One large shell that was comm
straight at the Olympia'5 fOrwar
bridge fortunately fell about 100 fee
short. One fragment cut the riggin
, exactly over the heads of Lambel

+ Another struck the bridge grating
= in line with it. A third passed ju:
. under Commodore Dewey an
) gouged hole in the deck.
. One shot struck the Baltimore an
passed clean through her, fortunate
ly hitting no one. Another rippe
up her main deck, disabled a siH
f inch gun and exploded box G
| three-pounder ammunition, wound

Aboard the Olympia the surgeon
q operating table was placed in tn
wardroom. Chaplain Frazier, wh
was assisting the Surgeon, had hi
head out of the 6-pounder gun pOr
when shell struck the ships sid
less than yard away. The chaI

to escape having it blown off, I
i the shell instantly burst.

THE WAY TO TRIM HATS.
Some Bits of Good Advice for the
Woman Who Is Her own
MiIliner.

The great fault with most miliiners
is that they weigh down their creations
with superintendent trimming and thus
make the hat topheayy in appearance
as we'll as in fact. True milliner's tai
ent makes itself manifest in the ability
to allow all the amplitude necessary for
the trimming and at the same time keep
in mind a distinct idea of proportion,
so hat the finished hat will look well
on the head. We would advise our read
ers when picking out a hat to choose
one whose characteristic form is well
marked. This rule applies to all styles
of hats, no matter for what purpose
designed. 1t is a good rule, Il safe rule,
and has been tested by experience.
To get a clear and striking outline is
not a business, but an art. Milliners
of real talent, while bowling in a general
way 10 the mandates of fashion, never
forget that 4 hat is made to be worn,
and that if it is not becoming and APP
propriate to the wearer it might better
never have been made at all. The ART
of trimming hats does not consist in
loading down the head with a monde
script assortment of plumeS. flowers,
laces and ribbons.
Let us not forget to mention also I'M
der the heading of hats that small
squares of trimming, very like tiny
handkerchiefs, of Grape, tulle and en-
broidered linen, are the proper things
this sason. Indeed, the entire hat is
often made of them. These new adorn-
ments, in many ways like small fichus,
are destined to replace the traditional
foulard, of which we have seen 50 much.
A hat fairly representative of the
style at present prevalent along the
Mediterranean is a sailor in shape and
is made of white Clipped straw. The
trimming consists of a garland of roses,
without stems or leaves, draped in a
singular manner about the crown. This
garland is intertwined with a volumi-
mouse band of white tulle, with a black
thread pattern. The brim of the hat is
faced underneath with a double plait-
ing of white tulle.
Another hat in the same style is of
sewed Italian straw. The crown is cir
cled with a succession of tufts and
knots of wide yellow ribbon, striped
with a fine black line. These knots are
fastened with tiny jet buckles.
Another form is the hood of Italian
straw, trimmed with a drapery of yel-
low tulle, studded with knots of hello
trope.-San Francisco Chronicle.
