NEW HATS AND HAIRDRESSING
Latest Model In Millinery Permits Oen
erous Glimpse ef Coll In Most
Becoming Coiffure.
Since hate remain small and one
has not room to tuck up apparently
u n c o n s Idered
hair Into the
crowns, new
methods of hair
dressing ha v s
been resorted
to. By rolling
it up in a pretty
knot at the back
of the neck a
' glimpse of the
coiffure Is al
lowed beneath
the hat; and the
very beoomlng
sllcked-back ar

abandoned, and women nmind one
less vividly of the wooden Noah’s ark
ladles and gentlemen whose hair was
varnished on, you know.
The sketch is Illustrative of the
new hairdressing, and also shows a
smart tailored hat of black Users
straw to wear with one’s summer
tailored suit or dresses. The brim
which turns up closely all around
the head, is cut out at either side, al
lowing a view of the Mack taffeta
crown and forming a sort of Uttle
cranny for the quills of black taf
feta that trim the sides. These are
knotted at the base, with the wing
part wired visibly. The one on the
left stands more erect than the other,
but must not look too stiff. They can
be faced with white If desired, as
many of the ribbon trimmings are, or
kept all black, according to require
ments.
The model Is equally good for col
ors. or would be moat attractive If
carried out In aU white.
FRILLS FOR THE UNDERWEAR
Flowered Designs Are Moat Popular
for the Lingerie That Is In
Favor Today.
Ons always expects to see flowers
grow on hats and on drosses during
the summer days, but it Is a little sur
prising to see them spring up on mi
lady’s underwear. However, they ap
pear to very good advantage, and on
such material as chiffon, taffeta, net
and organdie. The little combination
suits, consisting of olther corset cover
and bloomers or corset cover and
short skirts, an most charming.
Dainty chemises an also offered la
flowered organdie. As the flowered
material Is so ornamental la itself, It
requires very little trimming. A row
of beading at the neck line or around
the waist Is all that Is necessary. To
preserve the quaintness of the mate
rial, black velvet ribbon Is run through
the beading In preference to pink,
blue and white ribbons.
The flowered materials an also
used for nightgowns, nsgllgees and
petticoats. The Utter an usually
made of the flowered taffeta, which, la
Its stiffness, is Just the thing to hi
worn beneath the full skirts.

EASY TO MAKE LOADER
Will Handle All the Hay Six Wag
one Can Bring In.
Oevlee Shown In Illustration Has
Proved Quite Satisfactory to
Farmer Who Designed It—
Keep the Mew Ventilated.
A home-made loader can be easily
rigged up. An UUnols farmer has made
lone which be thinks a great help. He
says this stacker when equipped with
a fork and an active horse. wiU
handle aU the hay six vfogons can
bring In. The rope Is fastened at the
top and bottom of a strong, slanted
pole, and the fork hangs over the
center of the stack. The wagon Is
placed alongside the board sideways
and the fork used the same as In the
barn.
If the hay Is to be stored in the
barn, you will need a steady team on
the wagon. The hayrack ought to be
about sixteen feet long and ten feet
wide. If you are a good loader, boards
at the ends and aides will not be nee-
When you arrive at the barn with
a load, hitch a steady horse on the
end of the rope attached to the hay
fork, set the harpoon as dseply ss
possible, and the horse will draw up
>OO pounds In a twinkling.
When the hay has run along the
carrier to the point where It is to be
dropped, pull the whipcord, and there
you are.
With a bright boy to handle the
horse on the rope snd an experienced
man on the load, it can be put into
the barn In ten minutes or less.
Always begin at the back end of the
mow, or the end farthest from the

chute to the barn floor; because when
bay Is put In In that way, It will come
out easier when being fed.
It Is a good plan to place the hay
level In the mow when it Is being un
loaded. If you can get an extra man
to help, so much the bettor; if not, do
the best you can between bites with
the fork, and keep the mow as level as
possible.
Keep the mow ventilated as long as
possible, always being careful to dose
the doors and windows to keep out
rainstorms.
Although haying is probably the
hardest work done on the farm, there
Is a satisfaction and Joy In seeing the
grass foil In symmetrical swaths over
the sickle bar and In reveling In Its
fragrance, while the hay Is being
wrestled from the Held to the barn and
Into the cool, dark corners of the mow,
that comes with no other labor.
When beginning the haymaking do
not start the mower until the dew Is
off the grass. If cut while wet the
grass will require longer for the sun
to dry It than when standing.
Cut Just what you can easily handle
in one-half day. The next afternoon
rake the hay Into windrows, and If
not thoroughly dry, better leave It
overnight
In order to be perfectly sure that
hay Is well cured on our father’s
form, we always put it up into good
si sed cocks and allowed It to remain
about two days. This second han
dling exposes all the damp hay to the
air and is swift In Its curing.
Timothy hay may be baled directly
from the swath without much danger
of heating, although It Is safer to have
the hay thoroughly cured before be
ing baled. If bay Is baled directly
from the swath It must be entirely
free from rain or dew, and this process
can bo employed only under the best
of weather conditions.

We are all quite familiar with the
fact that the weak, bad points of both
plants and animals seem to be more

The same Is true of animals.
