RAFFIA LACE HATS
THE VERY LATEST
Girls who Inst year sat on the plazzn of summer hotels embroider
ing collars or knitting sweaters are enthusiastic over raffia, hats thla
year. Only a few raftia lace hats are to bf found in the shops ami th
prices of those are so high that the girl with a moderate allowance can
do no more than gaxe upon them covetously. To make one of these hats
corta a great deal of labor and rare, but not much money, so If a girl
- has more time than funds she ran w-ll afford lo make hor own hat.
The raffia hat making 1h a development of the raffia basketry, whleK
has been a popular fad for the last season or two. Kaffla work, whether
for baskets or hats. Is not trying upon the eyes, and the fibre, which is
from a palm that grows, in Madagascar, is pleasant to handle.
A gre charm of raffia hats Is their Ughtncus. A pound of the
fibre will make four or five braid hot and nt least half n dozen luce
ones. The fine braid hats, woven l,i four or six strand braidx. are satis
factory either for shopping and traveling or for shade hat, while the lace
ones are smart and elegant or pictu-esque, according to their pattern,
shape, style of trimming, and also an Important factor the amount
of lalMir put Into their making, for there arc exquisitely fine lace Imts ami
others. t
Anyone who has ever made the mnrrrme lace, that prevailed In the
days of millinery house decoration, can easily master the art of raffia
lu"P ht making, for the patterns arc adapted from It. and the knntx and
network are copied. The hat Is besrun In the center of the erown. Eight
long strands of raflla are doubled and tied by drawing the end through
the loop around a stout bit of riffl.i. This foundation bit Ih then tied
into as small a ring as possible. The eight strand form the midribs
of the pattern, and upon every one holding the double strands together
even long fibres are tied tin n double Solomon's knot. W ith these
strands the whole pattern Is developed.
Beyond the star of the crown the patterns are varied according to
the taste and ingenuity of the worker, and to harmonize with the shape.
The illustration shows what variety can bo aeMeved in them by differ
ent workers, every hat being stamped somewhat with the Individuality
of its maker. Even the crown centers are not alike in any two hats,
although the pwttern Is really the some. But no two girls tie t ho knots
with the same firmness or possess equal knack in holding the strands
evenly. Deftness of touch and manipulation, together with a natural
love for painstaking, imparts a beauty to each hat that distinguishes
It from others.
The double brimmed, hat Illustrated was made by a girl In a large
college, where doeens of glfls have made hats thlH season, and some of
them are already wearing the products of their labors.
Fine, even strands were Selected for this hut, whirli" 1s made upon
a wire frame, the pattern being adapted to it. It represents nine days'
steady work.
Other handsome huts have been made In thirty hours, and some in
even less time, but the latter are msde of coarser strands, and knotted
loosely so the pattern 'fills up rapidly.
Most hats are made without frames, and have only thp necessary
wires to keep them In shape. These are all worked into the lyit. the
raffia being knotted over them as the .pattern 1 developed. ,
Handsome hats are being made of black ratfin. but it does not show
the beauty of the lace as effectively aa the natural color.

the age of a horse:"

65 years ago." said a veteran Orange
County horseman, "told m how to tell
the age of a horse, and it has run In
my head ever since. This Is the way it
ran," and he repeated the following
..rhyme:
To tell the age of any horse.
i Inspect the lower jaw. of course.
The six front teeth the tale will tell,
And every doubt and fear dispel.
The middle "nippers" you behold
- Before the colt Is two weeks old:
.Before eight weeks two more Will come;
Eight months, the "corners" cut the gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two In Just one year;
In two years from the second pair;
. In three the "corners." too, are bare.
' At two, the middle "nippers" drop;
-At three, the aecond naJr an't stop;
When four years old. the third pair goes;
. At five a full new set he shows,
i The deep black spots will pass .from view
At six years from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years;
At eight, the spot each "corner" clears,
From middle "nippers" upper jaw.
At nine the black spots will withdraw;
. The second pair at ten are white;,
Eleven finds the corners light.
As time goes on the horsemen know
The oval teeth three-sided grow;
They longer get. project before
' twrrty. when we know no more.

the
Electric Curlin
Iron Heate:
A simple little device which quickly heats any curling
iron without the least expense, trouble or dirt of the
old-fashioned method. Have you ever used one?
In all twentieth-century ..homes where electric light,
the modern, most perfect illuminantis or should be
used, the Electric Curling-Iron Heater will be found
almost indispensable. They are to be found also in the
rooms of the leading hotels of the , country and on the
more important steamship lines, more than 40,000 be
ing in daily use. ,
These ingenious little contrivances are made in a
number of styles, some having a marble and some an
onyx base, with top portion of ornamental design in
nickel-plated or polished brass finish.
They require no more current than an incandescent
lamp and may be attached to any lamp socket. They
are perfectly safe to use, as there is no flame and there
fore not the slightest possibility of danger from fire. A
neat little device at one end of the heater is so arranged
that when the tongs are inserted the current is turned
into the heater automatically, and when the tongs are
withdrawn the current is cut off in the same manner.
A complete line of these heaters and other valuable
Electric Heating and Cooking Appliances, such as
Electric Ovns, Electric Chafing Dishes, Electric Flat
Irons, Electric Tea and Coffee Pots, Teakettles, etc., and
