GREAT consideration is being

GREAT consideration is being ex-,
tended to drunkards nowadays. 1t
is undoubtedly kindly and charitable
to help victims Of the liquor habit
along the road to sObriety, but the
growing disposition to make them
wards of the state appears to be car
rying the movement too far. The
Maryland Legislature has passed a
bill providing that any habitual
drunkard or drug user may, upon ap-
plication to county judge, be sent
to an institution for the medical
treatment Of drunkenness at the cost
Of the State. This will involve a
great expense to the taxpayers--an
expense which should not be imposed
upon them. There is no more reason
why dipsomaniacs should receive the
services of specialists at. the public
charge than that rheumatics or
paralytics or people afflicted with
consumption should be packed off to
high-priced private sanitariums. The
Maryland law allows 800 for each
case, and IL any considerable number
Of liquor users avail themselves OF the
opportunity offered the State will
have to issue bonds to meet the ex-
pense. The matter is one for private
charity and individual effort The
dipsomaniacs are no more entitled to
special consideration than IRE the
ordinary run Of invalids.

for $500 but the jury evidently

a price upon affections which, accord

lace straw, and from between the bows
rise several pink and green shaded
velvet orchids. Several pink velvet
rosettes adorn the back of the hat.
The latest novelty for the foundation
of small bonnets is clover shaped, or
like an ace of clubs. The stem of the
club" extends at the back, the central
round is over the forehead and the
two side ones bend downward slightly
toward the top OF the ears. This Is
for those who welcome the side droop
now coming into vogue. For others
the clover may be made to rest on the
top of the head. Three soft choux OF
silk null in three delicate shades cover
the entire clover, little fall OF pleated
chiffon with delicate lace edge finds
foundation on the stem" and bow
knotted of ribbons of all the different
shades of the chiffon stands prettily
erect in the center. There is fancy
for making the little fall in the back
OF black net, and for mingling with the
erect boy few stripped quilts.
Another thy biiou bofnet is cres-
cent shaped, the points setting low on
either side Of the couture, and the en-:
tire shape being covered with small
flowers. At the thick of the crescent
on the edge furthest from the forehead
there is set wide bow of delicately
colored ribbon. This is all there is to
it. 1t is especially stylish with the
crescent brim covered with black vio-
lets, their green stems falling fringe
like on the hair, the bow being of deli
cate daffodil gauze ribbon striped in
narrow lines of pale green. Some tiny
bonnets are made with a brim shaped
after this crescent fashion, and the
place of crown taken by a flare set
along the concave edge of the brim,
the flare being widest at the middle OF
the crescent curve, where 1t extends
shell-like over the top of the head and
narrows to nothing at the horns of the
crescent This shelf-like crown serves

ONE Of the latest chemical discov-
cries Is a method for the artificial pro-
duction Of petroleum. The process is
simple and effective. 1t is the dis
tillatiop OF animal fats and oils at

ave atmosphere in a strong iron
vessel. About 10 per cent of the
fatty matter Is transformed into PEI
troleIm, this being 90 per Cent af
the theoretical yield. The discovery
is not Of any commercial importance
up to date, as the artificial product
costs a great deal more than the ma
tural product Of the rock. But for
aught any one is justified in saying
to the contrary all this may be
changed within the next few years
by the use of cheaper basic material,
or because Of the increasing scarcity
of petroleum, or both. The matter,
in any event, is one of great scientific
interest. 1t tends to show how the
natural article has been produced by
the processes Of nature, while 1T may
prove to be the starting point in an
investigation that will lead up to
ether discoveries having a more prac-
tical bearing.

four large punches of violets, some

bon. 1t is very neat and youthful
model.
In many instances the effect of width
and the outlining in oval of the face
now so desired are attained by falls of
accordion-pleated chiffon from the
sides of hat over the ears. This is an
entirely new effect, one which will
rapidly run into exaggeration. To be
successful in following the fashion you
must recognize its tendency, and be
quick to realize when a novel idea is
really new. and when it is only devel-
opment of an old one. This extension
of a hat below the head line is new
idea. We have built up above for
long time: elaboration of the under
side of the brim was the first step in
another direction, but perpendicular
extension below the head band is sig
nificant. The shape of the face will
now be modified by arbitrary outlin-
ing, while in the day of additions above
the crown the shape of the face and
head was balanced by outline above.
Arbitrary outlining is attempted by
adding pendant effects from the sides
of hats which hang against the sides
OF the head. The new effect will have
the advantage of novelty, being a fash
ion taken from the early Saxon times
and not revived since. We may look
for colts and nun-like swathing OF head
and throat. preceded by the wearing
of bands about the head, with je*eled
panels falling over the ears to the
cheek, then to the shoulder. These
panels will then increase ihwidth, JOIN
in the back. and extend under the chin
in front, and we shall then have the
outlining of the face accordihg'to what
shape we will. Then many woman
will be found beautiful who is now
plain, and many beauty will have'to
give up her charms till the fashion

as a foundation for u spreading bow
and from under II the hair extends up
and back. The pictured bonnet is for
an elderly wearer, and is made of biack
wired lace, and trimmed with lace,
small jet ornaments, and bright red
ribbon rosettes. Black velvet tie
strings complete the garniture.
An adaptation of the crescent-shaped
bonnet already described is bent
around the face sothat it outlines the
forehead, the horns sloping back sharp
lv and terminating just at the back OF
the tips OF the ears. The inner or con-
cave edge Of the crescent stands up a
little over the top of the head, but mar
rows and fattens toward the horns.
In some cases the inner edge flares,
and sometimes IL is cut into three
points which set back, one following
the rise OF the twisted hair, the other
two resting to either side of It, A
great many apparently complicated
little bijOu affairs are really simple
when you realize they are planned on
the crescent idea. The triangle, with
base set for the back and q corner 10
each side and one over the forehead, is
the crescent modified, and some ador-
able little affairs that appear to be all
perky little bows are made after this
fashion. They have bows set at each
point, and the base" sloped forward
toward the forehead point. The little
bows are all butterfly and the ends in
termingle. Bonnets of all kinds are
small.
