Another thing to remember is that v look wondeffully well when the wearer is sitting down, and yet not suit the person when standing. I well remember one young debutante, short and slender, who was choosing a large pleture hat. It certalnly was handsome on her while she sat in the chair before the mirrors in the milli- ner's parlor. It was only when she stood up and surveved herself criti- cally in the long pier glass that she realized how overpowering the hat Wi how it dwarfed her stature and detracted from her dainty appearance. Do not decide upon a hat, therefore, unless you know it Is becoming from every angle of the head and suits the stature also. COLOR CUT-OUT APRIL 7 DOROTHY DIX’S: LETTER BOX Recipe for Happiness Given in One Four-Letter Word—Is the Stepmother Justified in > Her Injured Pride? EAR MISS DIX: T am a girl just out of high school and I have begun to analyze myself for my good and bad points. I find I am.a victim of moods. 1f the least lttle thing goes wrong I become gloomy and depressed and I worry myself sick. In fact, at times I lose faith in myself and all humanity. What is your recipe for happiness? " JA Answer: If you want to be happy, Jane, stop analyzing yourself and forget that you have a soul. You can think vourself into & stute of mental sickness even more easily than you can into bodlly illness. Vivisecting themselves is.one of the favorite.amusements of women, but it is a dangerous sport. It is the woman who sits up with her finger on her pulse.all the time who decides that the temperature of her affection for her husband has gone down to subnormal, and that some other man |s her real soulmate, and who weeps gallons of tears of self-pity Because she isn't understood at home. You never hear of a poor woman who has to cook, and.sew, and wash, and mend for half a dozen children who worrfes over whether hier husband is her affinity or not. She is t0o busy to keep tab on her heart throbs. The less you think about yourself, the happier you will be, my dear. None of us have characters and dispositions that bear much scrutiny, nor does it pay to turn the X-ray on our lots in life. There are too many hard places and bumpy places disclosed. As for your moods, they are merely a combination of biliousnew and egoism. They can easily be cured by a good dose of liver medicine, followed by the Boy Scouts formula, doing a good deed every day. Try it and see how wonderfully it works. You can't be moody when you are feeling fit and fine and clear-eyed, and you, will cease to worry over the small ills of your own life when you are helping somebody else to bear a crushing burden. 1925 Menu for a Day.

Price Not a Criterio: This season hats can be had that are remarkably good looking and yet which are not at all high-priced. There are also many creations of the milliner's art that are dreams of beauty and which cost large sums. On | the other hand, there are frames and materials that the woman who is deft with her needle and artistic in her ideas can transform into smart and becoming hats. The hints given to- day are those to be considered, wheth- er a woman pays much or little for her hat; whether she buys it ready to wear or makes it herself. The essen- tial things are to have the new hats reflect beauty and charm of personal- ity, and be as delightfully fresh and attractive as the season Syggests.

At Jeast, that sound seemed to be coming from very near the place where he had watched Thunderer on a certain mossy old log more than once. “There is only one log over there that Thunderer ever drums on, and that must be the one you have seen nim on,” declared Jumper the Hare. “And, Peter, dear, it isn't hollow. “I know better!” snapped Peter. “Of course, it 1s hollow. You may say he doeen’t strike the log with his wings in order to make that noise. Then how does he make it?" “That T can't explain exactly,” re- plied Jumper. “Of course, you n't!” cried Peter, triumphantly. “I tell you what, Jumper, let’s o right over there now, and if Thunderer is still there we'll watch him drum. That will settle the question.” Jumper grinned, for he had watched Dry shoe polish is apt to darken brown leather.

But to their great disappointment he spread his wings and whirred away. “Anyway, we'll look at the log, Thunderer's drumming log,” said Jumper, and led the way. It was an old log. It was a very old log. It was such an old log that it was covered with moss. It must have been lying there for years and vears. “Look at the ends and see if it is hollow,” Jumper commanded.
