WOMAN’S PAGE. How to Make Hat Boxes for Travel BY L If you have tried to pack hats in a suitcase, you well know how hard it Is to do 0, unless the crowns be of the crushable variety. Many hats have not this kind of crown, and then the packing of them becomes a problem. This article on how to solve the problem of carrying hats Is especial- 1y for those whose purses are slim and Whose tastes stylish. To be up to date and economical are things not too easy to combine. But there are ways of doing it swhich no one else will ever suspect, unless you choose to tell them THE HOME-MADE TRAVELING HAT BOX IS CHIC AND EASY TO HANDLE. of ft. After all it is just as well to Leep one’s economies to one’s self. To give an air of prosperity is more im- portant than to let everyone know how clever vou are in making a silk purse out of a Sow's ear. Popular and Practical. It is not exactly a silk purse we are talking about. The finished article looks much like one of the smart bought”” hat boxes. so popular and practical tod: Indeed, it may look even nicer than some of them and will be as practical as any. Two Styles. The hat boxes which they will most closely resemble are those made of the WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN. The Seductive Shawl. The shawl is undoubtedly the most graceful and beautiful article of woman's apparel. It is so decorative and flowing that it is universally be- coming to all types of women, and it is believed to have greater antiquity than any other garment. The shawl is of Oriental origin, and in the East it is worn alike by men and women. The “old Cashmere shawl” was a treasure {n the wardrobe of our grand- mothers, and fortunate indeed is the woman who can bring forth from its camphored seclusion one of these heir: looms with its priceless associations. For “priceless” is right, if we go out to buy one of these genuine Orlental works of art, in all its splendid color- ings and brilliancy The shawl was first introduced into ¥ourope at the time of Napoleon's re- turn from Egypt. where he was fasci- nated by the alluring garments worn so lavishly by the Oriental It is said that he bought for the Empress Josephine over four hundred of these shawls at one time. and that one of his caprices was that he should never see the same shawl upon her shoul- ders twice in succession. From Sunny Spain, land of the senoritas and toreadors, come the rich and colorful fabrics which made such a flashing entree a few seasons ago. These are gorgeous with silk embroid- ery in scarlet, yellow and orange shades. But the American version has been to tone down these stunning colors to something less flerce and fery, so that we have many Spanish mhawls of heavy silk embroidered in faint lilac or deep mauves, with a fringe of darker purple; or possibly with the brilliant orange subdued to burnt umber or palest corn or ivory. Ttaly sends us exquisitely hand- embroidered amples that are mnot beyond the reach of our purses. There are also excellent machine-worked veplicas of the designs on large shawls, with the embroidery so skill- fully dome that it been put on by hand. The Italian shawls are, as a rule, more delicately colored and are more often developed with long worsted fringes. The Russian type is based on the Spanish styles, but it has painted de- eigns in place of the embroldered flowers, butterflies or birds character- istic of the original shawls. But the Russian shawls are more fantastic in motif, and more blocked in effect, with wider splashes of color. The peasant shawls from Italy and the Balkans are likely to be of much heavier wool crepe, with worsted em- ‘broidery. There is a scear_a_sha ight and wrong way to '0_be_most_effectiv. N d 1t makes little difference how often you mo;uyn,', you are careful to maintain n scalp circulation by use of Newbro's Herpreide.

