BY MARY MARSHALL. JFORE Winter "had officially begun certain things were settled regarding the fashion of hats next Spring. On the 12th of December Lewis of Paris had his first Spring showing— and there and then it became appar- t to many that the peaked crown or trimming to carry out the peaked fdeax was to be retained for Spring. There was a little question about this, especially on this side of the tic, where the peaked hat when ntroduced seemed almost as un- as had the high, square- d hat a few months earlier. harsh judgment seems to have softened. Is it because the ex- s have been modified or be- had simply grown accus- to the peak? the rule for the making of & millinery seems to be to do ething to the top of the Pat— ither to pinch it so as to give it a or point at the top or to place trimming, bow of ribbon flow- eathers, at the apex ar as Lewls is concerned, there is no other place to tr a hat, Here re in the collections of hats ring vou may be able to find side trimming and even tfimming droopin dow over the cheek, but this will be hold s high place in nned for Spring. the shop window® have familiar the little felt hats d only with bunches of flow- the top.

This is interesting since for so many years no one not speaking facetiously has meant anything but an infant's ad covering by this old-time word. t for the sunny Winter resorts both in France and America the French modistes have been making small, close-fitting satin hats that they call bonnets. i N sy i Bi of the general houseclean- s that has recently taken place in the realm of millinery with t scrapping of any number of shapes, pokes have survived As we see them now they are very picturesque affairs, with high crowns and wide at the sides, with scarcely 1y brim at the back, or an upturned m at the back. They are especi- ally interesting when made of straw. And now we have quite a new list of words to use in connection with the new shapes. The postillon and Girondin shapes have been forgotten, but we talk of clown's and jester's, fool's and the fisherman's caps. It may be that the original inspiration peaked headgear was derived from the warriors’ coats of arms. There THE ABOVE, CLOWN’S HAT OF BLACK SATIN, WITH AIGRETTE TRIM- MING; AT LEFT, BLACK STRAW, WITH VELVET ROSETTE, AND AT RIGHT, CLOTH-OF-GOLD TURBAN, WITH GILDED FEATHER TRIMMING AT SIDE. My Neighbor Says: ‘When making a baked custard make a point of warming the milk before adding the ¢ggs, as there is less chance of its turn- ing out thin and watery. The leaves of house plants should be kept free from dust, hence frequent washings are absolutely essential, although when watering never wet the flowers of the plants or allow drops of water to stand on the leaves in the sunshine. Lamb chops are deliclous if dipped in lemon juice just be- fore broiling. ‘Whaere grease is spilled on a kitchen table or floor pour cold water on it at once. The cold wAll harden it. It may then be taken uf with a knife and will not soak in. To wash windows quickly dip 2 plece of chamols about a foot square into about two quarts of tepid water and one cup of vinegar. Wring the chamols out dry and wipe the window as usual. It is cleaned and dried at the same time. Never soak rice or macaroni before cooking them. Wash the former well, but not the latter, and place both in bolling water to cook. several seasons. Now one of the| most talked about of Suzanne Tal- bot's new creations is a hat shaped | like an antique Grecian helme with a roll of ribbon across the crown from one ear to the other. Other similar hats are described as being shaped like crusaders’ helmets. As usual all these new terms are used rather indiscriminately. The | jockey cap, apparently, is usually one | of the pointed sort with a ridge across the crown from front to back. To be thoroughly informed on the subject of the new hats you must also ave been casque-shaped hats for be able to spot at sight a “Pierrot topknot” and a Tyrolean cap. Among the new clefted, peaked hats Leéontine’s new shape has been de- scribed as exactly like the Jungfrau in outline Flowers stfll bloom on the shoul- ders of women in evening dress, as well as plentifully at the crest of their new ked hats. Quite the newest flowers for evening are tip- ped with brilliants, so that they look as if they had been touched with a fairy's diamond wand. * ok % % T some of the millinery shops you may buy your corsage bouquets with your hats, and you really should have one to match every hat.in your collection. There are new shapes trimmed with lovely Parma violets, right at the apex, and with these go bunches of Parma violets for the corsage. Some of the milliners sell thess hats with a narrow ribbon running from the hat to the corsage bouquet, though the ribbon of course need not be worn. And now we hear that some women are substituting real flowers for artl- ficlal—a fashion that ought to bring thrills of joy to the florists.

Things Which Are of Interest to the Younger Readers “Striking” For Swordfish. Who said fishing is a tame sport?” snorted old Capt. White. ‘Well,” explained his grandsen, Ted, at whose house the old captain was visiting, “I alw: had an idea it wasn't very exciting.” ‘That's because the only fisBtng you ever saw was still fishing done with worms.

You see it's te a business. Most of the swordfishing is done from large sloops and two-masted fishing schobne Out on the end of the bowsprit, which is at the front of the ship, & ‘pulpit’ is rigged.

