The center panel may be unbleached musfin or checkered ging- in thisg i sald evening hats are seldom without some important sort of trimming. There is something very subtle about many of the present-day trim- mings—they are so made and 8o ap- plied to the hat as to give the ap- pearance of being part of it, not some- thing applied after it has been shaped, and as much as possible conform to the characteristic line of the hat. Wooden and metal beads, bits of leather or shell, are applied to the hat with a clever blending of colors that makes them look as if they had evolved there—attached as securely as a barnacle on the side of a ship. * %ok % JFIEST and foremost of the trim- mings to be considered, more through the promise they give than through actual use at present, are os trich feathers. Some one said that every prominent milliner in Paris had his or her own characteristic way of using ostrich in the new hats designed for early Autumn. If that be the case, it is pretty safe to bet that there will be no possible way in which ostrich will not be used for Autumn. Lewls, Sister Susie’s Summer Sewing. ham, with plain color side panels. The applique flower is of material like the side panels, whatever color that may be, with two green applique leaves and a finish of black outline stitch. Bias tape or some similar- finishing who never goes half way in the ap- plication of any fashion, frequently uses what we used to call ostrich tips and demi-plumes, going back to the mode of a generation ago before so called ostrich fancies had been thought of and the only time that a woman wore ostrich that wasn't neatly curled was when she had been caught out in fog or rain and hadn't had time to curl the plumes over again No one had thought of burning or “drenching” ostrich them, and the glycerined ostrich trimming was un- thought of, too. But while Lewls uses it in old-time tip and plume effect, some of the milli- ners manipulate it till you can barely tell it is ostrich. They clip it and work it into flat ornaments that some- times look for all the world like arti- ficlal flowers. This clipped ostrich, known as ‘‘autruche rase” {is sure to play a leading role in Autumn trim- mings, though, from the point of view of the ostrich fancier, it is little short of vandalism and certainly very re markable taste to distort the natural plume in this way. The ‘“autruche rase” appears in all sorts of interest ing gulses—stars and triangles, pom- pons, sunbursts, ete. The ostrich is not the only bird whose plumage is playing an impor tant place in the trimming of hats designed for late Summer and Autumn Quills are still used for trimming little felt sport hats and goose and peacock are worked into all sorts of interest- ing shapes for the service of the milli ners. These humbler feathers, like those of the ostrich, are often glorified by a coating of gold or silver Ribbon, velvet, silk, satin are all used in an infinity of ways to make compact little ornaments for the hats that are to be worn. Crescent-shaped ornaments made of rolled ribbon or velvet are attached to the sides of some of the close-fitting little ha and compact little rosettes and cardes are also used The Summer which w. ‘midst a shower of artificial flowers seems to have wearied of this pic turesque trimming rather sooner than the millirers expected. You many flower-trimmed hats at the beginning of the season, always with the predic tion that there would be more when Summer was well upon us. But ex- cept for the very picturesque garden party hat the flowerladen hat is sel dom seen. And usually where flowers are used they are used sparingly—a single large and lovely artificial rose is thrust through the brim of a wide crin hat with the blossom hanging down to the shoulder, and just the tip of the stem and a leaf or two showing above. . * ok % ok ARGE hats, you know, were worn at the French races.

Perhaps many of the milliners would like to see the very small hat drop out of fashion- able existence altogether. But it seems very likely that fash- ionable women will consent to noth- ing of the sort and though somewhat larger hats are to be generally shown for Autumn, a great many women will select small, close-fitting hats of velvet or plush, often in most original and interesting colors.

Diving is simply the athletic feat of | controlling the body in the air. No dive should be attempted in water less than four feet deep, and when diving from a springboard, or from a high dive, the water should be at | least eight feet deep. It you have never dived before, begin by squatting on the edge of the pier or the diving raft, putting the arms straight_out in front, joined the hands. and simply falling forward. Your body will naturally straighten out as you fall. When you have done this several times, stand up and jump a little bit forward and outward, allowing the legs to rise behind you so that you hit the water head firdt. The body should be stiff, shoulders thrown back, arms and _legs straight, and toes pointed. Practice this until you gain full confidence.