There are two styles, both of which will be discussed. Bach has its advantages, and the choice is with the individual who Is to make and carry it. One kind of traveling hat container s not reinforced. It might be called collapsible. Empty, it could be car- ried in a suitcase, or trunk. This kind has the advantage of being in evi- dence only when needed. It can be brought forth as required. It is light to carry, and conforms to the shape of the hat inside. It is usually not e deep as the more substantial hat 0. Materials. il cloth, satine for lining and tape for binding edges are the materials necessary. Cut two circles of the black oficloth of the size you wish. Glue in lining of same size. making sure of its being secure around the adges. Take a straight plece of oll cloth long enough to go around the circumference of circle, line In same and on machine stitch all the way around to one of the circles This straight plece of oll cloth may have the flap cut in one with it, or the flap can be stitched on separately. This flap should be deep and extend well over the one side when closed. The circle over which 1t fastens is se cured along the lower edge and well up each side. It is important to have a large | enough opening to get hats in and out. The second circle need not ex- tend but very little beyond where the flap touches it. This will increase size of opening. Snaps should be secured to bag and flap. Another way Is to have one side of bag composed of two half circles. The hats are slipped in between. Flat Box That Is Chic. A smarter and more substantial type of hat box is made in slightly different manner. First select any pasteboard hat box, firm, and prefer- ably round. Make a cover into which the entire box will slip. The cover for the lid may be made in one with the rest or separately. The trimness of the edge depends upon the binding, and also upon the placing of the snaps which secure the covering of the lid to that of the lower part. The covering may be made of oil- cloth or of u dark figured upholstery | material which resembles satine. The | latter is mentioned because of its hav- | ing been successfully used for the | very purpose described. It traveled many hundreds of miles and showed no signs of wear. The hat box which it covered was an ordinary pasteboard one. In this case a strap with handle served for the carrying of it Handles for Hat Box. | You can have handles taken from | an old suitcase fastened on your hat box. A strap around the circumfer ence of box, with handle on it, is a sat isfactory solution, providing the cover is well fastened on. In order to put a professional as well as a practical wuch to an impro- vised hat box. it is & good thing to have your initials stenciled on it. A box of unusual attractiveness could be | made by painting the basket desizn upon the side of it. The pattern will be forwarded upon request and on re. ceipt of self-addressed and stamped envelope, if sent to Lydia Le Baron appears to have | Walker care of this paper. the shawl should be draped about the shoulders with elaborate carelessness, | and never by any chance wrapped | tightly about the body to be clutched stifly in front. Then, too, the whole softness and delicacy of the shawl may | be destroyed If worn with the wrong | dress. Its soft texture and harmony of coloring are a wonderful comple ment to a chiffon, crepe or soft silk frock, but if worn, for instance, over a gown of metal cloth or a frock of many vivid colors, the shawl loses hopelessly its wonders of form and color.

Answer to Petting Party Question. JDEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have a good husband, and some nice children, but my trouble is this. My husband thinks that I am not doing right because I insist on staying at home all the time with my children, instead of £olng out with him. 1 feel that if I stay at home and work hard, it is not necessary for me to doll myself up as I did when we were first married. We do not quarrel over this matter, but my husband hints that he will pick up another companion if 1 do net show him mere attention. Don’t you think he is all wreng? Answer: No) A man doesn't marry a woman just to zet a_househeld drudge. Nor does he marry her just to be a mother to his children. e marries to get & companion, and when a wife falls to be this she fails just as much in her duty as if she were a poor housekeeper, or neglected her children. When a man picks out a girl for a wife, he does so mainly because she is attractive to look upon. She is pretty and neat. iler hair is curled. Her nose {8 powdered. Khe has on good-Jooking shves. She wears gay dresses and fluttering ribbons. In the slang of the day. &he is easy on the eyes, and he thinks that he will have & nice household ornament that he will love to kaze upon and be proud to show off the balance of his days. MRS. A. Now, If, as soon as they are married. the weman quits delling up man has a right to feel that she cheated him, and get him under yretenses. For Heaven knows, he never weould have arried the slouchy, slovenly nursery and whom no man ceuld possibly want to kiss! Certainly, a husband has a right to feel that his wife cares ver: little for him if she dves not think it worth while to try te make herself attractive and desirable to him. and he must feel that he bores her If she is never willing to go out any place of amugement with him, &nd never wants to chum with him the false drab Of course, the woman's alibi 1s the children. She says that her place Is | 8t home with the children, but again it is not flattering to a man's vanity to | realize that his nose has been put entirely out of joint by a red-faced infant in a cradle, and his pleasure and his wishes are as nothing compared to baby's. The allenation of many a young couple comes with the first baby. The wife makes of herself a slave to the nursery, and forgets that she has any duty to her husband. She refuses to go with her husband, und he learns to take his pleasures without her, and so they drift apart. } You had better take your husband’s warning, Mrs. A, and doll yourself up and go with him, it you want to keep him. Otherwise, you will lose him. There are many safe people you can hire to take care of your children, but there is no safe woman with whom you can leave your husband.

It seems to me that there is nothing in the world concerning which we are so much the victims of foolish tradition as | we are about family life. Because in patriarchal times whole families herded together, we still feel that people who stand in & certain relationship to each other must live under the same roof, no matter how much they antagonize each other, or how mis- erable they make life for each other.
