FADS AND FANCIES OF FASHION

SMALL HAT FOR AUTO THERE LARGE BHAPEB WOULD BEEM OUT OF PLACE. iTaupe Veil, With Bonnet to Match, >v is Among the Most Appropriate of the Designs Offered—Bright Colors Favored. - Small straw bonnets, sailors and light felt hats have no rivals in popularity when the question of automobile headwear comes up for settlement. She who buys a hat for this purpose remembers that a veil, must be worn with it, both for comfort and protection. Washable chiffon in light ’colors and in gray and taupe makes the prettiest veils and those in deep 'cream or light blue are especially becoming. The taupe veil with bonnet {to match is very elegant This color does not need to be washed as often as lighter ones, but this may or may not be considered an item tn its favor. Taupe colored headwear is . {brightened by small touches of the most vivid colors in its trimming, ljke {that In a r small cluster of cherries, or ilittle hand-made silk roses in bright ipink, made and sewed flat to the bonnet or hat Cerise is a favorite color In combination with taupe. 7 All the small bonnets of straw and the new straw sailors, are made In

bright colors in addition to the regulation white, straw color and black. Remember this in making a selection, for the coming summer. Fashion favors millinery that is cheerful and bright Street hats and bonnets, including midsummer Sailors, are made In rose-pink, light green, light blue, spurple, lavender, cerise and rose color mb well as in quieter colors, and they have a lot of “go” and distinction. ■ Small bonnets are faced with silk, 'which may be plain or flowered or striped, not to mention the changeable tones which are liked so much. Bows of ribbon or silk and small flowers of silk are used for trimming and _'are posed flat to the body of the hats or bonnets. Thß YBit ts shirred on-tt-narrow ribbon or elastic band '} and slipped over the hat, where it stays, be the wind more or less boisterous. 'A double width chiffon, two yards long, makes a sensible veil that may be brought about the neck and is not too long to’be thrown back and left to

MILLINERY MODELS ARE MANY

•Designers Have Been Busy, and Sure* ly AH Tastes May Be Satisfied With the Styles. 1 A neat little morning hat with a helmet crown and curled brim made of sapphire blue straw has a couple of lime green feathers upon it and no other trimming at all —a curious com-, binatlon of dyes, but quite pleasing. Another model is of the beret shape, developed In a chip of a steel gray shade; on the drooping side of the crown is plastered a perfectly • flat hunch of roses surrounded by leaves. .The flowers look as if they had been pressed in a book. { Pure green, pink and orange are the colors of the buds that In sections at each color make a strange decoration for a cinnamon colored straw hat, all the stranger since out of the center of the flowers rises a handful Of cerise plumage. As if in feverish seal to produce novelties, the milliners are making wrings of straw and flowers, and straw ribbon is quite an ordinary anomaly.

Breeze Baskets.

The bedroom that is redolent of the old-fashioned scent of lavender suggests refreshment and peace. It is not enough td wardrobe shelves with lsvensj|;alfeheta. though to do so is a step direction, a Very pretty are the hanging "breeze” baskets which every breath of air from the outside encourages to send forth a delicious scent The baskets are hung upon ribbons and along upon the looking glass or upon

float when not needed over the face. The soft felt is jjost comfortable, but not appropriate for everyone and therefore not becoming to many faces, it is “floppy” and apt to lopk rakish. Pretty, youthful faces can “carry it off” unless the figure is stout. It i* the hat for a girl slender tad young; the fortunate type that can wean ev* erythine. . " ~ i-iv JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

