WOMAN’S PAGE Material of fhe New Hats BY MARY MARSHALL. Among materials used in the mak- dng of lighter Summer hats are in- cluded Bangkok, paille d'Italie—Ital- fan straw—picot, paille alpaga, paille and of balloon contour are shown by many of these designers. But they e not generally becoming, and the iy well dressed woman knows that she gains nothing when she wears smart shapes that are unbecoming. Green hats are by no means passe. Many of the lighter shades of green, such as absinthe, are worn by well dressed women. Royal blue, sometimes trimmed with deep purple and sometimes with ochre yellow, is used effectively. The all-black hat is still a great favorite with the Pa. risian, though sometimes it is trim- med with one of the new shades of rose and sometimes with yellow. But trimming is used sparingly. Nothing is more effective than velvet ribbon used as a band and to make loops. TFlowers are used sometimes, but seldom lavishly. Feathers or osprey when used are almost always placed at the right side dropping down over the shoulder. RSt = S MENU FOR A DAY.

You are so big now that this isn't as likely as it was a little while ago. I advise you, however, not to take any chances. Now, one of the little Muskrats had wondered a great deal about Longlegs the Heron. He had seen Longlegs at a distance and had wondered how | this great big bird could keep so still for %o long a time. Once he had asked Mother Muskrat if Longlegs was asleep. “No,” replied Mother Muskrat, “he is fishing.” The little Muskrat said nothing, but he puzzled over it a great deal. He had seen Rattles the Kingfisher plunge into the water and come up with a little fish. He had seen little Joe Otter catch a fish by swimming. Fishing by keping still was a new idea, and he couldn't understand it at all. He grew more and more curious, every time he saw Longlegs the Heron standing on the edge of the Smiling Pool he would watch, and the |longer he watched the more his cu- | riosity grew. Two or three times | when Longlegs was at a distance he saw Longlegs strike out and down | swiftly, but he couldn't see just what { happened. | Finally, one evening, Longlegs came | | fiving up the Laughing Brook and | alighted only a short distance from where this little Muskrat was. There, as usual, he settled himself with his head drawn back on his shoulders; | and there he stood. motionless. It | | was getting dark and the little Musk- rat decided he would like to have a | closer look at Longlegs. “There’ll be ! arm in swimming over near > thought the little Muskrat. “I believe he is asleep, anyway.” So the little Muskrat swam over and presently floated in the water just in front of Longlegs and stared at him, most impolitely. Longlegs didn't move. The little Muskrat slowly pad- dled nearer and nearer and nearer. Suddenly and without warning Long- legs came to life. The little Muskrat dived frantically, but something sharp hit him and tore along his side. It was the big spear-iike bill of Long- 5.

He smarted and ached, and for many a day he would be very, very sore. inquired one who are (Copyright, 1926.) . Easy Cake Filling.

What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. Cancer. Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are neither favorable nor adverse, al- though between noon and 2 p.m. there will be sensed a feeling of depression which will induce an air of criticality and a trend to become peeved without rhyme or reason. Taken all in all, however, the day may be considered from an astrological viewpoint as col- orless, and there will be an entire ab- sence of everything that stimulates or encourages. With the prevalence of such influences, the only safe course is to confine your attention to the usual observances and customary recreations of a Sunday without en- deavoring to do anything that is ex- ceptional or that is a departure from the even tenor of your way. Children born tomorrow will be blessed with vigorous constitutions, and although they may not escape all the ailments to which infancy is gen- erally subject, their natural strength and well developed physical powers will enable them to very quickly over- come their transitory weaknesses. The signs denote that they will, without any serlous setbacks, attain a vigor- ous adulthood. their early years prove to be more evasive than frank, and in spite of their strength will not show that de- gree of courage that gladdens every parent’s heart. They, in order to counteract these idiosyncrasies, must not be coddled, but must be taught by stern measures when necessary that the good things of life are never ac- quired by evasiveness or by coward- ice, either moral or physical. It tomorrow is your birthday anni- versary, vou are kind, loving, tender and true. It is difficult to think of anything to say that could be more satisfactory or gratifying. You may lack what the work-a-day world calls vim, aggressiveness or self-assurance. You, however, realize that the great- est desideratum in this life is happi- ness. You have sought it and found it by molding your character along the lines indicated. You not only are happy vourself, but try to make all those around you happy. Your ideals and aims are high, and though they may not point the way to material success in any marked de- gree, as mere financial success has no attraction for you, you generally, by a quiet persistency and unfailing pa- tience, achieve that which you set out to accomplish, You are very demonstrative in your love, not only in actions but in words, and you render your family a devo- tion that is the envy of all those who know vou, and makes them look upon your home life us modelynd ideal. “puzz’wks Pussle Limericks Said a pig, with expression — “There’s a rumor, I'm sorry to —2—, That they'll soon —8— Into popular —-4-— A fountain pen!

