The Times Will Do that Job of Printing RIGHT
Hats That Await Autumn
The time will soon he here for those
exciting and fascinating excursions to
the millinery shop in search of new
millinery, of which much is expected.
The old millinery axiom that a hat is
becoming when one looks better with
jt on than without it, is a good thing
to bear in mind. At the very least we
expect hats, like mirrors, to “be to
our faults a little blind, and to our vir
tues not unkind.” Just how much the
right shape and the right colors can
do to transform a face, is measured
often by the long price which a small
hit of millinery commands. It is (lie
intangible in millinery that is worth
more than anything else—the color
harmony, the beautifully balanced
lines, the poise of the hat on the
head and its appropriateness, that are
worth more than mere material.
No one understands this quite so
well as the woman who has reached
middle life, or passed it. She expects
her hats to do much for her in the
way of enhancing her g^od points, and
designers who specialize successfully
in headwear for matrons turn fabrics
into gold. One of their promising
new models is shown at the right of
the group of three hats pictured above.
It is made of black satin and the
top of the crown is soft. Narrow,
looped silk fringe, very brilliantly
black, makes a wide irregular band
about the crown and there is a narrow
brim with lines that flow in easy
curves about the head.
The hat at the left, for a girl of ten ■
or more, makes a picture on the head
that boasts soft curls. Its crown is
of felt in sections joined in seams that
are outlined with stitches of wool yarn
and the rolling brim is also of yarn,
apparently crocheted into shape. At
the base of each seam in the crown
a pair of pert little leaves support a
diminutive apple. Almost any little
girl will look well in this picturesque
hat.
The hat at tin1 bottom of the picture,
made for a young woman, is a dressy
affair of silver tissue with an odd trim
ming twining about the crown. The
trimming is likely to be made of twist
ed ribbon with a fancy edge, but might
ite of silver tissue or georgette. The
maker of trimmings is no respecter of
fabrics, taking anything that is with
in reach and fashioning it into some
thing new and strange and nearly al
ways beautiful.
TO SPECIFY SCOUT UNIFORM.
The war department has agreed to
detail an officer in the near future to
the Boy Scouts of America to co
operate in deciding details in the mat
ter of uniforms.
There are many returned army offi
cers and men taking up the request of
the war department to act as scout
masters for the troops of boys. Some
of these have merely changed the but
tons on their uniforms.
The national headquarters of the
Boy Scouts of America through the
chief scout executive, James E. West,
makes this announcement in regard to
scoutmasters’ uniforms:
“We doubt very much the advisabil
■ Ity of favoring as a permanent pol
icy converting army officers’ uniforms
into scoutmasters’ uniforms. Those
who have had army experience are en
titled to use these uniforms for a lim
ited period at least.”

WHAT SCOUTING IS WORTH.
~
Some scouts drive quite a few miles
to attend troop meetings.
Scoutmaster H. H. Kurtz of Troop
No. 1 of Locustdale, Pa., says:
“Only three Locustdale scouts live
within a mile of their headquarters.
Many of them live from seven to nine
miles away, and they come on wheels
or on horseback or in automobiles or
they walk.
“At every meeting there are scouts
who, having come by train, must, ow
ing to poor service, walk back nine
miles, and sometimes these boys walk
both ways.
“One patrol leader, in the terrible
days of early 1918, walked five miles
to the meeting through a sleet storm
that was prostrating telegraph poles.”
COLLEGE MEN LEAD SCOUTS.
Scouting has aroused considerable
interest at Yale. Thirty-five under
graduates are now scoutmasters and
assistant scoutmasters of troops in
New Haven, Conn.
SCOUTS WELCOME SOLDIERS,
Boy scouts of Los Angeles, Cal.,
held up for a day in their milk bottle
drive to take part In the “Welcome
Home” celebration given to their big
brothers just back from “over there*”
BOY SCOUT DOINGS.
A force of Reading (Pa), scouts took
in hand a fire that brok# out on Mount
Penn and saved trees they had been
the custodians of for several years.
An aged lady, ill and alone, was
cared for by boy scouts of Troop No.
41 In Memphis, Tenn., who also pre
pared her meals, cleaned house, etc.
In the relief of the near East drive
in Waterbury, Conn., two teams are
; of boy scouts. Team B set the high
mark, having secured 1008 pledges In
' one day.
