Beige Hats in Spring Costuming
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

a brown, almost tete de negre, 10
tone that is said to match the wrap
ping of mummy are distinctly in
the lead for all daytime wear-espe, :
dark, warm color for a hat. The
beige hat goes well with the froch
of any of the wood tones. That Is.
it is possible to select a sano or oeise
that has just the right comcmation
of reds and greens and blues In its
makeup TO keep the peace Win the
whole range of browns.
And sometimes the beige or llght
brown hat may be made the venicie e
of a color combination that wouio
be rather out of the question on
frock of the same brown or beige
tone. One would hardly think of
using any shade of red on brown
or beige frock. Most attempts to DO
so have proved disastrous. Yet here
and there you find a really good re
suit from the beige hat red trimmed:
In the small poke shape she"n OF
pies-gilded. to be sure-form the
trimming. The material Of the hat is
hair braid run with fine gold threads.
The small poke seems not to have
run itself out of favor. 1t has been
long time reaching its present
widespread yogue-ft may be as long
a time retaining it.
We like these hats because they
combine smartness with Secdreness.
They are wind worthy, and that is
something to consider in country
where March winds are quite apt TO
blow through April and occasionally
to temper the balminess of days in
May. The extreme short back has
distinct advantage for the woman
who occasionally likes to rest her
head against the back Of her chair
or motor.
Perhaps you chanced to see in a
recent periodical the excerpts from
an early Victorian book on etiquette
recomme nding the poke bonnet Tor
ladies when attending divine service,
. inasmuCh as they conceal the
face. and by confning the view, pre-
vert that distraction OF mind which
is so unfavorable to the proper per-
formance of divine service
But this is an argument in favor
of the poke that has hardly occurred
to the fashionable woman Of A. ID.

which film Agnes pursues Mahlon
unto the triumphant end.
In fact. it was my privilege TO wit
ness the first meeting between Agnes
and Mahlon since Agnes arrived in
the east for the purpose OF making
this picture. and also for the purpose,
undersigned, of contracting influenza.
Agnes and Mr.. Hamilto shook hands
enthusiastically, as old friends. and
Agnes and Mr.. Hamilton shook hands
and Mahlon responded gallantly. Il
hope you do, Agnes" Then they both
said how glad they were to play to-

ture they thought il was going to
be- and all that sort OF thing. Just
as polite! Who says that film folk
haven't got their manners?
Then | told Mr.. Hamilton that /
was going to ask him about love.
And he smiled and said, "A delicate
subject-delicate but delightful" He
way some Of his more timid confreres
might have done. He didn't say in a
ponderous manner, "oh. my dear
young lady, I know nothing about
the subject-my work has been my
all" No. not Mahlon. I could see
that it was a topic on which he was
well versed, postmaster. and all that.

they can do other things just as
charming-phone calls at odd mo-
ments. for instance: invitations to
teas and dinner parties: house parties
and box parties. They take an inter
est in your work. they become good
listeners Sometimes, as in the pic
ture we are about to do. they get a
man interested to the high point of
surrender, and then they reverse tao
tics and turn the eminent cold
shoulder upon him. This is generally
successful. The poor man has become
so coddled and so used to the pink,
attentive ear, the tinkling of the
phone bell, the teas and dinners and
sympathy, that he can't comfortably
do without. them. He then turns pur-

tunity for the use OF the tongue in

the facility and the grace and the
taste we covet. With little or no

upon the streets. where are they to
get their practice?
Grammar lessons are given them
to help them talk and write. when we
all know that grammar never helped
anybody to talk a language or write

talk 1t and write it and think 1t.
After that. when speech is fluent and
natural. grammar may serve pur-

To be of any real service language
must express the actual thought in
the mind of the person using it. To
force set speech upon any one. par
ticularly a child. is to do nothing
toward enriching his speaking vocab-

conditions. Something must happen

The day is too crowded and the
class is too big for that. Then isn't
the thing to do plain? Lessen the
load of work and the number Of
pupils for each teacher and give these
children q chance to use their
tongues.
Besides all that. the high school
people are inclined to expect a bit
too much from the elementary-sci1oo
children. Eight years of schooling
in the use of a tongue does not mean
so very many hours after all. 1t
does not mount up to the years of
practice that are necessary for the
proper, the fluent. the easy use Of

makes 1T neat. precise. clear, lovely,
