Next to yonr face your hat should be the most painted affair of the season. No of course not, Gertrude, I'm not insinua ting anything. Arant .your hats al ways next to your face? All those ar lirta who have been painting the town, l or , coloring their : stories, -simply urent in it any more with the versatile j brush yiolders who can dash off a hat scape or two while you wait.

Most of the birds are"nything but still, however as they are done in the most shrieking of colors and lean toward the parakeet and cockatoo varieties.

What . a fortune our orchard crop would mean if only j; fruit trees were hat ' trees. The hats painted in floral ef fects run to large blooms like hydra- -enges, cabbage, roses and poinsettas; even ;?nn of the lillies are gilded. ' You know how it ia yourself when the house decorators leave a little enamel . or radiator bronze behind, how you go raound touching up every thing in sight , The same thing evidently has happened to the fashion artists. With -the paint left over from the hats they have lavishly gone about decorating evening frocks and afternoon gowns in handpainted festoons, garlands and nosegays. The plain little tight bod ices -and buff ant skirt and panniers of taffeta on the evening models lend themselves beautifully to handpaint ed ornamentation. A handpainted muslin chiffon or silk frock for a . bright summer's day is perfect ap? navel when topped with a hand painted hat- of like design and finished with . handpainted hose and slippers , to boot. Fine indeed for the maid who , has sense enough to como in out of the rain. Painbid parasols are excep-. tionally charming. They . carry out the design of ,tho vest of your paint ed costume, or they may be an orginal theme. A lavender one done in clus ters of purple and yellow pansies is indead food for thought. We have long had lamp shades and candle shades handpainted, bo why make . light of handpainted sunshades? Any way you look a handpainted summer seems imminent.. All summer girls will be "Mind-the-paint-girls" and of a necessity "Watch you .-step" as: a - ; watch word will fade into oblivion be fore the admonition "Mind the paint." Let us hope we don't all have the pointer's colic before the season's over. " ; ; . . -,J SUFFRAGETTES CONFER 1 Twenty Two Mississippi Valley States Represented Minneanolis. Minn. May 6.
