The Submerged Crown. A gorgeous hurst of color Is seen In a brood-brimmed leghorn hat with low. round crown. The crown Is submerged In a thick garland of rones shading from vivid magenta tn rich crimson.

The straps are spread horizontally and stand much more on the bent down brim than they would If the leghorn ■was in Its usual flat shape. One Secret of Attractiveness. Not all women can be beautiful, of course, but some phase ot attractiveness Is within the reach of all. It Is an exceptional person who has not one “redeeming Virtue" that can he cultivated. and volumes hsve been written on this subject. In this wisdom she is doubtless well versed, and has tested the rules^and regulations thoroughly, with perhaps less success than ah- expected. The "secrets" have not divulged themselves and still remain In-

scrutable.

But here is a secret that "works. " It is not new, and to many it sounds rather prosy, but It really docs pay. as all who hsve found It can JAfUfy. Cheerfulness and positive thoughts ^ ways pay. because they relax not only the mlnu, but even the muscles of tne face. Try this secret and ece for youraolf.—American Queen. i Tne Lilac. In The Delineator N. Hudson Moore writes charmingly of that favorite of old gardens, the ...ac. In the language of flowers, the lilac. It Is said. Is unrequited love. Nuny superstitious fancies hover a(>out this flower, particularly In England, where in some ru-al parts It Is regarded with especial disfavor by lovers. In many small hamlets In the heart of England, to give to your sweetheart a spring of purple Ular, Is to say you wish the engagement broken, while stout hearted bachelors sport a boutonniere of It to show that they are proof against the charms of woman. The white lilac is called lesa unlucky than the mauve, but neither should be made a gift between lovers. "She who wean lilac will never wear a wedding ring." runs an old proverb, so wise mo; hers with marxlagable daughters see to it that m. sprig of this unfortunate flower Is brought Inside the house. In Devon and Cornwall pixie ridden counties, the lilac is the May flower and a peculiar virtue attaches to It. If gathered before the sun is up. Originality in Drexm. The woman who is anxious to he known as a smart dresser must cultivate an Individuality Ic wearing her clothes. She must exhibit good taste In the adspiatiorf of color and daalv., a*d she must indulge In a few arils-' Us audacities in the combination of hues and In the adoption of modes. Moreover she must take on the accessories to the season's fashions. In theao adjuncts to sour: garments lies a fascinating charm when they arc worn with a certain chic aplomb. If yon wear gowns that are adapted to your complexion and figure, yon may acquire the reputation of being

broldered or almply crossed with rows of ribbon or braid or cord. Or a small er pastille of another material wlU be mounted upon it. French knots in profusion will also adorn either the whole or a part of the pastille. As for lace applique, Its usefulness in this or any other capacity goes without saying In this way of adorning a dress of the ornate sort The pastille, however. Is a democratic hit of trimming. A cloth one Is just ss content on a walking suit as Is a coquettish little velvet one on an evening dress. In big, ornate sorts it will be In evidence on handsome street costumes.—Philadelphia Record. A Woman's College In Japan.
