A fashionable woman purchased no fewer than fourteen specimens or it the other lay in a wliknown mii:in r establishment. The models t re gigantic and were variously trimmed, though plumage predominated over flowers In their adorn ment. ' Though the present fashion In its exaggerated form ha come to us from Pans." said an authority on hats, "London really taught Paris to appreciate the picture hat.' '"It figured largely in the t rosse a u of the yeung Queen of Spain, and set the mode among the French, who at first scoffed at the shadv brims and softly plumed crowns of the mushroom or cloche model, but afterward adopted it whole heartedly, with noticeable exaggerations in slse and trimming.'' "Far from rebelling against the size of the mammoth hats I am selling." declared another purveyor of fashion able headgear, "my customers will look at nothing small." The reason that the sum of $200 is by no means an uncommon price for a simrle hat is that an miirh vnentv materia and trimming are required. "The most exclusive women, those of the world of fashion, who are not led by the vagaries of any mode, are not ordering mammoth milliner," said one authority. I made numbers of hats for Ascot that are very beautiful.

but by no means exagerated. In 1 attractive upon slim ones. They seem point of fact, numbers of the best to supply the missing note to the emdressed women adhere to the same pire, the dlrectoire ami the princess style of hat season after season, with ; modes. The wider the cirdle the

If he cannot go into details he can. however, see whether Her shoes are run down at the heels or any of the buttons are gone. Her g!oes have holes in the tips and would be better for soap suds or gasoline. She looks "band-boxy'' or as If she had never heard of pressing She Is spotty or slottchy or neat and ' trim. Men may be impressionists as to colors and materials; thev are etchers when It comes to noticing little things that bospeak slovenliness

Do not forget, girls, that It is byl8lKn auch little things that you are Judged., rather than by what you pay for your!

clothes or how well you carry them. , Stretchlng Custalns. Now that fall housecloaning is ongrossing so much attention, it Is well to know that when stretching curtains, especially those beginning to show a little wear, a sheet should bo put on the floor and upon this tacked tho most worn curtain, using bank pins to tack each scallop. Then hook the other curtains on the same as on tho stretchers. This method takes much less time. The curtains will be straight and of uniform size, as four curtains can be put down at once and they will wear twice as long. Tack them down; do not pin them, because when pinning tho pins must bo removed for each curtain and pinned back. Bunk pins are sold by the pound In department stores. Thoy will not bond In tacking and can be used a number of times. Charm of Sincerity. Few attributes add so much to one's personal power as the knowledge that one is absolutely genuine and slncoro. If your lifo Is a perpetual He, If you know that you aro not what you protend to be, you cannot bo strong. There Is a contlnuoua struggle with the truth going on Insldp you which saps your onorgy nnd warps character. If there Is a mote In your eye. remove P at once. Otherw.se, you can

. , not look the world straight In the face. Further, there will be a cloudiness, a haze, about your character which will

The girl who does It herself need never lose beauty sloon wondorlni; If i be done As well put faith In the weather with Invitations out for a garden party as fool dead certain of others doing that promised task. I What you do yourself may not bo ' well done, but, at leant, you are off tho anxious bench. As well count on the unboned laco collar to cling back of tho oars as gat the dependent habit, i Knowing how to do things yourself and doint? them makes rou as indlfferent to the whims of others as a deadbeat to debts. : Two Items for the Dressmaker. When making a circular skirt finish all but the lower edge and hang up for a few days. After that length of time it can be safely turned up, as it will have stretched as much as It ordinarily will. In pressing all wool and mohair dress goods care should be taken to remove the pressing cloth while the material is damp, allowing it to steam dry. If pressed until per I iectly dry the material receives a sort "Jn(je" of polished glased finish and is made I Wearing Five Buttons. Girls have gone in for many Chinese fashions, such as the maudarin jacket, the kimono sleeve, the chrysanthemum embroidery, but the wearing of five buttons on the coat of jacket is a new idea, unknown to the many. The Chinese wear these five buttons to remind them of the five chief moral äää i 1 " , Wee Carriage Shads. Memories of long past days sur round the tiny parasols that are car ried in the automobile and horse carnage alike, edged with fringe that flutters in the breeze. Men who were young dandies in the fifties of last century will recollect them, and the airs and graces they enabled a pretty woman to reveal, for in truth they are as useful as a fan in the hands of a coquette. The Collar Up to Date. Quite the newest collar from Paris to wear with any kind of dress ls a l band of white satin, bordered at the I top and base with a double-pleated frill of pleated while tulle. This enj circles the neck and makes the moat i becoming framework for the face. giving a cachet and a charm of great distinction. Attractive Combs. New back combs are shown, the top decorated with cut Jet in many beautiful designs and shapes, while for mourning wear the Jet is of the dull vari?t'. cut to resemble crepe. Other comus are maae or blonde tortoise are made of blonde shell, finished with huge cut bows or thickly studded with semi-precious stones. Modish Girdles. Wide girdles are to be shunned by full waisted women, but thev are ver better. A Change Will Prove Helpful. Frequently change the mode of wearing the hair, else falling hair Is iii, - fn -a.,.tt ti., mi .., ..... scalp where tho hair Is colled and pinned receives no sunlight and the coiled hair no ventilation.

