BY MARY MARSHALL. HE big change in millinery has not come.. It doesn't even appear distantly on the far-off horizon. Any sort of spyglass that you as a fashion prophet may have devised will probably fail to reveal it. In fact, although there are new tricks and new tendencies, and the list, of new materfals, smart trimmings, ashionable shapes, etc,, shows changes here and there, theré is nothing at all revolutionary to be found. It would undoubtedly be a profit- able thing for the milliners if the big change did come. Women would discard all their hats on hand and they would have to buy more than they do now when a last year's hat, if not in bad condition, may be worn occasionally. They would have to start all over as far as hats are con- cerned. But really the milliners have no one to thank but themselves for this situation. For the past few sea sons they have been making hats tha’ so completely satisfied and pleased the women who wear them that there has been mno desire for a change Don't you find It true that most women like hats as they are, and that they wouldn't for a good de go back to hats as they were in 1890 or 1900 or 1910, or any other time? Perhaps the strongest complain® * that is made against the modern ha is that frequently it is too small. Women who have not chosen to have their hair cut and who, perchance huve fairly large heads, weep when trying to get hats large encugh in the rown to fit them. From the point o w of the milliners, at least, ever han was bobbed or had her hair ch trimmed out that she might well have had it shorn an who was not of this class ap parently wasn't worth considering apparently the makers of hats d they were mistaken. And now almost every large millinery shop has special means of providing for the an who needs a large-head size. Meantime, the ghapes and trim g of hats continue to be chosen olely for the benefit of the shingled . and bobbed majority. Large shapes that were promised 12 months ago nre no nearer finding general favor now than then, and the reason gener- nlly ziven is that women with shorn hair do not look well in a wide- Yrimmed hat. Whether or not the short-haired women exceed those with long hair in actual numbers, they do surpass them in fashion influence Your milliner and hatmaker, having been convinced that long-hatred wom en still exist, make hats with large <, but they persistently desigr hats that would be worn to ad vantage by the woman with bobbe” > The sources of inspiration for the shapes in hats that have been brought forward for late Winter and Spring are wide, indeed. If you want some. thing rather re=al and majestic, there ds a_shape called after Henry II and another after Henry III Louls XVI shapes are still considered smart, and, of course, there is Napoleon, whose hats have undoubtedly supplied the milliners with more inspiration than those of any other monarch in the world. The influential French milliners never grow tired—of late years at least—of the pleasing lines of the beret, a headdress that originated with the Basque peasants and that was taken thence to be the informal head- gear of painters and art students in Paris. Reboux has again made this time-honored beret famous. This sea- son it is a very pliant draped beret t may be made becoming to almost any one. In this country we are per- haps wise to refer to it as a tam, though that smacks more of Scotland than of Southern France. However, you hear quite as much of Reboux's new tam as of Reboux's beret—though ‘they are identical. Then there is the new chef’s beret— he | | or chef's tam, as we should call it TAKE A HAIR HAL WI:H A ROUNDED CROWN AND A WIDE, RATHER DROOPING BRIM, DYE IT IN THAT DELECTABLE NEW COLOR CALLED LOVEBIRD, DRAPE THE HAT WITH MAUVE CHIFFON, AND THEN LET A LIT- TLE BUNCH OF GRAY ISH PINK FLOWERS NESTLE CLOSE TO THE SIDE OF THE CROW™ AT EITHER SIDE, AND YOU WILL HAVE THF RYCIPE FOR THE HAT SHOWN IN CIRCLE AT LEFT.

Vagabonds and gypsies both have had their influence. The vagabond hat, as vou doubtless know, is @ rather soft felt, with somewhat wider brim than the little felt we have been wearing so long. Reboux has made much of the gypsy toque—really more of a turban than a toque. paies. you know. have a clever way of fold- ing a highly colored square of printed silk or cotton and then tying it around their heads, leaving the ends knotted and hanging on one side. The voung women here used colorful squares tled in this manner in lieu o* regular riding hats last Summer, and apparentlv suggested to the milliners, such as Reboux, the possibilities of # toque or turban similarly constructed. Sometimes these hats are called ban danna turbans. Reboux's beret has been as much talked about as anything in the way of late Winter millinery. Then you hear much discussion of Agnes’ high square crown, with the general feel- ing prevalent that while it s ver: smart and full of French chic, it wil! never come in for much popularity in America American women can't wear these high-crowned hats—o think they can't, which seems to amount to the same thing. So long as fur coats are worn or coats with heavy fur collars back brimiessness in hats will remain » necessity. If any sort of fluffy neck wear is worn in Spring and Summer then, tco, the back brimlessness is - virtue. Once upon a time a wide- brimmed hat might be worn at the same time as a full ostrich boa, but that was when hats sat high on the head and their brims did not revolvs in the same orbit with the collar. The hat that we call poke—wide- brimmed at side and front and nar- row or brimless at the buck—is now and doubtless was in the directoire period when it was first worn a fash- fon born of necessity and convenience. Then as now women wore their hats well down on their heads, and then as now they found that a brim wide at the back was a very uncomfortable proposition when worn low. And then as now a woman would not have dreamed of wearing & hat high up on her head. Color in hats is a question that al- ways becomes apparent as Winter wanes and Spring draws nigh. With- out exception some one color becomes strikingly pre-eminent. Once it seemed as if every woman wore a red toque, once they all wore periwinkle hats until they found how commonplace they had become. I can remember a season of mustard-col ored hats—prodigiously unbecoming. Henna hats enjoyed a tremendous Spring vogue not 80 many years ago. Some one suggests that a bright shade of red, already enjoying some vogue in Paris, will be due for a run of popularity in millinery when Spring comes. So if you have a yearning to wear a red hat, wear it now, while there is some distinction in so doing. Women in Paris have worn bright red hats with black frocks or coats. With brown costumes they have chosen hats of gold, and, with gray, green seems to be their cholce. The new red has been described as being be- tween a raspberry and a cherry. Agnes has been making hats in three or four tones of one color—a light beige, a deeper beige, a light brown and a brown, or four tints shading from pale pink to ross. This is & trick that is well worth following: Among other colors that are spoken of as very smart for late Winter and carly Spring wear are these: Cycla. men, ruby, tomato, peach, corn flower blue, plum, chartreuse and Tovebird. All the natural kasha colors, T am also told, will be in high favor. Ro- setta {8 a new color that you might infer was of a rosy cast if you were not assured that it was gray—gray to match the fameus rosetta stone. Truly, our milliners are becoming quite erudite.

