Sam Hoover Finds Something Better
Than Gold Mines.

There is no happier man in this whole
wide world today than Sam A Hoover,
of Greensboro N. c., who is receiving
the congratulations Of his friends upon
his fortunate find of something better
than gold mines or oil wells. Mr.
Hoover in letter to q friend in Wash

IS TO HATS.
A Few Hints and Suggestions About
the Latest Styles.


Never before in rnilIinery's history
were there such pretty dainty hats ex-
hibited as this seasons Southern hats.
1t seems shat all the shops have paid
special attention TO the construction Of
the Southern hat, with which, however
there is one fault TO be found, namely,
the size Most all of the hats shown
are small. which the WeaFer is likely to
0nd disadvantage, because. in the
majority of the Southern resorts the
sun IS very warm and Il large soft hat
Is more useful and pleasing.
ihese hats are made perfectly plain of
Snaoed straw, mixed with some dainty
lace, the only decoration being a large
black velvet bow
Accordion plated silk and chiffon hats
are again IN evidence and are apY1ro-
pirate accomplishments for most ali cos
TUNES. These silk hats are made on
four shapes, the picture hat the Char
lotte Corday, the walking hat, and the
turban; some are shirred others are
folded, according TO the wearers taste;
and when trimmed with a few pretty
flowers are very effective.
How often well dressed women are TO
be seen wearing evening hats OF delicate
color in the afternoon. Such hats are
tailored hats are the correct headgear
for tailored garments
Aifdwinter styles must continue to be
worn for the weather does not encour-
age the wearing of spring bonnets We
sill have the Breton sailor shape which
many women have purchased during the
winter season.. and from these the
pIunes or birds could easily be removed
and some pretty eaTneIias or dahiiag sub
stifuted This change would add to the
beauty of the hat and make 1t last until
early spring. In our Tuidwinter hat we
find that many materials and trimmings
are combined In one model, and much
detailed work is lavished upon 1t, yet
the general effect is simple. For in
stance, a solid violet hat is trimmed
with perhaps one rose. the foliage hat
with a coil of ribbon. the rose hat with
no trimming at all. These hats are
all very handsome and inexpensive 10

The Girl Fzon1 School.

The daughter who comes home from
boarding school is often a disappoint-
ment to her mother. Is she not so?
She Is inclined to be critical and make
remarks about the furniture. the table,
even your gowns. which hurt bitterly.
even though she is your daughter She
seems disconnected with the old life
and you are at a loss as TO what is to
ne done. But do not take the situation
100 seriously. And above all things, do
not harass her with showing her what
you consider her plain duty She
loves you just as much, but she is
young, and has been away, says Wom-
ems Life.
Although she seems very self-assured
very confident of herself and her abili-
ties, she has onis not gone far enough
to realize how little she knows She
must be led by affection. and led with
tact and gentleness. If she wants to
make changes in the home life. so far
as they are possible, permit her to do
so. 1t will give her occupation, and pos

FILET LACE WORK FOR
ENERGETIC HOME SEWERS
The Girl Who Does the Family Darning Can Find
New Outlet for Her Energies in This Work.

The girl who has d distaste for fine
sewing and delicate floss embroidery,
and who chooses the darning OF torn
linen and family stockings as her share
Of the household duties, will ind q real
friend in the new filet lace embroidery.
Ia this lace work the designs are WOW
en- into a fine or coarse mesh net by
carni1g instead of by the cross-stitch,
as in Russian scrim embroidery. In
fact. the vogue for eross-stitch en-
broidery has rather given way TO flet
lace work, which closely resembles hlet-
guipure.
= The real f5let lace is enjoying a de-
eided popularity for insertions and edg-
iBgs on table covers, centerpieces, and
eounterpanes. At a large dinner given
this month by wel1-known society
woman, the long table was covered with
a magnificent linen cloth. Obiong insets
OF hlet lace in orchid design, set at reg
uiar intervals, formed square in the
center of the cover while the same OBJ
long insertions outlined the edges of the
table, aud a filet lace edging finished
the borders of the cloth.
A Square Tea Cloth.
A square tea cloth seen recently at
an afternoon reception was built from
ten-inch medaliions of fflet, alternating
with the same size squares OF linen.
The lace showed lordly roosters and
peacocks siihouetted in white against
the linen mesh.
Collars and cuffs. medailions and
bands of 1ilet lace will be much in evil
dence as trimming for the shirt waist

Many so-called pile remedies will af-

expect more than this
The average sufferer. after having tried
every preparation recommended for the
cure of piles, comes to the conclusion
that there IS no cure except by an oper-
alton, ard rather than undergo this last
resort he suffers on, resigned TO the
situation, so far as may be. The atten-
ton of those interested is invited TO the
following experience.

blind, bleeding and protruding piles.

ball. He was just of age and was wea,-
ing his new dress suit. 1t was his first
attempt at doing things up in style
Never before had he worn a dress suit
or taken a girl 20 a social function in a
carriage. He had dressed in nervous
haste, and yet he had tried his best to
see that his raiment was absolutely
faultless.
As they were driven rapidly toward
the hall they talked of the. fine time
they expected to have. Suddenly, thS
girl stopped talking and gazed interztly
at the bottom OF the hack. The youth
noticed that she was apparently inter
ested in something down there and he
asked: MARY, what's the matter with
you? What makes YOU SO qu.et?'

relic of the days when oId-time beau-
ties used to exhale the perfume IF

Is now inclosed in a gold or silver case
and swung from the chatelaine or

Something new for those who like TO
keep their eyeglasses on the person,
although wearing them only occasional

gun metal, about the size of a small
watch, with pin at the back, by means
Of which it is fastened to the gown. In
side the case is d fine eyeglass chain
which works with spring. and the
chain can be pulled out the desired
length when the glasses are in use, and
winds up automatically when the
glasses are no longer required, pulling
them up close to the case.
Foot cushions are among the neces-
sary luxuries for my 1ady's hours Of
ease. They are thick, ob1ong affairs of
velvet, very much adorned with en-
brofderies, gold lace, and gold corner
tassels. These luxurious pads are
placed on a low wicker stand. so that
the whole is just high enough to sup
port the pampered Womans tiny feet
