Or you may trim your Panama with a slightly wider band of pique tied in a small, flat bow at the back. A strip of black, brown or navy blue grosgrain ribbon may be tied at the back, with & small feather thrust through where the knot is tied. A de- cidedly smart effect is gained by a nar- row band of black patent leather. This is appropriate when a black patent leather belt is worn on the dress or suit. One advantage of the Panama hat as part of your vacation wardrobe is that it may be packed so easily. Sim- ply fold the hat flat with a crease through the top of the crown and lay it in your trunk or travel bag, and no harm will be done. Anx T tage is that it can be cleaned often as you like with good results. Excep- tionally good Panamas are, to be sure, quite expensive, but we have recently seen worth-while hats sold for some- what less than $10.

New Styles in Woods AK furniture, particularly in the seventeenth century English styles, 1s destined to make the most decisive advance in popular favor during the Summer and Fall of 1931. Early American, furniture, manufac- turers believe, may still rémain the leading style in volume of sales, but it is either now at its peak or has passed that point and is declining in popular- ity. In bed room furniture, especially, a trend away from the colonial styles is forecast. French provincial is due to remain a favorite; ~the ever-popular English Georgian styles have a strong following. Queen Anne, French Empire and Di rectoire are holding up well, and the market for contemporary furniture, while still small, is growing. Of seventeenth century lish de- signs, one of the largest furniture manufactureYs says: “Por the coming season, we expect to | feature suites with the old lish in- fluence. This period will predominate SUMMERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. The dragon flies that with the first warm days of early Summer so myste- riously appear over every pond and in every suburban garden always seem to me like the armored knights of the air. All insects, of course, wear an external | skeleton (they have mo internal one) made out of the marvelous substance called chitin, but chitin can be as soft as the spider's web (indeed, the web, like the silkworm’s silk, is chitin) or as hard as the prongs on some of the tropical beetles’ backs. The fact that the dragon flies are our largest insects and their joints numer- | ous may account for their appearance | of being clad in chain mail. They seem to move with a clash of greaves, & creaking of steel joints. Even their | wings have a mechanical, stiff, en- ameled look. And yet the dragon flies are powerful, easy and graceful flyers, due doubtless to the fact that, like butterflies, they have four wings instead of the paltry two of birds, flies and air- planes. I never met a country person who didn't intensely fear a dragon fly. The long ovipositor in the tail of the female is supposed to be a sting, and the mere. size of dragon flles terrifies many women. But dragon flies neither bite nor string. They eat gnats and mos- quitoes in their larval stages (which are passed under water), and in their adult | stage they occupy themselves entirely with courtship ‘and mating, and very like a fete of gally dressed mobles in old gardens of Versallles they look as they flee and pursue or fight for the favors of a particularly charming dro- goness fly. For many days the dragon flies will ‘be given up apparently to no other oc- cupation than the tender passion, The weather never gets too hot for them. ‘They never tire of their game of senti- mental tag. And then one day abruptly they will be gone and the jade surface of the ponds will know them no longer. Only a discriminating eye may dis- cover the female driving her eggs into the mud with the regularity of a rivet- ing machine. That done, her useful- nes:e complete, she will die like her | mate. .

Bookcases of all kinds, but particularly the pier type, are reported to be popular.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Lois and Nancy had attended a class in first aid during the past Winter. It was while there that they had learned to make a bed so called “hospital fash- jon.” There are two advantages to a bed made in this way—the bed has a neat appearance, especially when extra covers and spreads are dispensed with, a3 is frequently done in the Summer; and then, too, the sheets stay in place 50 that a person who thrashes about the bed does not disarrange the bed- ding and lie uncovered the greater part of the night. “Tuck in the sheet at both bottom and top, drlwmg'n yery corner of the sheet around the corner of the mattress to the sides of the bed, pulling the side part of the sheet up on to the top of the mattress out of the way, to stay there until the corner is mitered. Turn the tuck-in part of the corner | under the side of the mattress, as shown in Figure No. 2. the sheet which was placed on top of the mattress to rl it out of the way. Let it fail over the edge, as shown in Figure 3.

