PAGE TWO ¢ TAKING THEIR TIME 0000000000000000000000000 ‘ The woman with the purple straw | hat spread her skirt a little more | widely, so that nobody could take the} seat next to her in the street car, and | then resumed conversation, “Some women are so queer,” she sald to her friend with the orange ! feathers, which stood up at least a | foot above her hat. “I could use stronger language than that, but I am | of a charitable nature and a.lwaysi willing to give people a chance. How- ever, that woman at the milliner’s was i the limit! i “I always go to Miss Cretonne for | my hats because she has style and s | cheaper than anyone else. She hasn't | a shop, you know, but does hats at home. So I dropped in on my way to the Ladles’ Ald meeting and ex- pected to be through in a jiffy. Some- body was in Miss Cretonne's office, 50 | she left me down outside in the hall and sald she'd be ready for me in a' short time | “The minute I heard the voice of the | creature who was in there, I knew ! what to expect. It was sort of drawly | and undecided, and it had an edge on it that meant, ‘I know you're waiting ' out there, but 1 got here first and | I'm going to take precisely as long as | I like! “Well, she made Miss Cretonne bring in, one by one, every hat she had in her sewing-room, and she didn't like any of them. One was too little | and another was too big. Finally she declded that she didn't want a black | Btraw, anyhow. She sald if Miss Cre- tonne was really up to date she'd have straws in the new Bulgarian colors, and, anyway, what ghe was Interested In was getting her old ecru straw re- trimmed. No, she didn’t want ribbon, and as for flowers, they were impos- sible, “Would Miss Cretonne please step | across the room and hold up the hat with that bunch of flowers pinned on? Couldn't she see 1t just killed the hat? Why, her cousin had just got back' from New York, and she sald nobody | there would be caught dead with flow- ers on her hat. No, she wouldn't have the new Numidl feathers. She was . sure they got those feathers off the heron or the robins at the nesting sea- gon, and, anyhow, if they were only ostrich, as Miss Cretonne said, it was painful to the birds when they were plucked. Hats were an awful trial, she said. Wouldn't it be lovely if it were the style not to wear any hats at all? “Here 1 coughed to remind the wo- man that I was on earth.

She never could bear feathers since she went to a funeral and sat behind a hat with sixteen ostrich plumes on it. Maybe it was only fifteen, but they looked like twenty. What did Miss Cretonne ' think of a plum color straw to wear with a green suit? Something a little bit different, wasn't it? The woman across the street from her had a plum | hat last year and she always had been crazy about it. | “Here 1 coughed again to convey delicately my conviction that if she wasn't crazy she was at least feeble- minded. Then she rather thought she might like a black hat, after all, and wished Miss Cretonne to get some shapes from the wholesale house. No, she hadn't any idea what shape she wanted—just something pretty and stylish and cheap and awfully good looking. She would dearly love some Bulgarian embroidery on it, but it was | 80 loud. She was afraid it would get : common. “Mercy, wasn’t it a warm day! | Really, she must send her fur coat ' down to storage. And whatever Miss | Cretonne did she should never, never i buy a fur of the man who had sold | that coat. Look how it had worn! “I coughed again and tapped my feet on the floor. At this she settled down more comfortably and sighed. | 8he was certain spring hats were go- ing to be the end of her. She did | wish that Miss Cretonne would decide | on some way to trim the ecru hat. Goodness, how her head ached! “It was fifty-five minutes by my watch before she came out of that office and she certainly looked her | part—selfish, unaccommodating, incon- | siderate, fat thing! 1 was so mad I “I suppose you got through in time for the ladies’ aid, anyhow,” said the woman with the orange feathers. “Sometimes,” admitted the woman, with the purple hat.

GGG SOFQERINS RIS ATRPOFOVFOT OO 08 COMFORT ON WASHING DAY Simple Device Does Away With the Constant Stooping That Is Pain- ful and Injurious. The busy housewife often complains of backache after washing day; this is, as a rule, not due to the washing of the clothes, but to the continual stooping down to the clothes-basket when putting out or gathering in the clothes. This disagreeable pain could be saved by simply tying the basket to an old small table with four legs, |; the basket could be nailed down, but| if tled it could then be used without the legs by simply untying the string | at both sides, | The strings will easily threml, through the wicker of the basket, and a hook could be screwed at each side | of the table and the string attached; it can be carried about quite easily, and no stooping whatever need be done. If no small table 18 avallable, the handy man can make supports on the basket itself; this is done as fol- lows: On the bottom fix two pleces of wood, one at each side; at each end of the wood fix bamboo rods, all | of equal size, of course. This will make four legs, and answers exactly the same purpose as the table. Bamboo rods may be bought at most hardware stores for very lit- tle; one rod would make two legs, so that the cost is very trivial; the rods are very strong and firm. This is such a simple plan, but the housewife will be delighted it she tries it, and NEEDLEWORK NOTES New American patchwork designs To be strictly fashionable silk or Loosely woven ramie linens are { FOCHDGGBDOEDD FIHIGOBI I 00, oG 1 = - = = 2 =p) & = e s (@ We can save you moncy on Wagons.
