green oranges with their
leaves, and lemons also
furnish another delightful
variety Of the cool-looking
color. ALI these are combined
in the most fascinating way
with bows Of lovely shaded
ribbon, which, with the veil
draped over in a tasteful man
ner, renders the whole 'crea-
ton an object Of the most
striking beauty regular
midsummer dream, in fact.
A most glorious model is
the one from Doucet. 1t is of
thick blue paille which has
two bias handsome under the
brim-of velvet, the one OF
the edge Of yellow, or to be
more exact, orange color, and
the other Of blue.
On the left side and on the
top is an enormous bunch Of
oranges, four of yellow, and
four of green-with an ex-
travagant showing of leaves.
To go with the hat, Paquin
modelled, is a very clever
paletot Of gray cloth that has
a most enchanting sheen, and
green in coloring. The whole
is most effectively trimmed by
embroidery done in yellows
and blues, and further beauti-
fed by steel buttons. Straw
berries are also quite the prop
er thing of garniture, proba-
bly, because they look so delici-
Gus with beige, which is, of
course, one of the very much
approved colors of the season.
Hats, however, of extrav-
agant chic in Paris are worn
we'll off the face, the front
arching over an immense
showing Of hair, and they are
quite suggestive of "pokes."
The backs are another aston
ishing revelation. The brims
are deeper than the eye has
been accustomed to, and are
pressed close down to the
head.
While these poke shapes are
very much modified as yet, in
deed, nothing need to be more
surprising than to awaken any
day and again find the poke
bonnet installed in it's old
place. Entire crowns are

Kept Busy Waking False Gods

of the cheaper kinds-but the more pre-
tentious and expensive gods are made in
France, Germany and England, In fac
tories, the existence of which nobody on
this side Of the world has hardly ever
dreamed.
In the heart Of the metropolis of the
Midlands is the English factory; there Is
another at Mines, France. and one at
Griez. In Germany. The orders are sent
direct to these establishments from Zan-
guebar. so hat there is need for no sur
prise If their existence Is unknown. The
business Is unique, since"it has 40 COM
petitors and nobody travelling about Eu-
rope for orders.
III very best of the idols come from the
English factory, since 1t is situated In the
worlds center for hardware and nickel
stuff, and where gold and silver articles
are made every week by the thousand,
and where the greater bulk of the worlds
metallic production is consigned.
The tribes of the Senegambian district
of Africa believe that every misfortune
proceeds from and can only be averted by
their gods, so that in order to propitiate
them the poor misguided souls have their
fetishes or idols made in rich metals; that
is the general practice. A. chief will read
lily pay 500 barrels of palm oil for the ma
tive fetish, which may consist OF a
gOld-caSed monster IN the Shape OF a
fendish lead with light eyes, or a SER
pent with three heads fixed to a long pole
OF ivory.
The Solomon island tribes do not usually
erect their idols in the open; they are
placed inside the houses n are mon
strosities of the more sober sort than
those of most of the tribes. The gods are
fishes, snakes and birds. The natives are
good customers of the god merchants,
who received from them for an ornamen-
tai fetish fish, the outlines of which are
foreign to the naturalist, perhaps two or
three c~rocodiles, either parcel being worth
about $125, while for q carved ivory bird,
which resembled more a dog than a bird.
diamonds and gold nuggets to the value
of $3.50 settled the bill Of King Benpar-
massin Of Molucca.
The European-made gods cost any sum
from $3.50 to 5000.
In the valley of the Mombas there Is in
every village what Is called a sacred
house, which contains, among grewsome
objects, many priceless treasures, though
fearfully ugly things in the way of idols.
The natives call them Ntzhugh," and
they consist Of human heads fastened on
q pole, with precious stones and gold and
silver bars or plates ingeniously inserted
in the face. figures of ions and ~.alligators
Of the most outrageous description. but
nevertheless made Of gold and smothered

various animals encased in gIittering
frames composed Of diamonds. Most of
these fetishes are made to order in Bir-
miEgham, England, which city has sent to
the East African, Congo, Gaboon and
other tribes hundreds of idols.
There are hundreds of gods worshiped
by savages there being at least one for
every conceivable happening known to
humanity, n they range in size from
one inch to 100 feet high. The s%trangest
god Of all Is "Kisuka," who Is the terror
and the love at the same time of the
Gebcon blacks. He looks like an ordi-
nary scarecrow. judging by the quantity
of feathers and old rags with which the
body Is dressed up. As a matter of fact,
however, the great god, which stands
some nine feet high, is INDEPENDENTLY
at Mines, In F~rance-out of solid coDples
Of gold, and though the carving takes hid
ecua lines, yet it Is so beautifully done
as to warrant the bill coming to, as a
rule, $1,000. The traders are paid with
ivory-enormous tusks weighing from 100
to 200 pounds, and fetching in the whole
sale market from $3.50 to $3.50 per hundred
weight.
OF course, the business comes to the
trader in q very roundabout way. Some
of the minor chiefs got to hear of the
~middleman-the traders traveler-being in
the district. This astute Individual has
already seen the witch doctor-the Great
ure who rules the tribe, so to speak-and
has prevailed upon him to provide the
tribe with a brand new god. business
on equitable terms" is done. The savage
holds a '~.palavar." at which he declares
the goods" want propitiating, and this, Of
course. takes the form of a new god.
Another way is to steal quietly into the
sacred grove Of a native village and set
no an idol unobserved. When the natives
see 1t they are ~paralyzed, and wonder how
1t got there. Their first act Is to fall
down and worship 1t. The trader comes
alcrg. makes explanations. and leaves
the village enriched with a quid pro quo
in precious stones, metals, shells or slaves.
Either of the gods "Siahmantin" or
.~Sasubousun" is made Of ivory, and both
stand six feet high. They are the most
notwithstanding creatures you could pos
sibIy imagine, the former having five
great eyes bullying forward, and four lips,
with horns projecting from the sid Of
the head, while the latter is a bulps head,
with six eyes as GUN as saucers and a
capacious mouth. These two are the
most malignant Of all the gods of the poor
savages. ana the latter spend half their
lives In propitiating them. In ivory they
cost about $500 apiece, which amount IL
paid in ostrich feathers, gums, hides and
the other forms Of local currency already
mentioned

King Alfonso Apes the Kaiser

where the royal family has been stopping
for the last month. Ear from being a de-
bauchee and spending his nights with low
companions. the king Is usually in bed
and asleep even before San Sebastian So
ciety enters upon the enjoyment OF the
evening, about 1920 p. m. Tha king rises
at g, and when dressed goes at once to
the rooms Of his youngest sister to take
her to church. After mass he INDUCES In
a long horseback ride In the society OF
his former governor, or embarks with his
mother and sisters on the royal yacht, re-
turning at noon to work with the minis
ter Of foreign affairs and sign the papers
that arrived from Madrid. After luncheon
Alfonso plays billiards with his friends,
and at 4 o'clock drives out at his moth
er's side. The kings younger sister al
ways rides in the same carriage with him,
as he is extremely fond OF her. At 1880
the royal palace ia usually stepped In
darkness, but It's gates sometimes open
before daybreak, as the king finds much
amusement In giving surprise parties to
his men and officers, kaiser fashion. or
course, It sounds funny to hear this
youngster say to gray-bearded generals
and the menf 81 am satisfied with you
that must suffice you" but Alfonso is .
great admirer Of the kaiser. which ac-
counts for many Of his eccentrfcities.
