HATS

6SNTHAT are the spring hats
lie" is what every
woman is asking these days I'm
Paris. Small and snug seems to
be the most popular answer.
The hat Is growing more and
more like a close-fItting helmet.
A few have wide brims and the
helmet effect appears only in the
shape OF the crown. But in most
cases the new hats are cloche-like
or with just q faint suggestion OF
a brim. For early spring days
the smart mOdistes are showing
q high felt "trotteur' with a
quantity bent narrow brim which
is bound to remain successful be-
cause It adopts itself so well to
sunshine or rainy days. Caroline
Reboux, who starts many inter-
esting novelties, started the ball
rolling for this one and OF course
the high crown and little brfnn
that ripples In front Is as popular
as anything she has ever sent out
Of her rue de Ia Paix shop.

quently draped to the form Of the
face. with the exception Of course
Of the big portrait hat which she
creates to be worn with fluffy
summer gowns such as one In
black georgette continuing as q
streamer scarf. A notable thing
Is the back wide brim on the
large hats OF this season.
Exotic" straws are much to be
seen, such as bengale and perIe
straw with an attractive crochet
straw which promises to be very
popular. 'Grosgrain and faille RIB
bon are often used in combination
with straw or straw is combined
with felt. A small straw edge fin

basket-woyen grosgrain ribbon in
several tones OF browns with q
tiny little brim turned up slightly
at one side and down at the
other, where Is placed q rose made

the crown.
All coIors are going to be worn.
especially the wfne-reds and etrus-
can pinks which fade into old

company 1t with crisp toast or
hot crusty rolls and top 1t off
with a tasty dessert, and there
is as fine a luncheon as any one
could hope for-especially during
Lent.
Just a word about fish salads
always or nearly always mari
nate them in sharp dressing,
plenty of lemon juice lurking
around in the vicinity of fish IS
always a good idea. and then
give them cucumbers or celery
or something equally succulent
and refreshing to keep them
company.
You can even serve oysters in
salads, you know.
Take a quart Of oysters, a
tablespoonful of oil, u teaspoon Of
. salt, Is teaspoon pepper, table
spoons of vinegar and ] table.
spoon of lemon Juice. Clean the
oysters and place them in a
stewpan on the fire, adding no
water. When they are boiling
turn them into a colander to
drain.
When well drained, place them
in an earthenware dish and add
the oil, salt, pepper, vinegar and
lemon juice. Cool and place in
the ice box for at least two hours.
Cut the white part OF the celery
into very thin slices, until you
have about a pint. Place it in a
bowl in the ice box, adding ii
piece of ice to the celery to keep
1t crisp.
When ready to serve, drain the
celery, mix with the oysters.
Turn the whole into salad bowl
and cover with mayonnaise. Gar.
nish with white celery leaves and
serve at once:
Lettuce leaves may be arranged
ON q large platter in groups or
two or three to form cups and in
each cup may be dropped four or
five oysters with one spoonful OF
mayonnaise poured over them.
Garnish with a tiny spray Of
parsley thrust into the sauce at
the center of each cup.
When you want to make an
impression with shad roe but can't
quite afford a roe for each per-
son to be served, make a salad.
Not even the most curious minded
will be able to figure out how
many pairs of roe you bought
for you can buy almost as few or
as many as you please.
Parboil the roe in the usual
way, drain and chill them thor
oughly. Cut into slices, sprinkle
with salt and pepper and marinate
In lemon juice for several hours.
Mix with a generous amount OF
fresh, crisp watercress and diced
cucumbers and serve on lettuce
with mayonnaise dressing.
Any boiled fish-haddock, sal

Musk Oxen Muskless

The musk OK of North America is a
true connecting link between wild cat
tie and sheep. 1t has horns like the
wild Cape buffalo of Africa, cattle-like
hoofs, and it's flesh looks and tastes
like beef
1t has next its body dense coat of
soft, clean woolly hair, and through
this grows rain coat of very long,
straight brown hair like that of the
Tibetan yak. 1t has tail so short and
small that the animal seems tailless.
The horns meet in broad base over
the top of the skull, drop far down
then sharply curve upward for several
inches, terminating in sharp points.
They are specially designed for pune
turing the vitals of wolves and polar
bears.

Lost" Arizona Mines

OF all the legends of buried treasure
the most persistent is the one about
lost gold mines of Arizona Only the
Indians are supposed to possess the
secret of this battling mystery. al
though the story has been circulated
for more than century.
That there once were mines in the
region is indicated by references found
In early Spanish diaries and by the
tales passed down through several gen.
erations of natives who were com
PEELED to dig the ore as slaves of their
conquerors. The chief evidence in sup
port of the tradition is the altar Of
the San Xavier mission, not far from
Tucson. 1t is described as being Gin
laid with virgin gold" Mission rec
0rds show that the precious metal was
brought from Canada del Orc where it
was mined by Indians under the di-
rectiOn of Spanish priests.
But no trace now exists of the dig
gings and the old trail over which the
gold is said to have been carried by
pack mules disappears abruptly in the
sands.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.
