Ome of tier's most stunning creations e of white tulle. The tulle i= g a wire frame which is somewhat on the turban order. “Che en- tire frame, from the rolling brim to the the crown, is literally covered m beads. At the most the pearly things are not more than an inch apart, 80 the effect is quite smart. As the hat rests on the head at an angle, as most of them do, by the way, all the trimming is on one Rising out of the brim is the softest, whitest feather pompon and from the center of that feathery ball are & myriad of leafy aigrettes. These all bow low over the rim and partially meet an immense pearl caption whose Guty. it is to hold nine strands of pearls in place. These ropeé are loose and fall over the heir, until they are gathered in place zgain by another caption. The second strands are longer than the first, falling almost to the nape of the neck when they are rescued again and finally held firmly the third and last caption.” To say that it is @ dream would be putting it lightly. The only trouble with it is that it requires a stunning frock and a swell occasion to set it off. Otherwise it would look extremely out of place, and that, in hats, i almost the most unfortunate thing that could happen. ing means Epends the that wher welght bonn. Another lovely thing is made of & pale pink. The crown is lifted so that the hat is raised off the head and the facing shows, as much if not more, than the crown. The facing of this hat, by the way, is of pink satin ribbon. Instead of running lengthwise of the ribbon it is put on in exactly the opposite way. Each piece shows just where it is ended, but it is lapped over the next one so much that it looks like tiers of ribbon. Running around the brim and peeping over a little sre hundreds of white and pink apple blossoms. The entire crown is covered with a pink chiffon drape’ Around t edge of the drape are three rows of tiny silk Jace and this lace seems to try its best to cover up the apple blossoms and to get just a little farther over the brim than they are. The chiffon is lald over the hat gently and the ends fall down the back in a perfect cloud. A dainty buckle completes the hat, which is worthy of Esther Myers' shop. Another beautiful evening hat is made of blue tulle. The frame is round, but it is bent on one side to tilt a little over an car. There are rows and rows of pleated tulle, and in fact that comprises the top of the hat. The facing is cream lace and wanders about to the back and is lost in a4 huge cream rosette. In the center of the lace and directly in the center of the hat is a blue rosette and a large pearl capsion is the center of it all. It is most peculiar-looking, but mighty smart. The lace on such a hat is an item in itself, as It shows to such advantage against the Lair. Don't try to buy it unless your ALL IT AV 2= ?ocket book is bulging, for some Parls iats come higher than others, and this is one that is merely lookatable. Do you happen to know that linen hats are to be all the rage? If you do not, you are distinctly behind the times. The linen girl had to scurry about last summer and make a head covering that would look suitable to wear with such a gown, but this summer even that has been provided her. Of course the entire hat is not linen, The crown has a fold of linen and a fold of soft blue and white wash ribbon. The brim is folded white chiffon and here and MOy there about 1t are wreaths of cream lace and blu appliqued on.

Cox There is always a go-between hat. A something to wear with a silk frock, for instance. While black and white is worn comparatively littie together, it is com- bined to advantage sometimes.

This is but the form of the fifteenth century thought—the only way in which her rev- elation could be known to men. Certalnly at this date we can distinguish the divine truth that spoke through her, from the peculiar form in which it had to find ex- pression. It Is unnecessary to speak of her martyrdom. Her work was finished; she sealed it with her life, a sacrifice to hate end cowardice, ever present in the world. Patriotism and humanity are the lessons from the life and character of Joan of Arc. Women of America in the twentieth century are not called upon to lead armies against a conquering invader. The ene- mies of American life are within; the evils of our time—frivolity, intemperance, {mmorality—are foes more deadly than in- vading armies, because {nsidious. Is it not patriotism to maintain the force, the simplicity, the earncst devotion to truth and right that id the past have been the foundation of American greatness? Is it not humanity to save faen from their evil ways, to preserve soundness of character? Amerfean women must share with men the duty of maintaining our national vir- tues. Share with men the duty. Joan of Arc did not seek to organize a regiment of women. She placed herself with men, at their head, sharing their life, yet never losing womanliness. This then, in brief, is the lesson—pat- riotism and humanity, devotion to main- taining the noblest elements of American character—not by separate effort of wo- men apart from men, but by co-operative, fraternal service. » \