Never before since you or I can remember have well dressed women here and abroad worn so many hats of color. In England as in America women felt this unusual desire to wear bright- colored hats even in dreary days in town. The death of Queen Mother Alexandra and the following period of mourning brought about a sudden demand for black hats in England. a demand that would not have been felt s0 much in a season when black hats had been more generally worn. For- tunately for tife milliners who benefit- ed by this mourning perlod. hats can- not be dyed black, though frequently frocks can. It may be that when the mourning period Is finally at an end and the English court lays aside its last lingering black, a reaction will set in In favor of colored hats again. There seems to have been little disposition here to let British court mourning have anything to do with the color of our hats. Just at present there does appear a strong demand on the part of well dressed women to wear the black satin berets and other shapes, but this probably has nothing whatever to do with mourn- ing abroad. Next to <atin comes grosgrain in present favor and there Is very good reason to belleve that silks of vari- ous sorts—ribbons. too—wi.l be used extensively (n the making of Spring hats. Faille is also a very good selec- tion. Straws of a wide varfety con- tend with the silks for favor. There is ballibuntle and bangkok, and para- buntle, bengaline and pedaline, sangha, visca and milan—all Eorts of quee names that mean little to the la man. Then there are straws known | as Java, Madagascar, and of course | panama and Leghorn. Kioto is a new sort of straw, and umong the bralds Pyroxylin {s mentioned. One must be a milliner indeed to know the subtle differences between all these materials, and it wouldn't do to question most milliners too closely on the subject.

You see, Dan and I, we were exploring to try to find some way of saving the ship. And up in the forward hold we saw one of the ship's boats all rigged up. She had a mast lying beside her, so's it could be attached real easy, and covered up by a tarpaulin were a couple of chests of gold, some water barrels and other supplies.

Alonzo grunted—and uttered a bit- ter litttle laugh. “Maybe 1 am the one, then—would you say that?” “I will make no accusations—yet,” answered John. Brother John then adjourned the meeting, and the group went down to the hold to investigate the discovery of Dan and Bub. What Bub had told was borne out; in back of some pack- ing cases, so that it would not be seen in a cusual inspection of the hold, the boat was found. while al- ready two of the beams had been al- most cut through in the plan to saw through the hull of the vessel and make an escape.

The design of an airplane is as im- portant as any other jtem. Some aeronautical engineers put design ahead of nearly everything clse. Design has to do with the shape and construction. The famous Liberty motor, widely used in the United States in good fly- ing machines, carries about 500 pounds of letters in a United States malil plane, while an automobile maker uses a similar motor in a differently designed airplane carrying over 1,000 pounds of useful load. It used to be that six hours was excellent for a non-stop flight, but the same Liberty motor in & newly designed biplane (The * D.” for Charley Day, the de- signer, and Charles Dickinson, the maker) is sald to have a flying range of 4,000 miles, for nearly two full days of flying time! Thrse, four, five or more bamboo strips about 16 inches long and about 1-18 inch cross-section are used for the lengths. There may be three or more cross-braces, either of solid cut-out blocks from grape baskets or bamboo circlets—anything light, that will give the shape desired, is all right if the Wt‘lfihl is slight.

So if you copy a fish body for your airplane body, by this method of placing bam- boo’ strips, your result will be correct aeronautically, if the weight s not over 3-10 ounce for a 15-inch body, tissue paper covered. You might even copy the shape of a hitd's body—a hawk or a swallow, but n t a goose or a turkey—and see what airplane results you can get. Birds have good reputations as flyers, but some are better than others. The long bodies are better for our airplane purpose, since the rubber mo- tor is as powerful as its length will permit—the longer the motor the longer will be the flight. The rubber strands are twisted up into three dif- ferent rows of knots, by turning the propeller backwards; then the unwind- ing of the rubber makes the propeller twirl in the correct direction and pull the tiny airplane.