QUAINT CONCEIT COMES BACK

Choux of Ribbon, Silk or Velvet, 86 Popular Seme Time Ago, Is to Be Revived. . ; A quaint conceit which is being reeved bn several models is the large choux of ribbon or slik velvet, repeating, perhaps, the note of color at the waist and placed at the side front about nine inches up from the foot. In fact, we appear to. be In for. a revival of these contrasting choux of silk or velvet, which were such an infliction some years ago. They are applied' to the corsage or skirt more or less indiscriminately, and bear no relation to the general design of the model. Just now the Idea Is quite endurable, especially when carried out as on a white batiste frock with a Vshaped lace vest at the neek let into a large plain vest of fine embroidered batiste. Two large diamond shaped pieces of lace on the shoulders bead: two soft folds of batiste, which cross over In front into a swathed waist belt of soft mauve silk, finishing with an enormous choux at the left front. - The skirt is on simpler lines, gathered into the waist A band of the lace is applied about a foot up from the hem, and just above this and in a line with that at the waist is a very large rosette bow. These touches of mauve were quite delightful. A similar note was sounded on the white baby hat,.which had a wreath of tiny mauve roses encircling the mob crown. Another model in spotted muslin also had a little cross over bodice folded over a soft fold of pale green silk. The waist belt and rosette are in pale green silk and a large flat rosette headed an open seam, revealing a lace inset. These Introductions of colored silks Into white lingerie and muslin frocks are very much to be noted just now.

Wardrobe Hints.

Green, which is, above all colors, the most springlike, has hopes of coming into its own again, and the hue predominates in many of the new tail-or-mades, and particularly in mixed serges. Belts of all kinds are again appearing, and the belted Russian blouse for outdoor wear will likely be very *>ftea' seen during the coming spring months.

RATINE LINING.

White ratine, as a lining for black or colored faille or satin coats, is one of the smart things in handsome suits. The white doth comes out in collar and cuffs, with big buttons covered with silk or satin. Black gowns of the kind are used in half mourning.

TAFFETA TURBAN

Here is a charming little turban in the much-used taffeta, and the only decoration Is two mercury wings effectively fastened on each side. ? Taffeta is so universally used at preemit that we fear its popularity with the fastidious will be shortlived.

Wisp of Lacs and Chiffon.

The evening corsage grows smaller and smaller and beautifully less. Very dishabille, as our Parisian friends more elegantly express it, is the corsage composed of a wisp at lace and chiffon, upheld over the shoulder by a thread of brilliants or beads. 1 '

LAST TRIBUTE TO THE MARTYRS OF THE MAINE

Fs?at. tribute to the officers and men who went down in the battleship Maine In Havana harbor was paid when thirty-four unidentified bodies were interred in Arlington cemetery In the presence of President Taft and other high government officials and a great gathering of soldiers, sailors and private citizens. Our photograph is a scene on the cruiser Birmingham, which brought the bodies from Havana.

FRAUD IN OLD BILLS

Confederate Money Still Used to Swindle Immigrants. First Issue of Currency In SouthProblems That Confronted the Treasury of the Confederacy During the War. Boston. —Confederate money is still a favorite medium of the confidence man in his dealings with the raw immigrant, though it is hardly a currency to deceive any naan acquainted with the country’s history or even with the negotiable paper money of today. It Is not surprising that confederate money is so plentiful after a half a century as to make it more valuable to the confidence man than., to the collector when one realises the immense amount turned out by the industrious presses of the Confederacy. " ' . -v- -;^'n- . The Confederate treasury kept on printing paper money almost up to the fall of Richmond. ▲ note dated Richmond, February 17, 1864, declares upon its faee: “The Confederate States of America will pay $lO to bearer two years after the ratification of a treaty of peace between the Confederate States and the United States of America.” When the Confederate treasury began business there was a clear enough perception the public men of the Confederacy that cheap money would be one of their government’s perils. They had been brought up in the old democratic monetary theory of a currency composed of gold and silver at a fixed ratio intended to correspond with their relative bullion value, and paper money based upon such currency. Almost exactly fifty years ago the issue of $1,000,600 in interest-bearing notes was authorised. This was the earliest Confederate paper money issued. By July of that year the treasury had exceeded the authorised amount, and the issue of doable the original issue was then sanctioned by law. The smallest denomination of these early issues was SSO, for the treasury hoped that means might be

Husband Out of Work Forges Wife’s Name to Check. Banker Goes to Her Aid snd Writes to Offer Position, But Woman's Spouse, Fearing Prosecution, Ends Ufo. 4 Chicago.—Receipt of a letter by a Chicago man recently, a letter which should have brought employment and happiness, caused the man who received it to commit suicide. The strange story of how.her husband, who had long been out of work, took his life upon the receipt of a letter which meant the offer of a Job and future comfort is told by the suicide’s widow. "My husband, after being long despondent over sickness and bis inability to obtain a position, in a moment of weakness took my bank book, which recorded a small amount of deposit, and forged my name to a check for |l2. I know that he used the money in an endeavor to And employment and that he would have paid it back to me, but fate willed differently," said the widow, sadly.

