Ilere are two attractive bats for thlldren which can be made' at home ery easily from a mU amouut of material. An old coat or dress nitght be med for the beret, and parti of an laid raincoat or any garment made of water-resistant clolh, for the rainy day hat. The bureau of home economics cf the United State Department of Agriculture, which designed these hats, will be glad to furnish measure ment and (ketches for making both tt them. . The rain hat 1 cot only becoming to mall boya and girls, but It la con structed so as to ahed rain, and Is made of water-repellent cloth. The brim can be rolled back or left dowa In front, while the long back covers the back of the neck and protects it from rain. Many children of three to six years of age wear rain-proof play suits made of the same sort of material, and with this hat may play cut of doors In any weather. The crown Is made with six sections. Tiie brim is double and Is slightly stiffened with several rows of stitches about a Quarter of an inch apart The lining Is cut from the same pattern as the crown and is sllp-stltched In. The hat require half a yard of material and a quarter of a yard of lining. It Child's Rain Hat of Fabric, Shower-Proof Is designed for a 20-lnch head slxe but may be made smaller by taking in the seams. A beret is always a satisfactory head covering for a child of three or more, in fact, for a school child of almost any age. A boy's beret is made lightly smaller than a girl's, bat otherwise from the same design. Cot ton suede was used for making the beret illustrated, but any soft woolen fabric which will allow fullness to be smoothly gathered In will do. For spring wear, the beret should be light weight. If new material is used, half a yard of woolen fabric and a quarter of a yard of lining are sufficient. Berets, however, are very successfully made from par's of adult's clothing that is no longer 'useful. The beref consists of four crown Sections, a bias band, and a lining. The curved outer edge of each of the four crown sections Is gathered nntll it measures five Inches (one fourth of the head size required, which tn this case is 20 Inches), and then Stitched to the bias fold that fits around the head.

A good many people have an idea that the best place for meat in the re frigerator is in the compartment with the ice. They also have a notion that the way to keep meat or poultry as tt comes from the market Is to leave It wrapped .up in the paper bug in which it was delivered, and put it right on top of the ice. Neither of these practices is desirable. Scientific studies of refrigerators of all kinds have been made by the bu reau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture.

"Oh, whst could that have been?" asked Mr. Meadow Mouse. And the voice went on: "I'm not being seen, But I'm the Fairy Queen. I've brought you a warning This nice, bright morning." "Well, if that is so," said Mr. Mole, "we had better do as she said, and movj away. "I would hate to have my head chopped off." "So would I." said Mr. Mole, "I wouldn't like It at all.

Cookod meat needs almost as cold a temperature as uncooked meat It may be loosely covered with oiled pa per to prevent It from drying out too rapidly. If there is any doubt about keeping a piece of meat for a day or mora in the home refrigerator, it is safest to cook It at one and use It in a reheated form. Ion can't buy experience on credit.

For outlin ing, monogrammlng, Initialing, or stitching, use the trim stitch thread on top and In the bobbin. For the most effective work, the Stitches should run from eight to ten to the inch. Two contrasting colors, such as blue or green on top and yellow or orange In the bobbin are effective. Smocking Is beautiful for dress yokes, for sleeves, for holding skirt fuIliiop, for smocks, and for fins dresses of sheer fabric. For this work, adjust the stitch to seven or eight to the inch, and have an ordi nary tension. Use site 21 white, six cord thread In the bobbin.

Use of Electricity on the Farm It Is generally recognised, both among rural communities and by elec trical leaders, that no economic ques tion today has more significance for all concerned and for the nation at large than the proposition of making electricity available economically for the American farmer. The arrival of the time when this will be accom plished Is likely to be hastened by pro viding electrical training for young men with fanning knowledge and sym pathies.

The bears, tho sebras, the knnga roos, the hlppopotnmus family, the rhinoceros family, the leopards and all the others called out, "Thank you." The children laughed with gleet They were not In the least frightened, for tho keeper had said that the snl mays were most polite and would probably speak to their gui-sts. Only, he had said, their different ways of speaking sometimes sounded rather wild. Tho children stopped In front of the giraffe's cage, for tho keeper was glv lug a party In honor of Muster Gi raffe's birthday. There was tho giraffe looking very flue, and the keeper hnd put a birthday ribbon around his no. k so that he would be all decorated and dressed up for the party. Of course, It only covered a part of Master tilruffe's neck, for no ribbon could bo wide enough to cover It ail. Next to Muster (llraffe. iu the yard alongside, was bis mother, looking very proud and happy. "Many happy returns of the day," A Birthday Ribbon Around His Neck said the children. "I low old Is he?" they asked the keeper. "Ilo Is one year old," he replied. At t lint, all the children burst out InUk'blng.
