hats for winter those for dressy wear are STRICTLY ornamental. \ ; New Headpieces Have Discarded the Suggestion of the Practical and Offer iio Protection Whatever From the Cold. Winter hats, intended for evening or other dressy wear, have discarded e suggestion of the material. They ar ® strictly ornamental head-pieces and take no notice of the element of protection fijbm the cold. Except for e prevalent introduction of fur, and the material of which the body of the at is made, one might consider them designed for summer wear. Shapes, save the day for brims still ro °P in a becoming and sheltering way ' Velvets, nets and laces are called into use for the bulk of trimrnings stuffs, while ostrich plumes and owers add the finishing touches. The hats shown here are types of winter millinery In which laces are used for decoration. Many dress hats a ‘ e uiade entirely of lace or not. In these a band of fur about the crown, a flat bow of fur or borders of fur on ribbon or silk drapery, give the touch that speaks of winter. In Fig. 1 a hat of heavy white satin is overlaid with a coarse silk net and lace of Russian mesh. It is trimmed with a collar of small ostrich tips, the sort known as “Heads.” In the model they are white. This is not a difficult hat to make and would be

pretty In colors with black lace overlay. Fig. 2 shows a large hat of velvet, with an “aeroplane bow” of lace. In this case it is a plaited fan 4rith wire supports. A velvet collar and a small Alsatian bow at the front finish the pretty mode. Light felt hats are effective trimmed in this way. In Fig. 3 a beautiful hat in shellpink corded silk is shown, with a drapery of lace made of a circular piece which is tacked over the shape. Four beautiful plumes are mounted at the left side and are the same color as the silk.

WEDDING VEIL IS IN FAVOR

Various Attempts From Time to Time to Banish or Supersede It Have Failed. From time to time attempts are made to banish or supersede the wedding veil; but, in spite of all objections, it still persists tn the favor of the bride, who is apt to be sentimental rather than reasonable. The way of wearing it, however, has peen largely changed; many brides now wear the veil as a sort of cap, not falling over the face at all, but fastened back with a circlet of flowers. In front it reaches only to the knees, but in back to well below the ankles. Tulle, except for those who have rare and beautiful old lace, is succeeding lace in favor; perhaps because there is no danger of having part of the design ornament one’s nose or eye! AlofTtuHevettrprdperly draped, fastened by invisible pearl-headed pins and falling over a coronet of jewels or of blossoms, is as pretty a sight as any wedding guest could hope to see.

Dress Trimming. A charming Paris model for an afternoon gown was seen recently, which depended for its adornment entirely upon a sort of fagoting of self-mate-rial. The gown was a light fawncolored challis, and on tunic, underskirt and girdle and down the front P of the blouse the material was slashed and reconnected by crossed intersections of the challis, rolled tight into tubular pieces and sewed to straight bands so as to give the appearance of fagoting, or of catstitch. T-fae same effect has been seen in silk and It is Pretty on a rather ♦hick material, though not suited to fabrics very thin or delicate in appearance \

FROCK FOR THE SMALL LADY

Cashmere In Dull Shade of Tan Is Reo ommended for Garment Shown Here. Here is a pretty frock for a young lady of eight summers or so. It Is made of cashmere in a dull shade of tan and trimmed with embroidery In self-tone, with a touch of red. The front of the blouse Is laid In a center box plait, with two tucks at each side, the back has merely the two tucks on either side of the closing. The sleeves and blouse are In one.

the band of embroidery which outlines the neck extending over the shoulders in a pointed tab. The skirt Is the conventional side-plaited affair, the belt and cuffs of the embroidery. The hat worn Is of soft tan felt, with trimmings of dark red velvet ribbon.

SKIRT STRAP A SURE BOON

Greatly Aids the Amateur Dressmaker In Keeping Gores and Plaits In Place.

