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

Agriculture, which designed these
hats, will be glad to furnish measure

The rain hat 1 cot only becoming to

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

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

around the head. All fullness along

the way to keep meat or poultry as

these practices is desirable.

Use of Electricity
on the Farm
It Is generally recognised, both
among rural communities and by elec

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

men with fanning knowledge and sym

The keeper led the way, saying:

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
