FIRST GLIMPSE or EASTER HATS.
Indications Are That They Will Be Large
and Decidedly Tipped Over the Face
Must

Copyright. 1907.

Paris, March l1.-They are giving
glimpses of Easter hats on the Rue de
la Paix You see the corner of window
decorated with them; next door there will
be a large glass showcase set fun of
the enticing new millinery. Still further
along stand groups of saleswomen deco
rating the great glass houses" with at
tractive Easter displays, and another door
beyond the big blue shade will be pulled
down, meaning that there are decorators
at work-soon to lift the curtain and show
Paris and the world what an Easter hat
can be.
1t is customary every year for fashion
chroniclers to remark that hats never
were prettier." But this year there can
be a more intelligent and truthful appli-
cation of the remark. 1t is a fact, strange,
true, delightful and gratifying. that the
spring hats of 81 will excel in beauty and
bccomingness anything yet offered to the
public by either French or American mil
liners.
Another good word can be added. The
spring hat of 81 will not be as expensive
as the hats of So. And. still further-in
a record of their virtues-they will be of
the kind that can be made at home by
the woman who IS handy with colors and
fingers and scant Of dimes.
Hats will be large. That is a fact as
sured. This does not apply to the thea
ter hats, about which there is now so
much converse in the Paris newspapers,
but to the street hat the hat for shop
ping and calling, for driving and the
promenade. These hats will all be large.
Now the trouble with a large hat is
that it is not becoming to every one.
There are faces that need their own frame,
the setting" given them by hair, COM
plexion and complexion shadows These
look better when the hat is off, always
But for these the Easter hat of this
year has its modification. 1t is large, but
il is a picture hat. A woman whom |
met shopping on the Rue de la Paix was
trying on picture" hat that made her
look like a painting of a famous old
beauty. Yet she wasn't such a great
beauty herself without the hat Her face
was an oval of rather quaint outline. In
modern hat she looked badly dressed,
but in this picture hat adorable
The hat that became her was a very
large satin straw of canary hue. 1t was
coarse, yet brilliantly glossy. The front
and back bent down to touch the hair
and brow. then quickly up to clear the
head. The only trimming was a heavy
ruching of cOrn-coiored chiffon edged with
black satin. In the ribbon on each side
OF the crown were set large lunches Of

lille of turquoise blue shade. Massed
upon the hat in perfect punches Of lowell
ness was the syringa of grandmother S

such lovely syringa it was. too, scented
with sachet until it hung heavy with
sweetness and smart with the perfection
of its imitation. There must have been
twenty punches OF it.

This hat was decidedly the poem of the
window In which it was displayed, and
the most becoming TO the woman who

FORAKER KNIFING STORER
The Cincinnati Man May Not Be First
Assistant Secretary of State.
Ex-senator Cameron Possibly Booked
for Germany, While General
Draper May Go to Rome.

Senator Foraker, it would seem, has put
the knife into BellaIny Storer, of Ohio,
who wants 10 be First Assistant Secretary
of State. Mr.. Storer has been a part OF
the faction in Ohio which has been antag-
onistic to the Senator's ambitions. The
feud has been of long standing, and when
Mr. Storer was a candidate for Congress
in S92 the breach widened, butthe climax
was reached when Mr.. Storer was defeat
ed for denomination in 1894. The For
aker faction was in evidence at that time,
Taft, editor of the Times-Star, was made
the candidate.
Mr.. Storer was opposed to the election
OF Mr. Foraker TO the Senate and then the
factions were SO split up that all at
tempts to heal the wounds have proven
futile.
Senator Foraker has friends who wish
consular positions, and he does not want
First Assistant Secretary of State who
will stand between them and appointment,
as he believes Mr. Storer will do should
he be named.
What place will be given TO Mr.. Storer is
not known, nor has there been any dis
position Of his case. Secretary Sherman
has evidenced a desire to be friendly to
Mr.. Storer, and so has the President, but
to appoint him they believe would lead to
row with Senator Foraker, and that is
not desired at the present time. Therefore
hitch has occurred and what will be
the fate OF the Cincinnati ex-Congressman
is question which it may take some days
TO dispose of.
Mr.. Storer, however, has not been cast
down. He still thinks he Will win the
fight, and be assigned to the State De
partment. About year ago Mr.. Storer

GOLD STANDARD IN JAPAN

Although 1t Is Fathered by the

position TO Its Passage.

Japan is the next nation which will
tween the advocates Of gold and silver

printed that the japanese government had
adopted the gold standard, but this proves
to be incorrect. Official cable advices re-
ceived from Toxic yesterday state that
the ministry las formulated a bill for the
on the end instant this measure was n
troduced in the house of representatives
OF the Diet. u.o
The introduction OF the measure no more
foreshadows its successful passage by the
Diet than would be the case in the Amer
lean Congress The unit OF value pro-
posed is one-half OF the present gold one
yen piece and existing gold coins are
to be circulated at double their denoinina-
tional value. The dispatch contains the
further Information that the silver one yen
piece will remain in circulation until

not purposed to affect the subsidiary coins,

bill also purposes that the free coinage OF

position in the Diet More than a year
ago commission was formed, consisting
of number of gentlemen prominent in the
official, financial and mercantile world, TO
report on the advisability Of changing the
standard of value. The only effect Of the
conferences was to emphasize the widely
divergent views entertained by the several
members and the commission adjourned
without reaching Il definite conclusion
Some of the members strongly urged the
continued free coinage OF silver at 6 to /
some recommended Il ratio Of 80 10 / +,
while others stoutly affirmed their belief
in the silgle gold standard.

VANDERBILT wins HIS SUIT
The Seizure of the Yacht Conqueror
Was Illegal.
Supreme Court Holds That Yachts
Are Not DutiabIe-The Damages
Awarded Were Excessive.

In disposing of the case of the yacht
Conqueror, the property OF F. W. Wander
bilt Of New York, the Supreme Court OF
the United States yesterday announced
through Mr.. Justice Brown, its opinion
that yachts are not subject to duty under
the tariff law.
The yacht was purchased by Mr.. Van
derbilt in England, and sailed to this
country, arriving at New York in 1890
j Sloat Fassett, then collector OF the port,
was OF the opinion that she was dutiable
and seized her upon the refusal of Mr.
Vanderbilt to pay the sum demanded.
She was kept under control of the mar
shal until February, 1891, when the dis
trct court found that the vessel was not
dutiable, and that Mr.. Vanderbilt was
entitled to recover about $40. 900 from
the collector-S15 900 of which was in
the nature Of demurrage or damages in
the matter of loss of profits for the five
months the vessel was detained. The at
torney general had the case brought to
the Supreme Court OF the United States
in order that it might be decided finally
whether or not yacht was q dutiable
article.
On all grounds advanced by the Govern
ment as furnishing reasons for holding it
subject to duty the Supreme Court of the
United States decided against the conten-
ton and that the yacht could net be con-
sidered subject to duty.
Upon the matter of damages, however,
Justice Brown said the proposition that
a vessel of the value of $4,000 could be
worth $4,000 to her owner in the fall
winter months, when she would naturally
be idle, was putting such a strain on
credulity that it could not be borne.
The decree, if not a shock to th e conscience
at least suggested that the evidence upon
which it was based came from persons
very friendly to the owners. This court,
he said, did not tconsideritselfin the matter
OF damages bound by the opinion of ex-
perts. The testimony as to damages,
he said, should have been rejected. The
decree below must bereversed andthe Gaze
remanded to the district court for pro-
ceedings not inconsistent with the opinion
stated.
