Absolutely Nothing

Children’s Hats

WW WITH the opening of school ojkf again the wants of the chll* II dren are apt to take up quite as much time, and consider* ably more worry, than they need. Wherewithal shall their heads be clothed to among the • simplest of the problems that confront ths mother. Plain, strong and simply trimmed hats of good felt are the proper choice for school. Nothing more pretentious or less useful and durable Is worth a moment’s consideration. The only trimming allowable is confined to bands with bow and ends of ribbon, or sashes of silk. Mothers should discourage the fad for going to school hatless. Besides the coarsening of the skin which results from deep tan, and the difficulty of getting rid of a too-generous sprinkling of brown freckles, the hair should be protected, and the habit of carefulness as to appearance instilled in the little girl. This does not mean that she may never go bareheaded by any means. The mother will use her judgment in this matter, but it is rather difficult to make the journey to school hatless and not arrive there

NECK TRIMMING OF MUSLIN

Deep Flat Collars Are Strictly the Correct Thing—FrWs for Elbow Sleeves and Hem of Skirt. Today the deep flat collar of pleated lawn, with a simple, hemstitched or scalloped edge, of a size , that recalls the frills worn in our great-grand-mother’s girlhood days, with turnedback cuffs on the elbow sleeves to match, are decidedly la mode. Those who are fortunate enough to possess real bld collars of exquisitely embroidered lawn and muslin which date from the time of the revolution are producing them with pride and are greatly envied, for these wonderful old examples of needlework are in extraordinary demand. Usually they are of exquisitely line embroidery or cobwebby lace, mellowed with age. yet strong enough to give good service for a long time to come, if carefully handled. A charming revival of a somewhat later period is the fichu, of finest, softest muslin edged with little frills, which Marie Antoinette made famous. Nothing is so wonderfully becoming to both old and young as these fichus of soft, snowy muslin. The reflection they throw on the face and throat of the wearer is deliciously becoming. The frilled fichu is accompanied by frills to match at the elbow sleeves and. when possible, with frills on the hem of the skirt. On line lawn or batiste dresses either the Marie Antoinette frills or fichus are the style of the moment for a finish to the bodice.

Tho Newest Tea Gowns.

The tea gown is practical to wear at home in the afternoon or evening, and will save the street gown and the more elaborate evening gown. The lines of the best tea gowns are long and loose, but at the same time a tea gown should not be shapeless. A long coat effect is good, provided that the gown Itself over which tho coat is worn has a belt or girdle. This should be placed high up under the arms to give the empire effect. There shpuld not be much fullness if the material is on the order of voile or net. The soft finished satin gown to be worn under a lace coat should fit. or. rather, should be so cut as to indicate the lines of the figure—Harper’s Baxar.

Reveal Dainty Footwear.

Ultra-fashionables at places where the richest costumes appear show the whole foot and ankle as they walk. It seems as though the bootmaker and hosiery manufacturers would have to return to simpler styles themselves before the liking for short skirts decreases. Footwear is dainty and pretty as It bas aeldom ever been before, and the short skirts are a frank recognition of it

Cutaways Popular.

Cutaways are popular, and there Is a great variety of them. After them, the double-breasted effects are In favor. Uusually with .these there la a seam or a line of trimming down t>e skirt that continues the opening of the coat aad gives an appearance of completeness that la lacking tn moat coat and skirt suite.

somewhat frowsy as to the hair. Now, of all things that will be useful to the girl in later life, a regard to the neatness of her hairdress, will be most important, when It comes to matters of personal appearance. The trousled heads of Infancy and little girlhood are forgotten in the beauty of childhood, but only neatness is tolerable in later years. The pretty fashion of walking out in the early evening, for pleasant saunterings to nowhere'in particular, furnish all the opportunity needed tor the bare-headed brigade. When children have a playground sheltered by trees, they may romp hatless to their heart’s content But on the dusty road, to and from school, and especially in the dust-laden air of the city streets, the head should be protected. It is a matter of cleanliness there, saving the hair from the necessity of too much washing. A fairly good quality of felt should be selected for every day wear, and the fact never lost sight of that only the simplest decorations are permissible. t JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

