a bright color, soft color, warm
shade. or q cool one. Most stores and
shops have special departments for
women with mourning hats to buy.
Why waste time in being shown a
dozen silk hats when it is a straw hat
which you wish TO buy? Choose your
material and include in it your de-
scription. II you have several alter
mates in mind state them. Often your
description viii suggest to the sales
woman's mind just the hat which will
suit your requirements. Helping her,
helps yourself.
Telling in advance what sort of
costume or costumes your hat will be
worn with helps to give whoever is
waiting on you a definite idea of your
want. If by chance you are shown
something which you do not care for,
explain why, and the mistake won't be
repeated.
There are many details TO hat, and
one or two may be easily overlooked.
Do you want q small or large hat. fiat
or rolled brim, one light or medium ir
weight? Perhaps a special type or
model is desired. For the purposc
you have in mind it may be essential
to select hat that will render par
ticular kind of service. or be especially
comfortable.
By stating definitely just the sort of
hat you want. and just what amount
you are willing to pay, many a tedious
and trying hour may be avoided. 1t
is possible to discover in five minutes
that shop has or has not what one
desires, and it is possible to learn the
same facts in several hours. Which
way is most satisfactory can be de-
termined by the individual shopper.

BEAUTY CHATS
A Red Nose.

II you are beginning to suffer from
continual red nose, having been with
out this trouble before, remember that
we are nearing the end of the Winter;
that we have had months OF eating
heavy, starchy, heating and fattening
foods; that with the warm days it is
time to change the diet so as to thin
and cool the blood. and that a red nose
is the sign that it's more than time TO
begin.
The reason the nose gets red is that
the circulation Of the blood is more
sluggish here than anywhere else in
the body. probably because the blood
vessels which supply the nose are very
fine and thin. and thick blood or inn
pure blood is apt to congest here, max
ing swollen, hot and very ugly red
nose.
So thin the blood by dieting-that's
the first step. Cut out heavy foods
and starches. Substitute green vege-
tables, even If they come from cans;
salads and fruit as much as possible
for puddings and cakes. and drink half
a dozen glasses Of water a day Then
treat the nose by these methods:
Two or three times a day tap the
nose vigorously all over with your
finger tips, Use the first two fingers
of each hand and tap and tap all over
the sides. the nostrils and the fore
head just above the nose. This IS the
most stimulating thing you can do.
1t will break up the congestion Of
blood and start circulating normally
again, and the redness will so.
Also do this: Make the following
mixture: Powdered starch. three
ounces; powdered sulphur. one dram;
zinc oxide ointment, one and half
ounces. In case you don't like the

HOW IT STARTED

To Be Made the Goat

AZ ~ AANAAN NAAN CVCANf
We hear every now and then that
so-and SO was made the goat" while
the really guilty persons escaped scot
free.
Strange TO say. this use Of the word
goat is not slang, il is not even u
colloquialism; the expression goes
back thousa nds of years to the time
of the ancient Hebrews.
In those days there We're sacrifices
for all known offenses: usually some
animal would be killed and offered
upon the altar as atonement for a
transgression..
But there was a group of offenses
whose perpetrators could not be found,
sins of the people for whom no one in
particular could be held responsible,
unknown and unrecOrded sins which
were considered q part of the debt
the community owed the great Law
giver, and for which some compensa-
tion or penance must be made.
So IL goat was selected to bear upon
his shoulders all the unnumbered and
anonymous sins of the community,
and he was driven from the altar in
the temple out into the wilderness.
And ever since the innocent party
upon whom guilty persons have fast
ended blame has been known and spO-
ken Of as the goat"

one reason that I Like the Latin

favorite flowers is called bugbane, or,
liz you don't like that, black cohosh.
Hence, ! am glad to find refuge in
the more dignifled and euphonious
title Of Dentaria laciniata instead of
pepper-root and toothWort.
Dentaria, then, if you viii bear
with me for using its pedantic name.
is Il lovely little plant, with deeply
cut and fringed leaves. and rather
large white or pinkish or purplish
flowers. 1T belongs to the crucifer
family, and If that conveys no
definite impression, call 1t the mus
tard family. Once one gets 10 know
the families OF plants by their look"
one is far on the road 10 becoming a
botanist. And no family is easier to
learn than the crucifers, whose four
petals. broad at the outer end and
narrow at the base. look like a mall
tese cross.
Dentaria is a typical crucifer. and
has all the innocent charm Of that
great family. which includes such be-
loved Old fashioned garden plants
as cuckoo flowers, wallfiowers, stocks,
water -cress, rocll-cress and sea rocket.
And like most OF the family, dentaria
is good If pungent, eating. All the
crucifers have reputation as
greens" and proofs against scurvy.
There is one--its name escapes me
that grows on a lonely island near
the Antarctic, that has saved whole
crews OF vessels. The roots of
dentaria are worth trying once, if
you can bear to dig up such dainty
flower, just to taste that faint, spicy
