New Ideas for Children,s Hats.

Hats for little girls are most attractive
and quaint OF these perhaps the most fas-
cinating are the little straw mushroom
shapes with beehive crown. Simply
trimmed with couple of rosettes or
wreath of daisies and tied on with ribbons
they are quite irresistible. Then there are
the little French bonnets made from Tuscan
straw with square crown and very wide.
futed brim These lend themselves to an
endless variety of colors and trimming and
clever mother could evolve one out of an
ordinary Tuscan straw hat If she cut away
the brlm from the back of the crown.

PARIS, May 2S 1904.
Although outdoor attractions. such as
. polo and the races, occupy the attention
of elegant Partisan mondaines. there Is
good deal indoors of a festive nature
ranging from marriage ceremonies and
3 o'clocks to small theater parties. But
the smart diversion seems to be the must
cal afternoon. and a delightful musicale
was given Friday by the Comtesse de
Castellane, with Melba as the chief at
traction. There is a young Roumanian
singer, Mile. Maria Serena. who is MAX
ing a great success at these musical
-soirees Admirable in voice and charm
ingly pretty. this new artist made her
debut at Mrs. Moeres elegant reception
at her salon in the Avenue du Bots. Mile.

cred thcy are box or side plated. What
ever the style selected for this useful 1upe,
there is no branch of our wardrobe where
the essential qualities OF cut are more m
dispensable than in the linen skirt which
makes frequent visits to the washtub. l
Fave mad many discouraging experiences
with tubing skirts of the seven or nine
gored variety, and we all are acquaihtesu
with the hopeless favilure Of the seams at

weep. In two models of the summer linen
skirt the seams retire modestly into the
background.
Long Pointed Jokes.
To descend to the technicalities OF max
ing, one skirt has front gore continued
in the form of pointed hip yoke around
the back. where mitered strap makes Tor
reatness and finish. This yoke. which Is
guiltless of seam or dart, is stitched at the
edge on box plated skirt. The yoke Is
turned back over a-strip of linen cut on the
straight about an inch wide at the mar
rowest part. The firmness thus AFFORDED

a scalloped border. On the lower part 1t Is

A Higher Flare.
When the gored skirt is used the flare
begins higher up than we have been ac-
customed to see it lately. In making, care
fully tack a piece Of tape behind eacn
seam before stitching. This precaution not
only lends durability, but gives the stitch

and a piece of tape inserted on which to
stitch the required number of rows there
is nothing in which the heel Of the boot
can possibly catch.
Other linen skirts made with alternate
bands of tucks and embroidery are smart
models. The length of the skirt varies
according to time and place. The walking
jupes clear the ground about an inch. while
the sporting skirt falls just to the ankle
and. needless to say. the linon de sole
drags itself in the approved sloppy" FASH
ion all around the feet.

How Icebergs Are Formed.
From McClure's Magazine.

From McClure's Magazine.
Icebergs are the product of the
Greenland glaciers and are formed by
the thousand in the far northern fiords
AS the glaciers sweep into the sea they
"calve"- or throw off mighty blocks,
and these are what we know as lee
bergs. Some are of stupendous dimen-
sions. DR.. Kane's Arctic expedition
saw one two and a half miles long and
two and half miles wide aground in
half a mile of water in Melville bay.
This, of course, broke up into small
pieces in time, which sun and sea and
tide moulded into the beautiful and
fantastic forms familiar to the Arctic
voyager. AS they drift south and the
sun plays on their facade, 1t melts
them into shimmering cascades which
leap into the sea, while below the tide
frets them into delicate traceries. Then
the berg gets top-heavy, turns over,
and exhibits an absolutely new con-
tour, and so the process continues until
they disappear in the Gulf stream
The Labrador current which carries
them on it's bosom. extends from the
Polar sea to the south OF Newfound-
land, an oceanic river 1000 miles long
and 100 wide, and generously bejeweled
with these gorgeous creations and, as
an irreverent tourist remarked last
summer, they represent enough cold
storage to put the ice trust out of
business and give every American citi-
zen a refrigerator stock of his own.

MOROCCO.
From the New York Globe.

From the New York Globe.
A few facts regarding Morocco may
be of interest.
1t was the original seat of the Moors,
who eventually invaded Spain.
1t has a population estimated by
some at 100000 although DR.. Rohfs
maintains that 1t is not more than o.
100000. With the exception of 100000
Jews they are all Moslems Of the Malik
division of the Sunni sect.
The Sultan of Morocco claims to be
thirty sixth in descent from Fatimah.
the daughter of the prophet His au-
thority is absolute, and not modified,
as in Turkey, by the opinions of rhe
learned.
The area of Morocco can only be
vaguely estimated as the southern
frontiers toward the Sahara Desert are
unsettled. but it proba bly, contains $780,
900 square miles.
There is one English newspaper two
French, and three Spanish published in
Tangier.
The army of Morocco is estimated at
S0,0O0 including the militia. 1t is
trained and commanded by English,
French and Italian officers.
Gold and silver have been found, and
the country is said to be rich in min
eral treasures.
Nothing has been done to develop the
country by either opening roads or
railways. 1t is probably the most neg
lected spot in the whole world. Agri-
culture is very greatly neglected. The
people only cultivate their land from
dire necessity. In 1902 the chief ex-
ports were almonds, beans, peas, oxen.
eggs and skins. Its chief imports are
cotton goods and sugar.
There are representatives of four
teen nations at Tangier. The British
envoy is Sir Arthur Nicolson, Bart,
K. c. r.
There is perhaps no portion of the
civilized world about which European
information is so defective. There has
been no survey of the country and the
maps have been drawn up largely by
conjecture. On most maps the inte-
rior of the country is represented as
extremely mountainous. The back
bone of the country is the great At
las, or the Dyrin of Pilny, from which
all rivers in the country take their
rise.
The Arabic of Morocco has reached a
state of extreme degradation, and the
decay of literature is complete. In
fact the present state of Morocco is
pitiable. Education in our American
sense of the word does not exist.
