The woman | Who' tries to. cut expenses by trim- ming her own hats is always tempted to be lavish. And fortunately so. Only the master craftsman and the milliner who is an artist as well can trim a hat with a single flower and produce a smart effect. The hat sketched is of green straw, the lily of white organdie bound with a green wire. Another interesting example of the hat trimmed with a single flower is the rather wide-brim- med poke reminiscent of the directoire | mode, trimmed only with a banding |of soft silk or ribbon round the crown and a rose placed at the right side a little nearer back than front. Then, of course, there is the floppy, gurden-party hat with a single rose with foliage placed on the brim so that the rose comes at the edge, ing down the ha Sometimes his single rose spray is placed so that it actually droops off the hat, hanging down almost to the shoulder. Two interesting things in mid- summer hat fashions you may have noticed—the halo-hat, built without a crown, for the sake of coolness, os- tensibly. Another departure from the normal in midsummer hat fashions is the use of the wide-brimmed felt h The wide brim is chosen as a protection against the sun. It scems bsurd—doesn't it?

In asserting that condition or disease as course T do mot deny the reality of diseases which masquerade under that meaningless title. The only difficulty is that there are still far too many cases of dlagnosable but undiagnosed disease known to the luckless victims as “catarrh,” and neglected or improp- erly treated on the basis of that error.

Answer—No surgeon would attempt to operate merely to improve the ap- pearance of a receding chin, but pos- sibly someéthing may be done to that purpose by a dentist who is skilled in orthodontia. Don’t take seriously the old hokum about the chin indicat- ing character. Many people with “weak” chin have noble, strong char- acter, and many with a “strong” square chin have no character to speak of in polite soclety. Sleep for Beauty. Should a girl 18 years old have more than eight hours' sleep?—Miss € 0.8 Answer—If she has a reasonable amount of exercise daily she should have nine hours sleep.

Look!" shrieked the boys and girls at the cirous. While the lion that caused so much excitement in the parade last week bellowed and roared beneath him, and the funny- face clown tried his best to make him lose his balance, Burt, artist of the ropes, twisted and turned. The crowded tent roared and swayed. It clapped and begged for more. Then Burt did more jack- knife somersaults and smiled and bowed his head to the sawdust. Burt’s pink_tights with their light green ruffie fit perfectly. By bend- ing and pasting the flap on his hand over the bottom of the trapeze which you made from the description in Yesterday’s cut-out, you will see how Burt hangs daringly by one arm.

Miss Wenton—There’s no other wa to go about It if we wish to make p triotic citizens of them. We're not there to teach the history of other countries or loyalty to other coun- tries.

The holiday guests, who had come from town to spend the Fourth at the small suburban place of their friends, came out upon the lawn and ve shrieks of delight. Why, there's a sheep!

The host and proudly. “That's our animated lawn mower,” { | | hostess grinned they imparted. “And we don't keep a flock—only two, mother and child. Would you belleve that this smooth, velvet lawn of ours hasn't had a lawn mower shoved over it all sum- mer? Sheep can crop grass as short as _the sharpest mower ever made; and they are decorative besides, we think. At least, every one who comes along stops to admire the pastoral 'scene presented by our peaceful zers. ‘But—but aren’t they a nulsance on so small a place?” inquired the guest “Not at all. They are the cleanest of animals, you know, with very li tle odor and leaving no noticeable untidiness in their wake. They never have to be fed, as they live solely on the grat and we tether them only to keep them out of the flower beds. n_fact, we tether the mother only, as her lamb keeps close by her side. At night the mother is untied and follows pleasantly to the little house built for her to sleep in. Children all love the lamb and come to see it and feed it bits of bread, for it is very tame.” “Oh, we must have on the guests turned to each other, “just as soon we come 'out to lve in the country,” théy added. “Weil, you can't have one only,” said the host, “for a sheep will not stay alone happily unless it has been brought up entirely away from other sheep.

The little noise doesn't matter.” But shooting off crackers just toi hear the sharp crack, crack. boom has no reason. When you say you are doing It to celebrate, you are saying something silly To celebrate the Fourth of July you will have to make a personal ef- fort; do something yourself. What has ‘buying a cracker and setting a lighted match to it got to do with your feeling for the great holiday? Not a thing. It's what the actors| term u gesture. There are many folk about you who are sick. The noise of the fireworks makes them worse. You would not do that if you could help it. You know how it feels to be sick and you wouldn't like to think vou did ah thing to make its miseries worse for those already suffering. The people in the hospitals espe- clally need your consideration. There should be no noise near one and cer- tainly no child would think of setting off pack after pack of crackers under the windows of the house of sickness. Anyway, what's the use of firecrack- ers? Use the money some other way. Buy a new flag and rafse it with proper ceremonies, you and your chums. Have your own speeches and refreshments. If vou did that, vou wouldn’t have to g0 to the grown-ups' celebration and listen to the man talking, talking and never getting a word he savs, only being frowned at for wiggling or ‘whispering. Those specches are for the older folk. Ask the best friend you have to help you have a young Fourth of July all to yourself. (Copyright, 1923.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN Dandy Pudding.
