grounds. She also cast into the grave a
few shovelfuls Of earth consecrating the
body to the care Of its Great Mot her Earth

he won't wear hat.
To escape criticism for exaggerated
economy, he always carries in his hand
wherever he goes the latest thing in mon $
headwear, but it never under any circum-
stances gets on his head.
Two men made wager on Mr.. Beach 3
eccentricity one day. One bet he could
create a situation that would cause Nj.
Beach to put his hat where it belonged for a
moment. The other bet he couldn't. The
challenger approached Mr.. Beach with
10th hands extended, invitipS double
shake. Mr.. Beach dropped lis hat on the
sidewalk ard greeted the challenger In
the same manner that the welcome was
preferred.
II it's raining or showing Mr.. Beach
defers enough TO convention al!ty to carry

severe enough to make him cover his head
His reason for not wearing hat il that

the substitution of bright berries and a
touch Of velvet for the flowers.
Flowers OF certain kinds will, however,
be worn upon the winter hats, preference
naturally being given to the velvet and
silk flowers. Gorgeous velvet asters and
dahlias will be much In evidence, toning in
as they do with the most popular OF the

Little bouton roses will hold the popu-
larity they have gained this summer, and

with high crown and broad brim has prim
little roses in these two coors grouped
around the crown like high dog collar,
with cluster of the flowers at the side,
from which starts one LACK plume curling

even when the new hats are low and broad
they should at least have a slight crown
The high crown hats are not so generally

TIE POWER OF RADITM.
An Ounce Would Drive a SO.HOrse- Power
Motor Car Around the World.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The daily issue
Of Consular Reports published to-day by
the Department of Commerce quotes from
the Anglo-Indidn Remew, IAN interesting
and illuminating account of the possible
future applicat ions of radium. The report
says
The area where success Is practically
assured is at present not very large. but
in the medical field il is already fairly ex-
tensive. In the working of A-rays and in
the marvellous results achieved in the
treatment Of cancer and blindness we have
every hope for great and universally bone
fitting results. In its indust rial npplica-
ton we are somewhat restricted by the
extremely ted supply of radium avail
able, but 1t is stated that n small fraction
of an ounce. properly employed would
probably provide q good light sufi-
Gent for several rooms and would
not require renewal during the pre- enc
century. 1t has been calculated that
the energy stored up in one gram Of
radium is sufficient to raise 500 tons weight
mile high. An ounce would, therefore.
suffice 10 drive a 5O-horse-power motor
car at the rate of thirty miles an hour

THE OLD-FASHIONED PLEADER
TELLS A TALE OF A LAWYER AND
AN ERRKNG WOMAN.

I'm tho Days when the Really Great Men Of
the Legal Profession We're the Adyo-
Gates Dramatic Incident In which a
Prosecutor Went TOO Far and Lost
In the little group Of men gathered in
the corner of the club cafe there was one
whose white hair and mustache. i'll marked
contrast to his ruddy face, stood for long
experience of life. II there was some
thing in his striking appearance which
attracted the attention of men coming
into the cafe or passing through it, there
was also that in his conversation which
held the attention of those who were within
sound Of his voice.
They had been talking about the changed
conditions which obtain in the practice
Of the lew nowadays as compared with a
time which, in the actual number of years
involved. was far from long ago. In these
times, one of the younger men had said.
the lawyers who have the great reputa-
tons, who earn the largest fees and en- JOY
the greatest incomes, are rarely seen in
the trial courts. 1t il as counsel that they
have shown their strength. Their work
is done in the quiet of their secluded offices,
and agility or resourcefulness in the actual
rough-and-tumble of the jury trial has
not been the basis of their success.
1t is all very much changed from the
time when 1 was in active practice" said
the white-haired old man. an those
days the great lawyer was the great pleader,
and by that mean the man who was the
great power with juries, not the man strong
in argument before the Supreme Court. 1t
was the trial lawyer, the man who was
always ready for any sort OF emergency
that might arise. who was never taken

shaded or plaid.
A broad quill OF this sort in blurred
plaid OF several harmoni2inR colors trims
a severe street hat most coquettishly, and
a quill of dark blue, green, red or brown
at its base and shading to the highest shade
Of the same color at the tip, may give
caohet 10 a very simple dark hat.
The wings, too, are unusually lovely in
coloring and most original in shapes and
grouping, and the new feather flowers and
ponpons are veritable works Of art.
Extreme art in coloring bids fair to be

pumes in audaciously gay color. The
white pumes on white hats are prone to
shade into gayer color toward their end,
and these white plumes tipped with
color have exceedingly artistic possibilities

dyed expressly TO match certain cost TUNES.
The plumes are put upon the hats in an
infinite variety OF ways, but a majority Of

at one side Of the front, or low over one
