If every woman in the country ‘woukt wear a sunbonpet, or a farm- ers hat of rough strew, milliners’ (rice@ would act like the temperatures woman to whom a broad-brimmed hat is becoming. So why shouldn't she invest in a real “Rube” straw hat?—they used to cost the large sum of 25 cents. Even in these days of altitudinous prices, such a hat must be procurable for $1 or $2. If you can’t find it in New York, write to your country cousins and fet them mafl you one from Simpkins Four Corners. The only trimming you need give it is one of those wreaths of mixed flowers which are in every depart- ment store thts year. For $2—less, in some places—you can buy a wreath of poppies, daisies and grasses which bas a delightful “summery” suggestion, and which is just the thing to put around the crown of your farmerette hat. Or perhaps you have in the house a scarf from some worn-out Panama, which will do ser- vice for another season after clean- ing and pressing. Either a sunbonnet or a “Rube” straw hat will serve the two r= poses of summer millinery—it will, be pretty, and it will protect the face from the sun. ‘ere are three simple economy hi World by Miss Bernice Dewey of the ts, posed speci ly for The Evening 'Florodora’ company and Miss Grace Black.

A pink-checked, pretty young per- son never looks prettier than when her face is framed in the scoop of an old-fashioned sunbonnet, Ask granddad—he knows! Even “court- ing bonnets” were cut on the sun- bonnet pattern in his young days, and a kiss tasted all the sweeter when one had to steer beneath an overhanging “scoop” to steal it.

Yet, after all, isn't it a tremendous waste of money to put from $20 to $1 into a bit of straw adorned with three pink daisies and a ribbon bow--a purchase which may be utterly ruined by a summer thun- der shower the second time it is donned? A suit, no matter how much it costs, May be worn at least for one season, often for two seasons.
