Color of Hat Follows
Color of Dress, Coat

The color of the hat follows the
color of the dress or wrap with which
it is to be worn. If it does not match
the dress should at least match the ac-
cessories, says a fashion writer In the
Washington Star. Black hat or hats
of natural-toned straw are best for
general wear, since they look well with
almost any ensemble. There are wide
brimmed straw hats of black for beach
and country wear that are smart and
unusual.
Straw or light felt hats or capucine
or nasturtium shades are sometimes
chosen to wear with dresses of those
tones. Buttercup yellow is smart for
wear with dresses in which the yellow
note occurs. Some of the new fine
straw yellow hats are trimmed with
a soft brown.
Chartreuse hats have met with con.
siderable approval among well-dressed
women for wear with printed silks in
which the chartreuse tone occurs. Lip
stick red has been spoken of and so
have Monet and Persian blue.
Especially attractive are some of the
wider-brimmed shapes of fine straw in
soft brown tones. Small pink-and
white apple blossoms trim one of the
most attractive of these.
Manufactured lace is used to trim
some of these fine brown straws and
is also used on black straw or erin
A trimming arrangement ascribed to
Reboux is that of placing gardenias at
the back of the hat. A small shape
of fine black straw has flat feather
trimming of chartreuse.
Rough straws of the sort that were
worn at Palm Beach and other resorts
frequently have colored linen ribbon
bands and bows to match the linen
dresses with which they are worn
Sometimes a band of pinue is used in
this way when pique dress is to be
worn.
Bakou, bangkok, balibuntl sisol
perle visca, milan, tuscan are some of
the straws most highly spoken of this
season. Grin, which is light of weight
crisp and transparent, is often com
bined with crowns of more substantial
material. Leghorn in natural tone in
wide-brimmed, picturesque shapes has
come into favor in parts Of the coun
try where shade hats have been called
for.

Awake to Necessity of
Checking Soil Erosion

An enormous waste Is shortening
mans stay on the earth. 1t is soil
erosion. In Texas where soil wash
ing has gone on for Years with cot
ton cropping, farmers are now terrace
ing their rolling lands, with the en-
enlargement of far-sighted bankers
and landlords. The terraces are BAR
rers thrown up or ~ inches above
the field level, which follow the con-
tour line of the hilsides. Beyond
these barriers rain water accumuIates
and gradually sinks into the soil in
stead of washing great gullies into
the hillsides. Terracing not only
checks soil washing. it increases the
water-holding power of the soil and
produces larger crops. Within two
years 2,S0S,250 acres of Texas land
out of 3O,000,000 in cultivation. have

had spent some weeks in a woman's

has really been the most dramatic
change in women's night wear since
the early eighties, in all the list of
changing fashions. For there was
time back in the seventies when many
women wore bobhed hair-only they
called it "shingled" at that time
while many nationalities of women in
Europe have worn short skirts for
centuries.