The backs of the first six segmehts are trimmed in bluye and the last six wre trimmed in red. hm:.lru body 15 outlined in tufts of yellow afr. . In July the caterpillar is full grown. Her favorite food includes apple, oak, some of the lindens, birches, aspens and willow leaves. Great hordes of these hun; ones climb over the trees and soon oliate them. Now it is time for another change or growth in the life cycle of the gyDSY | the moth. The caterpillars turn a deep chestnit brown. With great care and precision they fasten themselves to the tree trunk by threads of silk. In 10 days the occupant of a case walks out s full-grown moth. The young men of the family step out first. They fly about in a zig-zag manner, as though so0 delighted to fly. instead of crawling. The lles take their wings as a matter of course. This may be due to the fact they are larger than the males and feel superior. The gentlemen are all bru- nettes and the ladies blonds. ‘The marriage takes place soon after “and 6 p.m. feedings and vegetables and | the coming-out party. The mother then devotes herself.to looking for a suitable place to tuck away her 400 eggs. A snug home is built for the long Winter months. ‘Then she dies. In 1868 the gypsy moth was intro- duced by accident into Medford, Mass. In 1890 she had increased the size of her family to such an extent that steps had to be taken to get rid of her. There were 93.000,000 enemies of the gypsy moth and the brown-tail moth brought to this country and turned loose. While this seems to be a surprising number of enemies to ht, the gypsy moth has been very difficult to conquer. How- ever, we are now getting the best of this determined invader. Fried Cornmeal Mush. Add one tablespoonful of salt to two cupfuls of cornmeal and mix thoroughly with two cupfuls of cold water. Put four cupfuls of boili water in the upper part of a double boiler, place over the fire and add the cornmeal mixture slowly, stirring constantly. Cover and steam over boiling water for about three hours. Put some of this left-over mush into a dish and smooth it over the top. When cold cut it into slices half an inch thick.

FEATURES, MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LoIis ‘Whitening the Neck. an enthuslastic return is milady’s clothes, for costumes of all fabrics from all- over laces of gossamer fineness to sturdy linens and Summer woolens. The vogue for white makes it all the more important to have a clear com- plexion and a white throat. Necks, of course, are naturally different in tex- ture and slightly darker in color than faces, but they must be kept as fair an as possible when light- colored clothes are worn. Sallow necks look dingler when frocks of white or pastel shades are worn. ‘There are bleaching packs and lotions for lightening the shade of the skin on the neck. One of the simplest of these is the egg and honey pack. The beaten white of an egg mixed with one ounce of honey is added to three ounces of Eound barley or corn meal. The skin prepared in the usual way—that is, it is given a thorough cleansing first with cleansing cream, then with soap and water. The paste is spread on and cov- ered with l&rlfi of cheesecloth or gause. After 20 or minutes the strips are removed and the skin is washed, dried Such a treatment may be given two or three times & week for the first month, then once a week or less often. For the firm, youthful neck that is sallow and not wrinkled nothing is bet- ter than stimulation by scrubbing and rubbing. Once 8 day the skin should be scrubbed with a complexion brush and plenty of soap and water. rinsing rub with a piece of ice wrapped in a soft cloth. YOUR BABY Cereals. The hours at which certain foods are | given, baby are dictated by custom. Ceteal 15 usually given with the 10 a.m. | | e8g yolk with the 2 pm. meal. The | |2 p.m. meal eventually becomes the 12 | o'clock noon meal, when vegetaoles and eq_h:r meat are properly served. re are no hard and fast rules | regulating the hour when each food | must be served. This answers the query of Mrs. F. L. F., who wants to know why I suggest egg at 2 p.m. Her baby is given egg at 10 am., an equally sat- isfactory hour if she finds it a more convenient one. A good many things in Mrs. F. L. P.’s routine could, however, be changed to advantage. As she has asked me to criticize her schedule, I am :olnfi to do 50 for her benefit and for all the rest of my readers who may be making sim- ilar mistakes. Mrs. F. L. F. writes that her baby was premature, weighing a little over 5 pounds and now,- at 8 months old, ‘weighs 25, a truly enormous gain in weight. Here is the way he is fed: 6 am., bottle. 9 am., orange juice. 10 two-minute coddled egg and | bottle. 2 p.m., one-half cupful soup and two tablespoonfuls of vegetables. 3 p.m., bottle. 6 to 6:30 p.m., vegetable and bottle. The baby is in bed at 7. The for- mula is 25 ounces of milk, 10 of water and 7 tablespoonfuls of malt sugar. She wants to know when she shall the sugar and when the baby can get plain whole milk, It is desirable for a baby to get cereal at two meals. Cereal is far preferable to such quantities of sugar as Mrs. P. L. P. is giving, about twice as much as is usually ad . Cereal and malt sugar are carbohydrates, but the cereal, being a solid food, and starch instead of sugar, is preferable at this age. So the first change I would make is to give cereal with the bottle formula | at 10 am. and 6 p.m. and give the egg and vegetable feeding at 2 pm. All solid foods should be fetl at exactly the same as the milk. No time should | elapse between them. as you are doing, | Mrs. F. L.
