Wide Brim Hats of Gay Straws
i
iVclcoine wide
'brims! It is
very fascinating
and timely chap
ter which tho
hat wide of brim
is writing Into
story of spring
and summer mil
linery. Really,
after all we have
a right to expect
' wide brims, fat
what with the feminine note being so
widely exploited In present-lny fash
long It Is not possible for them ta stay
out of the picture.
Speaking of wide brims. If you are
ftflng to the seashore this summer
be sure to take a very, very broad
brimmed rustic hnt along to wear
with your beach pajama ensemble, of
course assuming that your costume
la styled with the new very full and
belted -In -at -the -waistline trousers,
topped with a tuck-In blouse.
However, the wide brims of Imme
diate concern are those modish for
town wear, such as the several types
pictured here. As will be seen In this
Illustration there is no lack of novelty
or diversity In this season's wide
brims. One of the most Interesting
types In this group Is the hat with the
roll-of-the-face brim shown In the low
er right corner of the picture. This
model brings its message of smart
ness direct from one of the leading
ateliers of Tarls.
The first hat in the group rolls Its
brim np at one side, drooping the oth
er In most graceful manner.
To the right at the top is a glossy

Fairy Tale for the Children f
; By MARY GRAHAM BONNER $
: ,
As the clouds were passing along
they heard the water fairies, and saw
the ripple on the water.
They hurried along to the eastern
sky. And as they passed Mr. Sun
they barely stopped to speak to him.
In fact, they almost covered him up.
"I don't think the west breete are
friendly today," said Mr. Sun. "When
they go to see the east breeze I know
they're tired of me.
"A for those clouds they psssed
me by without speaking at all !"
When the clouds went along to the
eastern sky and the breezes all blew
from the east, Mr. Sun decided be
might just as well take rest
"No one wants me for a little while,"
said Mr. Sun. Til have short nap
In that nice dark cloud bed which
puts me to sleep so quickly."
Down on the earth the people were
saying:
"How quickly the sun has disap
peared. He Is completely covered up
by a great dark cloud."
And when the King of the Clouds
came forth wearing bis purple-black
robe, he said :
"Where sre my fine raindrops? I
want some ot my nice big raindrops,
too."
"Here we nil are,' said the little
raindrops. "We are sleeping In the
cloud beds you gave us."
"Tumble, tumble," said the King of
the Clouds, as he pulled the little
raindrops out of their cloud beds.
And down on the water they pat
tered and fell.
"Oh, how cool they are, and bow
lovely," said the water fairies.

Soft Custard

(Prepared by the flnlted Sis toe Department
ot Agriculture.!
The serving of soft custard n sauce
on various denscrti not only innkoi
them seem quite new and different,
but ndds materially to the supply of
Iron aud vltamlncs furulshed by the
meal. For this reason, In families
where there are growing children, It
Is good Idea to have custards fre
quently, but by varying the basis of
the dessert, monotony will bo avoided.
For Instanco, custard sauce I good
with most canned fruits, such as
peaches, plums, apricots, or pears;
with lomo ot the fresh fruits; and
with stewed dried fruits. The ennned
mid stewed fruit should be drained
before pouring over them so that the
sirup does not dilute the custard. This
sirup cau be saved to sweeten and fla
vor fruit drinks or fruit gelatin. Cus
tard sauce Is also good with plain
cake, puddings, such as brown betty,
steamed fig pudding, or chocolate
bread pudding, or with Hiivarlnn
cream or other gelatin desserts. It
Is good plan to put It on the table In
pitcher to be passed to each person.
Soft custard should be cooked In
pan surrounded by hot water below
boiling temperature. A double boil
er Is the best utensil for the purpose,
While cooking, custard should be
stirred constantly to make It smooth
and velvety. As soon aa the mixture
thicken sufficiently to cent the spoon
It Is done and the pan should be re
moved at once to bowl of cold wa
ter to check the cooking. If cooked
beyond the point when It coat the
spoon custard Is likely to curdle. If
cooked too rapidly It Is dttfloult to
keep custard from cooking too much.