CHIGNON TO BE WORN AGAIN

Follower* of Fashion Ar* Called Upon to Devise Effective Support of Old Style. Well confirmed rumors tell us that during the first part of the forthcoming winter chignons will again be worn low aa frequently as the higher decoration. This means that we shall once more have to combat the awkward space between the undulations of the front hair and the arrangement of the back tresses. The question of hair decoration is thus rendered imperative. Here is a charming head-dress which offers one solution of the very real difficulty. The decoration is of

broad gold galon, woven with a figured design. A fine wire edges each aide of the ribbon, which is made up into a smart flat bow with two loops and two ends. The wired edge enables the wearer to manipulate the loops and ends into charming curves, bending here, pinching there, flattening this, and raising that until the ornament, which Is simplicity itself, develops Into a most intricate headdress, filling up the awkward spaces and pointing into notice pretty curls or envied waves.

About Broadcloths.

Though fashions may come and go. though weaves vary and dress goods of many and various kinds be adopted by that whimsical personage. Dsune Fashion, broadcloth Is always tn favor. It is one of the aristocrats of the dress goods realm, and its place is always assured. -■ This year the tendency tn broadcloths is toward those with a very high luster—the more brilliant and satiny the sheen, the better madams will like her cloth. Smart autumn suits are of broadcloth. elaborately trimmed—frequently with handsome silk braids, often with rich and deep-toned velvets. But not alone for suits and tailored costumes la broadcloth in demand. For handsome wraps, street coats, evening garments and afternoon toilettes broadcloths will be fashion

TALLS OF COTHAM AND OTHER CITIES

Gotham Fat Women Outnumber Fat Men

NEW YORK.—Why are there so many fat women?** A man rushing upon his doom asked this question. He spoke of the increasing prevalence of large feminine persons, not with admiration, but with profound dismay. '♦Why are there so many fat women?" he reiterated. “I have watched the passing throng In several cities and while one fat man was passing I have counted not fewer than four fat women. This ratio has held true whenever and wherever I have had occasion to take observations. “These women are, for the most part, between thirty-five and fifty-five years old. They either waddle ponder, ously or propel themselves forward With not the slightest perceptible freedom of .motion, looking the while like statues moving on rollers. The alarming corpulence of our middle* aged woman Is getting serious. They seem to be fattening for a slumberous old age. one looks about In New York theaters and restaurants the conclusion that the New York women' seen there are about twenty pounds overweight looms large and inevitable. And in those restaurants Iles the ex-

Moving Picture Shows Grip Chicago

CHICAGO. —The moving picture show is putting baseball far in the shade in its bid for popularity. In Chicago there are four persons who attend moving picture shows for every one that attends a baseball game. Moving picture "fans’* are becoming more and more numerous, and their patronage is becoming so popular that the proprietors are giving more than 30 per cent, more pictures for a nickel than they did a year ago. The records of the moving picture bureau of the police department In charge of Sergt. Jeremiah O’Connor show that there are 556 shows In Chicago. Besides these, all of the large vaudeville houses are running moving pictures, and the erase has reached such proportions that the centrally located theaters even are presenting pictures between the acts. The first moving-picture shows were established in 1908. The first neighborhood theaters were located In remodeled store buildings. The public took to them quickly and they grew In number rapidly. All were not successful, prlnclpaly because every Tom, Dick and Harry who had a few dollars to invest bought a moving-picture machine, rented a place and made a bld for patronage.

