F EATURES Gives Felt Hat a Smart New Touch BY MARY MARSHALL. Some women are born with an in- nate knack for trimming and bedeck- ng their own hats. If they buy their bats all ready trimmed, it is ten to one they will rearrange the trimming ss the milliner adjusted it before they have worn the hat three times. These women who have a knack at arranging their hats are perhaps the true coquettes. The South Sea Island belle has an innate knowledge of the most becoming and provocative way to arrange her wreath of flowers; the dark-skinned West Indian charmer knows the most coquettish way to tie the ends of her madras head covering, and Spanish Carmen was many times iore charming because she knew the most flirtatious way to arrange her lace mantilla and her high-backed comb. It is the world-old and world-wide ritage of the coquettish woman. ¥ can we expect the coquette to leave the arrangement of the trimming of her hats always to the milliner? JFor the one possessing th knack for arranging and ing the trimming on often a clever idea at this time of the year to rip off old trimming and add lew to the hats already on hand. The hat itself always remains in good condition longer than the trimming, 1d often it is by some unusual trim- ing that a hat is known. The Gaby how tied on the top of 1l round-crowned is a clever to rejuvenate hat bought in the season.

Select shoes that are soft and strong and stand up firmly to the child’s instep. The heel should be well built and the counters firm with- out partaking of the nature of a steel vise that will torture the youngster after the first hour. Nor should they be of pasteboard that al- lows the foot to twist until the child looks as though he wore rockers. Buy two pairs at a time and rest them alternate weeks The toes should lie comfortably in the shoe, and that means a good width there. The heel should sit snugly against the back of the shoe, neither sliding about nor pinched. How will you know? You'll have to experiment a little. If the ankles keep turning over, look he fit of the heel. If when shoe and stocking are taken off the toes are deep red and the lines of the stocking are engraved in the flesh, that shoe is too tight. If the toes are pressed together and have lost their joyous wiggle, that toe is too narrow.

If the rug passes that test, and its dull, soft surface colors further lead you to believe it is a true antique, try separating the threads and look- ing well into the back of it. 1If, in contrast to the surface shades, the varn at the back is brightly colored, You can safely consider that you are examining a new “antique” of which the surface has been energetically bleached. Look sharply, too, for places where the colors in the pattern have spread about_either on the rug’s surface or into the back part of the yarn. Such “spreading” is a pretty good indica- tion that the excellent dyes used in the rugs of antiquity not present, and that for them have been substi- tuted cheaper. cruder colorings, which have subSequently been caused to run by bleaching and washing processes. Finally, the sophisticated Oriental rug buyer will often rub a bit of the rug with a wet cloth. The fric- tion causes warmth, and brings out an unmistakable smell of chloride of lime, used in bleaching, if the rug is a “modern antique.” BY THORNTON W.

Come on in the house and I'll show you all the things I'm getting ready.” Betty and Billy Cut-out followed him inside and stood looking en- viously at all the things Ted had bought to take on his trip. Ted's rich grandfather spoiled him, and Ted was very vain. “I'm going to take a ca- noe trip all by myself,” boasted Ted, “down the river to my uncle's cabin at Oak Nook. Come over day after tomorrow and I'll let you see me off.” Cut a pair of pasteboard oars from the pattern given here. Then color the green basket and cut it out, with all the other boxes and cans Ted is taking. You can fit the beans and sardines into the baseket by cutting on the dotted line. In the same way you can put the field glasses in their case. (Copyright, 1924.) Plant Life in District of Columbia BY R. A. EMMONS. May Apple. Podophyllum peltatum. Every one knows the May apple. or mandrake. Some call it wild lemon, from a resemblance between its vellow, egg-shaped fruit and the lemon. Others call it umbrella leaf for a reason that is easily apparent. The May apple is very frequent in woodlands in and around Washing- ton; in fact, it would be somewhat difficult to enter a plece of damp woods in this vicinity without find- ing this plant. The flowers are very beautiful, as each cup of purity nods half hidden and sheltered beneath its large soft- Green, umbrella-like leaves. They Sre large, one to two inches broad, one flower to each plant, white, with six to nine petals, usually six, and With twice as many stamens as pet- als. The fruits ripen in July. They are about two inches long, resem- bling a lemon or yellow tomato; are mawkishly sweet, sought out and relished by couniry children. The Test of the plant is poisonous, how- ever, and children should be warned against them. The plant is one to one and a half feet high, coming up from a long, running rootstock. At the top of the flowerless stems are borne the large, solitary leaves, nearly a foot in diam- eter, rounded, five to seven lobed, and supported by the stem in the center, umbrella fashion. The flowering plants bear two leaves, rarely onme or three, similar to the others, but smaller' and less symmetrical. (Copyright, 1924, by R. A. Emmons.) Spare the Flowers.

