Hats That Herald
The stores mid shops nre full of gny
fmrlngtlme millinery for the southern
tourist. These huts nre so alluring
that even those who stay ut home nre
tempted to throw Judgment to the
winds and Indulge themselves In n
deml-season hat of satin, or satin nnd
straw. It Isn't n bad Idea even with
the thermometer lingering near the
zero mark If the choice is a repre
sentative spring style. Easter comes
early this year.
Any one of the three huts pictured
Is a safo Investment. At the cen
ter a hnt of black silk sets at rest a
burning question. Button, button.
"Who's got the button?" has been an
swered. As many as six dozens of
them nre set close together nbout brim
edges and crowns at the top and bot
tom. This Is a sailor with an up
stundlng edge that makes the best
pos8lblo place for covered buttons.
It Is very tailored, and finished look
ing, nnd has a flat applique trimming
of embroidery at the front.
Of White Batiste
Tho beginning of Lent Is close at
hand, bringing with It the annual as
signment o'f time for spring sewing.
Tho thought of provident mothers Is
centered on replenishing their supplies
of bed linen and table linen, on the
children's sewing, nnd on their own.
All tho new cotton goods nre In house
dresses and lingerie nre to be made
ready and children's clothes got out of
the way, In the weeks between now
nnd Easter. No one minds giving
March to this work. And some of the
work Is Interesting enough to tempt
one to stay Indoors in April for In
stance, dresses for the little girls. Hut
there Is every reasou for making them
during Lent, leaving more leisure for
enjoying tho springtime.
The same fine cottons, linens and
laces that have always been the choice
of the most refined taste appear In
the new patterns In children's dresses,
There Is nothing startling!' new In
their design but a special emphasis
seems to be given to fine and dainty
needlework on (hem. Their trimmings
ure simple but of flue qunllty, and
workmanship on them Is ubo've re
proach. Even for tiny girls some of
the new models have double sklrta.
There Is n decided liking for plaits and
tor little coat effects.
the Spring.
The modest turba- at the left Is
very good style, with satin crown nnd
braid brim, It happens to be In black,
but would look well In French blue or
any of the dark colors. A crisp bow
at the side looks like a butterfly and
lends animation to this model, which
would be too severe without It. At the
right one of the new high-crowned mod
els Is made up along lines thnt are new
this season. Satin and braid arc com
bined In covering the shape, with tho
braid extending frum the upper brim
to the side, crown. But three-quarters
of the crown Is of satin, and this
hat Is shown made up In braid nnd
georgette crepe. It has a flat collar ot
narrow ribbon, held In place by long
stitches of heavy silk thread. A fan
shaped ornament nt the front Is bright
ened with colored berids, and three
ends of ribbon depend from It.
These are deml-season hats of care
ful design, but the approach of spring
Is hernlded In them.
and Val Lace.
A dress of while batiste for a girl
of three Is shown In the picture. It
bus n long waist and a full skirt, laid
In boxplalts. Groups of narrow tucks,
running lengthwise, alternated with
two rows of narrow val Insertion, are
placed at' each side of the opening nt
the back. The same decoration ap
pears at tho front of the waist. A val
edging finishes the neck In a narrow
rullle. The sleeves are a little longer
than elbow length, finished with a ruf
fle of val lace, a group of narrow tucks,
and an insertion of val. All the lace Is
put on by hand and the small tucks
are hand run. There are two rows of
Insertion nnd one of edging about tho
bottom of tho skirt.
The sash of wide, pink brocaded rib
bon is made with a flat bow at tho
back and Is adjusted without any
wrinkling. It lies flat about the little
figure, which arrangement looks parti
cularly well with a long-wulsted
model.
If tlmo Is precious there Is no very
good reason why this dress should not
bo machlno sewed. It is merely
"smarter" when tho work Is done by
hnnd.

n small amount of meat will nmply do
for two.

"As for these sacred concerts, soi
