Large Hats stiil Larger, but Brims Usually
Narrow at the Back.
The Princess dress is very popular
In Paris, and many handsome gowns Of
velvet and silk for weddings and othei
dressy occasions are cut in this style
Wide ribbons, plated chiffon, lace,
and flowers in great profusion will
constitute the main feature of hat
trimming, and black hats will be very
popular, despite the fact that brilliant
color characterizes the finish of straw
hats. a
Lightness seems to have been the
main effect Of the designers In hats
this season, and 1t can be boon to all
womankind IL the milliners do not off
set this by loading the hats with trim
ming. japanese rush and Japanese
straw help out the variety In light
weight effects, and Panama hats will
be much worn for cycling.
The fancy for one-sided effects on
bodices has extended to the back as
well as the front, and evening gowns
do not escape this mode altogether
yet it can hardly become popular
since it in so many cases interferes
with the graceful outline of the figure
Lapping one side Of the back, just o
little past the middle, in a cluster of
small plaits, is the most successful
method of accomplishing this end, and
the dressmaker will tell you that 1t is
a very becoming style.
Large hats are even larger than they
were in the fall, and the crowns are
medium broad and medium in height
The brim is usually narrower at the
back than at the front, but some
shapes widen at the sides where the
brim turns up, and others turn up at
the back, with plumes underneath the
brlm. There are fluted brims in every
shape imaginable, but the old sailor
shape in the new light braids bids fail
to head the list of popular hats.

In Paris he may receive as many
francs per night as he gets dollars in
New York. but the difference is readily
perceivable.
At the same time the demands upon
,... artist are greater in New York and
all over the United States than on the
Continent. In Europe three or four
operas will be selected for the season
and these only will be given. In New
York nightly change Of bill is de-
manded. with matinee.
1t is true that the season Is longer on
this side of the water than on the 9TH
err and herein lies the value to the ar
tist who comes here from Europe. He
has the opportunity of making more
money than on the Continent, although
at the same time it Is true that his ex-
penses are much greater here. In this
way it may be said the great salaries
paid here are in q measure equalized
by the smaller salaries paid in Europe.
/ may, perhaps, be permitted to give
you an instance. If | am singing in
London, a shilling will pay my cab
fare from my hotel to the opera house.
In New York, say am stopping at the
Savoy, | pay S. for carriage to and
from the Metropolitan Opera House.
Everything else is in proportion.
You cannot wonder, then, why opera
tic salaries are higher in the United
States than in Europe There are long
distances to travel, frequent rehears-
ais because of the more extensive re-
pertolre, and more work to be done in
every way. One is also expected to
be proficient in three languages. There
Is greater number of performances,

Frequently wheelman finds the
tire of his bicycle Debated, and imme-
diately begins to look for n puncture.
A hole in the tire is not always the
source of the trouble, however, as the
leak may come from defective valve.
An easy way to test this is to fill a
wine glass or narrow tumbler with
water, then turning the wheel so that
the valve is at the highest point, place
the rim Of the glass against the wheel
so that the mouth Of the valve stem Is
covered by the water. A leak, how
ever slight, will make itself manifest
by the bubbles appearing on the top of
the water. The cause of the trouble
may often be removed by working the
plunger inside the valve stem up and
down few times with the point of
the cap or with lead pencil. Initiating
or debating tire several times will
also frequently cure leaky valve. II
neither Of these remedies has the de.
sired effect, the case Is one for the re.
pair man to attend to.

HAS REFORMED.

Eugene V. Debs in a recent speech
told his audience in plain language
that he did not favor the use of the
dagger or the torch, that he did not
advocate arson and assassination and
that he repudiated the talk of revolu-
ton. He declared that violence and
bloodshed had no part in the plans of
the social Democracy. It is gratify-
ing to know that Mr.. Debs, who is
largely responsible for more violence,
bloodshed and arson during the Chi
cago riots than any other single man,
has reformed. 1t is we'll to know that
he has been taught the lesson that it
pays to keep a civil tongue in his head.

there is white settler with good i'm

him to make a speech. He told them
that he had nothing to say but had
