view far below instead Of above,
as is usually the case, beautiful

blackness of the abyss. 1t is
said that nearly every tourist
was keen to put down something
that would perhaps be original
and more expressive than had
been said before This went on
until finally there came visitor
whose name was not learned by
this writer and said it all in a
single sentence He wrot e.:
"The birthplace of chaos, the

The New Hats.

The disappearance Of the high
crown and also of the inordinately
large hat should be welcomed by ev-
cry one; the tall crown in particular
was an offense to good taste and be-
coming to less than one woman in
hundred, and even the woman who
could wear them and not look freak
ish would have looked better in some
thing else.
Many of the new shapes show much
variety in brims; many brims are
wide. Many hats are egg-shaped, the
crown appearing at the narrow end.
Others are heart-shaped, like the one
described last week, while still 9TH
ers are shaped like pears. In the
egg-shaped hats with the crown at the
narrow end, the wider part at the
back is usually turned up very sharp
ly, and this back is nearly covered
with flowers or other decoration. 1t
Is probable that the oval shapes ven
tured last year will be more worn
this summer, as the putting OF the
hair over the ears renders them more
becoming. In some hats the brims
slope upward from the crowns base,
and in others the brims roll but slight
ly at the edges.

Fitzsimmons on COURAGE.

Bob Fitzsimmons, who recently gave
President Roosevelt a silver horse

greater than physical courage.
Moral courage is no finer than the
other Sort" he said. Sometimes

as hard to let rum alone as it is to

between 1900 and 1900 bushels OF
oats and barley from 200 acres. But
part of the wheat went down before
filling and was not harvested except
for hay. The crop was worth at
threshing time, $4,000. Besides 40
acres laying idle except a timothy
meadow, which is not included in this
estimate. Counting the value OF the
product and the increase OF value OF
land will pay me more than 20 per
cent on the investment. Two broth

Vague, unhappy dreams still haunted

asked, eagerly:

stood there before her, transformed in
the blue of his country's service, the
light of unspeakable love and anxiety
in his eyes. Aurilla gave one startled
shrek, burying her face in the pillow
as he approached and dropped on his
knees beside her.
"Rilly! Little girl" he pleaded,
brokenly. "I've waited till the very
last minute O. my leave to ask you to

Ribbon plumes are feature of the
new millinery. They are very decor
ative, and in so far as ribbon car
simulate feather they arrive at very
much the same effect. They can be
made from ribbon, but are usually
made from crossway lengths of sill
very lightly hemmed, and then, &C
cording to their breadth, gathered
over one or two thick cords down the
center, this giving the idea of the
stem. Dahlias will figure largely OF

Yoke Embroidery.

A treatment that is sure to be adapt
ed to a hundred variations is the
most delicate of embroidery in de-
signs that form a deep yoke. Just
below the embroidery, directly in
front, begins row of narrow valen-
ciennes, which runs down to the belt,
and has three other rows set at regu-
lar intervals on each side. And a
dainty yoke is made Of narrow valen-
ciennes lace and insertion running
around, the edging frilling out from
each row of the insertion. The yoke
is very shallow. Sleeves in nearly
every blouse are rather full. and are
finished with long, deep cuffs. They
are tucked up and down, or around,
as you please.

Bindinu a Skirt,

Shrink wooden dress braid before
putting it on your skirt, and avoid the
puckered effect that comes when the
braid is wet after being put on the
skirt where this is not done.
It is also best to allow few inches
for this shrinking when measuring
for a new braid. Simply wet the
braid thoroughly and hang it up to
dry without wringing it.
In sewing it on care should be TAX
en- neither to hold it too tight to give
a drawn effect, nor so loose that it
has rufTled effect, especially IL the
serviceable brush braid is used.
