BLACK HATS TIE NODE.

In millinery, black hats for the mo-
mcnt do innate the mode. Some attrac-
tive black chip hats are trimmed with
fine imitation of old point lace variousy
arranged on brim aud crown. Yellow
flowers, also petunia color blooms, are
effective additions to such hats. Flowers
which have no Counterparts in nature are
seen among new artificial blossoms, and
cOnspicuou,ly noticeable are roses which
present the many novel tones of reddish
purple observable in the cinnlria species
They show a wide range of shades in
this fashionable color and nearly every
woman, be her complexion what it may,
can find becoming tint in that range,
especially when combined Or intermixed
with lace. Tuscan hats, after period
= of Punishment, are once more acceptable.
They are frequently trimmed with color
to match, but this is very trying. 1t is
better to employ chestnut-brown, dahlia,
.or black which colors tone down the
vivid yellow in the straw Large pic
tnre hats of Leghorn will be we'll worn
with the black satin gowns and full
shoulder-capes now popular. ~ New

A WOMAN ASTRONOMER.

A recent issue of the Paris Figaro de-
votes half a column to an enthusiastic
account of Il young American girl named
Kumpke, who has won for herself rec
ignition as one of the most learned as
tronomers and most indefatigable and
successful observers in France. Five
years ago she was received as a pupil in
the Observatoire. Since then few
other women have been allowed to join
the work carried on in that world famous
institution, but she was the first to whom
the doors were opened, and for long
time she was the only one. Even yet she
alone has the right to call herself an as

Three -corncred Louis XIV. hats promise
to be Il success this season. But let
those rho wear them be careful how
they put them on. The success of a
trcornered hat depends much on the

SPEAKING LIKENEssEs.

"When a girl comes in and insists on
a certain pose or expression" says Bos-
ton photographer, you can be sure she
is getting up picture for certain man.
She has quarreled, perhaps, and she
means to convey by the picture that she
is sorry. Very few girls will say that
they are sorry, but they will go to an
elaborate trouble and expense to get a
picture representing them looking
mournfully into space or glancing APP
pealingly in sort of Oh, please don't

A woMAS's SAILOR EXCHANGE.

"The greatest hustler in Maine"
That is what the citizens of Rockland
call Mrs. Mary Ran.ett, who, alone and
unaided, carries on an enormous traffic
in sailors; real live sailors of all colors,
nationalities and stations in life.
Mrs. Ranlett looked the bustling,
vivacious business woman that she Is
Tall. good looking, with brown hair and
hazel eyes, partially obscured by sweep

would expect to see driving through the
streets perched high on the swinging
seat of common truck wagon with u
bronzed and bearded tar on either side
of her and the rear end of the wagon
packed two deep with more of the same
species.
Mrs. Ranlett's peculiar business has
grown tremendously in the last few years,
and at present is one of the institutions
of Rockland. Her establishment is on
the main street at the north end of the
town, and consists OF three large wooden
buildings of ancient architecture, whose
exterior shows the wear and tear of many
storms.
1t is a royal welcome that is given to
whoever enters the door At almost any
time of the day and night there may be
seen lounging about the door OF this

scriptions, their cracked, weather beaten
lips encircling the stems of black fore

minute later, for they know the discip-

woMAN's TRUE BEAUrIFIER.

A physician, who is a specialist in
nervous diseases, says that women
should sleep at least nine hours at night
and one hour in the daytime. Perhaps
you say it is quite impossible for you to
sleep, even though you lie down, in day
light. Possibly you will not the first
few times you try it, but keep up the
practice and soon your eyes will close
every day at certain time and you will

THE SWISS BELT.

The Swiss belt of ribbon is very much
liked and rivals the Empire folds in
effectiveness. 1t has been described by
us already, but we would here repeat
that it consists of five rows of ribbon, OF
which the upper and lower are pointed
and the intermediate ones run straight;
at the back or side or along the middle

full effect be sought, the cabbage" bow
is still better. Il Brooklyn Citizen.
