Pine ostrich feathers and aigrets were inimitable. If you spent but $6 or $7 for a hat you simply had to get along without them. If you spent $30 or $40 for a hat the fact was patent to all eyes by the luxuriousness of its trim- ming. Fortunately, unfortunately, the difference is far less obyious nowadays. or “|1f & well dressed woman wears a hat that entirely suits her costume only the most discerning . observer knows whether it cost much or little. To be sure, much time and thought have to be spent to find just the right hat from among the hundreds of inexpensive ones that are spread before us. And once having become accustomed to the superior quality of expensive hats it is ‘tmely difficult to cortent oneself with the more ordinary sort. ‘The hat in the sketch shows the new combination of felt with linen—a type of hat that has thus far not appeared in really inexpensive versions. The felt is extremely light and soft and the line of lighter ilnen that frames the face adds enormously to its becomingness.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. ‘There are persons who feel that a recessed window mars a room because of the irregularity it causes, but in reality 1t lends individuality and should, therefore, be welcomed. With a little ingenuity the recessed win- dow may become one of the most im- portant parts of the room—next, of course, the fireplace, which has never retreated in favor of any other item of architecture. In the illustration is shown an at- L] i 0 [CE T HEdl] tractively treated recessed window. Because the view from the windows is 8 delightful bit of rolling country there have been no glass curtains.

But before I knew it the hed won all my marbles and I ?nom‘m. left but un(rs. nlx had been play- g for keeps, not for fun.

She plays that job for fun, and soon finds that they don't want her in the game any more than boys wanted me when I refused to play Lfor keeps. We ought to play seriously when it comes to the game of hearts. If you think you can win a man's heart and then give it back to him at the end of the game, you aren’t playing for keeps at all. When you get that heart, you ought to want to keep it. Lots of girls throw their hearts into the ring the way I did with my mar- bles when I didn’t know what the game was like. They may not flirt in the cheap sense of that term, but they do give the impression that they expect to get the heart back after the man has shot it out of the ring and wants to put it into his pocket. You can’t blame him if he accuses you of playing for fun. Marriage is a ring where the hearts should keep out unless they are willing to stay wedded. Engagements can be broken with honor, but it isn’t the same with marriage. A wedding ring which is broken and soldered up again by some other man is an ugly looking thing. A marble which has been in more than one game and is all knicked up is no beauty. We live in a sporty age, where people 7\7 through the motions of love and the forms of marriage without realizing that they should play these old games for keeps.

Dainty Ear Lobes. ‘There was a time when. milady’s ears | were always so completely concealed that the question of their beauty re- ceived little attention. But today, when many of the smartest coiffures expose | the lobes of the ears, another problem has been added to milady's beauty pro- 8T ‘Just what is a beautiful ear?” The answer is that a shapely ear which is a | dainty shell pink is the ideal for a woman. One might think that the pearance of the ears is, after all, a m: ter scarcely worth special attention. But there are many women whose only real claim to beauty is a dainty pair of ears, and realizing this fact and making the most of this one feature has' been the means of changing what might have been an ugly duckling into a really attractive girl or woman. A woman may have a pretty, girlish face, but if she has been careless about her ears they often present a pale, flab- by, wrinkled appearance which contra- dicts all the youthfulness shown in her face. There are many who go so far as to say they can judge a woman's age by looking at her ears. 1If the ears have a pale, parched look they should be massaged with a good cream. Before the massage s the skin slightly by holding over it a cloth wrung out in hot water. When using the cream, massage with & gentle cir- cular motion all around the base of the ear, and then go from the angle to the jaw up to the outer corner of the eye. After wn;;cm; off the cream pat on some skin tonic. In applying make-up and powder to the face milady should not neglect the ear lobes. Sometimes a little pink pow- der or even the faintest touch of rouge on the lobe of the ear adds just the right touch. This treatment is espe- clally desirable when earrings are worn, because such ornamentation naturally draws_attention to the ears and they must be made to look their very best. Letitia: Apply a little cold cream to your lips before going out of doors and you keep them from becoming chapped and rough in appearance. Yes, many lip rouges have a creamy base which is beneficial to lips such as yours. Remember, however, that make-up for the lips must be applied very carefully My Neighbor Says: ‘When upholstered furniture be- comes worn and shabby, slip- covers of gray cretonne or chintz will give it the appearance of new furniture.

Wring out a turkish face cloth in hot | water and hold it over the ears, press- ing the hot cloth inside the ear. After two or three hot applications cover the tips of your fingers with sterilize gauze or absorbent gotwn and press out the blackheads. Bathe again in warm water to which one teaspbonful of boric acid has been added. the ears thor- oughly with a soft cloth and apply a little zinc ointment or boracic salve. In time you will be free of blackheads in the ears, but remember to wash and dry your ears thoroughly, using a little friction. LOIS LEEDS. Mr. T.

If the bride is fortunate enough to possess a lace veil she is sure to wear it, but the simple tulle veil is always the most becoming. The latest idea is to have it dyed the exact tone of the satin which has been chosen as the most becoming to the bride. The more simply it is arranged the better. A cap of tulle dr lace may be made and to this the veil is attached. An- 4 of orange blossoms in coronet fashion. Clusters of orange blossoms nestle against the ears. The bride's slippers are very often made of the satin of her gown. Other. wise they are dyed exactly to match. ‘The opera pump is invariably chosen and a pearl buckle or orange ornament is the only trimming. An- other new idea is to have the cob- v;lebby stockings also dyed to match the shoes. Long gloves will be worn by the bride unless her sleeves are full length, and here again they must match exactly. The bridesmaids’ gloves are of the pale pastel of e: tone the frock.

I know the marsh where the first red-winged blackbirds sparkle amid the iruins of the cat-tail turrets, the rusted blades and lances of their leaves. I know their most particular and intimate song with which they greet each other as they make a way through the track- less paths of the marsh and the sky and the water plants, I hear them tumbling their notes out like bright stones plopping musically out of a bottle. I know the hill and hollow where the leaves of onion grass are suddenly and greening up. I know the wind that goes to the male flowers, seeking their pollen, whispering for it; that goes to the lonely, small hazel bush that is older and harder than it looks; to the bursting sacks of the junipers dotted thick as abandoned farms on the hills; to the pussy willow, the mnglxe' and alder and elm. ‘The first day of Spring comes when you want it to. It came when you had Spring fever; it came when you got out your straw hat; it came on St. Patrick's day; it came on Easter; it came when Jenny kissed you. It came like an army in the night—Ilake an invisible army that left you still belleving in Winter. It came in the ringing laughter of the blackbird, and the moment when the glder dangled its catkins in your eyes and yet you never saw them. Tt is here already, unlocking the doors and throw- ing open the windows, airing out the stufty apartments of Winter, whose \lease has expired. | 1 FEATURES. Psychic Adventures of Noted Men and Women Life-Saving Dream. Susan B. Anthony’s BY J. P. “HE SAID GOOD-BY CORRIDOR. IT Perhaps the instantaneous success that greeted Evangeline Adams, the astrologer, when she removed from Boston to New York, was due to an incident that occurred on her first night in the metropolis. She stopped at the Windsor Hotel. The proprietor, a Mr. Leland, himself showed her to a suite and, when she | i had decided to take i, read his horoscope.
