Connecticut Hats.

The Connecticut wooden nutmeg is,
of course, myth, but a Connecticut
man has just patented machine for
making hats out of wood. A log Of
wood, cut square. fed to the machine,
Is converted into fine strips of wood,
much resembling excelsior. 1t is
claimed that when these are moistened
they can be woven much more readily
than straw, and make durable hat.
The inventor says the substance is
lighter in weight than straw, and that
because of the easier manipulation and
lower cost 1t will supersede the straw
now used for headgear.

Czarint All the Woman Question.
The influence OF the Russian empress
Is strongly felt in the sphere OF intel
lectual progress. She has manifested
great interest in the growth OF the
woman movement, and in court circles
this subject is one that engrosses much
attention. It is related that a meet
ing Of feminists was recently about to
be held in the capital, and that the
empress was anxious to obtain fuller
information about the precise aims OF
advanced Russian women than she was
likely TO get from the st. Petersburg
press. The ladies Of the court, as well
as the GEAR himself, we're questioned on
the subject, but at that time their
knowledge of the matter was not very
extensive. The empress therefore dis
patched one of her secretaries to the
meeting, with orders to take full re-
port OF the proceedings. This she has
ALSO done on every similar occasion
subsequently, so there is every appear
ance that the court will now be kept

the pioneers OF feminism in Russia.

MRS. SAGE AND BLOoMERS.
wife of the Great Financier Is In Favor
of the Bifurcated Dress.

of the Bifurcated Dress.
Mrs. Russell Sage has pronounced for
boomers, says the Boston Herald, not
only for bicycle use, but for wear gen.
orally. She thinks that woman needs
street or walking dress which can be
worn on every outdoor occasion, and
dress that must do away with long
skirts and petticoats. "If," she says,
woman will follow the pursuits OF man
she must have practical costume. She
can not wait to grasp her skirts IL she
must catch hold OF particular railing
to leave a street car. She can not get
on a chair to wind the clock without
danger from her skirts" She can not
see how a woman should think OF rid
ing bicycle without wearing boomers.
The conventional woman dress should
only be kept for the opera, the dinner
party, the club luncheon, and such
other occasions, and should be for
women what the clawhammer attire is
for men. She thinks that the knell OF
the long skirts, which she character
ICES as dangerous as well as inconven-
tent, has sounded, but she adds that
women can only afford to sacrifice the
grace OF the skirts at the altar of neces-
sity." But why all this arguing, and
why not adopt boomers incontinently?
The principal opposition with which
they met has been from the comic pa
pers and the newspaper paragrapher.
and poor, prosecuted woman has sur
vived all the fun they poked at bangs,
at hoopskirts, at big hats and their
hearse-like, tall ostrich plumes, and at
all the other fashions that have, from
time TO time, been so dear to femininity.
Let those who covet boomers for ev-
eryday wear don them without more
ado, and thus show the courage of their
convictions. The chances are, however.

sex can not bring themselves to re-

Rehearslng the wedding Ceremony.

One of the oldest customs in modern so
ciety is that of conducting a rehearsal of
the wedding ceremony in church. 1t gives
a curiously theatrical air to the event and
surely does something to lessen the so
lemnity of what should bU the most sacred
moment in two lives. This preliminary
practice no doubt causes the actual cere
mony to proceed with a smartness sug-
gestive of machinery, but there is loss
in sentiment and in religious feeling. A
lutte more simplicity in the arrangements
would obyiate the necessity of rehearsals.
What with maids of honor and flower
girls, to say nothing of bridesmaids and
all the other adjuncts, some modern wed
dings are more like stage functions than
anything else

as there was nothing going on at the ho

strolled down to the beach, where the surf
was pounding in with terrific din. The
tide was at lowest ebb, and SO had quite
a long walk to reach the waters edge.
For awhile / watched the breakers rolling
over each other and then 1 started for a
little walk along the sand but few feet
from the water.
Presently l was surprised on looking
around to find number of very small and
almost transparent fish, which took to

washed up by the surf, but in a moment |

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 81. -Ex United
States Senator James G. Fair worth S40-
100000, died at the Lick House on Satur-
day. He had been in poor health for some
time. The death was surprise to the
community, the seriousness of his illness
having been kept u secret. Fair had been
in bed since Monday. For several hours
before the end came he was unconscious.
The doctors said that death was due to
diabetes and Bright disease
James Graham Fair was born near Bel
fast, Ireland, Dec. 3,1S3l, and came to this
country in 1913, settling with his parents
IN illinois, and went to California in 1S49,
Until 1860 he was engaged in mining, and
amassed a great fortune. In 1881 he was
elected to the United States senate to
succeed Senator sharon and served one
term. 1t was while in Washington that
his wife, whom he had married in 1862
applied for divorce, alleging infidelity. The
case was compromised, Mrs. Fair being
awarded S5,UOO,OO0 and the senator's mag.
uitcent mansion at Menlo Park. San Fran.
cisco, worth about $l,OJO,0OO. The two
ever after lived apart, and Mrs. Fair died
a few years ago.
Mr.. Fair leaves 1926, coo to charitable in
stituttOns. The bulk of his fortune goes
to his three children, including his only
son, Charles, whom he had disinherited q
few months ago because the young mar
married against his wishes All his rela
tives, however, are handsomely provided
for.
