ICY, and he has evidently spent much
time in forcing into the baby brain a
mass of facts such as many people do
not acquire in a lifetime.
Here are some of Baby Viola's
achievements: She knows by sight and
can name the flags of % nations of the
world, the portraits of over 100 famous
men and women, representing nearly all
the schools of thought; the leaves and
seeds of a large number Of plants, all
the prominent c%olors, tints and shades;
all the states and territories of the
United States, their capitals; nearly all
the countries of the world and their cap
itals, all the prominent bones, organs and
tissues of the human body; a large num-
Der of botanical terms, over 500 pictures
of animals In zoology, 20 punctuation
marks, Webster's diacritical marks, all
the money now coined and printed by
the United States, both coins and bills,
except bills over S $1,000; the sun planets
and satellites of the solar system when
represented by an orrery; all numbers not
over 1000 and the pictures of over 1900
common articles of life.
This infant has at least 5000 nouns
in her vocabulary. When she was /
year, IL months and % days old, two
teachers in the Lake City schools exam
ined her and found that she knew $500
nouns.

HATS OF SUMMER
BY MATE LEROY.

<0T OTO% VI "
The summer hats are out in force, max
ing New York look like a perambulating
flower garden and giving to the somber
all the brown walls as the wearers move
about. The summer girl is very much in
evidence, and the laces and other frivo-
lous g-arnishments are seen as often as
the foam on the combing waves.
There are hats especially adapted for
seashore without guaze, tulle or feathers
to wilt to n~othingness under the damp.
If one wants a figure for utter and COM
plete humiliation, let that one put a piece
of tulle III water, There isn't anything
left. 1t disappears like fog before the
sun, and | have never been able to find
the slightest trace of it after.
y II the ocean mists tulle and lisse SIM
ply melt, while the most beautiful os-
frich plume loses it's curl and f%utiness
and becomes a stringy, straggly thing to
be ashamed of. So those who go down to
the seashore must have hats that are
proof against the pernicious dampness.
For them. are the rough straws or the
indestructible leghorns, with trimming cal
culated to withstand the damp.
There are no more valuable flowers for
this purpose than the field daisies. They
somehow in cloth seem to be as durable
as the flowers themselves, and think no
flower keeps longer or fresher than a
daisy.
Here is a hat of this kind in the ac-
commanding illustration. The straw is a

bunch of the flowers was set along I'M
der the brim at the left side. This was
very. dainty.
A sort of turban shape was of black
and white coarse straw, with bows of
white taffeta ribbon in front. Mingled
with his was a mass of rose foliage,
without bud or blossom, in shaded greens.
The leaves and ribbon continued clear
around the crown. Two white wings
were perched Mercury fashion at the
sides of the crown. This was an excep-
tionally elegant hat.
A quaint idea was evolved in a fine
leghorn woven with a sort of fancy
pattern in dull green and pale yellow IN
a circle around the brim. There was no
crown to speak of, a band underneath
making a resting place for the hat. Ihe
front of the brim was bent down with a
fancy buckle with black velvet center.
Other velvet loops were set upon the
top, wide and striking. An enormous
pink peony with leaves was put at
the left side. There were velvet strings
tied under the chin. | doubt the power
of a dozen hatpins to keep this hat IN
place without an elastic as well as the
strings.
Black tulle or liberty is used to make
the underside of the brim of another
hat. The brim is of coarse, rushlike
straw, with an exceedingly glossy sur
face. The brim is made double, one
brim above the other, and this permits
of much bending in and out and other
wise twisting and adapting it to the
shape of the face of the wearer.
The til rg consists of rosettes OF
the black rial and large pink pop
- - $40 ~ fhrao ninK orchids
on tall stems. A white rice straw has
a straight. round brim, but one flexible,
though left straight. A piece of white
liberty is brought around the crown and
draped to one loop at the left side. From
there it is turned around and around
and held in notches by very long stitches
on the underside.
IT looks like a whirlpool. At the back
are the very large and fluffy white
plumes. This hat is only suitable for car
rage or a garden party or for wearing
when one is sure of fair weather. IL
IS as delicately beautiful as it is fragile.
For a travelling hat there was a de-
cided novelty. The hat was OF black
Neopolitan with alternate bralds OF
rough straw. A straw lace edged It,
The crown was high, and at the PACK
was a big Alsatian bow, and, by the
way. there are quite a number OF these
seen on millinery. All aroun the front
part of the crown to the bow were snort
black cog plumes curled upward, lots OF
them, SO that It looked like a pun OF
some glossy stuff until n saw that IL
was made of feathers.
Straw boleros and turbans are seen
often, and they are trimmed according 70
personal taste or caprice. If they are
for outing or for runabout, the prefer
ence seems to be for stiff bow and a
quill or two. These are almost uni
versally becoming.
I notice on the summer girls" hat
in many instances two or three immense
ostrich plumes. always white, with extra
long fues. These require to be or the

showing a return of nearly 7 per cent,
the major works of 10, and the minor
works "a per cent. On the capital expend-

by the canals is now 5,2l4.25S acres. and
the water rate levied amounts to about
one-ninth Of the crop value. The greater