The skirt strap, ambiguous as It sounds, is no relation to the shawlstrap! It is sin?ply the little stitched strap of self-fabric that holds the pleats of the skirt in place.. You will see it appearing on all the new models for heavy cloth skirts; for fashion has said, "Narrow!’’ and narrow it must be. There are usually two straps on each side of the skirt, almost meeting, and sewed on a little below the knees. Sometimes, when there is a pleated blouse (and it is a three-piece suit or a one-piece costume) the straps are repeated over the pleats or, again, on the sleeve. Certainly they are a boon to the amateur dressmaker who finds trouble in keeping gores and pleats where they should be; they save labor afterward in cleaning and pressing, and they give a natty, tailored appearance to the smart cloth gown.

Simplicity is Good Taste.

Think of the woman whose house, whose appearance, whose conversation creates the best impression, and you will realize that absolute simplicity is the secret. Remember this when selecting your clothes, decorating your house, also when you meet strangers on your holidays. Unfortunately simplicity is not always cheap. You will often have to pay more for the hat of simple lines, the frock of fine material and exquisitely simple design than you will for something more ornate and dashing. i

To Keep Needles.

A soda mint bottle, with a little screw top, makes an excellent holder for needles, to keep in the workbag It Is especially good for damp climates, as the needles will not rust It can be made a thing of beauty by covering It with a bit of the material of which the bag Is made (preferably silk, as this will work up better); and a workbag given for a present Is doubly acceptable if some such little thing as this Is added to give a distinctive touch.

A Hand Bag Variant.

The girl who need not consider wear first can indulge in some of the new hand bags in heavy watered silk, net in a gold frame and finished with gold tassels at each corner. Especially good looking is a bag of black watered silk, so set with a monogram, in gold in the left-hand corner. Velvet is eometlmes used for the bags, but the moirs is newer and more stylish; also does not catch dust so easily.

GREATEST BASEBALL LEADER

National league world’s champions have passed for the day, and American league champions now are possessed of the highest honor in professional baseball. Connie Mack's hands are worthy hands in which to repose the custody of this glory, for he is one of the safe men now connected with the game. He is strictly honest, wise beyond his generation, and a pure sportsman, writes James A. Hart, former president of the Chicago National League club, in the Chicago Tribune.' Certainly the goddess of fortune selected wisely when she chose this long bodied, long headed gentleman to become the recipient of the world’s baseball championship emblem. Mack’s plan of developing young players into a championship team is in my opinion the proper one, for it makes the player realize more fully that he Is really and truly a part of the team rather than if his release had been purchased from some other club whose manager had given him the proper schooling and to whom he should feel obligated. Do hot for one moment permit yourself to believe that this unassuming down east Yankee does not know and use the tricks of the game, for he is wise and will turn any honest advan-

tage that an umpire will allow when his team is to be benefited. It was this same Connie Mack, nee Cornelius McGillicuddy, who as a catcher back of the bat in the old days when a caught foul tip made an out, invented and perfected the fake foul tip, or, in other words, could make a noise by snapping his finger against his mitt in a certain manner, or by using his well trained lips could emit a sound so like the noise of a foul tip that the umpire, who as a general rule had faith in Mack’s innocence, would, upon Connie’s supplication, call out the batsman, firmly believing that the ball had been a foul tip. Mack has by example and advice been much, to the players under him, for he is a man of perfect personal habits, is of a most kindly disposition, and more than tolerant with the playing errors of his men. He is of Scotch-Irish extraction, born and reared in New England. He made his first appearance in fast company in the Washington team when that club whs a member of the National league. He and his favorite pitcher—they used to go in pairs in those days—Gilmore by name, came to Washington as a battery in the ’Bos.

TROTTERS HAVE GOOD YEAR

Horses Have Done Unusual Amount of Record Breaking During Year— New Worlds Marks det.

The records show that trotters have done an unusual amount of record breaking this year, while among the pacers the breaking of records has been confined to the performances of Minor Heir at Law. Minor Heir lowered Star Pointers’ mark of 2:00% to 2:00 at Galesburg, 111., recently, and at Indianapolis a week later he paced the mile In 1:59.

