The tight-fitting, brimless. un trimmed bit of felt that ha: , passed for a hat for -the last 12 months will be oat of the picture entirely when Its older sister, the 1 floppy summer hat of light color makes another debut. Even the sports and business hats will bear traces of a not-yet-lost femininity, for they will have brims with little clusters of .flow ers placed anobtrnsireiy over ar. eye or under an ear. These predictions were made bj lime. Zayda BenY.usuf, fhlon director of the summer show of the Retail Milliner.' Associatioc of America, which opened In Ne ' York on Feb. ; 7. The materials of hat structure aho; will feel the tew note, and although the favorite felt will be In good form for certain few oc casions, the real Innovation of th season will be in fabrics. ' Taffeta, satin and all mannei of the softer silks will be in vogu ' for sports hats, which will hav sizable brims cove ed with thi material in tiny pleats that giv a flaring feminine touch. Straws, for many summers past relegated to second place in thr fashion parade, will supersede tlx heavier material and will vie witt the fabrics for popularity. Baku the season's new straw, soft, pit able and finely meshed, will take the place of latt year's bally buntle. A new composition materl-.l, cellophane, will be in excellent taste for tbe tatlored costume. The new material, a cross between a straw and fabric, has a high lustre and Is rather stiff. The large, floppy picture hat will disappear from the afternoor teas and will accompany the 1!S4 printed chiffon frock that is beN coming popular for summer eve ning wear on dress occasions.

Thr sides will droop to the shoulder? concealing all profile of the wear er. while the tiny brims In hurfc and front will make the creation easier to wear than the hat o uniform brim. The most popular trimming wil' be lacquered flowers and a con ! aervative form of the feather. Stiff, painted feathers, glued ir swirls and formal designs on the hat. will be the approved feather decoration of the year. Found In Many Homes and Really Deserves Place of Importance This article is Intended to call attention to the equipment of a modern medicine cabinet a de partment of home economy that has had attention in all genera tions. The medicine cabinet oi our grandfathers' day was the at tic. There were stored the vari ous herbs and roots intended for use in cases of illness or in the spring that time of year when popular opinion required one tc take a course of bitters or wha not as a matter of custom. Whj the spring was chosen for th . unpleasant chore Is not apparent. A meoiclne cabinet, more or less complete. Is to be found in many homes and it deserves a place. To deserve the place though, it should be well placed and adequate, according to Dr. H. Ia. Youta of South Dakota State College. It should be easy of ac ce3 and yet out of the way be yond reach of children who might Indulge In its contents to their hurt. It should contain such re meal es as are capable or ap plication by the person of aver . age intelligence in medical mat ters and inch as are most fre quently required. - Tbe object of the medicine cab inet should be well-defined. ' It should lend itself readily to ser vice in ordinary medical or sur gical emergencies and not pro mote th habit of undesirable - self-medlcatlon.

How Achieve Beauty V MML HELENA RUt&l NSTEltN How to be Your Own Hpectalist Dcauty I am going to tell you how things are done in the most exclu sive New York beauty salons. It will be a sort of sight-seeing trip, so you can learn to give yourselves the same kind of beauty treat ments that the fastidious society woman spends from $3 to 25 apiece for. If you keip this series of talks, md study each one assiduously, there is no reason why you should not be able to keep your skin In beautiful condition at little cost. It is often advisable. If you are where you can do it, to go to a ,alon that operates according to he system of one of the best spe cialists, and take a lesson treat ment. In that way you learn from actually seeing it done, and from getting the "feel" of the massage movements on your face. Also, rou can get an expert to diagnose your skin, to tell you just what kind you have, and to recommend he exact home treatment It needs o correct all Its defects and bring jut its beauty. You can learn the ricks of make-up, too, that are Host flattering to your particular .ype. However, you must keep wide awake during the treatment, however soothing it Is, and feel free to ask the operator Just what jhe is doing in the different steps, and what she is using to gain cer tain results. You will find that the operators in the best salons Xiicien Lelon UNDERTHINGS FOR Two pejama suits from Letong La -aww ft -V , Cured. .Left, combination negligee and pa jama, the former of flesh, georgette with inserts of flesh crepe satin; the suit tailored, of flesh crepe satin.

Of course, there are many wom en who will always prefer having their facial treatments' in salons to being their own beauty specialist. It saves time and energy, and It Is always an enjoyable and re freshing luxury to have skillful fingers work on your face. It Is just the same with the women who go to salons for manicures. They could take care of their own nails with a little extra trouble and time, but they would rather have the work done for them. i Of course, there Is always a dif ference between the massage movements you can use when youj are working on your own face and those which someone else could dot for you. However, I shall glve them In such a way that you will get virtually the same effects from your own manipulations that you would get from the beauty oper ator's. Let me stress the Importance of choosing Just the right beauty aids to put on your face. They must be pure, active and adapted to your particular type and condition of skin. A great deal of harm can be done to your skin by the use of the wrong beauty preparations, no their application. And you must be consistent In what you use, not forever changing.

