N w The extraordinary slzo or many of the new hats and the profuse amonnt of trImming on them would seem to be the limit of extravagance in these two directions. Yet we need not look 'furthor bacle thl1n the sourCe and in- , splratlon of our present modes , to 1hHl onrEelv ! s Car behind the extremes of those bygone days. Some of the hats worn by Marlo Antolnetto were made of white straw braids , "the brims of whIch were three and a half feet across. and the crowns seven and n half to nine Inches high. " 'fhese measurements certainly look impossible nnd our present day hats dwindle Into common ) lace insignificance by comparison. Our author tells us theao hats "wero prousely t.rlmmed with fleld flowers , such as marguerites , bluets , poppies and grasses , dnd finished with largo bows and ties of many colored plaid ribbons , nine . Inches wIde. "NeH Gwynne , the actress , who amused Charles II. of England , wore hats said to measure four feet across with straight brIms , smaH crowlls and londed . with largeslzed ostrich plumes , " Even In the matter of plumes we have not distanced the merry Ne1J. 1\1ary Stuart , Queen of Scotland , the romantic beauty whose character has proven such a boon to tho. dlsputntlous historians , bequeathed to postQ.l'ity a bonnet form that is unexcelled in gruce to this do.y. The Marlo Stuart bon. . net Is too famitlar to need desCl'lptlon. It is a statel ' and beautiful headdress which time will leave unchangell. ' , . - Home Remedien for Minor Ills and Afflictions There are numerous minor ills which appear so insignificant as to render the calling of a physician unnecessary - necessary , and yet these ills , neglected - ed , may In the course of time . spread to serious proporllons. It simple home treatment docs not cause the trouble to disappear , tben maI'o skilled knowledge must bo can. sutted. For Instance , tartar may suddenly 110 discovered in some crevice of the teeth. It will appear sometimes in spite of faithful brushing. Should it have collected In an ) ' quanut . there must IQ a general housec1eanlng at first. Take an orange stick anll dip the end-not too sharpin a strong solu. tlon of peroxide or h 'drogen ( it is Imown b ' severnl nnmcs-dlox 'gen , hydrog n peroxide , h 'drogen dioxide , etc. ) . Then dip the wet point in Hnel ) ' powdered pumlco ston and scrub the parts till perfectly white. Each morn. Ing brush the teeth with a wash com. posed or one lJart dloxygen nnd four parts water. Mouth sores , ulcers , gum bolts , etc" create much anne 'ance at times. , Use fl'eel ) ' the wash above mentioned. nut if a qulclc cure is desired for an ulcer , drop into the cenler of it n pinch ot powllered alum. It will bo bitter. and dlsagreeablo for a few mlnutcs , but the ulcer wJl ] disappear almost imme. dlatelr. A pinch of borax In a glass of water , used as n. wash , Is also effectlvo and harmless. In the meantime , look well to the condition of the stomach , where genernlly lIcs the source of the . . troublo.

The white of an esg beaten to a stiff frotb is an old.fashloned but an excellent remed ) ' to relieve such congestions , and If so dcslred lemon julee may be added to it.

J' these lovely flowered cretonnes came in , " said one member of the sewing bee , as she Toole another stitch In the queer.looklng bag. she was making. "I have to sew on something that gets done quickly. " "That Is just what I'm 1001cing for , " broke in the q clate member , who was reading the latest novel to the others while they worked. ' "Put that book down , " command'ed _ th active member , "and I'll ahow 'ou how to make a pall' of cretonne bed slippers this very minute. " The girl , _ or the eretonno bag volunteered to lend a yard pf materIal tbat she ' t'\ couldn't use that artocnoon. and the / ' hostess brought forth a common 'old . lcnltted slipper as a pattorn. Then the i active member cut out a pall' oC cretonne tope by the old slipper and told the associate member to seam them up the bacle. A linIng of plain collon cloth was cut the same site , the edges turned In and stitched on the sewIng machine , and the sUppers were ready to be overhanded to a pall' \ of cork soles. "Now get some coarse linen lace next time you go 1I0wn town. " com. mandell the active member , "and sew It round the tops. " It was done so qUlclely that every girl there resolved to go into cretonne fancy work Immediately. At the next meeting one was fouml making flow. ered bngs for soiled handleerchlefs. A yard of the material was gathered at ench end on to an , embroidery rIng wound with ribbon to match. When the rings were held together the cree tonne formed a delightfully capacious bag. Another was making smaH table covers , with centers of the cretonne and a broad border or plain sateen to match the color of the flowers. A third was malcing a Bet of over- draperIes for her sister's chamber win. Iows , to be hung strnlght down over . the otd muslin curtains. Still another had Invented a set of bureau scarfs , with an edge ot coarse Cluny laco. "And the beauly of it nH Is that 'ou can 110 most of It on the machine , " J said the assoclato member , as she J I bastCll busily at n' cretonne pillow cover. ' . . . . . . . Fashion for Children. For a smaH child about four years , of I\ge there is a charmingly simple plaited frock of the fine nnvy blue Berge , with a smart patent leather . belt In black 01' red , amI ornamental \ stltchings on the collar and currs.
