FASHION NOTES.

(By “Freda.”) This season which, sponsors large hats as well as small ones, offers tcmpring creations to the woman who loves hats. And what woman does not realize that in her choice of headgear is the magic which may make or mar her costume! A dainty frock with just the right hat has all the appeal of a perfect symphony. And if this crowning toucTi be lacking, the charm of a lovely frock may go for nought. The woman who knows she is well shod, charmingly gloved and perfectly hutted, cun feel at ease though her frock is almost threadbare, but there must be truth in it. Perhaps the modern woman would not be willing to go quite so far in her statement. No doubt she would insist upon the ITotjk being perfect.. But, somehow, she would manage gloves ami shoes and hats, with a m’uklace thrown in. For the modern woman must know that her matching accessories are just right. A glance at the fashions of to day will assure the casual reader that youthfulness remains the watchword. Women have advanced wonderfully in their ideas since the days when dress Vvtis the keynote of the wearer's age. Now, for the matron as well as her daughter, frocks and hats show simple dignity and are always young. Take for (’xamj)le a charming close-fitting model. This small hat is made of brown satin with a brown ostrich plume which encircles the crown, down through an opening at the side and drops softly down over the shoulder. Such a hat is equally becoming with a dark or light frock because of its soft, youthful appearance. Beige lace, and beige moire ribbon over tan horsehair make a hat. ot. dressier type. The shadow’ lace has a heavy cord to give it weight and drops over the brim in scallops. These scallops, with tho beige ribbon ends at either side, make for the irregular line which is as smart in hats as it is in f rocks. Shiny black hair straw is wreathed with shellacked red cherries amt rod leaves. The effect is striking, while a satin and straw mixture makes the hairbraid as light as a feather.. I’oppies and green leaves are posed on horsehair of a deep watermelon tone. Stencilling is playing a great part in this year’s millinery and especially on the new felt cloth hats. To stencil ilesigns successfully the proper paint must be bought for the work, and it should be well diluted with stencil medium. Picture hats are always very fashionable. I have seen a very smart one made from tobacco brown satin with a lace brim bound with a piece ol the crown material. Swathe with a broad sash of brown, leaving loops and ends hanging at the side. This is suitable for summer wear. USEFUL HINTS. Apple Rolls. —Sift together two cupfuls of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, and four teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Rub in four tablespoonfuls of shortening, adding enough milk lo make a soft dough. Roll on a floured board to the thickness of one-eighth of an inch, keeping the dough rectangular ill shape. Spread over it two tablespoonfuls of softened butter, one cupful of finely chopped raw apples, and onefourth ciqiful of sugar mixed with one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Roll the dough up tightly and cut into slices three-fourths of an inch thic I ’. Place in a greased pan and bake in a hot oven for about fifteen minutes. Serve hot or cold. Black Cap Pudding.—ll: If a pound of flour, two eggs, a pinch of salt. Method: Sift the flour into a basin; add the salt; boat up the eggs and stir gradually into the flour, adding the milk by degrees, and work into a batter. Butter one large, or two small, pudding basins. Sprinkle in the currants ami ])our in the prepared batter. Cover the basins with buttered paper and steam for one hour. Potato Balls.—Boil and mash some potatoes; add pepper, salt, and a little minced parsely. Roll into balls with a little Hour; fry in boiling lard. Drain well on paper (egg and bread crumbs if obtainable). Make them very nice and brown. “‘"a pew pointers for men. Keep your courage up, and your temper down. A minute of keeping your mouth shut is worth an hour of explanation. Every man is a fool at least ten minutes each d-y. Don’t exceed the limit! Many a man thinks he is a shining light in the pages of history, when he is only a flash in the pan. aiting to be a somebody will make you nobody. Courtesy is to business and Society what oil is to machinery. The barriers are not yet erected which will shut out aspiring talent. Man never reached heights above his habitual thought. Do not turn your back on troubles; meet them squarely. Don’t worry v(?hen you stumble. Rei\s about the onlv thing * cfoVn,
