Gen. Lawton lost his life.
Cooper tells an interesting story:
Company G, of the Thirty-seventE
United States infantry, started out In pur-
suit of Aguinaldo in February, 1900, chas-
ing him for ten days or more up through
the mountains of Southern Luzon. They
finally lost track Of him and went over
the SWampS into CamarineS province. But
so hot was the pursuit and so near did
1t come at one point to capture that some
OF the ponies in Aguinaldo's band were
shot and the leader threw away bundles
Of clothing and other stuff in his mad
desire to escape his pursuers.
1t was in one of those critical mo-
ments that Corporal Belding, a friend OF
cooper, PICKED up in the trail amid the
bamboo jungle small bag Of muslin
which contained this regana, a small
nag OF the province Of Vtgan, and
wrapped in it a curious dagger with
point of needle-like Sharpness
beldtng took out the sash first and 1t
belne similar to a decoration worn by
a priest, thought it belonged to one Of
them, but hiG the bag hurriedly for fear
might get it. When he showed it to his
friend in the morning Cooper asked him
II lie might take it and show it to some
one. Belding thereupon made him
present of the bag and its contents.
Cooper showed it to Capt Agnew. Of
the Eleventh cavalry, who exclaimed at
once at sight Of the red and silver star:

The regalia is heavily embroidered in
solid silver, for which Mr.. Cooper was
oHered goodly sum by the native sill
YerSmlths in Manila. The most interest
ing piece is the silver embroidered Shout

yellow satin richly incrusted with sill
yer, and where 1t crosses the breast
shines six-pointed silver star of open
work upon red satin, the badge of Agui-
naldo's highest rank. A broad belt OF

are also parts of this glittering insignia.
Here are the great silver star and hat
Dand that decorated the sombrero and
completed the paraphernalia which rem
dered Aguinaldo a gorgeous figure when
worn over his white suit at dress pa.
rade-for he never wore this regalia over
khaki uniform.
Mr.. Cooper was offered large sums
py oHlcers anxious to purchase this re-
gaia as a remembrance of AguinaIdo. but
declined. considering 1T the more valua-
pie from the fact that only one other
such suit of regalia owned by Aguinaldo
IS known. According to a current army
rumor. that suit was presented to the
1nsprgent leader by Maj. Gen. e. S. Otis

Dainty Examples Of Fashionable Paris

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-Not one woman in
thousand stops to consider the real rea-
Bon why she wears a hat. Savages do
not have any idea of decorative millinery;
their chapeaux are intended for use. The
first hat, it is said. was donned as pro-
iection from cold and storm by those
whom advancing years had deprived of a
comfortable thatch of hair, or those
whose tender age entitled them to no
supply.
Hats were therefore worn by the very
old or the very young. Some of the an
Client head coverings were modelled on
the plan of the protective headgear
worn by warriors when they went into
battle, and were mere pieces of fur
sewed together with thongs of skin. As
civilization advanced decorations were
added, and as refinement brought with
1t the inevitable subsection of humanity
to hair tones, even people in the prime OF
life were compelled to protect their scan
ty locks with coverings of some sort
when storms ragged.
Then what had once been a reproach to
the wearer came to be a mark of distinc-
ton, like the cardinals red hat, the earl's
coroneted cap, the scholars hat or the
monks hood. The first trimmings on
hats represented social or political dis
tinctions. Rosettes, whose colors had
some special significance, were first used.
A great many of the oldtime symbols
have been revived by fashion designers,
who have no idea of their meaning For
instance, a very smart three cornered rid
ing and hunting hat of dark fe,t with
turned-up brim is obviously a modifica-
ton of the primitive helmet It resem-
bles much the hat under which the
American soldiers won their liberty. The
fashionable marquise hat is another modi~
fieation of the helmet, with it's stiff, turn
ed back front indented by trimmings.
A charming specimen of this type was
worn to a matinee the other afternoon by
a friend Of mine She confded to M
that it was just home from the millinery
shop Of Virot. The felt was Sevres blue.
and the trimming consisted of clusters Of
blackbirds' wings and buckles adjusted
in the indentations of the brlm. To har-
monte. with the simplicity of the hat a

