i _Crowns Both High and Low; Brims Are of All Widths. Prtlrnauire Display of Headgear Cone " stitutes Trying Out Process fof the Different Styles, Millinery shops are putting forth hats of summery aspect—and numbers are being bought by southward bound folk and stay-at-homes as well. This , premature display for the spring ang |’ summer constitutes a trylng out proc- ess for the different styles which the milliners see fit to lnunch at this time of year. The unusual shapes which are be- coming to the few take their proper place, and the shapes which are pre- destined to extinction on account of thelr absolute. hopelessness on any ‘woman are cast.into the discard. As the procession passes the pru- dent woman who gets the last minute of wear out of her winter hat and does not put on her new hat until | epring has really arrived can, if she has good judgment, make her cholce of spring millinery before purchas-|* ing. She can do a sort of mental trying on which will save her from |. making mistakes in the hurry and con- fusion of the actual buying. 4 There is.an unusual variety of mod- | els for the early showing. turbans high and low, flaring and nar- row; tall hats; shapes. flaring up at the front, There are |; crowned, broad-brimmed |: at the back, or at the sides; pokes and tricornes. = Somewhat newer and smarter than ‘the hat with its brim | turned up at the front is the model tarned up sharply at both front ar . back: One model of this:type showed the crown covered -witl{ héavy Sowers and ' straw. brim in matching henna shade, ‘Another model on thess same lines had ‘2 crown of satin of the new Srown tint. The straw brim was of a shade to match. The brim was fpid- ed back at the sidés and trimmed with a large yellow-toned rose. Henna, by the way, is one of the favored shades In' spring millinery. One lovely large broad-brimmed mushroom shape showed a crown and upper part of brim in henna red stragy with facing in oyster white or border- ing on light tan—just off white. The smart medium-sized crown was encir- cled by a hennn-colored fancy feather or umtte. ',PRE'ITY RUSTIC FLOWER VASE Log of Wood May Be Converted Attrackve Deceration for , the' Home. A qnnlnt and pretty little rustic ower vase can be made from a small log of wood. The bark should be left in: its natural ‘condition, and one end of the log hollowed out with a’gouge and a hammer until a sufficient space has been, cut away to admit of insert- ing a small glass bowl or basin, in which ‘' the flowers may be arranged.’ Smal| .

The exterlor ‘of. thie ‘stand can be treated in two. ways. [t canjbe just varnished and left to.dry, or it can be covered with gold-paint.’. - Stands of this kind look very pretty, too, with little ferns planted In'them. and when ‘used” for- that piirpose no bow] or basin s, of course, required: The mat upon which the stand ‘sketched was placed is of a simple and useful type to make for this”pur- pose, and it was carrled outin .pale green velvet and lined with sateen. It is diamond shape, and h'lmmed at thc edges with lace. ————e ‘FASHIONS_ IN BRIEF Bright, copper chiffon’ cloth is nud for negligees. - Patent leather applique work Is seen on navy serge.

A few mo- ments later one of the men noticed that the paper was flapping in the breeze and that the fodr or five stones were huddied in a group in the middle of the paper like a nest full of eggs. He thought the wind was responsible, straightened them and added more stones. 5 The next time he looked around the ‘stones were back in the heap again.