Hot-weather feet are large, sticky, bulgy in the wrong places and achy all over.

Oh, hot-weather feet are very bad in- deed! 1f you are at home most of the day, you can easily treat your feet.

This is very cooling and as stimulating as a shower bath. You should wear fresh stockings every day, particularly if your feet hurt. It's easy, no matter how busy you are, to rinse the old stockings out in warm water at night when you've taken them off, and to hang them up to dry. They'll wear twice as long that way, and you'll have less foot discomfort. Wear silk, fine lisle, or n cold weather, mixed wool and silk. These materials are absorbment, and better than cotton.

THE GUIDE POST By Henry and Tertius Van Dyke. Postponed Duties. When I have a convenient season I will call thee unto me.—Acts XXiv.25. Felix, the Roman governor, for all his pomp and authority, was terrified. He trembled before his prisoner. Paul, reasoning of righteousness | and self-control and the judgment to come, reached his conscience. That was a real experience for both men. Felix saw what the inevitable out- come would be if he faced the duty that Paul set, not only before him, but before the whole world. So he did what most of us do under similar circumstances. He postponed the decision to a con- venient season. So far as we know the convenient season never came. It never does come for anybody. You simply cannot postpone a duty. You can only refuse it. And when you refuse it you have taken the most effective steps for damaging yourself. How many of the sorrows and anx- feties of life come from “postponed” duties. Tomorrow is never what we think it will be. In that comes. Today we think we will be happy and please ourselves. Tomorrow we will do our duty. But we only make ourselves un- happy pleasure seekers.

An adverse saturnine influ- ence developing until midnight warns against risks and matters requiring quick judgment or speedy decision. This same Influence counsels delay, as otherwise loss will be incurred. A child born today will, with ordi- nary care and normal environment. develop into a physically vigorous maturity. Its disposition will become boisterous, and it will be rather in- different and callous to those who are not endowed with the same de- gree of good health and self-asser- tiveness. It behooves you, if you are the parent of this child, to instruct it assiduously in the ways of gentle- ness, forbearance and a becoming modesty. Discourage, in early child- hood, flambuoyancy of character and overbearingness of disposition. If today is your birthday, you will on self-analysis, be willing to con- cede that in spite of your many good characteristics, your besetting weakness is lack of accuracy—ac- curacy in observation, accuracy in speech, accuracy in the transaction of_business. 3 It is astonishing how few people can dofine a fact accurately.

If your name is May, and you are fat, it is quite appropriate in the historical sense, for if your name: traces back to Ireland it is likely that you inherit a tendency toward corpulency. ] The Gaelic form of this family name, which is quite old, is “O'Mhelth.” It has, of course, gradu- ally become a family name in our modern sense, through many cen- turies of use as a clan name. Itis a name which dates back considerably farther than the oldest of the Eng- lish family names, or those of any other country, in fact. As nearly as can be estimated from the ancient Irlsh records, the Clan O'Mheith came into being about 350 A. D, in the days when the Irish were still pagan, and the power of their empire was felt in raids and invasions clear down into Italy. The clan was founded by a chief- tain named “Muireadach” known as “Muireadach Meith® (“the Fat”), » such that it can only find enduring gladness in the incidental accom- paniments of duty performed today.

Mrs. Sol Bloom, wife of Representa- tive Bloom of New York, has shared most of her husband's eventful career, which has embraced a wide range of activities, including signal success in the theatrical field, news- paper world and as the “Music Man" when he owned 80 branch stores. Doubtless Mrs. Bloom regards her greatest achievement the upbringing of her gifted young daughter Vera, writer, linguist, composer and singer. Mrs. Bloom adds to her own tasks the catering to the fancies of her little family and recommends a dish that is a general favorite: Boil one pound of fresh Kennebec salmon until well done, then cool and chop into bits. Also chop one dozen anchovies and a small bunch of parsley very fine. Mix and moisten with mayonnaise made with tarragon vinegar until it becomes a paste. Scoop out one-half dozen medium sized tomatoes, not too ripe; fill with this paste, place on crisp leaves of lettuce and pour over some mayon- naise; over the top put two crossed anchovies.