plumes. Curled and renewed, they are
just the things to perch upon the top
of the made over hat, where a knot and
roll of velvet about the crown will af-
ford an inexpensive and pretty finish.
The French have adopted heather as
their favorite flower for the winter Hats
are trimmed With clusters of it, and bits
of it appear in buttonholes and on the
fronts of muffs. Heather is the favorite
flower of the Russian empress, and every
thing connected with that lady is now
very popular here. When she was in
France recently, her room was kept con-
stant1y decorated with heather, and
when she left for home the Partisan
beaux and bellies made the blossom their
own. Therefore If you would be chic
spLrn the loWly violet and take unto
yourself a boutonniere of the delicate
heather bloom Russian embroideries, or
limitations of them, drape ultra smart
millinery. Those done in red and blue
in cross stitch upon a. white background
are very quaint.
Huge buckles frequently appear on, the
turned up sides of street hats, one at
/ the front and one at the rear, with vel
vet disposed in loose folds over the sur
face of the under brim, particularly full
at the side. Very little trimming is re-
quired for the crown of such hat. The
| model that I describe had very silky
surface and was encircled by a wreath
| Of velvet flowers.
Boat-shaped hats, while not becoming
to the majority Of faces, with the adop-
ton of little clever draping may be
made acceptable since they are the fash
ion. Soft silks stamped with delicate pat
terms generally trim the boat shapes,
and with clasp of some sort and the
| tasteful adjustment of two or three quilts
the plain hat will be Transformed If
| the milliner has carefully studied the
! intending purchaser, she can bring even
hat of this sort into harmony with an
| unpromising face.
The beautiful plumed picture hats seen
so much this winter become almost every
! woman. Black plumes have quite taken
the place of white and appear on black

condition. Indeed, many old-fashioned
women prefer an emery pincushion to
one filled with sawdust, as the pins and
needles placed in it retain their bright
ness and f1neneSs longer. A needle that
has rusted may be frightened by draw
ing 1T a few times through fine emery
powder.
Fancy wax tablets for smoothing down
the rough ends of silk, cotton or wool
thread are made in various shapes and
clasped by a silver head similar to those
of the emery bags. Strawberries, black
berries. tomatoes, apples and ears Of
corn are represented in the wax. From
25 to so cents each is the usual cost.
Hem gauges, consisting Of bands OF
silver marked with inches, are hand
somely mounted, generally with a head

linen, according to taste. Long tapes are
usually coiled in tiny silver boxes, which
may be ornamented on top with the mon
ogram of the owner or with her birth
stone. Yard measures are finished with
fancy heads like those of the hem gauges
and with a silver rod, upon which the
line is wrapped when not in use.
Ornate silver bodkins with chased heads
and silver stilettos for picking out
stitches are among the small accessories
of the fair members collection.
Thtmble cases are a luxurious addition
to the list of workbasket furnishings.
They are usually of silver filigree lined
with silk, satin or velvet to support the
thimble in its hours of idleness. Glove
members are inexpe nsive. Needlecases are
followed inside the bar that supports
the pieces over which the darning or
stitching is to be done. Needles and bod
kins for threading ribbons are modern
conveniences made in silver and elegant
ly ornamented. Finger shields afford pro-
lection in place of thimbles, and are an
old-fashioned device. The silver ones are
roughly engraved and often decorated
with monogram.
Pincushions consist of silver boxes in
which are set velvet cushions, or they
are fat silk or velvet pads included be-
tween two silver ornaments. Such cush-

my attention was arrested by the number
OF DAINTY accessories of the Workbasket
Pretty as they are. not all are really ex-
penslVe. Fortunately in these days even a
poor woman may surround herself with
beautiful things. Silver handled darners
sell at all prices from 10 cents to above
II each. The round black oval which is
the really useful part of the article, is
made of some hard substance, while the
handle is Of silver handsomely chased.
Spool holders are of all kinds from
chased silver stands with uprights TO RIM

animals heads are wrought in silver for

white felt. Really perfect plumes are
rare, and the woman who has large
and handsome one generally finds it a
good investment, because it can be fresh
ened up and used season after season or
new hats. The soft feathers have a way
of outlasting SITTER and heavier ones.
Once wings and quilts begin to look
rough and scrawny, they are done for,
while the ostrich plume, no matter how
wild its appearance will time after time
come from the cleaners and dyers fluff