Simple Monograms, rhe letters which form tho new monograms for marking leather pieces are detached and very simple In deStripes and Cross Bars. The stripes and croaa bars which make such smart shirts are promised a still stronger vogue. FOL-DE-ROL. Russian crochet Is much sought aftor. Dull gold is n favorite hue for matron's hats. Tho threo-piece suit is becomtnir i more and more popular. Tho hair ribbon fnd has brought forth the ribbon comb. The better grades of lisle and silk hosiery are strlned. Small brown buckles look neat on the dark brown oxfords 1 Drowns and yellows of all tones are i much In vogue In millinery. i Tan shoes In two-button styles are j worn with drosses of ai color I Mohair Is developing Into some very ' smart coata for motoring wear. ; Rhinestone initials In place of bucklos are a new fad In footwoar.

In the past the princess gown was worn only for evening, and It surely suits costumes for such seasons better than daytime ones. The now Oxford tie made in black calfskin has a medium pointed toe, Cuban heel and is characterized by punched eyelets not worked. A bevy of bridesmaids at a smart wedding wore pale blue silk skirts veiled with chiffon and Louts coats of flowered silk with vol vet lapels and girdles. Smoking Competitions. Started In one or two small places a few years ago. "Smokers' Clubs" have proved most popular institutions In Germany are now to be found In nearly over? tillage. The members meet In the local taverns once a week, and drink much boor and smoke many pipes of tobacco. The most I moras ting featuro of these club, however. Is the annual festival, to which members of neighboring clubs are invited to take part in n smokers' competition, held under precise and elaborate rules and conditions. The contestants are divided into two parties of ten each and aro seated on a platform at the end of tho room. The president then weighs out with great exactitude five grammes about one-sixth of an ounce of to bacco for each man. who rants it into a new pipe. !

Fruit-Wrapping Machine. A fruit-wrapping machlno has been put in operation In California. It rw (lulroa practically no attention and entirely automatically wraps the fruit, says Country Gentleman. Tho fruit rolls down a slight incline to the operator, turning slowly over as It approaches him and giving him nn opportunity to remove defective specimens. Tho fruit Is lifted and placed stem up In rubber cups, which carry it to a mechanism operating much as the

Considerable tabular data are given by the New Jersey experiment station, shoeing the effect, as indicated by the composition, of breeding sweet corn uv lht' tar l "w method. Three plats wore selected from the first ear's planting and analyses made of a number of ears from each row These ears were allowed to ripen and were Planted in tue season of The result agaiu indicated the ten- j dencv of certain individual ears to i transmit a hiuih percentage of s.ui;ai and that this 'tndency preal; throughout th entlte row grown from ! such an eat.

Raising a colt is one. way to make the money grow. Alfalfa ha should be fed to horses gradually at first. When feeding bran ma shea do not have them too thin. After all. therm is no grain better than oats for ltoraes. Ormg the roads for the team's sake if for no other reason. Currying after a hard day's work will increase the horse's comfort. .
