Hats of She of Coquettish Glance Are Appealing in Small Shapes They Have Narrow Brim Rolled Closely Against Moder- ately High-Rounded Crown—Covered ‘With Sat- in-Draped Turbans Are Numerous. Hats of the Manet epoch—day of the “lass with the delicate air” and the demurely coquettish glance—are “among the appealing small shapes in- troduced for early autumn. These chapeaux of the narrow brim, rolled a moderately high- rounded crown, oftenest seen covered with satin and trimmed sparsely albeit not always in strictly Manet style. One fetching creation in black carries an exceptionally tall double fantasie whose roots project down- ward from either side of the crown’s apex, but at its extreme back, and whose ends are crossed at half their length. Slender and short twin fan- tasies, root crossed at the front-cen- ter base of the crown and projecting over the brim’s low sides, lend a feathery, intangible softness to the hat's sides. The Manect Chapeau Elaborate. Thus treated, the Manet is more elaborate than it ever previously has been. Because it has proved itself worthy of exquisite garnishings, it may confidently be expected to appear later in tones matching really elabor- ate afternoon costumes. The model deseribed is excellent in all white and is precisely the chapeau needed to re- place the one in straw or chip earlier provided to accompany the church- going costume. Nevertheless, it will be useful for many occasions and will certainly be seen at various open-air events this autumn with another mecederately high-crowned small shape. The brim of the latter hat, how- ever, is a trifle wider and it does not roll all round. One side, the left, only is turned upward flatly. The other side is as flatly depressed. Nothing coquettish about this shape. It is posed evenly and owes all of its style to the severity of its air and the piacing of its trimmings. Decidedly military looking are those trimmings and as simply posed as a cockade. One Lewis model in white beaver is faced with blue velvet and carries against its crown’s front center the tallest of pheasant fantasies. White Beavers Are Plentiful, White beavers are as plentiful just now as are satin-covered hats and equally light of weight. For.all of the néw felts are fine and flexible as any in woven fabric, and in the white or pale tones are eagerly .purchased since it has become generally known that they can be easily cleaned. To these shapes the soft breast | feathers of pheasants and doves : seem better adapted than are stiff wings. At the same time, a number of wings are being used as well as interrogation mark-tipped coque quills. The latter usually apear in pairs, frequently posed to point dia- gonally in opposite directions. Iridescent cherries enliven many an autumn hat. Contrasted with either a light or a dark tone they are wonderfully effective. A good ex- ample of their decorative value is seen in a French model in black vel- vet. This hat, one of the various plays upon the Watteau, has a mod- erately wide brim faced with black satin, close rolled against a low érown, cross trimmed with diago- nally posting coque quills rooted un- der a mass of iridescent cherries. Correctly posed far toward the left, this shape covers that side of the closely against are ! of its rather low rounded crown, head and almost wholly exposes the KEENEY’'S WEEK OF AUGUST 10.

Natu- rally they would appear. in numbers at this time, since they are essential- ly the hat for this intermediate sea- son. The drapings in silk, satin . or velvet come softly about the brow, indefinitely suggest the shape of the brim and are massed high at the left side, rather toward the back of the head, unless, as often happens, the upstanding effect is produced with a fluffy fantaisie. In all black the draped turban is at its happiest, and | it is the cherished stand-by just now among between-time hats. Toques are fashionable. wonder, too, for they are chic degree, these creations in silken fabrics. Unlike the turbans, the close-fitting, brimless shapes are not draped. Their trimmings run chiefly to ribbons applied in clustered loops or in bows, a type of garnishing un- usual to toques. Dove Gay Trimmings on Toques. Violet, trat tone which so well ac- cords with gowns or suits in white, black or the now very fashionable dove gray, is the shade selected for the satin covering of a new small toque of large head-size which fits low on the brow and far down at the back. Nevertheless this hat has the appearance of size, because to the top of its crown and drooping as well as standing out from it are sev- eral good-sized bows in rose-colored satin ribbon. Large hats are becoming more and more fashionable and numbers of them will be worn everywhere a lit- tle later in the autumn. Spanish shapes continue to be popular, for the very excellent reason that they may be tilted to a becoming angle and their brims bent to shade the face or to show off its best features. Akin to the toreadors, sombreros and canotiers is a new large shape whose brim, high-flaring at the left side, curves gracefully outward at its rim. A bandeau which distinctly shows across the front, but is widest at the left side and narrowest at the right, gives the shape a tilt of ex- treme angle. Oddly enough, the model, while likely to be embarrass- ing to any face over ‘thirty years of age, 158 not of outre appearance.

