To Those Who Trim Their own Hats.

The following hints will be found useful
to those who trim their own hats and bon
nets, and thus adapt" style in way
for which American woman are celebrated
There Is not, to be sure, a very great
change in style from the summer. except
In one or two points. when the difference
Is very decided. For instance: Bonnets
are still increasing in height in front and
being lowered In the back. They are very
pretty, the last French models in this
style. Velvet and felt are much used in
combination; thus a gray felt bonnet has
the brim raised over the forehead; beneath
the brim folds OF velvet. above the brim
moro folds OF velvet, and felt slightly
raised at the back and bent into plaits, In
which the velvet strings are drawn down; (;
cross st the back and tie under the chin. A
bonnet of stone-colored cloth has iluted
raised brim beneath It.. resting on the
hair, knots OF cream satin cluster OF
black ostrich feathers Is set on one side,
the tips curling over the brim, and the
wide strings are of cream satin.

Three Women Walk TO Inner Africa.

Three women footed IL In July and Au-
gust last from the Indian Ocean over 200
miles to Mashonaland. They were men,
bers OF an Episcopal order, and were
trained nurses sent out TO take charge OF
the hospital which has been started In
that new country. The Bishop OF NASH
onaland expected that provision would be
made to carry these young women In
hammocks into the interior. but the force
OF porters was unexpectedly small and
the women said they would endeavor to
walk.
With extraordinary courage they set
out on the journey. There was no wagon
road, and for much of tho way no paths
were found. Tho party suffered terrible
at times from thirst. At night the bush
was always alive with lions, hyenas, buff
faloes, leopards, and other animals. At
one time tho party observed two lions
drinking quietly thirty rods from them.
The grass often exceeded twelve feet In
height for miles and miles, and some days
tho little caravan marched through inces-
SAINT rain. They suffered severely from
the desertion OF their porters, and OF the
thrty-two carriers with whom they
started only four remained at the end OF
their journey. The women had no fonts
TO sleep I'm, and altogether thoy made the
Journey under conditions which would
have tried the strength and courage OF
the stoutost men. They safely reached
their destination, however, and they are
the first white women 20 have made such

raised silk stripes in pale hyacinth blue.
The stripes were quantity arranged in front
so that the lines pointed upward and met
at the waist in the middle. The long
bodice opened over "A vest Of hyacinth blue
velvet. with smart pointed cults OF blue
velvet also.
OF course looked at hats more because
they are queer than because any cultivated
taste can find them admirable. Queer Is
the only word that expresses them ade-
quately. Look, for instance. at the one
with diamOnd-shaped crown. As saw
IL it was in brown velvet, with beaver
edge and fawn-colored wings. IL Is not
especially unbecOming, not more so than
three-fourths Of the shapes which are ac-
cepted without question, but il Is queer
Look also at the minute bonnet which sets
back on the crown and has plumes thrust
ing themselves forward over the hair 1t,
too, is queer. IL was IN dove grey felt,
with bands and strings OF dark grey velvet
and dark grey plumes. Consider, too the
terra Gotta felt out of which jewel
headed pin erects itself so aggressively.
There is, perhaps, no reason why "a hat
should not take just this shape, II IL feels
so minded, but on the other hand there is
no conceivable reason why 1t should do SO.

Coffee has this advantage over tea, that
Is renders large draught OF milk palat-
able. Let IL be understood that there Is
no such thirg as weak coffee-the thing
does not exist; 1t is contradiction In
terms, as weak brandy or weak eau-de-
Cologne would be. Coffee must be very
strong, and the dilution must be effected
by milk, not water; it must be perfectly
clear, and the maker must bear in mind
that II is not decoction but an infusion.
And much depends upon tho milk which
must be freshly boiled and frothing; five
minutes standing will allow IL TO get nat.
Let IL also be abundant-three parts OF
milk TO one of strong coffee. This is for
breakfast cups.

The Poke Bonnet Once More.

The old-fashloned poke bonnet Is again
here, direct from Paris. One OF the las.
Paris shapes Is merely revival OF the
bonnet OF more than fifty years ago; 1t Is
OF velvet, with high brim In front pam
ache OF ostricl feathers on one side, and
velvet rosette. with strings tied under tho
chin. Certainly IL has no: the frilled cap
affected by our grandmothers, which filled
up the sides Of their bonnets. and the
shape Is more cut back from the face, but
otherwise the resemblance is great. It Is
the real old poke bonnet OF the past. dis
gulse the fact as we may. and conjures up
visions OF ladies In skinny garments,
with abbreviated waists, sandaled shoes,
and headgear with nodding pumes. pick
ing their way daintily. with held-up
gowns, along the streets.

of rich fur, and, like everything which can
possibly find an excuse for 50 doing, ii had
"a long and extremely pointed train. The
dress worn below it, of which some hint Is

portraits of the unlucky queen. Its soft,

comical with their small round crowns fit

their deep, cavern-likc brims.
Among the new dress materials, the
corduroy cloths, with embroidered flowers

any. Long haired cloths and astrachan
stripes hold and increase their favor and
in tweeds the great pointed chevron
stripes are fashionable. The new gowns
are cut pretty much upon one model, with
gored skirts. tight about the hips, and
trains cut by the cross so as TO lie ON the