L4sbeth One has only to look at the styles that are designed especially tor the gin who la active in out door sports to realize what a revo lution has come about In women's clothes In the laet decade. I be lieve that the bicycle was first re sponsible for a change. Women who rode and who did not? wore short, divided skirts and neat high boots1. These were dropped. aowever, as soon as the bicycling fad had passed. But the seed was sown, and sin co the World .war, outdoor iports for women have been more popular than ever before in his tory, and clothes have been made to meet the needs of active bo dies. Very simple these costumes broldered with graduated polka dots. The new Patou neck Is one if Its features. Pictured at the left is a white and roma blue sllp-on suit em ed with graduated polka dots. The new Patou neck is one of its fea tures. An imported rayon Jumper suit (center) also uses a dot trimming. the dots this time surrounded, by circle. The skirt, in this Instance, is pleated.

Pancakes bubble on the griddle; Sunday morning breakfast fare Calls as lively as a fiddle. Week-day morns we "eat and run," Tempers hurried, short, un stable; Sunday, in the morning sun. We chat and loiter at the table. Coxy, intimate, unrushed. This one morning out of seven, Sunday breakfast, peaceful hushed. Brings a little family-Heaven.

Vot so much practice o'er and o'er MADRID (AP) So well have Spanish women kept In step with the moderns of other lands that a foreigner, returning to Spain af ter, 20 years' absence, described the changes as "really marvelous." The traveler, who had . studied at the University of Madrid, re called that 20 years ago the Span ish woman who attended the uni versity was considered almost a freak. From 1900 to 1910 the number of women who had taken degrees could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Women doc tore in practice totalled not more than three in the whole country. As business employes there were few opportunities open to women and those only In social branches. In and from 1910 matters changed. Now women matricu late In the universities by thous ands and hundreds of them take degreea either in science or medi- dicine. Women have taken the places of men in many businesses, and every day the number of func tionaries of the weaker sex Is in creasing in private and public of fices. Women writers both of fic tion and of fact are very numer ous. Sportswomen abound in every game, and they take the lead of the men in winter sports In the mountains. Rarely doe a young woman think It necessary to be accom panied by a chaperon on the streets, a thing essential only a few short years ago. As to modern fashions amonr women, the Spaniard is much like her sisters of other nations. Us ually her hair Is ' bobbed, she smokes in public and she wearF skirts quite as short as those worn in Paris. Furthermore, talk of politics of art, of the theater and of cur rent events Is heard among wom en to an extent unknown by the Immediately preceding generation But that the eternal housewife stands Behind me those who went be fore With age-old, quick maternal hands. THE SCIEXTTFIO LECTURER (Suggested by Mrs. G. H. S. Rochester, X. Y.) The scientific lecturer r Cried, "Never mind what you prefer, Just eat the things I say. Don't touch the pastries that you crave. You'll fill a plump and early grave. Or live to rue the day." "Meat and potatoes never blend, They mean a most untimely end. Don't ever eat hot bread." He damned the very things I like, There wasn't one he failed to strike. "Prolong your lives!" he said. I'll never go to hear, again. Ascetic scientific men Of lean and hungry tongue.

"Dear Mrs. Lee: I am a girl of 16, and have been going with a boy and have grown very fond of him. He says he loves me, but doesn't act much like It. He told me if I did not go with other boys he would not go with other girls. I told him I wouldn't, and have kept my promise, but he hasn't. He would go to see another girl and tell me a big story. Last night I bad a date with him and hecall-j ed me up and said he had to goj off. Since he wasn't coming 1 1 thought I would go out. When I reached the place, the first per son I saw there was him. Please advise me what to do. Just PAL." You did Just right. Pal, and I'd give him to understand that as long as he isn't playing fair you will take back your promise.

(AP) , With sports and festivities of the ' season now at their height, the latest fashion creations seen on the warm sands of Palm Beach present a veritable rainbow of colors. Soft sport silks predominate and all the shades of blue, in har mony with the skies and the vary ing ocean tones, are contesting with white, yellows and many greens for supremacy In beach gowns at this winter playground of tbe we f hy and socially prom inent. The multitude of stripes In silks and woven into sweaters and coats of all descriptions keeps one on the alert for new combinations In colors and lines. Designs, too. are so- varied in geometrical fig ures as to form a second distin guishing group. Of great popularity are the va rious many stitched combinations of unique cuts In two and four tones of one color. Beige in every degree is making a bid for favor with debutantes and young mar ried women. Mrs. Arthur Leath of Chicago wears a novel tawney gold colored dress apparently having an apron drape both back and front on the skirt. ' The costume has the style needed for a beach morning, yet it Is specially designed for golf and other sports. Mrs. Gail G. Grant of Forrest Hills, L.