Kansas Hiking Clubs on Long Trudge

rOPEKA, Kan.—if walking is good exercise for the city man on Sunday,. why is It not good for him on any other day of the week? That Is a question which not less than twenty hiking clubs are considering in as many Kansas towns. Golf and automobiUng are threatened by this new system of exercise. Edward Payson Weston when he walked through Kansas a year or more ago started the idea of hiking clubs among the business men of the towns and cities. In forty or fifty towns clubs were formed to go on walks on Sunday morning. Sunday was choadn because ,it was the only day the buslneM'men could devote to exercise. Now they are plan-' ning in several towns to make two or three hikes each week. An early morning walk and a fried chicken breakfast five or six miles out In the

Western Cities Are to Have Pennies

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah.—After years of turning up noses at cheap people of the east who would need such a small coin aa a penny in doing their dally business, there has been developed a real call In the west for these same coins. It Is largely due to the feeling of the housewives that much money could be saved In their buying at the shops and tn other ways if they had the small pieces of money. A movement has been put under way for the banks to Import the coins, and some of the shops are already advertising wares for sums that change Into pennies. When an inquiry was recently made Into this subject by persons interested ft was found that less than 20,000 pennies were in Salt Lake City. Many es them were held by the banks, whidh said they had difficulty in disposing of them. As In other dries In the west, the nickel had been , the small cota.

... . . . . ... ...... planation of the phenomena. We eat too much In New York, tjecause the best food In the country is shipped here and the best cooks prepare it/’ .... "Working women, women of leisure, time killers about our fashionable hotels, all indicate that the typical New York beauty begins life as a slender maiden of eighteen or twenty, and broadens into the plump and pleasing matron of twenty-five to thirty-five. After that there is but one ungallant expression to describe her proportions, 4 the one a married man used who said he was ‘suffering from fatty degeneration of the sweetheart’ ” But while there are many persons who will testify to their own ocular perception of the stoutness of New York women, there are certain Individuals who know absolutely about the matter. They are the buyers of readymade suits and gowns In large department stores. One. of these buyers, a Woman who draws a large salary from the most conservative house In New York, said: “New York women are growing enormous. Today the average customer in our store weighs 165 pounds. ‘The reason why American women do not look well in the hobble skirt is because they are too large for it. -French women have comparatively! small hips and they can afford to have their gowns pulled In at the feet Skirts are narrower than ever this year, and I am sure I do not know how New York women are going to wear them.” / .

Those handled by experienced showmen prospered. A moving-picture inspection bureau was established, and after the usual red tape and delay It got down to working order. The Chicago bureau has been so well handled at all times that It is acknowledged to be the best in the United States. Seventy thousand feet of films ar* inspected every week by the bureau. The seven police officers in charge are responsible for * the supervision and censorship of all the theaters in the city, their inspections extending to both sides of the footlights. Souvenir postal cards offered for sale Id Chicago also are under their inspection. From two to ten sets of picture* are rejected each week. “Cutouts” are ordered in perhaps an average of a dozen sets of films each week. The police censors order cut every scene which if enacted within their sight would be prohibited by law if presented in reality.

country Is something to think about The business men organize a walking club, the Peripatetic club or the Weston Wabblers or something Hk* that, and select a captain. It Is the captain’s business to pick out the road over which the hike will be made on Sunday morning and notify his company. Another of his duties Is to have a conference with Mrs. Jones or Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Brown, who happens to Uve five or six miles out on the road selected, and arrange with her to have ready a steaming hot breakfast of fried chicken, brown gravy, biscuits and alfalfa honey at seven o’clock. Usually the price for such a ■Sunday morning breakfast out In the country Is SO cents a plate- ' ~ ? During the last summer the farmers* wives who have prepared these feasts for the hikers have been astir early. They watch down the road for the column of walkers to dune over the hill, and then they take the biscuits and fried chicken out of the oven. The table is always set when the men arrive, and it Is the evidence of every Kansas woman who has entertained the hikers that they are hearty eaters.

and the easy spenders had treated even that somewhat contemptuously. The newspapers sell for five cents a copy. Children have been brought up to thb idea of asking for a nickel for candy and spending IL Now the cost of living is coming home even to the free-spending west, and housewives have founffthat it is not only well to loqk after the nickels, but the pennies, too. It is pointed out that under the present system If s purchase comes to an odd amount the for the Shopkeeper.
