mind, the officials took the dog to Mill
Village.
The dog was then given tiny shoe
that had been worn by the child the
day before she disappeared. This he
held in his mouth for a minute. Then
he dropped it and shifted the air. He
seemed puzzled, and the knowing ones
were beginning to remark that they
knew the hound would not be of any
use.
It really seemed as if the animal un
derstood their words, for he suddenly
put his nose to the ground and was
off like q shot, dragging his keepers
after him. On he went, crossing roads,
fields and timber stretches, until he
reached Devils camp" point about
a mile below Rutland, where there is
a small mill stream. Here the animal
suddenly brought up at the edge OF
the wafer, gave one long bark, and re-
fused to go further.
Then the men got to work. They
procured hooks and poles, and the bed
of the stream was thoroughly searched.
All this time Pilot stood by the water
side, though attempts were made to
drag him away. For the first time
since he had been in the state he re-
fused to obey the voice of his keeper.
Toward night the body of the missing
child was found. As it was drawn
to the shore, Pilot sprang forward.
took the Shiny dress in his mouth, and,
raising the child as tenderly as though
it had been in it's mothers arms, trot-

the head that its presence is not con-
tinual reminder and a discomfort as
well.
A great many round hats with rather
shapes serves merely as a basis for the
arrangement of trimmings more or less
elaborate. One hat is of felt, with
velvet facing. The trimming is of a
scarf of velvet, something more than a
quarter of yard wide. This is put ON
in loops, rolls and puffs, and very large
velvet roses are pressed closely into
the spaces between the loops; q heron
aigrette stands up at one side. Another
hat has rather narrow brim and low
crown. \ mass of loops and puffs Of
spotted velvet is arranged so as almost
to cover the crown. Between the velvet
and the brim are plaitings of lace; I'M
derneath there is a crimped ruching of
chiffon. An untrimmed hat is made Of
broadcloth. The brim is of plated
stripes of the cloth; the crown is i'll
Tam O'Shanter fashion. This is to be
trimmed with a scarf, few roses and
an aigrette or a bunch of ostrich plumeS
An English hat has a rather wide, stiff
brim and a crown that flares toward the
upper part in the shape of a funnel.
The space between the top of the crown
and the brim is to be entirely filled in
with trimming. A dressy hat of felt
has brim made of gimp. The crown is
Tam O'Shanter shape and is edged with
gimp. The trimming for this is a silk
scarf and a number of quilts.
A novelty hat has the crown made
entirely of gimp, with brim of plated
velvet edged with gimp. This is to be
trimmed with roses, lace and aigrettes.
A round hat of velvet has the crown
and brim concealed by lace in soft plaits
and puffs. A large bunch of ostrich
plumes stands up from the back. An
English walking-hat of felt has the
brim bound with velvet. The trim
ming is a large bow of velvet with
gold buckle. Birds-of- Paradise feath-
ers finish the side. A velvet hat has a
crown of one shade and the brim of
another. The upper and lower edges of
the brim are finished with fat folds of
scarlet velvet, the black of the crown
showing between the bands in a mar
row fold. Rosettes are made of velvet
ribbon. These are mounted on wires
and have a black middle like flower.
They remind one of Black-eyed Susans
in shape and general effect.
There are many pretty ornaments
that one can make for millinery with
but little material and at a trifing eX-
pense. Some strong wire, few rose
centers and a box of old artificial flow
ers will furnish material out of which
one may evolve some exceedingly pretty
things. a very handsome trimming is
made from iridescent velvet and feath-
ers. The velvet is cut in the shape of
long petals, not unlike those on the
field daisies, but very much larger.
These are provided with little tip or
stem, and are set around one of the rose
centers and securely fastened by wind
ing the little stems with thread. Then
the petals are curved backward by
drawing them over a knife very much
as one curls ostrich plumes. - n. Y.

The Latest In Ladies' Headwesr for the

Early winter.
Felt and velvet are. as usual, the pop
ular materials for late autumn and win

fine fabrics of various kinds, embroid-
cred, braided or crimped, and there are
few stamped and printed hats, some
what eccentric, and not altogether 50
becoming as the conservative mind
might desire.
1t can scarcely be said that any one
style prevails beyond another, except
that crowns are moderately low, and
brims moderately wide.
Given this state of things, and such
infinite variety prevails in the makeup,
the material, the trimming and the
general effect that almost every hat
turned out by a stylish designer Is
type In itself. The one thing to keep
in mind is to make the headgear, what
ever style and material may be selected.

Unusual care is being taken in the
latter item, as an uncomfortable hat is
