TRIMMED HATS.

This week we shall make a sDe-

artistic examples of a milIiner's art,
very temptingly priced. Hats for
evening wear, hats for driving, re-
ceptions or for theaters, exclusive
hats for every occasion Of social
nature and for commonplace every
day wear. There are imported hats
and hats from our own work rooms
that equal them for beauty, design
and exclusiveness, but no matter
how exclusively a hat may be il it
lacks a certain touch it hasn't
"style," and that is where the art
of our rnilliners is apparent. They
give that small refining touch and
daintiness for which our hats are
noted. We have been told by those
who know that there is a peculiar
style to our hats that makes the
woman who wears them feel salts
fed with herself, she knows that
the hat is right-correct in every
detail and with all this hat pref
tiness and hat elegance here, there
is that uniformity of low prices
which has popu1arized the whole

DISTRIBUTING CHARITY.
How the Chicago Police Handled
the Work.

The City of Chicago has taken the ini-
tiative step in a work of relief that un-
doubtedly will be followed by other
cities, and I wish to give briefly an
account of the work done during the
cold spell of last winter The relief of
the poor of the city has for many years
past been handled by the county; but
as the appropriation for this year was
small, it was impossible to cover the
ground thoroughly; so when our ex-
treme cold spell came on III January,
Mayor Swift realized that something
must be done. and at once. He felt sat-
isfied that the citizens would gladly re-
spond to his request for cash contribu-
tons, if they We're assured that the con-
tributiOns would be properly used. He
therefore called the heads of the Police
Department together on Monday, jan
uary 25th, and a. hurried consultation
was held and plans made for quick
service. 1t was decided that the depart
ment should be utilized for ascertaining
information of destitute cases, and for
the immediate relief of such cases. We
decided to give each family of four or
less, five pounds of fresh beef, five
pounds of corn meal, five pounds of
beans, five pounds of peas, one loaf of
bread for each member Of the family,
and two hundred pounds Of coal; and
double that amount for a large family.
During the first week we were not very
particular in investigating the cases
reported. We simply wanted to know
that the persons Were in destitute cir
cumstances, and that they were without
means to provide sustenance and fuel.

''Well, won't SELL answered the
man in the corner house decidedly. Il
