In georgette, lace
and chiffon are shown. For in
stance, one designer recently made
a beautiful hat Of flesh georgette
over an invisibdle wire frame. The
brim was double faced, and in be-
tween French blue flowers were
flattened. A large fiat bow Of
French blue faille silk was used at
a rakish angle across the crown.
It was really quite effective, yet
charmingly simple.
Another alluring model that
comes from our beloved France is q
basket shaped model Of fine ecru
lace. The hat was a transparent
affair, that showed the coiffure
through the dose fitting crown and
the brim dropped with coquettish
charm, revealing yet concealing the
eyes.
organdy hats to match ones
costume are truly quaint and one
finds them present at many FASH
ionable garden fetes this summer.
Almost always the large frame is
chosen. and the color depends or
course On the costume. However,
the delicate pastel shades are the
favorites, and often nothing more
than a big bow Of the material
picoted is used. Peach, orchid, let
tuce green, flame, tangerine, maize,
apricot, and ciel are among the
dainty summer shades.