A friend of mine who is a devoted pa
iron of high-priced shops along the Rue
de la Paix, has been picking I'D from her
milliner some hints In regard to spring
fashions. French milliners who supply
model hats to the American trade have
already decided just what they will serve
to foreign buyers who in January come
over to look about for chic models Flow
ers are to form the majority of the spring
trimmings-dainty blossoms, delicatelv
eolored and not too large, for large flow,
ers destroy the symmetry of hat, bon
net or toque. White ostrich feathers
and fancy straw braids, together with
coarse laces and art nouveau ornaments
are to be important factors IN spring mil
hnery decorations. Rhinestone buckles
will be largely used with laces and soft
SUNS IHCIO1OAO anyone VINO sees a
cheap ornament of the sort at any Of the
after holiday sales will do well to pur-
chase it and lay it aside for use on her
spring or summer chapeau. Black and
white, in spite of it's already long reign
will be continued as a popular combina-
ton through the summer season. 1t is
expected that jet decoration and black
ornaments of the cameo type will be utiI-
lied. Wings have very little place in the
spring millinery scheme, except in the
shade of the fancy made" ones, which,
while resembling nothing In nature, are
still very decorative.
The winter hats, muffs and collars
have, as a rule, harmonized All these
things properly belong to the domain of
millinery art, for they depend upon the
adjustment of dainty bits of lace, ribbon
knots and chiffon fittings for individual
prettiness.
Evening coiffures are charmingly orna-

collar of blue panne embroidered with
a Greek pattern in gold thread was worn
with the blue Grape blouse underneath
the sable-trimned coat
Another hat, a truly elegant affair,
worn by a friend. was ordered at the
same shop. It was one of these broad
trimmed affairs in white velvet, turned UP
at the left side and lined underneath
with beautiful ermine. A handsome
buckle of turquoises and briliants SPAR

Rough, silky felts are extremely becom-
ing to most women. There is a softening
effect about the hossy surfaces that by
contrast brings out the best points even
of rather unattractive faces. Velvets
make the best drapfngs for hats of this
sort, and wings with velvet flowers afford
the best supplementary decorations.
A splendid model of the rough, hairy
felt was shown al a fashionable milIiner'S
week or so ago. 1t was a modified form
of the toreador hat, with a roll of the
velvet filling the hollow in the brim and
passing underneath at the right and left
of the front to form a simple underbrim
trimming. cocks feather was adjusted
at each side where the crossed bands of
velvet appeared. A rosetue of velvet rib
bon above the hair completed it's STYLISH
appearance.
The turned up brims of hats and
toques are often successfully decorated
with narrow bands Of velvet ribbon put
on in parallel rows and clasped at the
examinations by buckles of cut steel or
paste.
Old hats with wide brims may be
easily retrimmed in this style. A felt
should first be sent to the cleaners for
freshening up. When it is returned,
Sits, through which bits of velvet rib
bon may be threaded, should be cut in
the brim. The velvet will hold the hat
in whatever shape is decided upon if
the strands are drawn taut and then
secured with buckles. If a portion of
the brim needs to be Tapped over, it
may be cut and stitched together at the
back, where a rosette of velvet ribbons
built to resemble a black chrysanthe-
mum will hide defects. Almost every
one has on hand old ostrich tips or

AS American women come into contact
with the highborn ladies of other coun-
tries and see how much stress is put
upon domestic accomplishments even in
the wealthiest 4ouseholds, they are In

arts which they have heretofore de-
