IN NEW MILLINERY.

Black Satin Hats Are Very Popular, but Commonplace.

Everywhere one goes, the inverted flowerpot hut of black satin is sure tu be seen. This piece of millinery ip artistic bands is wonderfully chic, but when attempted by the great majority it is a cheap imitation of a good mode. A two inch rutile of white lace peeps from the brim, and the trimming is usually a large, Hat bow at the side. What hats have lost this season in circumference they have gained in height, and some of the models are prodigiously tall, but as they are the advance guard of millinery there is every reason to hope that as the season advances they will be modified. The neu hats, though, are very trying to the average woman, for they either sit down over the head, concealing most of her hair, or they flare up abruptly and unbecomingly from her face. To be sure, there is a certain smartness about them, especially the coronet shapes that have a rather narrow upstanding brim in front and gradually rise to stupendous heights in the back. A wreath of feathers resembling an Indian chief’s war bonnet is the sole trimming. The all feather toque, although not hew, is very smart, and there is one advantage in this model—it cannot be carried out In cneap feathers. Beaver shapes in all colors promise to be popular. and ostrich feathers arranged in high, upstanding groups of three or more add an extra degree of altitude to many smart snapes. It is to be a great season for velvet, both for hat coverings and for trimmings. And in feathers there is a new effect called, the Belgium plume, composed of owl feathers, that is as weird as it is expensive. Fur, too, will be very much used on hats. ■

She Won Beauty Prize. An international beauty show was recently held in Folkestone, England. Six women were chosen to compete, and the audience was asked to use their judicial faculty in regard to beauty, grace and dignity in the selection of the winner. Competitors were

present from Paris, Naples, Belgium and Valencia. Miss Kitty Darling, whose picture is here shown, was the successful beauty winner. Miss Darling is only seventeen years of age. She is fair, dresses simply and wears her hair in long plaits on either side of her head. She has posed as an artists’ model. If America had sent a representative Miss Kitty very likely w’ould have been out of the running. An Embarrassing Habit. Hiccoughs are distinctly mortifying to the victim. As they are- signs of poor digestion and may mean bad stomach trouble, if of frequent occurence, they should be treated medicinally. ' For temporary cures try gradually dissolving a small lump of sugar on the tongue. Slow sipping of hot water is also good or gargling the throat with ice water. j
