TIIKRK U nerer a time when a hat.
moderately broad of brim and with
crown which U so consi-rTatlvn as to
fscapo attention Is out of style A
hapfl of this kind with a con-ring of
relTct and a facing of crop or satin
trimmed wllh plumes Is abiut the
most reliable of all millinery It has
no tccotitrlcllles that catch the atten
tlon but Its f-racn and elenancn anil
general becomlngm-sH mnko It always
pleasing.
The bat shown In tho lllustrotlon Is
a superb piece of millinery made of
mUet ocr a frame whose brim droops
In tho Kcnllest of curving lines just n
little at the hack and front. Tho fac-
ing; of crepe Reowltn Is a creamy
wbc llesldes thij beauty of rich ma-
terial Ink of exriulslti) workmanship
adds Its charm to the fine color-contrast
or black and white and tint pleas-
Inc lines of tlia shapn. Very hand-
some ostrich feather are used for
tho trimming. Huch a composition re-
huIU In a hat dignified and heautlrul
which will harmonlzf) with any color
In tho coHlutni). Its wearer may face
any formal occasion uiidlsmavd and
very sccurn In tho knowledge that her
millinery Ib qullu erual to llin strict
est requirements of tho current mode
Another hat which Is In the same
class wlili that pictured has a brim
of equal width all around a crown of
medl.'m slzo with soft top and a fac-
ing of tho softest shadu of coral pink
It depends for decoration upon an os-
trich pompon from which springs a
spray of long graceful bird of para-
dise feathers all In shades and tints
of tho color In tho facing Tho brim
droops a llttlo on nil sides and tho
pink of tho lining is partially oiled
by n border of black lacu which man-
ages to stray over the edgu of the
brim whero It seems to bo In easy
and Irregular festoons
To sotno complexions this facing of
pink Is much more becoming than a
facing of white One should experi-
ment with color before using It. Hut
If a doubt disturbs tho mind in se-
lecting n dress hat as to Urn best of
slinpiH It may bu sot at nst by choos-
ing either of tlioso described here or
c hers similar to them They belong
to tho ancient and honorable order of
"picture hats" and gfat artists have
delighted to paint them oven before

nnil mere nave iieen nomu among our
well dressed women on this sldu of tho
Atlantic who hnio succumbed to Its
charm and even gone thu length of
having blnck silk sheets and pillow
ensea to match their black silken
night dresses livery now and then
thin penchant for black crops In and
at present it Is nssertlng Itself. It Is

PosrcshIoii to wear under transparent
black blouses or even white ones.
Shortage of Dye Materials Certain to
Put the Colored Ones In the
Background.
The shortage of de materials will
make the colored glove take a step
down from favor There will be a de-
mand for black and for white gloves.
Thero will be a general advance In
tho prices of gloves for tbe spring and
tho wise woman will Invest in a supply
that will carry her through to the corn-
Ins season The shipments from Aus-
tria or Ilelgium will be negligible
Tber will probably be about the same
amount from England and obviously
tho German output will be curtailed.
There may be an Increase of Italian
gloves and pw.lbly French makers
will bo able to fill orders In France
thero Is only about GO per cent of the
factory output now- at hand. Tho
smaller makers are virtually closed.
Aa for fabiic gloves thero Is an un-
certainty that It were well for jou to
consider The best fabric gloves are
mado from cotton that comes from
Egypt This supply is virtually un- i
obtalnnbU) during tho war These cot-1
tons nro used for the jams that aro
spun In Germany and of course tho
German question is unsettled Tho
other country from which Germany
has in tho past obtained materials
from which to spin jams Is England.
That possibility is a closed point.
As for tho silk glovo question the do-1
mestlc output will perhaps come to tho
rescue of womankind If gloves must
be worn tho homemade article will
probably havo to be the approved one.
This should stimulate things and give I
a Vitrloty to waiting hands And It .
may bo that gloveless tt)les will bo
u'lapted; who knows? !
Her Travels.
Two little Los Angeles girls were
talking about the big cities of the
United States. Kosle who had trav-
eled a great deal and had been In
many of these places was telling
Goldle about them it the Iatter's re-
quest "I want to go to Mexico very much"
concluded Ilosle. "I havo never been
out of the United States."
"Haven't you?" asked Goldlo in
tones of superior pity "Why 1 have.
I have been in San Francisco and Nebraska."
Rub It In Thoroughly.
A sprain or strain should havo Im-
mediate attention to check the swell-
ing. Rub on and rub in thoroughly

should have quick relief. Always have
a bottle on hand for accidents. Adv.
Very Much So.

"He was demonstrating a new dance
at her house and b 3ke a costly vae."
"I don't see how she figured that

"Neither do I but there Is a great
deal In the philosophy of women that
ran't be figured out"

ashamed to lay aside his dignity for
tbe purpose of doing his duty as ha
sees It.

Cheap Stuff Will Never Give Satisfac-
tion and Is Really More Expen-
sive In the End.
Do not mako the mlstako of exor-
cising false economy on jour suits
for fnlBo such economy trlalnly Is.
Cheap milts never pay especially for
huslncsi girls. You give our suit
tho hardest kind of wear and If you
buy cheap trashy materials they soon
look shiny nnd shabby.
You should prefer having through
tho )car two or threo serviceable
suits with plain smart lines of thu
best most durable goods to five or
six flimsy tawdry frocks at $10 to 12
each whoso cheap Imitation of Btyla
Is lost during tho first week's wear
"Hut" perhaps )ou nro asking "how
can I nfYord tho best materials on
tvvelvo or fourteen dollars a week?"
You can If ou start saving early
enough and that Is why this llttlo talk
Is coming to )ou so soon bo that you
may havo tho opportunity to put by
enough of )our Balary to buy vou a
really good suit not a poor Imitation.
Don't procrastinate with jour Baring.
