AN ANARCHIST For GOVERNOR
Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, is a can

SUMMER MILLINERY.
Hats of Large Proportions Decked With
 Big and Brilliant Flowers.

Hsts of Large Proportions Decked With
 Big and Brilliant Flowers.
 Summer millinery as seen in the shops is quite beyond detailed descrip- tion, for as the season advances the hats assume larger proportions and are decked with flowers which seem to have grown with the hat. Immense roses, poppies, camellias and velvet morning glories of size and brilliancy of color which must make the real blossoms hid their heads are con- spicuous feature of trimming on these large hats, which fortunately are in- tended for country, not city wear. Medium-sized hats and smaller toques and bonnets are the shapes which pre- vail at present. Some of the jauntiest little toques have a brim which turns up around the crown, giving it the ef- feet of turban, and they are trimmed with rosettes and loops of velvet, or of satin ribbon, with full aigrettes cut at each side to give them width.
 The new straws come in every imag- inable color, plain, shot and plaided, but the most popular hats for midsum- mer are butter color. Loops of straw are used for trimming, and with bows of black satin ribbon and black wings, or with white ribbon and white wings, they are very stylish and serviceable for seaside wear, and when trimmed with flowers and Dresden ribbon they are dainty enough for the most dressy gown.
 Panama hats trimmed with velvet and pheasant's wing, are useful hats at the seashore, where perishable things will not survive the dampness of one day. A large and becoming hat for a young woman is of shot green rustic straw, trimmed across the front with an immense bow of green glace short ribbon. The trimming at the back consists of black ostrich feathers and huge pink roses. A shot green and purple rustic straw, with high crown and modulating brim, is trimmed with green gauge ribbon, shaded roses, and lace butterflies on the brim.
 White wings are used with flowers on hats of yellow, rough straw with medium wide, straight brims. The flowers extend around and partly over the crown and we'll out on the brim. Huge bows of colored .taffeta ribbon are often the only trimming on hats which closely resemble the sailor in shape. Brown straws trimmed with yellow or blue flowers are very popu- far, and shaded grasses are tied into unique loops, which are used with rib- bon. Nasturtiums, deep pink poppies with black velvet centers, orchids and lilies of the valley are among the new flowers for summer hats. and added to these are aigrettes of green barley.- N. r. Sun.

were absolutely the prettiest and most summery toilettes have yet seen. One was very sheer pink and white striped lawn, made with trimming of narrow yellow lace, used both as an edging and insertion. The skirt had seven bands of this insertion placed on the deep Spanish rufie, reaching to the knee, and the bodice had full blouse front, strapped with lace, while the sleeves were the leg-o-mutton shape, with no adornment. The belt fastened to the skirt, which was worn over the bodice, was of pink and white ribbon, and the collar was also fashioned of this fasten- ing at the back with a small bow.
 A red and white gingham, with white accessories, was remarkably chic, and the red was pure cerise.
 Of the three, my favorite was green and white--a pale, apple green, with heavy white flowers scattered all over the green ground. Over silk lining of the same shade of green the effect was charming, and yet it was dress not to be easily described. It seemed mass of soft folds and stiff bows, with touch of coquetry looking out through the knots of ribbon placed around the collar in a perfect frill.
 One of the prettiest afternoon toi- lets was a gray crepon with access sories of white. Yes, again white, and it is not an exaggeration to say that out of ten frocks eight have white as a trimming. It is so very popular that although it is so easily soiled dress maker and dress wearer are in favor of it, changing the ribbon often three times during the season. It is never used lavishly, so that collar, belt and cuffs can be renovated without much expense or effort. A d- lying cape of gray satin completed this afternoon costume, and the daintiest of toques, just touched with spray of green foli- age, was the head ornament. Several beautiful parasols there were also to match, and a pretty neck piece of roses was particularly fetching with stiff black and rose silk gown.

The words of "Hail Columbia" or the Presidents March," were written by Judge Joseph Hopkinson, son of B signer of the Declaration of Independ snce, in 17ee, when war with France seemed imminent, to help out q young vocalist who was about to have ben eft in Philadelphia. The most popu- lar march of the day was made the vehicle of his patriotic lines. Itcaught the public ear, and now shares with the "Star Spangled Banner" the hon ors of national hymn. Tho latter came into existence, as everybody knows, at the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the war of 1912. and was also adapted by Francis Scott Key to popular melody. The tune known on this side of the water as America" and on the other as God Save the King" was appropriated from the En glish, who, according to French claims, borrowed it from across the channel, where it had been used for centuries as vintage hymn in the south of France.
