The Matinee Hat

From the New York Commercial Advertise.
The campaign against the wearing of hats
IN theaters is progressing rapidly in all
countries In Paris M. Jules Ciaretie of the
Coincide Franchise has decided to refer the
matter to his patrons, who will vote on if.
and their verdict will be followed. The rule
now obtaining in the Franchise is that wo-
men under no circumstances can wear hats
IN the stalls, but may do SO in any other
part of the house. In the Ristori ThAater
In Verona. not long ago, where Novelli was
acting, there was great commot The

The finishing touch to a woman's coiffure
is flower archly peeping out of the ruffied
hair and dangling curls For elaborate
hair dressing nothing is lOvelier than
wreath of flowers. a coronation wreath, as
it Is called. These coronation wreaths are
going to be much in evidence a all social
functions this winter, at theaters and
operas, and poet. painter and sculptor may
draw deep and soul-stirring inspiration
from the sight of beautiful and becomingly
arranged coiffures.

the flowers and hair one must study ones

hair dressing it must never be forgotten

one wishes to know how LIE Brun Is done,
1t Is only necessary to look long and care
fully at the well-known picture of the
beautiful Madame Vigee lie Brun, clasping
her pretty little daughter to her bosom. In
her clustering curls madame has twisted

on the couture of that portrait, women to-
day are following this fad.
The Hair Scarfs.
A scarf of soft black or of white silk mus
lin is the best material and color to use.
Other materials for hair scarfs are chiffon,
liberty tissue and oriental gauze. These
may be twisted with ropes of pearls, or
caught to the hair behind with jeweled
clasps and then brought forward and the
ends fastened just above either temple with
begemmed brooches The effect Is decidedly

similar materials last year but now the
flakes are much larger In these cloths
blue, brown, green and red are favorite
shades. The most liked in the plain ma

They combine admirably with the glace SILK
kits and ruchings. Although the separate
skirt and bodice never attain the dignity OF
the ensemble costume, still most women
could not get along comfortably without
three or four of these separate affairs for
different functions. For the theater, when
a grande toilet is not de rigueur. a dreSSy
skirt of some kind Is a necessity. Squeez-
ing into the small seats usually found at
places of amusement is perhaps perfect
ruination to walking skirt, while one of a
soft light fabric is not even mussed. A stun
ming skirt for the theater or an unceremon-
ious dinner is made Of fine black crepe de
chine. Nothing Is more unsatisfactory than
cheap grade of this crepe. 1t pulls and
becomes a rusty black; but good quality
wears beautifully.
Fagoting and Folds.
This is made with the new shaped skirt
below the waist. the yoke being pointed and
formed of alternate rows of crepe de chine
and fagoting Under the yoke the material
is in vertical tucks little below the knees,
where it is met by line of the fagoting,
which heads the full, shirred fiounce. This
fiounce is finished with rows of velvet rib
bon.
The black taffeta skirt still retains its
popularity and chic when made at the right
sort of place. Those bought at the shops
are denominations; no right-minded woman
who has an appreciation of clothes would
be guilty of wearing one. But the glace
silk 1 am going to describe is most attrac-
tive

and a stunningly arranged triple yoke
which starts from the front width. From
under the yoke the body of the skirt is laid
in rather wide, straight plaits almost to

two wide, straightly gathered founces.

the tweeds In the plain materials the skirt
fits perfectly smooth about the hips and to
the knees. but fashion demands that round
the feet much trimming shat be used. Two
kits of taffeta silk about a quarter of a
yard deep are often used. one kilt above the
other stitched on to the upper part of the
skirt. This is an old style revived. and II
is certainly becoming enough to be recalled
from oblivion. On the other hand the
tweed skirt is generally made with three
narrow flOUrces cut en- forme. with very lit

velvet in some contrasting shade or simply
stitched.

that one of the great artists considers MS

JURY DISAGREE.

Hot Springs, June 22.-Sir Robert Sanborn was tried here last week for obtaining 1,20O from the Arlington Hotel Company under false pretenses. The jury hung with ten for acquittal. When Sanborn came here he repre- sented himself as an English lord. He said he travelled for pleasure and was a good spender. The hotel cashed the draft which was protested.
 Sanborn skipped, but was arrested in Boston after long chase. He was brought back, indicted and released on bond, his relatives in England re- fusing to help him. He opened a patent office here and has since been living off the sale of his inventions. The bogus lord is generally regarded here as about as smooth an individual as ever came across the water.

 A week ago today. Your twenty nine came down. the line
 And snuffed his light away. You can't blame me-the hog you see,
 Slipped through cattle gate. So kindly pen check for ten,
 This debt to liquidate.
 He was rather surprised few days later to receive the following: Old twenty nine came down the line
 And killed your hog, we know, But razorbacks on railroad tracks
 Quite often meet with woe. Therefore my friend we cannot send The check for which you pine. Just plant the dead; place o'er his head "Here lies foolish swine."