MISS SKIRVIN IN BIG FOX PICTURE As previously mentioned in these columns Fox’s theater will show none but the greatest stars in their biggest successes taken before the camera, and it has turned from a dream to a reality. Contracts have been drawn with the Shuberts, famous players, Lasky and the balance of the biggest photo-drama manufacturers in the country and commencing with next week one of these great masterpieces will be shown each day. Probably one of the big features that will in- terest the New Britain theatergoing public the most, is the announcement that Miss Margaret Skirvin, their favorite actress, will be seen on the screen in the one and only motion picture production in which she ap- peared and in that which she sup- ported Arncld Daly in “The Port of Missing Men.” This gpecial attraction is booked to appear at Fox’s theater two days, Wednesday and Thursday, August 19 and 20. For today, a gigantic and diversi- fied photo-drama program has been arranged, which is made up of an HBclectic feature the same concern that releases the “'Perils of Pauline” series, called “Leaves of Memory,” in four thrilling parts. The intense thrills and the wonderful photography in this feature gives it a quality en- tirely lacking in many others. The aeroplane scene and the wild drop from the clouds in a broken parachute are very realistic. The four other photo-plays are “Through Life's Win- dow,” a Vitagraph domestic drama with a punch, “Topsy-Turvy Sweedy," an Essanay roaring comedy, “Typical Russian Dancing,” and “The Coun- terfeiters.” A False Standard of Culture has gained ground in this century which looks upon the bearing and rearing of children as something coarse and vulgar and to be avoided, but the advent of KEugenics means much for the motherhood of the race. Happy is the wife who, though weak | and ailing, depends upon Lydia . Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to restore her to health, and when head- aches and backaches are a thing of the past, brave sons and fair daugh- ters rise up and call her blessed. Aavt. The extensive alterations that have been going on in Miss Ryan's shop, 79 Pratt street, Hartford, have delayed her a little, but she will show today on the first floor some very smart new models in suits and street dresses. Every woman who likes to be” well informed in dress will want to see them. Advt. NEwW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1914.

There are so many uses for sour milk in cookery that the sour milk jar will be found a great convenience, delicious. Chop the boiled or roast chicken very fine. To one cupful of this add a quarter cupful of blanched fine. Season with salt and paprika and soften with sweet cream to a paste, then spread on graham or white bread cut very thin. When painting the ceiling or any high place, the paint is apt to run down the handle of the brush. To prevent this, cut in half a large rub- ber ball, make a hole through the middle of this and push the handle of the brush through it, leaving the cup side toward the brush and shoving the ball up as near the brush as it will go. It is not a bad idea for the house- wife to have in each room of her house a piece of unfinished sewing or knitting. This may be gracefully done by making a pretty little work- bag, which can be hung on the back of a chair, the corner of the bookcase or mantelpiece in each room. This {s convenient and at the same time | adds a pretty touch of color to the room, To prevent moths from getting into a trunk or chest where clothing 18 packed, place a two-ounce bottle of chloroform in the trunk or chest, fasten the cork of the bottle in firm- 1y, but puncture in two or three places to allow the fumes to escape. This will not only protect the clothing from moths, but it will kill the eggs with- out injuring the fabric, The salt rub is a fine thing when fatigued. Put a few pounds of coarse salt, sea salt by preference, in an earthen jar, then pour enough water on it to produce a sort of slush, but not enough to dissolve the salt. This should be taken up in handfuls and rubbed briskly over the entire person. Then take a thorough douching of clear water, preferably cold, and a brisk rubbing with a dry towel.

Naturally I am strongly inclined to optimism, but when I rul up against one of these ultra fashionable optimists I find myself inclini; toward pessimism. For instance, in the presence of one of them, who carefully preserved, flawless cheerfulness somehow reminds me of a pi and white enamel complexion, I happened to remark one day (after week of drizzle, fogs, cold winds and general gloom) that the people wi had taken their vacation at that time must be disappointed with the m erable weather, and that 1 myself was much depressed by it “Why, yesterday was a lovely hours of equivocal sunshine) “It day,” hasn’t rained hard but once or she said (we had had a f You must look on the bright side.” I longed to sa miserable weathe: . “Don’t be foolish; you know perfectly well it has But denied this pleasure by the rules of polite soc I took refuge in being just as pessimistic as I liked, which was a good di more so than I would otherwise have been. Another variety of optimists who induce pessimism in those who to live with them are those whose optimism runs wild and makes them o fuse hopes with possibilities. It's all very well to hope that the thing want won't cost more than you can afford, but when an optimist takes a hope as a basis of action he needs a pessimist nearby to put the curb An unreasoning optimism makes a good moral for a sermon, or for a story, but in real life it ought to be mixed with enough con sense to keep its feet on the ground. e Daily Fashion Tz BY MAY; MANTON 8346 Cape for Misses and Small 'omen, One Size, 16 or 18 years, PERFORATED FOR SHORTER LENGTH.
