 own sketches, no matter how crude they 

 may be, or a good milliner's fashion book 

 she can have pretty and becoming bonnets 

 at very small expense. 



Many women who would like to learn 

 the elements of home millinery, will have 

 the opportunity this fall and winter at 

 schools organized in cooperation with the 

 home department of the Extension Ser- 

 vice. The way to organize such a .school 

 is to get a group of interested workers 

 together and arrange with the Extension 

 Service for dates.
