HELP
In tho displays of iuv millinery that
nro of paramount Interest just now
women complain that the groat variety
in style and design in new hats Is be
wildering. There are so many shapes
to chooso from! Shall tho lint be
made of velvet or hatter's plush or
felt or velour or fur or selected from
among the Innumerable combinations
of theoo and other fabrics? What Is
tho wisest choice In a season not domi
nated by a few styles?
Such a season leaves the individual
to her own resources In making a
choice. But It affords her a chance to
exercise fine judgment In suiting her
millinery to her own particular type.
There are few freakish styles. In spito
of this wonderful variety in hats, and
thoro Is a hat for every face.
One cannot go wrong in choosing
velvet or any of tho materials men
tioned. Colors are dark and rich, and
trimmings correspond. Metallic laces
and braids, elaborate beadwork, silk
and velvet flowers (and those covered
withtlnsol), ribbons of high luster, and
rich ostrich plumes, are set off by the
hats of beautiful and sedate colorB
that form tho best of backgrounds for
them. Fur and the most elaborate and
carefully made fancy feathers, or the
peculiar now cut steol ornaments pro
vide many novelties in tho way of
Two Play Frocks
Summer or winter, the plaj and
school frocks of tho very small girl
uro made of materials that can bo
washed. Durable linen in tho natural
or In gay colors, wash flannel, pique,
gingham, chambray, kindergarten
cloth, all present themselves to tho
hand of tho seamstress, in plain plaid
and striped designs. Very littlo trim
ming is used and littlo girls' frocks
must depend for their stylo on color,
cut and combinations of plaid or
striped with plain material.
But if good tasto prohibits much
trimming on tho clothes of the little
miss It encourages a bit of pretty
needlework and oddities in cut. So
long as tho designer does not depart
from simplicity or unbroken lines sho
may indulgo her fancy for unusual
shaped yokes, sleeves and yoke in ono.
and quaint affects In finishing touches.
Tho two littlo frocks pictured hero
nro of tho ovoryday sort that mothers
nro making up-iti heavy linens and
other wash fabrics. In thorn tho little
girl may romp along with her broth
ers; they aro designed for mtuth wear.
At tho left a plain dress is shown
trimmings, unlike any that have gone
before.
Threo of tho now patterns aro
shown in the group pictured hero. Tho
small hat at the top has a coronet of
velvet which Is wldo at tho back but
narrowed to a small upturned brim at
the front. A brilliant corded silk cov
ers tho crown and the inside of the
coronet, forming a binding about tho
edge of tho hat. Two smart, upstand
ing plumes at tho back, tukon with
the shape of the hat, suggest a mili
tary mode.
At the left a wlde-brlinmed hat with
soft crown is made of velvet. Tho
brim Is curved in gentle and grace
ful lines. A metallic braid and a large
llower, which looks like the airiest of
nTlgrce, make up the simple and very
effective trimming.
At the right a felt hat faced with
velvet shows another of the plctur
esque wide-brimmed 'models. In this
hat the crown is higher. Wide moire
ribbon and silver lace adorn the un
usual shape, in which tho brim Is
deeply slashed at each side.
Boll the Meat.
When making croquettes of left-over
moat it is much hotter to boll the meal
until it is very tender.
in Tub Materials
made of dark hi no linen with collur,
cuffs and belt of tan linen. It has a
short opening at the front with eye
lets worked In tan floss In a close,
oven buttonhole stitch on each side.
It slips on over the head and fastens
by means of narrow ribbon in black or
dark blue laced through the eyelets.
A bit of needlework appears on the
cuffs and collar in a small embroidered
disk of the same size as tho eyelets.
A dress of striped pique or otlior
striped material Ib pictured at the
right. It is mndo with a set-on belt,
and two plaits appear at each side, in
tho skirt portion, below the bolt. The
collar tin J cuffs In whlto aro edged
with a plain buttonholo-stitchod scal
lop, ami this simple edging finishes
tho plait which covers tho front open
ing. A double row of round buttons is set
down tho front, and two larger buttons'
of the tmino kind fasten through but
tonholes in tho ends of tho belt, which
Is stitched to tho dross only along tho
upper edgo nt tho sides and back.
This makes It convenient to launder
tho dress. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