When it comes within strik- ing distance the ‘striker’ hurls his weapon at the fish's side. Jerking back with an attached rope, he which g leaves the iron-pointed barb in the fish. To this barb is attached a hundred feet of stout six-thread warp. On the free end is tled a buoy or buoket which is thrown over- board. The dories, or small fishing boats, are then lowered away, and in the meantime the swordfish drowns itself trying to get away from the barb and the buoyant keg which checks its angry dives. “It takes a regular fight to land one of these fish. I know & fellow who spent five and a half hours get- ting one last season. It's a dangerous business, as the fish is likely to get at one of the dories and run its sword through it. “Onde the fish is dead it is hoisted on board the big boat, dressed, and packed in chopped ice. Then the fishermen go after another. Five to ten fish a day is good luck and means that the fishermen will get about a thousand doliars aplece for the season.” ““Well, T'd want a lot more money than that to go swordfishing,” grinned Ted. “I take back what I said about fishing being tame.” The Clue of a Spotted Dog. Once a little spotted dog helped polve a big stolen jewels mystery— Lut, of course, he didn't know the fmportant part he was playing. 1fe'd plaved other parts, though, but +—well, this is the sto; A famous actre 1 call her [Miss Alan, but that {isn't her real name—stepped from a cab in State Etreet, Chicago, a few years ago, and, as she did 5o, a handbag slipped from her lap, unnoticed, and dropped into the gutter. She entered a hair- drrsser’'s and the cab moved away. I'wo young women, one leading a spotted dog on a chain, were g. They saw the bag fall and the cab moved away one of the girls picked up the bas. She went into the hairdresser's with the Lag while the other girl waited out- =ids, amusing herself by making the dog sit up and beg and do other tricks. Then the other girl came out, as though she had left the bag, and away they strolled. hortly afterwards Miss Alan dis- covered that her bag was missing and the detective bureau was set on sthe trail. The only clue was that a man had meen the girls and the bag, just as described.

Miss Alan had offered $1,000 reward for her jewels, so people were on the lookout. In a few days a man called up and sald a young fellow he knew only slightly had that day tried sell him a necklace which seemed like one of those Miss Alan sald she lost. A -detective soon found the young fellow, searched his rooms, and found part of the missing jewels. The young man confessed that the jewels had been given him by a girl friend to sell for her. He sald she was a vaudeville performer— part owner of a trained animal act—but had left town the day before and he didn’'t know where she could be reached.

Prisoner—I don't know. About ‘honar @=8 up? Called “Magic” Do you carry your lunch to school? Did you go on long hikes last Sum- mer? Then, of course, you carried along a bottle that kept your lemon- ade cold or your soup hot, whichever you wanted. No doubt you wondered Jjust how this curious bottie works. James Dewar, the inventor, was a great British chemist. One of the things he did quite successfully was to make air into a liquid. He did the same thing with a number of other gases. After he had liquefied air De- war was In a strange fix, He didn't have any place to put the new liquid where it would keep properly. In order to have some place in which to keep his new product, the sclentlst Invented the Dewar flask, or vacuum bottle. Just how does it happen that these bottles can hold a steady temperature? Why can these bottles keep a substance cold or hot for many hours? The answer can be found by looking over a couple of the queer properties of heat. Heat is like a rallroad train—it travels. In order to travel it must have something to travel on or through. Heat will travel through air, wood, metal, glass or liquid. It goes through some of these things much faster than others. Some substances, such as asbestos, sawdust, cork, wool, paper and hollow tile, are poor heat conductors because of the “dead air spaces” In them. Substances llke this are known as In Dark Ages. non-conductors, or heat insulators. A vacuum—that is, a space in which there 8 no alr or anvthing else—is one of the best heat insulators, for practically no heat passes through it. If an ordinary bottle is wrapped in paper, asbestos or some other non- conductor of heat, a hot liquid in that bottle will lose its high temperature slowly. If this bottle is wrapped in a vacuum, the liquid will be kept warm for an even longer time. This is what is done In making Dewar flasks, or vacuum bottles. One bottle is molded inside of another and the alr In the space between the two bottles is pumped out, leaving a vacuum “blanket” to insulate agalnst temperature changes. Vacuum bottles are not places in which heat used. Asbestos he. sulating jack- ets are commonly used to cover hot water plpes or steam pipes; woolen caps are used In covering coffee pots; paper packing, mineral wool and hol- low spaces are used in insulating an icebox. So far, no one has used a vacuum wall for this sort of heat insulation, but that is no sign it will not be done In the future. These bottles are made of glass and metal, but practically always they are polished on the outside and “sil- ver-mirrored” on the Inside to de- flect or throw back heat rays and make it even harder for them to *ravel. the only insulation is Uncle Joe’s Boy and His Work Joe, his face marked by several long smudges, sat 1dly on a pile of old au- tomoblle tires in front of the garage while he watched Uncle Jos, owner of the little place. “Honk!" Joe looked up to ses & big automobile, shiny with newness, stop out in fron! “Here, boy,” called the owner of the car, “where's the fellow that runs this garage?’ There's something the matter with the motor and we want servioe quick.” “Uncle Joe,” called the boy, for the garageman had stepped Inside for some tools, just before the arrival of the car. The old man came out and proceeded to go to work swiftly and expertly on the car. Joe helped him, getting tools and holding the light, for dusk was coming rapidly as they worked. In the meantime, the important looking owner sat pufing on 'a big cigar and talking to his fashionably dressed wife, who was continually making peevish remarks to the effect that it seemed to take a long time to fix the car and she was sure they'd be late for their appointment. Finally the car was finished. The owner handed Uncle Joe the money and the old man went inside to get change. Young Joe straightened up, having added several more streaks to the collection of black on his face. “You folks headed down the Randall road?’ he asked. “Why-er-ye: answered the man with the cigar. “Well, I'm golng that way, too. I'd like to hop in and ride along.” “Why—the idea!” cried the woman shrilly, speaking to her husband, but raising her volce so Joe could hear. “He's all dirty, Besides, how would we look it they'd see us riding up with a little imp from a garage in the car! I never heard of such impu- dence!” “Why, I'm afraid—"the big man turned to Joe.
