Attractive Designs in Hat Compose
tions for the Late Fall
and Winter.

Wide hats. especially those Of long
nap beaver. retain their vogue for
girls. A little license Is allowed In the
children's hats. and they may be
trimmed as much as good taste per-
mits, says the New York Post. The
Gainsborough or picture hat looks Its
best over young faces and floating hair.
Indeed, the original Gainsborough hat
came into fashion when women wore
their hair in ringlets, and few modern
coiffures are adapted to 1t.
The hat of the season Is undoubtedly
the turban. One sees picture hats, d.
rectoire high crowns, poke bonnets and
sailors, but they have not the popu.
Iarity or the distinction that somehow
attaches to the correct thing. The tur-
ban has. Next in favor Is the mar
quise with its variations. These are
practically turbans too
A street hat in black and white
crushed velvet was an admirable exam
pie of the newest turban. The pointed
front was sharply turned and the en-
tire brim was swathed In folds OF the
black. The top of the crown was OF
white crushed velvet, laid in careless
folds round and round. The only
trimming was pair of black feather
eockades, very military looking. on the
right side, near the front. To wear
with the turban was smart little
cravat and muff of black crushed vel
vet, the muff lined with heavy white
satin.
Any number of fur tuAbans are seen.
They are a little heavy for everyday
wear, but are handsome and, as rule,
extremely becoming. The long nap
beaver is quite as pretty as fur, hav-
ing much the same effect, and is much
more comfortable to wear. 1t cannot
be good for the hair to wear such warm
hats as mink or chinchilla.
One of these beaver hats in pale
| violet was turban shaped. For trim
ming there was a cluster of grapes OF
exactly the shade of the beaver and
darkenening ever SO little in places
The foliage was velvet in exquisite
shades of green and gold
Wings trim many Of the new tur-
bans. A favorite fashion is adapted tc
the present style of wearing the hail
low on the neck. This consists Of two
or more wings at the back of the hat
bent downward to touch the hair
Where the wings tone into the shade
of the hair or contrast well with it
the effect is charming: Among larg,
hats dashing model was palest blu,
felt, almost covered with chinchilla
Around the rather high crown was ;
triple ruche, four inches wide, of pal
blue tulle. This was tied through tn
center with pale blue satin ribbon.

Too Much DISCIPLINE

Some mothers pride themselves on the
picture of their children sitting mutely
In q corner, holding hands, when guests
are present, as they DO upon the spick-
a3d-spand condition OF their china
closet. and by general consent this has
come to be looked upon as something
greatly TO be desired. But such disci-
pline, while n IL Impressive. really bot
ties up great deal OF the native energy
and intelligence of the child. Children
that are permitted to discuss questions
within the bounds OF reason with their
,lders invariably manifest a spirit OF
self-reliance and composure as they adj
vance in age, which is very much more
important to them than the ability to sit
back and cay nothing Washington

General huropatkin's army is being
carried out in good order despite the
terrible condition of the roads, rem
dered sodden By the rains which fell
Monday ana Tuesday, which mire the
lum. ering guns n heavy transport
trains. Long lines of commissiarat
wagons, drawn by steaming mules,
horses and ever bullocks, are strain
ing their way north over the soaking,
cut up main road from Yentai. Behind
them come long trains of artillery and
back Of them still K~uropatkin's army.
The Japanese are hanging on Kuropat-
kin's Hanks, keeping the Russians en-
gagged in a continuous rear guard ac-
ton. The progress OF the %retreating
army has been slow, owing to the ne
cessity of first getting through the
baggage and guns, but the heads Of
the commissiarat trains already have
passed through Mukden and are con
tinuing their way towa.is the north.
The main japanese army is march
ing up along the roads eastward of
the Russian lines of retreat, which
converge at Mukden. another japan
csc force is heading for Mukden from
the westward. coming from the direc-
ton OF the Lao river.
