A striking little toque is OF solt'
velvet-finished beaver, methodicaily
strapped with narrow bands OF velvet
in shades ranging from deep pinkish
yellow through burnt orange to brown
in wonderful gradations of color.
Browns in coppery and chocolate
tones are still the shades par excel
lence for this season.
Another smart model in hats Is Oh
reddish brown velvet, having a large
oblong crown which is further IN
creased in size by loose drapings OF
the velvet. Underneath the rim are
organisations of Irish crochet, and
above are long floating plumes OF
brown. Moire ribbon strings COM
plete this charming model.
Almost all skirts shown are shirred
or plated at the waist, and all the eX-
cess material falls in voluminous folds
to the floor and trails, indeed, 1or
from three to six inches all around.
The lower portion is deliberately
trimmed with fiounces, festoons, ruch-
ings and all sorts of odd, old-fash'
toned adornings.
Among the new evening coats
shown are some in shawl or cape ef-
fects, entirely devoid of sleeves. These
are provided, of course, for those
evening gowns which even this early
have the immense sleeves and puffs
of a decade ago, and are warranted
not to crush the delicate fabrics.

To Make Lace Glrdle.

The very newest girdle is made with
a lacing down the back. Wide POM
padour, Powered ribbon or silk is the
material now in such exquisite colors
and designs that one has an unlimited
variety to choose from.
To make the girdle measure about
three inches more than the size of
your waist; then cut the ribbon in
half and bone both ends of each piece
with thin but firm whalebone just
the depth that you wish the girdle to
be. AS you sew it leave the ribbon the
full length at both edges and sew it
in as far as you can toward the center

Cakes for Afternoon Tea.

Dainty little cakes for the afternoon
tea may be baked in tins of fancy
shapes. iced, sprinkled with broken
nut meats, and dotted with candied
fruits. An excellent old rule for cake
calls for an equal weight of eggs,
-four, butter, and sugar. Cream the
sugar and butter together very thor
oughly. Then drop in the eggs one
by one, beating each after it goes in
until the mixture is very foamy. After
the beating has made the batter as
frothy as possible, fold in the flour.
Bake this cake slowly. Otherwise it
will be tough.

If the ribbon; this will allow for
spring at the upper and lower edge
and make it fit snugly at the waist
line.
Next the holes for the lace must be
made. Buy a couple of dozen small
brass rings, stitch them closely and
tightly down each side of the bones,
then poke or cut a hole through them
and buttonhole stitch them very neat
ly around the edge.
All that remains then to complete
the girdle is the lacing of several
wards of narrow silk ribbon velvet.
The ends of this are tied in large
loops and allowed to hang about half
way down the skirt.

Pink Evening Coat.

Black fox fur and pink cloth make
an attractive evening coat. Instead of
hanging loosely all around, it fits into
the waist at the back, and is more
shapely than most. White cloth en-
broidered in pink and trimmed with
four bands of black fox, form the col
lar. Three straps of black velvet make
pretty cuff, frilled with lace, and
black velvet ribbon is nice trim
ming, put on in bow knots. The satin
lining is figured with rosebuds.

lined with white satin, and the skirt is

were covered up and preserved for
future ages to discover.
DR.. Lull expresses the opinion that
dinosaurs abounded in this region in
great variety. Some were carnivorous
and preyed upon small animals and
fish in the shallow waters. Others
were herbivorous, and browsed on the
tropical foliage that then lined the
banks of the Connecticut. Certain of
the footmarks show lizardlike charac-
tiers, though no lizards have been
known to have lived in so remote a
time. Still other tracks resemble
early crocodiles.
1t is a curious thing that while
dinosaurs long ago completely vanish
ed from the earth, the crocodile has
managed to live on with comparative
ly little change in form or habits. But

Why Animals Rather than Birds.

Why Animals Rather than Birds.
DIR. Lull is very particular to state
exactly what he believes these foot
prints to belong to animals rather
than to birds. THE features which
separate the tracks under considera'
ton from those of birds" he says
ARE several, though all do not occur
in each instance. They are: First
the presence of tail trace which is
unquestionably reptilan. This may
be a continuous serpentine impression
or a series of short straight ones as
though the appendage were raised at
every step; or it may be continuous
straight line impressing during the
whole of the animals walk or just be.
fore sitting on it's heels The occa'
sonal impression of fore foot is an
other distinguishing character, and the
presence of irregular dermal scutes
or tubercles upon the skin, though
rarely leaving record, is certainly
not birdlike."
Though dinosaurs are shaped much
like the kangaroo of the present time,
there is no evidence whatever among
the footprints of leaping dinosaur;
that is, one in which both feet leave
the ground at the same time. One very
peculiar specimen of the Hitchcock
cabinet at Amherst seems to have
tried to stop so suddenly as to slide
for a considerable space on its
launches before overcoming it's mo-
mentum.
The largest of these erect walking
dinosaurs of the Connecticut valley
was the Otozoum, which had length
of twenty feet from head to tail. 1t
rarely rested it's hands or forefeet on
the ground, sometimes dragging its
tail and at other times holding it clear
of the ground This animal had a foot
print twenty inches long and had a
stride of about forty-five inches. Most
of the footprints are much smaller,
twelve to fourteen inches being the
rule for the larger species, and dwin-
ding down to tiny prints only an inch
or two in length. The smallest marks
are thought to have belonged to little
dinosaurs no larger than cats or small
monkeys.-Bosto Herald.

Reuuiescat In Pace.

John T. Dresser. the Postal lineman,
who was obliged to have his leg ampll-
tated as a result Of his encounter with
the limited, has been having much
trouble with the absent member. II
has behaved itself like evil spirit,
pursuing him unseen but always felt
in no uncertain manner The sensa-
tions which he gets from the lost foot
have been so unpleasant Of late that
he could stand it no longer. Orders
were given that 1t be exhumed and
yesterday the deed a done. Dresser
was not present. He was sitting in
his room at the New Optic when he
felt q cold draught on his foot; that Is
the foot which used to be his. His
friends laughed at what they called q
whim but note was made of the exact
time. A little later he declared that
somebody was removing the hard sub.
stance which had caused him SO much
annoyance. A comparison Of notes
showed that the facts of the exhuming
were as Dresser had said in his room.
After the operation was well complet-
ed Dresser was able to sleep free from
the annoyance which he had con-
stantly felt before. Some Of the
friends OF the ex-lineman are inclined
to look upon his imagination as over
fruitful. But Dresser declares that
the departed leg has actually sent him
some very real communications.
