Indeed, some say that this will be a
white summer, and one is almost in
clined to believe it, with the quantities
of white shirt waists, white lawn and
null dresses, to which are now added
white hats.
Rice and satin straw is seen the
most, with a promise of Leghorn for
the summer. The shapes are a kind of
modified bergere; that is, they are
rounder or wider at the sides, and the
brim is not quite so long in front
They are trimmed with folds and
twists of tulle and chiffon, large ehif-
fon rosettes and punches of white silk
and velvet flowers, peoples, orchids,
lilies, etc, appearing in purest white
White yiolets are also very popular.
The white lisse ruchings which are
now so extensively used on hats are
the daintiest things imaginable, and
it seems as if fairy fingers are re-
quired to sew them. The ruehings are
very decorative, and are used as a
banding ON straw braids, as we'll as
on tulIe. They come in all black and
all white, as well as in black edged
with white, and vice versa.
A very pretty hat was in two shades
of brown. 1t was a light golden
brown straw braid. about one and a
half inches wide, banded in the centre
with white lisse ruching, and in and
out of the straw was twisted a darker
brown tulle. The entire toque was
made Of this twisted tulle and straw
and the trimming consisted of bunch
of pink rose buds, with velvet leaves

fluffy mass of black mousseline-de-so sole
threaded with lisse ruchings At one
side was a bunch of scarlet rosebuds
leaning against a many-looped bow OF
scarlet taffetas ribbon.
For many seasons the modest violet
has been the flower universally chosen
for our hats, but our fashion-makers
are endeavoring to teach us the beau
ties and distinctions of the many-hued
pansies. The latter have begun to as
sert themselves, and also seem to have
caught the fancy of many, for we see
them in most beautiful coloring in
all the stores, and giving finishing
touches to all the latest Partisan i'm
portations. But whether these gorge
ously colored flowers will permanent

mains to be seen. | have my doubts
about 1t; for the very simple reason
that the hats OF violet straw, trimmed
with great punches of purple violets,
are so very fetching.
One of these hats Of violet straw

1t is the beginning of the horseless

Paris has had the first place in this
line of progress. There are over two

COMPRESSED AIR MOTOR GARR1A1E
So universal has the motor become

surrounding country use it for carry

The new coaches for Fifth avenue

there will be coal carts and lighter
wagons for general express and de-

The passing of the horse would mean

Hat Tricks BY M. P.'S.
london Alail.l

That members of parliament should
be allowed to wear their hats in The
house has often surprised foreign visit
ors to the historic chamber.
| 1t is lucky for a great many members
that the rules of debate, while demand :
ing the wearing of a hat, make no pro-
visions as to the character the head
gear shall take. The obvious result is
that the variety of parliamentary hats
is wonderful and vast.
But 1t is not so much the character of
parliamentary hats as the manner in
which they are worn that is of interest
Some truly marvellous balancing feats
are performed with hats during every
session.
A. j. Balfour and the Duke of Devon
shire can balance their hats on the
bridge of their noses as if they had
been weaned practicing the feat The
Duke of Devonshire is especially clever
in this way, and it is very difficult to
say whether he is not dezing peacefully
behind the ample brim tilted over his
nose.
1t has been said that the leader of
the house of commons deliberately sets
trap for his adversaries, by pretend
ing to sleep in the shadow of his hat
brim, so they can fall into error and
he can pounce upon them.
Another wonderful trick is that per-
formed by Tim Healy, who balances
the front brim of his hat upon the
bridge of his pincenez in a way few
men could accomplish the task. 1t is
one of the unmistakable signs that
trouble is brewing up in the immediate
neighborhood of Mr.. Healy's seat. 1t
practically amounts to an ultimatum to
the government, one which the party
whips must not ignore.

Pats Reasoning.
New York World.)

l
| Some years ago an Irishman named
Pat Noonan had a vegetable stand in
one of the city markets. Pat was a
chronic kicker for what he considered
p! his rights" and at the same time
about as shrewd and witty a specimen
of the Emerald islander as could be
found in a weeks travel outside of the
'ould DART and no matter how awk-
ward a predicament he found himself
| in, his mental quickness generally
showed him a way out.
One day he was complaining TO the
superintendent of the market that the
rent of his stall was altogether too
high. and, after giving various reasons
why ii should be materially reduced,
he wound up by soiemnly declaring
that he was losing at least $1,000 a
year
We'll Pat, if that's the case" said
the superintendent, dryly. I'D advise
you to sell out and quit the business
at once. You certainly can't afford to
keep on if you are running behind 81, 0c0

"Shure. an 1 know it, said Pat.
philosophically: the business is ruinin'
me intirely. but l moight ez well sthi"k

The superintendent concluded to ,ow-
er Mr.. Noonan's rent and allow him 10
remain in the vegetable business.

WAR.
CBy Jonathan c. Row.

