American milliners declare that the
hats for the fall and winter which Will
find favor in Fashions eye are to be
small and turned up with that peculiar
tilt which appeared in tile spring and
TO which many American women have
as yet refused to submit.
And yet here are the very latest
things from Paris in the way of models
and photographs of the new millinery.
They show large proportion oil rath-
er big picture hats.
1t is true they are not the old pic
ture hats, with the old, ever becoming
graceful, flowing lines which every
woman could wear and which sat well
On every style of hairdressing. The
new hats, even when large and stately
in effect. have smart trig, stiff air
that distinctly demonstrates their re-
lationship to the small perky little
hats, which, like those of the last
spring, sit well up and well forward
on the head.

Habit in Appetite.

The so-called cravings OF appetite
are purely the result Of habit. A hab-
It once acquired and persistently fol-
lowed soon has us in its grasp, and
then any deviation therefrom tempor-
arily disturbs our physiological equi-
litrium. The system makes complaint
aud we experience craving, it may
lie. for that to which the body has be-
GONE accustomed, even though this
something be, In the long run, dis
tinctIy Injurious to the welfare OF the
boiy. There has thus come about,
says writer in Century. sentiment
that the cravings of the appetite for
,vod are to be fully satisfied, that this
Is merely obedience to natures laws.
This idea, however, Is fundamentally
wrong. Anyone with . little persist
tncs can change his or her habits Of
life, change the whole order OF crav'
tnes. thus demonstrating that the lat
ter are purely artificial. and that they
have no necessary connection with the
welfare or needs of the body. In othel
words, dietetic requirements are to b
founded, not upon so-called instinc
and craving, but upon reason and In

The object of this move was two
fold:
First, in making the change, the
steerer was given an opportunity to
ascertain about how much cash his
prospective victim had. and second,
his liberality In dividing his win
nirgs would. in a way, place the
stranger under obligation to him
when it came to the last joint for

b. the time the ten dollars had beer

ceased coughing and. picking up thu
cards, would deity turn down the cor

one corner Of blank one, and while
doing this he would look the stranger
in the eye and direct his conversation
to him. Then ae would again throw

that neither Of them could pick tn
card with the cross.
Having noticed that the strange