found for using silver and gold in minor transactions. Before the end of the year the authorized issue had again been exceeded, and in spite of oft renewed good resolutions the Confederacy by July, 1863, had $1,000,000,000 of notes outstanding. For a few months devoted Confederate patriots permitted their gold deposits to get into general circulation, but soon everybody who had gold hoarded it or sent .it out of the country to a place of safety. Almost at the very end of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis vetoed a bill for the issue of $80,000,000 in paper and congress passed the measure over his veto. The funding plans resulted in a temporary contraction of the currency and a fall in prices, with the consequent enrichment of some Of the desperate gamblers that hung about Richmond and fattened upon the hardships of the Confederacy. After each contraction of the currency the convenient presses were set going again, and instead of a circulating medium

Old Fued Comes to Light

California Men Kept Btrange Vows for Many Years—Arrest of One Reveals Compact San Bernardino, Cat—Never to set foot upon each other’s sidewalk, and always to be prepared to shoot to kill if they should meet outside the city, is the strange compact that for fifteen years has been in existence between C. W. Richardson and Joseph and John Shafer, prominent business men of this place. Their places of business are opposite each other on Court street This compact was violated last week whan Joseph Shafer, trying tp catch a better gllmpie of an aviator, crossed to bis enemy’s sidewalk. Richardson came forth with a jump to make an attack. Shafer fled to his own side of the street but burled back a challenge. This aroused Richardson, whose high-voiced reply made it possible to

"*I do not feel,’ said the bank official, That thla is a case for the courts, itseems that perhaps your husband has been more or less a vldtim of circumstances, and I think that if he Is given a chance he will be an honest man henceforth. So strongly do I believe this that I will show your husband that every man’s hand is not against him, iam going to have him call upon me and I will give him a position in the bank as a porter, and if he does well I will make him a watchman. I will write a letter to him at once.’ -- "The bank president wrote a letter simply asking ihy husband to come and see him. I went out to do some work and did not return home until evening. The letter had reached my husband in the afternoon at home. I suppose that since the letter did not speak of a position, and as my husband was conscious that he was guilty of the forgery, he became crazed with the thought that bis act bad been discovered at the bank and that the letter telling him to call meant that be would soon be in the clutches of the law. _ "I suppose the terror of his position drove him insane, for he went into a shed on the rear of our lot and killed himself by hanging. The letter, taken out of the envelope, was iu bis coat pocket, a mute witness of the cause of bis self-dentruetion. 1 found his body later in the evening when I went to the shed and was almost crazed with grief, the sudden changes from despair and fear to Joy and then again to hor-

of $175,000,000 as the treasury once planned, of of $200,000,000 as it planned at another time, the outstanding paper money swelled and swelled until It had exceeded-the $1,000,000,000 of midsummer, 1863. The banks of Virginia tried to protect themselves and the treasury by refusing to receive the depreciated currency, but in vain. When soldiers in the trenches of Petersburg were paying $lO for a tin plate from which to eat their frugal meals, and ■ S6OO or SBOO for a pair of boots, the people were still clamoring for larger Issues of paper. You may still buy crisp, fresh leaking Confederate notes at prices varying from two cents to two dollars per hundred notes.

London. —Canon Ottley, in a sermon delivered at Bow church, spoke severely about “the insolent disregard by the wealthy of the sanctity of Sunday." He stated that the other day a lady whose servants had all given notice because of her -Sunday entertainments, went to a registry office and asked, “Can't you find me a cook without a soul?”

The fend started fifteen years ago, when as a bachelor Richardson and the Shafer brothers occupied adjoining houses. Richardson broke the bachelor atmosphere by marrying, and the fight was on. Several court cases have grown out ot seemingly trivial quarrels between the contestants.

Given in Token of Betrothal, She Need 'Not Marry to Keep Them, Rules ~■' a Pennsylvania Judge. Blairville, Pa.—A girl owns her engagement rings, whether or not they lead to her marrying the donor. So rules Justice Gelb of this place. Miss Josephine Graham and Charles Vachal, both of SaKsbnrg, became engaged to be married two years ago.
