FOR WONIAN'S EYES.
What Woman Say and Do and
Have to Wear

The Cleveland is the name of COM
nonsense hat for boating uses. 1t has
a brim which answers all the purpose
of good-sized parasol without the
cumbersOmeneSs of handle. 1t has
sort of William Penn atmosphere when
left in its original shape, but the
milliners distort its outlines and turn
and twist the wideSpreading brim to
give 1t the properly awry look of most
of the picturesque hats of the season.
But while this crumpling and bending
gives the Cleveland certain air and
style, much of its original dignity is
destroyed and at the same time it loses
its chief value as a protection against
the sun ard wind. A band, or few
pretty loops of ribbon, is all the decor
alton this sensible, well-meaning pur-
itanlcal chapeau demands. Its shape
and Its name are quite sufficient.
Further ornamentation destroys
inal style. Flowers, feathers and
other gewgaws and frIpperies are en-
tirely out of place upon it.
Plated lisse edged with inch bits of
ostrich tips, also lisse that IS edged with
single tiny flower, is in much request
for millinery. The lisse. IN both vare-
ties can be had in any color. likewise in
black. 1t is arranged very full over the
foundation and frills of it stand high
upon the crown. Some types of faces
are improved by raising the brim of the
hat above the forehead. and where lifted
knot of velvet is introduced just over
the hair. Bits of ivy and rich damask
roses trim some of the handsome hats of
black chip with edges of black fancy
lace straw; and those of rice straw are
elegantly decorated with plated frills
of white Venetian lace orchid blossoms
and one large panache of fine cut jet.
Garden party hats of cream-yellow Leg
horn braid are heaped with snowy os-
trich plumes. into which nestle huge
cabbage roses or pale pink carnations.
Red toilets abound at the summer re-
sorts. A costume worn on dress parade
this week was a Vandyke-red silk COM
bined with sheer red French yelling
figured with design that shaded from
shrimp pink to the darkest red. A red
parasol yelled with very elegant black
lace cover, black gauZe fan painted
with pOppies, bonnet of red peoples,
black silk hose and black patent-leather
ties completed toilet that could be
seen mile away, yet one that was
| made so elegantly and carried SO exceed
ingly we'll that it was impossible to take
exception to it. 1t was certainly con-
| SpicuouS as dress, but its wearer, a
| tall. slender woman with clear, olive
complexion and raven-black hair, toned
and subdued it by her manner and car
riage.
The Empress-Dowager of China is a
woman of character and progressive
ideas. She greatly admires the civiliza.
ton of Western nations and longs to see
China in the front ranks. When the
Chinese statesmen demonstrated with
her because she desired that her son,
the emperor, should study English with
tutor, she brusquely Informed them
that their opinions were not wanted
Whereupon they hastened to bring her
from the College of Pekin, two students
to act as teachers. and the young emper

the intricacies OF the English primer.
A novel clock, made of colonial cedar,
the case being forty feet high. will be

ventiOn, will be represented in the
upper portion of the case, and each one
is to rise from his seat in torn and de-
liver !; speech on the federation. Each
hour large organ will play tune in
side the clock. and the Astronomical
feats of this unique piece of mechanism
will be as wonderful as entertaining
Visitors will be admitted to the interior
of the clock and the tower.
