HOW TO MAKE A PRETTY HAT.
AN ODD WAY TO UTILIZE PIECES OF LINEN

AN ODD WAY TO UTILIZE PIECES OF LINEN
CRASH AND HAIRCLOTH.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As a hat which have just made has been
admired and copied by many OF my friends | judge
It will strike the fancy and meet the requirements
OF the readers OF the Only Womans Page. and
therefore send the following description
The hat Is made Of certain light and openly
woven linen crash which Is found in the shops this
summer and is used extensively for bicycle suits
II costs Is cents yard The prim is interned with
harcloth which stifens It sufficiently at the same
time allowing 1t to droop little now and then In
way which is becoming The hat is suitable for
wear when off on country tramplng expeditions or
when riding the bicycle and Is light and cool
possible.
Required: One yard OF linen crash Of natural color.
and three -eighths of yard of good gray haircloth
For the brim OF the hat cut two circles OF the
crash twelve and a half inches In diameter. Cut
one circle OF haircoth the same size. Basic the
three together carefully Take the edge OF the hair
cloth and one layer OF the crash and turn In
scant half-inch, basting 1t carefully all around
Then turn in the edge OF the other layer OF crash.

together. preparatory to stitching on the sewing
machine Now stitch II near the edge you
can on the machine. half-inch back of that
stitch again. and on until you have four rows
Of ds S M indicate the

inches
stitched around the outside. with hole In the
middle Next take a tape measure and mark cir
Gle three inches inside OF the outer edge. You
can do this by measuring every few inches and
making little mark with pencil: then stitch
around the circle thus marked; This indicates the
proba Bile extreme size OF any desired crown.
About every inch slash the goods from the edge
OF the hole In toward this line you have marked
and stitched as deep as you require It, to make this
opening for the crown fit your head Bend up these
slashings and leave them standing. as they help
support the crown
Now cut for the crown circle of crash fourteen
inches In diameter. Turn in seam on the edge
and baste II. Now peat the crown to fit the OPEN

bias piece Of crash one and half inches wide
and fold In both edges to make a band three-quar-
ters Of an inch wide. Lay this band around the
crown. so as to cover your sewing. tackIng 1t now
and then and bring the ends together on what will
be the left side OF the hat. Cover the ends with
little stiff. fiat bow made OF piece just like the
band.
For a lining. cut bias piece OF required length
three and a half inches deep. Hem edge for
the top and sew 1t on the other edge around the
crown. This rather broad lining. together with the
slashings. keeps the crown In a more, or less up
right position which gives character to the hat.
BY removing the crown the hat can be laundered
perfectly. ID. j. FISH.

He received the sentence with smile OF
satisfaction.
In sentencing the prisoner Judge Broad
dus said: THE crime which you nave
confessed is the worst l ever heard of.

Carr had nothing to say. He is raw
boned backw oodsman. His crime was
most cold bloodeG. On October 10 las, he
carried his child from III liberty TO a point
near Kansas City. He tied her arms and
legs securely with cord. paid no atten-
ton to the little ones query, What are
you going to do, papa?' and threw her
into the river, alter weighing the body
down with stones. Carr was soon arrest

had 'too many children" and that his
wife wanted the little one gotten rid OF.
He declared. however, that Mrs. Carr had
no baud in the murder.

Ranch.
His Charred Remains Found
in the Embers of His
Dwelling.
Ne'gt borS Advance the Theory
That He Was Murdered for
His Gold.
special Dispatch to The CALL

SANTA ROSA, Nov. 16 6-James Porter,
a wealthy old bachelor residing about
four miles from this city, was roasted
alive in the flames that consumed his
dwelling, and his remains-a mere hand
full of chaIred and crumb bling bones-now
occupy place within the city Morgue.
1t is thought by many that were the
mystery of the old mans death made
known murderer would stand convicted
OF an awful crime.
1t was after midnight Yesterday that
Joseph Watson. farmer living near the
Porter ranch, arose to give medicine to a
sick child and saw the SKY in the direc-
tion of Porter's lesidence brightly iIlumin-
ated. Hurriedly dressing he started for
the scene. giving the alarm at one or two
farmhouses on the way. When the
frightened neighbors arrived the roof had
fallen in and the walls were tottering.
Nothing could be done 10 save the struc-
ture.
When a thorough search of the ranch
failed 10 reveal The wherea oouts of the
owner fears were expressed that he had
perished IN he flames and as soon as the
ruins could be searched this was found to
be the case. In corner OF what had been
the old man Kitchen pie OF cracking
bones was found. While they had lost all
semblance to the human form it was
known then that Porter had met an
awful fate.
As Porter was known TO have been q
wealthy man and lived alone and as lie was
known to have received a large sum of
money on q mortgage only short time
ago. the theory was soon dvanced that
the Old man had been muI uIdered for his
gold. Sheriff Alien and his d puties were
at once notified and lost no time in hur-
rying to the scene. A large butcher knife
wa found almost directly under the
chsrred bones constituting the remains,
and a few other circumstances that were
by some woven into bits OF evidence were
noted, but the officers are uncom munica-
tive and the tire did its ork so thorough y
that it is doubtful if the real truth will
ever be known.
A Coroner's Jury this afternoon, alter
visiting he scene, returned v.rdict OF ac-
cidental death, and Public Admtnlstrat or
Young will at once lake charge of the
property.
AS far as known the deceased had nc
relatives in this locality. He was ma
tive OF Norway. "A years of age and came
10 California about ten years ago, settling
on the little ranch where he met his death
He lived alone and died alone, and, while
he had many friends, he kept his own
counsei. The mystery of his awful death
will o doubt be buried with his bones.
