Comprebensive Lewrninp.

Meissonier could not only paint, but
he could tell good story, and he was
especially fond Of relating this little
anecdote about his gardener, whose
horticultural knowledge was remarka-
BILE. He had little knowledge of Lat
in, which he was fond Of using in nam.
ing his plants.
Meissonier had been for a long time
skeptical about the correctness Of the
gardeners Latin, and one day he set n
trap for him by giving him the roe of
a red herring and asking him what seed
1t was.
Without the slightest hesitation the
gardener gave 1t a long Latin name
and promised that it would bloom in
about three weeks. Meissonier chuckled
to himself, and agreed to inspect the
blossoms when that time had elapsed.
At the end Of the three weeks he was
punctually on the spot, and the garden
er led him in triumph into the green
house, and pointed OFT an enormous
flower pot. There, Indeed, were the
blossoms: the heads Of six red herrings
just emerging from the dirt In the pot.
Meissonier breathed deep sigh of ad.
miration. He shook the gardeners
hand and exclaimed:
what wonderful man you are."

into the other a length with q ferrule

part of one side Of the cane may be re-
moved, revealing the strings. The
bridge, lying fat when the cane Is clos

brought into use. The pegs upon which
the strings are wound may be turned
in tuning with a key that Is carried in
the cane. The tone of the walking cane
violin Is like that Of the ordinary violin.
These walking cane instruments are

n seldom bent. rolled or punched out Of
shape. For the woman that wears her
hair severely and yet does not want
to poke her hat down on her forehead,
there Is the hat with brim that flares
slightly from the head round, resting
on roll of bright velvet SO that all the
hair shows except the top of the head
covered by the hat
Picture hats run rather more to the
fantastic than they have done Of te-
cent seasons, and are just SO much less
suitable for wear with costumes that
are not deliberately dressy. But while
there are many of these, there are
many more reasonable hats that are
picturesque enough for the ordinary
woman's needs. Ribbon wings, short
feathers, plumes, flowers. lace and fur
are all mixed on hats, even those which
do not profess to be picture affairs,
and It seems to be understood that
while a hat may harmonize with Sc
we're street gown. the general rule Is
that the hat may follow. its own
course OF color. That course may
take 1t pretty well through the rain
bow. Chenille hats are moderately
dressy. and II made to carry some late
wrinkle Of the milliner's ingenuity, will
do excellent service. The artist sketch
ed one of these desirable hats In the
next illustration. 1t was OF wired

able small hats are mere punches Of
flowers, or a wing or so caught into a
frill Of lace, velvet, satin or fur. The
ever-becoming tan" Is so modified that
all the freshness is out of 1t and all the
Jauntiness remains. A costume other
wise perfectly demure may take a
touch as unexpected and as striking as
the fash in an opal by the addition Of
saucy hat that Is, perhaps, the Only
bit of color In the rig. If you have
clever fingers you can risk making one
of these dainty affairs ''out of a corner
left over from collar" but you need
clever fingers because all the hats Of
the season, including the many different
kinds OF small ones. seem to be put to-
gether with a purpose for all their APP
parent carelessness. The first hat of
the five shown to-day had that decep-
tive look OF being thrown together hit

ming.