Willie Hoppe, in an exhibition billiard game played at Hartford, Conn', the other day, broke his record of a’ continuous run of 197 by scoring 213. The run was made on a four and a half by nine foot table, with a four-teen-inch balk-line, with one shot in. The record will not become official because play was not on a regulation size table “

BOTH HAD THEIR GRIEVANCES

Tenants of Building Meet and’Attempt to Settle the Noise ■ V Question. “Say, look here, I don’t like to kick, but really I have stood it just as long as I can. Every night somebody in your house keeps the pianola going or else starts the phonograph, arid I find it impossible to get the sleep I need. Understand, I like you and your family as neighbors all right, generally speaking, and I’m sure yeu don’t Intend to make It disagreeable. It's just a case of not thinking of the rights and the comfort of others. That’s the great trouble with most of us. We forget when we are enjoying ourselves, that we may be making It mighty unpleasant for others."

“You’re right, old man, and I don’t blame you a bit for complaining. By the way, there is a little matter I have wanted to speak to you about for some time, but I’ve felt some delicacy in approaching the subject. Why Is It that you let your roosters begin crowing along about daylight? They make It almost impossible for us to get the sleep\we need, and why do you mow your lawn on Sunday mornings? Please understand that I don’t deny you the right to spend your Sundays in any way you see fit, as long as you don’t interfere with the -rights and comforts of others, but this thing of starting in to rattle a lawn mower at 5 o’clock every Sunday morning—the one morning in the week when the majority of people would like to sleep late—doesn’t seeem to me to Indicate that you, have much regard for your neighbors. Now, I’ll tell you what I’ll do—l’ll compromise with you.” “What’s your proposition?” “I’ll see that our music is stopped every night at 10 o’clock If you will keep your roosters and the lawn mower quiet until 7 In the mornings.” “O pshaw! There’s no use talking to you. I had an idea you could listen to reason, but I see I was mistaken. Morning.” Morning. Chicago Record-Herald.

Took Them for Insects.

Woodrow Wilson, the president of Princeton, said at a recent dinner in the beautiful university town: “When all the world is well educated, as all the world will be some day, then it will be better for everybody. Some foolish people, though, don’t care to see all the world educated. These people want to shine—and to shine, of course, one must have darkness. "But that is a poor way to look at it. Those ambitlouc people should rather say, the more education, the more appreciation. “There’s nothing more disagreeable than want of appreciation, you know. A multimillionaire returned to his native village and erected a marble palace on a hilltop there. One day, after the palace was completed, he said to the postmaster and the crowd of loiterers in the general store: Boys, my milllos-dollar house up on the hill is simply full of Titians.' “The loiterers exchanged looks of surprise and horror, and the postmaster exclaimed: ‘"Good gracious! Ain’t there no way o’ killin’ ’em?"’ ,

Lord Kitohener a Fatalist.

Those who know Lord Kitchener best call him a fatalist That he has some very strong convictions as to his future, however, his friends are well aware. To give two examples: During the Soudan campaign he was once warned not to expose himself to recklessly to the enemy when in action. To this remonstrance he replied: “I shall never be killed. When my time comes I shall die peacefully in my bed.” Again, in South Africa, after he had become commandey-ln-chlef, the headquarters mess was discussing the military future of the various members present It was the unanimous opinion that Kitchener himself would be called to the war office. But Lord Kitchener shook his head and said, with a smile; “I think you are all wrong. Somehow I have a feeling that convinces me I shall never occupy any position in the war office." We see that Lord Kitchener has just started to play golf. Let us hope that a few rounds on the links will make him an optimist.

He Wouidn’t.

Joseph H. Choate, brilliant lawyer of New York, deprecated at a recent dinner the exorbitant fees charged by some lawvers. “You have perhaps heard,” said Mr. Choate, “of the gentleman who remarked to his counsel, when his case was settled: "‘Well, your fee, sir, is exorbitant I know positively that you didn’t give two hours to my case from first to last.’ “ ‘Ah. sir,’ said Mie lawyer, airily, ‘it is not alone my actual time I charge you with, but the cost of my legal training as well.” “ ‘All very fine,’ retorted the client ‘And now I wonder if you’d mind giving me, a receipt for the cost of your legal training, so that your next customer won’t have to pay for it all over again!* ” ——3 2

AN AWFUL BLUNDER

BIGLEY’B HASTE TO SAVE HIS SUIT WAB DISASTROUS.

