Little QuilIs to Trim Small Hats
ny ANNE RrTTENHoUsE.

Ono of the most original of evening
headdresses offered by French 4millin-
ers this season was a little arrange
nent of s!lyered quills from Antoine
of Paris. Two curving quilts crossed
in front over the forehead. another at
the back, with a fourth rising at

opposite side The actual quill ends
were left projecting. further adding
to the originality of the arrange
ment.
Now quills are quito inexpensive;
even silvered quills cannot cost as
much as osprey, ostrich-plumnlage
usually used for evening headdresses.
But this little quilted device had
charm that was quite irresistible.
There Is always something very
youthful about the quill, and perhaps
that is why 1t has so strong an ap-
peal. 1t seems fresh and compact,
and we look with favor on X in the
spI ing. preferring it to the more
stately ostrich. For months there
have been hats trimmed compactly
with little stubby quills and quite
recently many smart women have
adopted the fashion. There was a
dozen or SO ways TO arrange these
quills. and the clever woman will get
her milliner to leave the adjustment
of them until she is trying on the

head should really determine this.

Filling the Hope Chest.

From hope chest to honeymoon is
not O far cry nowadays.
In the old days, our mothers spent
their gfrlhcods sewing-in prepara-
tion for the time when their hopes
should ma&erialiye. But the modern
girl doesn't hnd time to think of the
hope chest until the honeymoon is
just round the corner. 1t would
scarcely pay her to do so, in this day
OF changing styles.
The era of swift changing fashions
is also a factor in determining with
what the modern bride-to-be will fill
her hope chest. It means, for one
thing, that she will not stock her
chest with linen to do for a. life
time, but Will buy q moderate sup

prospect of using an out-of-d date

HEALTH HINTS

Tho detail sketch at the lower left

It is true that as a general propo-
sition moderation in exertion should
be the keynote of physical training
after middle age. The term "rndddle
age" is a very elastic one. You
may regard forty to forty-five as rep
resenting middle age and you may
feel yourself growing old from fifty
years on. or you may regard the mid
die period OF life as being from fifty
to sixty-five years.
There is no doubt that the period
of middle-aged Vigor, energy and
an-around ability in some cases ex-
tends far beyond the biblical age
But whatever your Interpretation of
the meaning of middle age" 1t is
best, il you are Enthusiastically past
your youth, to observe moderation in
the quality OF your exercise and to
make up for it, if necessary, In guam
tity.
The ideal exercises for extreme age
are those which make for fexibility.
An elastic condition of all the tissues
and OF the joints of the body Is i'm
portant, just as fexibility is of pri-
mary Importance in the back bone
This is not merely because of the
value Of being able to bend the Joints
TO the limit. but because of what 1t
means in relation to the circulation
and the health of the tissues gen.
orally.
To keep these tissues as much alive
as possible, one must keep them sup
pie and elastic. All kinds Of stretch
ing and bending exercises calculated
TO promote this necessary fexibility
are most important for those who
would avoid growing old. You should
maintain mobility, or the possibility
of free motion with every joint and
every movable part OF your anatomy
Quite the best way to do this is to
stretch every part thoroughly at least
once each day and bend part to the
limit. Such stretching and bending
movements should be applied. If pos
sible, even to the fingers and toes.
Start with the finger tips. First
stretch the arms far out to the sides
and stretch the fingers out. Then
proceed to bend or double up the
fingers flstlike in such a way as to
put the greatest possible stress upon
the joints, bending each joint of the
finger to the fullest extent possible.

whitenose the Fox Squirrel and
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
were careless Yes, sir, they were
careless. They were so busy getting
acquainted and so interested In learn
ing about each other that all three
forgot to watch out for danger. Yes,
sir, they forgot, and that is the most
careless thing that any one can do.
Danny and Nanny were on the
ground. while Whitenose sat on top
OF the stump under which Danny and
Nanny had their home Whitenose
was even more curious about Danny
and Nanny than they were about him.
You know, 1t was a wonderful story
that Danny and Nanny had to tell
had brought them down to the Sunny
South. Whitenose had seen that
great man bird with it's broken wing,
as It stood on Its head not far from
where they were. and had wondered
about It
Just why whitenose turned his
head and looked behind him when he
did he probably doesn't know him
self. But he did turn his head.
Rum he screamed. And made a
flying jump from the top of the
stump toward the nearest tree.
1t was all SO sudden and unex-
pected that for a minute Danny and
Nanny didn't move. They saw White
nose jump to the trunk of tree and
go UP it so fast that in q second he
had disappeared In the long, gray
moss that hung from the branches of
that tree. Before they could blink
their little eyes there was a rush of
feet from the back Of that stump,
and they had just a glimpse of a big
form bounding straight for that tree.
Up the tree 1t went, quite as quickly
as Whitenose had gone, and also dis
appeared in the long, gray moss.
They heard the scratching of sharp
claws on the bark high up in that
tree. and then they had just glimpse
of WhttenoSe making a flying leap
from the end Of long branch across
to the branch OF another tree.
With their little eyes almost pop
ping out of their heads, they watched
to see IL Whitenose would be fol-
lowed He wasn't Then they heard
from up In that tree such an ugly,
splitting snarl of rage and disappoint-
ment that 1t made the hair all over
them stand right on end. They
waited to see no more They sour
ried into their home under the old
stump as fast as their short legs
could take them
"Who do you suppose that terrible
fellow was?' whispered Nanny.
81 haven't the least Idea" Danny
whispered back. But the noise he
made up In that tree sounded very
much like the sound I have heard

Of course, be strong black tea, but

Some people can get to sleep