I give my boy a glass of water, and he will drink it all befort starting to eat. 1 s him up, and he doesn't s s he should. I have had some arguments about this.” One doesn't have to search far for an answer to this. One has only to delve into one's own experiences. If a glass of water is taken before a meal, or much water taken with the meal, one cannot eat as much food. Water leaves the stomach rapidly, it is true, but for the time being the stomach is full and food is distasteful. When the water leaves the stomach, then the child, having had no nour- ishment, is hungry. It is far better to fill the stomach with food at meal times and leave the water drinking for between meals. a pertinent query, because this was Fancy crackers are not good for children, Reader, not because there Is any harm in the cracker itself, but because it spolls the child's appetite for other and more essential foods. The particular cracker you mention is j little worse than most, be- cause it is a mere sweet trifle, having only such nourishment as would come from the sweet filling. The child over 3 years has the same diet as his younger brother or sister, except that more varleties of the dif- ferent foods are allowed. Three meals a day (with a glass of milk, or bread and jelly, or fruit in the afternoon for the undernourished child)—cereal, milk, buttered toast and some fruit for breakfast; vegetables, an egg, or some meat, a simple dessert and milk for lunch, and vegetables, cereal and milk for the night meal.

For one thing she hadn't it in her heart to hear a grudge against her mother-in- law and if she had, it would have been impossible after seeing _the change in the older woman. Mrs. Morgan's militant air was gone, she seemed crushed and broken. On that | first afternoon when Jean had gone up to see her the two women had had a few minutes' conversation alone. Mrs. Morgan spoke visible effort. “Did Conrad tell you what T said?"” softly. “I suppose he wanted me to do it. I want you to know that I am sorry. Conrad told me I hadn't been kind to vou, and it's true, I haven't. I think it was because I made up my mind from the beginning not to like you. That was wrong, of course, and I regret it very much.” After that, Mrs. Morgan's attitude toward Jean had something of wistful and silent supplication in it. It was almost as if she said, “You have the power to take my boy away from me. HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. Styles change in kitchen arrange- ments as in everything else. Here is a new and smart kitchen that ex- presses the very acme of kitchen per- fection brought up to date. It kas tiled walls, shiningly clean and easily kept so. The suspended dish cupboards have glass doors and there are vesy high cupboards in which to store such nuisances as waffle frons, roasters, and so forth. The lower cupboards with their little double doors and drawers are easily kept in order. There is a metal canopy over the stove to catch steam and carry away cooking odors. This is hidden by the shaped wooden valance, which adds to the good appearance of the room as a whole.

She and Conrad had a | right to thefr own lives and even | though 1t was hard on Mrs. Morgan she must eventually be made to | understand this. | Two or three days passed during which time Conrad had written to | Aunt Betsy Red. He and Jean had decided not to say anything to Mrs. Morgan until they received an answer, but on the fifth day he re ceived a letter sent to the works and on the sixth day Mrs. Morgan re ceived a letter from Aunt Betsy which she read at the breakfast table. There was a strained expression in her eves and her hand trembled as she finally folded the letter and put it beside her plate. For a time she was thoughtful. Then at last she spoke. “That letter was from your Great Aunt Betsy. She wants me to join forces with her either here or at Els- ford. I've been thinking about it. and I don't think it's such a bad idea.” She paused, her keen old eyes sud denly wistful. It was as if she were giving them one chance to urge her not to go. Jean felt it, and her warm young heart was wrung with pity. Con felt it. and knew suddenly. heart-rendingly that in that brief time he was making his choice between his wife and mother.