(By Jonathan C. Royle.)
Fling forth our banner in the van,
Upon the battlefield at large,
Now, for the conflict, man to man,
Left-into line-draw Sabres-chargei
The words are spoken-and the tread
OF iron hoofs now beat the plain,
And quick a harvest of the dead
Is planted where should wave but grain.
How many hearts in all that host,
In that mad charge, once think of God,
How many priceless souls are lost
Between the saddle and the sword,
Accused war, by demons led
Who haste before with hideous yell,
To greet he swiftly coming dead
And widen out the gates of hell.
Nayi tell me not that we must fight
To bring to pass Gods just DEGREES,
The Prince of Peace finds no delight,
In scenes Of carnage such as these.
God makes the wrath of man TO praise
Him" even where that wrath is sin,
But needs no human arm to raise
Its strength for vict'ries he would win.
War is no theme for idle sport:
1t ever comes with pois' nous blight,
Save as the very last resort
OF nations battling for the right.
The battling hosts may wade in gore,
or swim upon its crimson foam,
But waves of darker anguish pour
Upon the spot which men cail home.
For every soldier that is slain.
Some household mourns for dreary
years,
And thus is multiplied the pain.
And woeful rivers spring from tears.
And what is glory, tell me. you.
Who touch the harp in loudest strains?
The odd Guard fell at Waterloo
\ charge" swept DER the Crimean
plains.
But of them all. l bid you name
A dozen of these heroes brave;
And if thou can'st not. what is fame?
Sleeps 1t not also in the grave?
Do justice to thy fellow man.
To all who ask it. mercy give
Adopt the heaven-inspired plan.
Unspotted from the world to live
And you better fame shall find
Come nearer the Eternal Heart
And when you leave this earth behind
Upon eternal glory start.

LIVING PICTURES,

The Herald printed a local story the
other day describing P. H. Lannan's
efforts to organize a new political party
out of Gentiles and the Tribune branch
of young Utah" reputed to be the per-
sonal following of George Q. Cannon
in the dominant church.
Naturally our morning contemporary
went into commissions over the publicity
given the matter, but it was careful to
deny nothing Instead. it pleaded
guilty and gave an illustration OF the
truth of the story. IN two brief edi-
torials it gave an exhibition of P. H.
Lannan's personal animosity towards
A. W. MCune; it dragged Judges Pow
eys and King into the discussion just
as MIR. Lannan is reported to be do
ing around the streets ten hours of
every day: 1t appealed to Senator Neb-
Aker and tried to softsoap him, just as
Mr.. Lannan is said to do every time he
meets that gentleman on the street; it
defended George @. Cannon, and tried
to make out that Tanners church
troubles of two years standing grew
out of the senatorial contest of last
winter: It showed tendency to shield
Mr.. Cannon. although its friendship for
other members of the dominant church
is considerably below par.
In short, there wasn't plea our
neighbor made that its proprietor
hasn't been making around the streets
of Salt Lake City for two months in
working up its party for the next mu-
nicipal campaign.

its politician is as good as a living pic

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES
Reeds Admission to the Bar.

The Washington correspondent of the
Indianapolis Sentinel relates the fol-
lowing about Thomas B. Reeds initial
experience with the law: 1t was at a
dinner given at the Shoreham hotel by
Mr.. Richard C. Kerens of ST. Louis.
The writer was introduced to Mr.. Reed,
and, learning that was associated with
the California press, asked: is old
Judge Wallace alive YETI" and then
related the following good story of how
he was admitted to the bar. 1t is an
old story. but in this connection will
bear repetition.
Il was a school teacher when 1 con-
cluded TO study law. After months of
hard study l appeared fearfully before
Judge Wallace for my examination.
Without preliminaries whatever, or a
single word by way of preface. he in
quired suddenly: Young man. is the
legal tender act CONSTITUTIONAL
promptly replied: Yes, sir
Then you're admitted to the bar
said he : A young man who was here
Just before You (the sheriff of Tuolumne
county, said that it was not. l admitted
him also. Always glad to admit young
men TO the bar who can answer great
constitutional questions off-hand.'
w nen the laugh had subsidized, Mr..
Reed continued: How well l remem-
Der the first fee l received. Twenty-Five
dollars in coin, and how proud 1 was as
l jingled it in my pocket. 1 received it
for defending a Mexican charged with
murder.
Il think, as 1 look back on that day
when l jingled that gold money in my
pocket, my very own money, aand the
first that 1 ever earned at law. that it
was the proudest and happiest moment
of my life.'
There was a silence around the table
in order to give Mr.. Reed a few mo-
ments of reverie. Then the silence was
broiin abruptly by Mr.. Kerens.
But you haven't told us what be-
We're defending

did against it. he could not overcome
the feeling of nausea, and at last he
was conquered. In fact so severe was
the attack that he became frantic.
Presently he gasped. For goodness