His Wife's Curiosity Is Aroused When He Telephones Her Not to Give His Wearing Apparel Away.

“I never did like that suit.” Bigley jumped up from the breakfast table with a show of Impatience. “I can’t help It If you don’t,” he exclaimed. “I paid |SO for IL and I can’t afford to throw It away.” A pause. “But I’m going to,” he added, savagely. “I’ve suffered enough in it. It is too small, and I simply can’t stand It. I put It on this morning for the first time In weeks. But I’ll take It off and never wear It again. You can throw it away.” “Well!” cried Mrs. Bigley, “imagine what you would say to me if I should throw away any of my clothes because they didn’t turn out well.” “Nonsense! I wouldn’t mind a bit. What’s the use of making myself uncomfortable? it doesn't pay.” 1 That’s the difference between us? You can afford to make those experiments, but I can’t. I’d never hear the last-bf it.” “I should want you to do just as I am doing. Well, I can’t wait to get this off.” He was gone ten minutes. He reappeared In another suit. “I left it on the chair,” he said. “Give It away. Throw It out. I never want to see it again. Goodby. I’ve just got time to catch that train.” He kissed her and hurried off. When he got to the train he suddenly put his hand In his pocket and remembered that he had forgotten bls purse, which was in the pocket of the waistcoat he had discarded. Was there time to go back? No. He had enough to get him to his office.

But that |SO. Ah! His wife might give away the suit to some one, and forget to go through it. He hurried to the ’phone. She answered almost Immediately. “Say! I’ve been thinking about that suit. Perhaps you would better not give It away. I may be able to have it altered. “Did you think —” “O," carelessly, “I didn’t know but some one might come around today. Just hold it till I come home. Put It In a safe place, and I’ll see about IL” “All right" Bigley smiled to himself all the way in. He congratulated himself on his presence of mind. He might have mentioned that SSO, and his wife—? When he came home that evening he was met in the hall by his wife. She had on her street dress. She had " just come in. “Where have you been?” he asked. “Shopping.” He turned pale. “What did you get?” “A lovely cape—for $50.” "Where did you get the money?” “Out of your clothes. Do you know, my dear, I shouldn’t have thought of looking there If you hadn’t telephoned." —Harper’s Weekly.

Shrinking Glaciers.

Scientists aver that, save over a small area, the glaciers of the world are retreating to the mountains, says the Dundee Advertiser. The glacier on Mount Sarmiento; In South America, which descended to the sea when Darwin found It In 1836, is now separated from the shore by a vigorous growth of timber. The Jacobshaven glacier, in Greenland, has retreated four miles since 1860, and the East Glacier, In Spitsbergen, is more than a mile away from Its old terminal moraine. In Scandinavia the snow line is further up the mountains, and the glaciers have withdrawn 8,000 feet from the lowlands In a century. The Arapahoe glacier, in the Rocky mountains, with characteristic American enterprise, has been melting at a rapid rate so» several years. In the eastern Alps and one or two other small districts the glaciers are growing. In view of these facts we should not be too skeptical when old men assure us that winters nowadays are not to be compared with the winters of their boyhood.

A Boy’s Preference.

Little Roger Mcßride stood by the highway that led down to Chardon and waited for the big threshing machine to go by. The big thresher rumbled a good deal and was heavy and unwieldy, and if you got a chance to ride you had to hold on tight. And while Roger was waiting there tn the yellow highway a fine automobile came by and slowed down, and the voice of the rich set man in the world hailed him. “Don’t you want a ride and a handful of candy, little man?” said the voice. / Roger had seen the richest man and knew who he was, and he shyly smiled at the greeting, “If you please, sir,” he answered. “I’d rather ride on the thresher.” So the richest man laughed and Whirled away and the boy waited by the roadside.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
