A WASHINGTON the woman with a long neck ought never to wear a hat that is narrow at the back. But the best way to know what sort of hats are most becoming to you personally is to try a varlety of different hats on, studying them from then, noting which hats side of the ribbon at the sides of the hat in front do the trick. So even if you have chosen a hat that proves not quite all expected of you, you not be dis- couraged. With the help of your mil- liner you may be able to add the essen- tial bit of trimming, here, there or somewhere else. The sketch shows one of the new the | French hats with neat small bows clev- erly arranged at each side of the brim in front—such a simple trick, yet one that may help to make your own hat entirely satisfactory.

If crocuses were rare, we would gladly pay orchid prices for them—or the price of lily bulbs, at least. I have never been able to see why either rarity or cost made a flower more beautiful. Why isn't it, after all, as beautiful as it looks? I wouldn't give 5 cents for & begonia, if it were as rare as moon- rainbows (a matter of taste, I admit), but I would, if florists ral the price of crocus bulbs, dig down my gar- dening jeans and surrender what was asked. For the crocus, as a rule, is the | real harbinger of Spring, and not the native plant that bears that unearned name and leisurely consents to & pal- lid bloom late in April. If we had to wait for native m to cheer our color-hungry eyes, nlmuld now be btdly off, indeed. B\lt the jocund erocus to us from those laughing Med.lmrtnoln lands where Spring routs Winter in February. 8o, indeed, do almost all our garden Spring bulbs, ‘There are four great centers of Spring-flowering bulbous flora, and, in order of importance, they are the Mediterranean basin, South Africa, the desert coast of Chile, and Southwestern California. But the honors go to the shores of Homer's “wine dark sea” that gives us the crocus in all its frail galety. Our Spi crocus is not the saffron crocus 80 rich in legend, for that is a larger, Autumn-flowering specles, dif- ferent, once again, from the “Autumn crocus” which is no crocus at all. But of all crocuses (or must we croci?), it remains the favorite. Nof g has ever been offered to the gardener that can, in its season, hold a candle to crocuses. We never can get too many of them. Nobody ever got tired of crocuses. Nothing but our pocketbooks prevents us from giving them more space. Un- fortunately, cost enters in heavily, es- pecially since the life of a crocus bulb is short in our damp climate. The crocus longs for its dry, hot springs. Rather I should say that the crocuses do so, for the different sizes and colors represent different species. The lllac and white varieties come from the Riviera; the “Cloth of Gold” variety s a native of the Crimea; the pur- , feather-veined sort are also Ri- and there are other specles Geece and Italy. famous are the crocus fields of Island of Corfu, off the western . | coast of Greece, that many garden lov- ers have made the arduous trip there just to see and worship where, says Homer, “the flaming crocus makes the mountains glow.” The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD, Who started her career as a mnmwauuermmfl the highest paid business women in Are Women Free?

GUNN. “Like a Green Bay Tree.” “I have seen the wicked in great power and spreading himself like & green bay tree.”—Ps. xxxvil.35. Here is a strange thing, that in God's world the wicked should be permitted to have and hold such great ; No, I can’t explain it. For & ful derstanding of this mystery we must wait. The phrase “in great power” means | “to be formidable” or “to cause terror.” “I have seen the wicked to be formi- dable and to cause terror.” Here is a foe to test our steel, to our cour- age, to challenge our faith. uires men of faith and courage and wi temper of steel to contend with such a furmldlhle and terror- det“n! foe. “spreading himself,” means “to make bare passage might be rendered seen the wlcled behavi faced audacity.” With what barefaced audacity evil- @en today are flaunting both the Jaws“of God and the laws of man! What little regard some have for the tried and long-established rules of moral conduct and behavior! Old standards are sneered at and cast aside. Indeed, many seem to pride themselves on their bold deflance of all those de- cencles which respectabllity in soclety has hithert ired. the! e wicked flourish themselves, ‘There is none of this vain ngreadlnu of one's self on the part of those who have been transplanted into the soil of God's grace and wisdom. “Like a green bay tree.” ‘“Green.” But not green always. Not always will life be green for the wicked man. After a while his greenness will be turned into a yellow tint.

It is, of course, an injunction to those who would examine gifts too closely. For a long while we have doubted the of the maxim, however. It is better to look a gift horse in the mouth than to have him kick an innocent by- stander or bite the hand of some one feeding him. In other words, look out lest that which is free is also costly.
