half the rent we paid In Bolton

the curtains and things, but

ATTRACTIVE
HATS

- poke bonnets, swagger lit
tie sport hats with a dash all
their own, run rival to the smart
tailored hats one sees in town
these days. Then there are
clever little hats you can make
at home to match your in
dividual costumes.
To accompany a white sports
frock, what's more attractive
than a hat Of white crepe silk,
frightened with great punches
of red cherries? You can buy a
buckram frame and some crepe
silk, and it is simple matter to
cover the frame. Many estab-
lishments give instructions when
purchasing the material.
With a jacquette blouse OF
figured yellow crepe, a hat OF
plain yellow crepe would go well,
perhaps a small close fitting
wrap-around turban Of crepe.
with a great Oriental ornament
thrust through the front.
If you have a white lacy frock,
or a fine French wolfe in pastel
shade, you will want a big droop-
ing garden hat. A hat Of orchid
straw, could be lined with or
child pink taffeta. and trimmed
with a wreath of pink sweet
peas.
There is much cache to hat
with tailored little wings at
either side. Such a hat in navy
blue faille silk would be smart
for town wear, with a frock Of
navy crepe silk.
Fresh trimmings would do won
ders with an old hat, and there
are some excellent hat dyes that

Of natural colored straw, in

with fresh cow-slips around the
crown.

of years, to be uncomfortable? But
somehow you got past it, you
made the grade" you came out
all right with the uncomfortable
safely behind you, endured and
perhaps even conquered.
LAS thy day is so thy strength
is" says the Book of Books. The
spirit performs miracles when
miracles are needed. The woman
who has not walked a step for
twenty years may rise and run
from a burning building. Doctors
and nurses march through cpl
denies unscathed, though they
cannot take ordinary precautions
for self protection. And none OF
this is miraculous at all.
The miracle is that with so
much evidence to the contrary
we should still take misery and
misfortune for granted instead OF
believing in ouH good fortune.
A friend Of mine was the victim
Of a cruel and lying report which
slandered her hideously. When
she found what had been said Of
her and how many there were
ready to believe and even to in
crease the report, she grew des-
perate. She wanted to run away
to disappear-to go to some
place where she was not known
and start anew. There was no
way of fighting-no way Of deny
ing.
One friend suggested that a lie
is always defeated by truth. "A
lie is just a perversion Of truth
and it cannot prevail" she urged.
IF you run away you will give
color to the lie. If you stay, I'm
sure the lie will collapse because
1t hasn't real foundation"
The maligned and miserable
woman decided to trust the advice
of the one friend who seemed
willing to stand by her. She
tried to go about with her head
high and her conduct so simple
and sincere that she could not add
to the i'll report which buzzed
about her. But after a day or
two she went to her friend and
cried out in anguish:
II can't do 1t. 1t Is all too
cruel. can't bear 1t. I've got