HELPFUL HINTS.
To tell a cooked egg from a fresh
one, should they get mixed on tho
shelf, twirl tho egg
on a smooth sur
face. Tho cooked
egg will spin, the
raw will not.
A roll of Burgeon's
plaster will bo
found most useful
for many things
other than Its authorized purpose.
When making frosting use Instead
of fresh water that which has been
colored by cooked beets, Mix this
with powdered sugar and you have a
wholesome pink frosting.
When cooking milk, to keep it from
burning, put a few spoonfuls of water
in tho dish and when boiling add tho
milk.
Apples aro one of the most whole
some of fruits and should bo given
freely to children, especially In tho
winter. Cranberries are said to stimu
late the Hver.
For the overtired" housewife a most
restful attitude is to llo on the back
with, the feet elevated on a couple of
pillows or cuhions. Ten minutes In
this positiou will effect a wonderful
rest.
A splendid Idea to keep stockings
mated, especially in a largov family, is
to place good-sized patent fasteners on
the top horn of tho stockings, then
when tho hone are taken off they are
snapped together, may bo ho wnBhed,
and will return still united.
Never throw away old quilts, us they
make tho best kind of padding for a
stair carpot.
When sweater sleeves become thin
at tho elbow, cut them out of the
arm hole and exchange them, putting
tho left sleeve Into the right arm
hole. This change brings the worn
part on the front of the sleeve.

Hero nro some of tho many things1
which will bo useful, ulthough each
housowifo will find additions and
changes to make, sultnblo to her
needs. '
First, hnvo a few catiB of good
soup. TIiIb, with some crisp crackers,
makes a line beginning to any hur
ried meal and may bo prepared almost
as quickly as It takos to write- It One
may add milk or cream to extend the
amount of these soups and UBitally It
Improves them.
On this shelf have a few cans of
fish, such as tunny or tuna, salmon
and crab or lobstor; theso muy be
used in various ways as salads, hot
dishes or chowders If so desired. Cut
lets, using a can of salmon, adding
whlto sauce, rolling in crumbs and
frying In deop fat, will go further
than a can of Balmon served plain.
A box of codfish, jars of pickles,
canned corn beef and dried beef, ol
ives, canned fruit, nuts and dates aro
other helpful furnishings to tho shelf.
Even lemon plo filling comes canned
now to use In nn emergency. Those
foods nro expensive for everydny use,
but to have somo of these things on
tho shelf even if used but onco a year,
will prove worth the Investment.
A few quickly prepared menus
should be nt hand, so thnt in the hurry
one need only glanco at them to
choose a good meal.
There Is a shady side of life,
And a sunny sldo as well,
And 'tis for every ono to sny
On which he'd choose to dwell;
For every ono unto himself
Commits a crlovous sin,
Who bars tho blessed sunshine out,
And shuts tho shadows In.
MORE ABOUT EMERGENCY SHELF.
There nro many quickly prepared
cheeso dishes, so there should always
bo a jar of grated
cheese. A piece of
cheese keeps well, tight
ly covered, If it is
s p r t n kl o d generously
with salt. Cans of
spaghetti and tomnto,
deviled chicken, cans
veal and ham, which can
bo heated, aro Items for
tho emergency shelf. Naturally Home of
these things will spoil If kept ton
long, so thoy tuny bo used and re
placed from tlmo to time. Tho cost
of replacing articles will upt bo great.
It is well to remember when buying
any kind of canned goods to see that
tho ends of tho cans are flat. If thoy
bulge, reject thorn for this denotes
tho presence of gas and they aro not
fit for food. Novor leavo any food In
a tin can; empty it at onco when
opened.
Pie crust may bo prepared all but
the water; put in a glass Jar and is
ready to use on the instant.
Even bread, tho Boston brown va
riety, is found in cans and may be a
most welcome addition to the shelf.
"When ono is seven miles from a
lemon," tho emergency shelf Is an ab
solute life saver.
Boiled dressings tuny be made
which will keep for weeks In tho col
lar or ico chest. In fact many house
keepers nlways keep a bowl of salad
dressing on hand, or one muy make a
salad out of almost anything.
Salted wafers, small cakes, fruit
cookies and fruit cake, will keep for
weeks It kept from the air, and so
one may feel at ease, even though

Hot Potatoes.
When removing hot potatoes from
tho oven pull ovor your hands littlo
bags that sugnr comes in. Anybody
Is apt to burn hands or arms In turn
ing potatoes or taking them from tho
oven, and theso littlo bags aro con
venient to have for protectors.

"I don't know what you are driving
