BUYING A. HAT.
I went forth to buy a hat. A sin;
process, it would seem. When I
turned my mind registered despair
cherished the thought that sai
needed only halos, Oh, the sights
Ishe uses to market her product.
pee We had a hobby show in our club,
eat the members of which are rural wo
I men. Each woman gave a demonstra-.
nes I tion showing how her exhibit (or
I hobby) had been made. The demonstra-
saw! I lost all faith in my fellow
womae. Think of the mother of six,
bearing on her face all the signs
and,
symbols. of frantic struggles to get
breakfast for those six, with a his.'
band thrown in for good measure, be:!
ing persuaded by a vamp of a sales-
woman that she was a Cleopatra in an j
azure Egyptian hat with straight,.
pieces over the ears, embroidered with
wormlike cobras of Pharaonic dy
asties!
Think of a hatchet face, anaemi
and wrinkled, going below the si
beaver topper of the gay young Prin
of Wales, its curved brim sprouting
black silk shaving brush at a raki
angle. Imagine a fat and florid fat
a bit moist with anxiety, gray h
straggling back from thick ears, smi
ing at itself in a Rose besot helm
high -crowned, narrow of brim, with
cascade of tropical palm leav
tumbling over one ear; or an of
maid's face belonging to the gene
tion that made old maids the burde
bearers of the family, gazing wit
lackluster eyes in a mirror that r
fleeted a visored jockey's cap marke
off in sections like a cantaloupe, tb
colors black and purple. Surely th
French proverb should be pasted
each mirror, "Search the face w
and without optimism, before choos
ing a hat."
Not only the face, but on'o environ-
ment, social activities, type of mind
outlook on life'should count. Th
wrong choice gives away one's aecre
foolishness. Be sure you are coquet-
tish before attempting a Dutch bon
net. Be sure you look mysterious an
a trifle melancholy before attemptin
the tiara turban of the Russians; a bi
wicked and pagan before accepting
the wound turban of the Indian dans
er. Remember that you should run
from the wing feathers of the African
bird as fast as he would run from
you unless you were fitted by Nature
to carry his plumage. Whether the'
feather is' burnt, tortured, glycerined
or curled, regard it with a speculative
eye.
Each of these hats and fancies is ati
the top notch of fashion. Every one!
of them will be thrust upon you by
those who have no conscience.
CLUB
WOMEN, ATTENTION!
If your club is just drifting along,
meeting now and then to exchange the
latest news, or if the women in your
eommunity have never organized, why
not develop a home -makers' club? The
plan is for each member to teach the
other members how to do something
in which she excels. In one commun-
ity in our county there is a home-
makers' club having twenty-five mem-'
hers. Regular meetings are held the
second and fourth Thursdays of each
month; the meetings begin at ten and
close at four. Each woman brings a
luncheon consisting of sandwiches,;
fruit and cake or cookies. The hostess
for the day serves hot beverages dur-
ing the cold months and iced tea,
grape -juice or lemonade at the sum-
mer meetings.
Some of the demonstrations which
have been most interesting included
the removal of stains, remodeling
clothing, batik and dyeing, basket
weaving, methods of serving food,
first-aid suggestions, making a dress
form, methods of cooking vegetables
and food selection for the healthy'
family.
Iles your club a "hobby show"? If
not, you will want one. What is a!
hobby show? Just this: Each mem-
ber of the club is asked to bring a
sample of her hobby and tell how to
make it. If she is using her hobby
to make "pin money" it is interesting
to have her tell some of the methods
tons included the making of a set-in
l pocket, pillows filled with milk -weed
pods, hooked rugs, quilts, Swedish
weaving, embroidery, tatting, crochet-
ing, china painting, water -color paint-
ing, decorated candles, lamp shades,
artificial flowers, baskets and'angel
cake.
The baskets were made of iris
leaves which had turned brown. The'
maker showed how she steamed the
n ;leaves and then showed the method of
c' weaving baskets. The closing de-
Ik monstration was the mixing of an
ce angel cake. Following this, angel
a cake and grape -juice were served.
sh r So many ideas developed from this
show that members of the club plan-
ar ned to have these demonstrations be -
1 come a regular feature of their club
et, meetings, their club program provid
ing for several of these meetings dur
es ing the year.—Eva Floyd Smith.

BUILT SPECIAL CUPBOARD.
My good husband took a strip four
feet six inches off one side of our
medium-sized kitchen and in the mid-
dle of the strip built spacious cup-
boards from floor to ceiling with doors
and two drawboards. At one end of
this strip he fitted a full-sized door,
the newly acquired space here opening
into the cellarway. In hero he put
a number of cleats full of nails to hold
kettles, frying pane, griddles and
pails, and in back of the cupboards
some open shelving or food, making
a sliding door of a window screen,
thus keeping out the mice and flies.
An outside window gives light and
air and its new wide ledge affords a
safe place for pies to cool.
At the opposite end of the cupboard
was put a narrow door into a "catch-
all." This space has shelving room
for boxes of Caps, mittens, overshoes,
sunshades, and much else out of sea-
son. A row of short shelves is fitted
in here back of the cupboards, and
cleats full of hooks lino the rest of
the wall space and hold hats, over:
shoes, coats, etc,, in season. This room
holds.also laundry bag, ironing board,
broom, carpet sweeper, boots; over-
shoe, and one thousand other things,

The Prairie Provinces Outatanding,
It is Interesting to note that the
highest birth rates and lowest death

by the Prairie Provinces, where the
more strenuous phases of agriculture
are pursued and where the closest ep

prevails with huge farming areas and
