To fit tha taata of tha tianaa. tha Vnltting bonnet has arrived, and it seams
aa thouch the quaint hat la here to stay, at least for the Spring season. Two
quills, so very much like knitting needles that you can't tall the difference, with
a little place of stitching aa a decorative motif and a little ball of yarn on one
of the needlre. on a dainty, white, soft taffeta hat, make the knitting bonnet
a moat taaty affair that will surely please those who are doing the knitting for
the aoldlrra and Bailors. There la one danger that la revived, however; the
needles are long and they are very likely to be as much out of place as the
Ions; hatpins of a few years ago.

Brussels Sprouts. -
RUSSELS SPROUTS are closely re
lated to cabbage and cauliflower
and may be grown In very much the
same "manner. The seed may be start
ed i3 the window box or in the hotbed
and transplanted to the garden when
the ground is in condition to work.
Instead of a single head, Brussels
sprouts produce a large number of
small heads, these heads being formed
In the axfjs of the leaves. If tbe heads
become too crowded the leaves should
be broken off so as to give the heads
more room. However, a few leaves
should always be left in the top of the
stem where the new heads are being
formed. Brussels sprouts are more
hardy than cabbage and In many sec
tlons may be planted In the Fall. ThaxJ
should be set in rows 30 to 36 inches
apart if for horse cultivation or some
what closer for hand cultivation. The
