says there's nothing like teaching
children to appreciate good books,
and interest in them increases ire
mendously with ownership. Grace
gets few good books for her from
time to time, and she becomes
thoroughly familiar with them, read
ing them many times, as children
will their favoriteS. She now has
'Favorite Fairy Tales" "a Little
Princess" king Arthur" "Robin
Hood" Treasure Island"--those
tales beloved OF children, and how
she does enjoy them. Grace secured

EXQUISITE Hats

Hats for formal wear-afternoon
dinner, dance-are interesting the
feminine mind as the social season
approaches. And, Susie, I've found
the most beautiful array of new
models-big hats, many with wide
dropping brims, simply trimmed with
a feather flower, bowknot, Rhine
stone ornament. Then adorable little
dance hats for the debutante, fash
toned of lace, satin and-leader Of
them all-metallic fabrics-old gold
