The Hats of Paris.

The brims of the new hats are
turned up and down and over; the
crown is punched in and pulled out;
the trimming is all secreted under the
brim as though it were contraband,
but, even a Customs officer could de-
tect it; all these things seem perfectly
causeless, and result in a sort of well
ter or shapelessness, and lines that
never get anywhere, writes the Paris
correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Record. Very often, too, there will
be couple of ostrich feathers stand
ing bolt up on their stems, with no
tulee to mask them, but merely ris-
ing out of desert of felt, like q
single palm tree in the Sahara. Or
they may be pointing straight out
over one ear, as though they were say
ing: Look anywhere but at me; I'm
mad"
Mad they certainly are, and the av-
erage woman of the average type,
wearing one of these hats, would prob
ably find herself giving a free enter
tainment to all the mannerless per-
sons she met. Yet the Partisan wo-
man wears them as matter of course,
and they set her off. and give her dis
tinction. The only solution is that
the Parisienne is the Parisienne, all
by herself, and unique.
Satiny felt is the decree for the
autumn, and some very charming lit.
tie hats are ready for the breakup
of the torrid weather. At present it
is almost painful to speak of felt, and
people turn their eyes away as they
pass the windows where smart tweed
costumes are exposed. However, it
is possible that one day we shall love
the sun again. At present he is too
much with us, soon and late. He has
forgotten the fine old maxim, Re
frain thy foot from thy neighbor's
house, lest he weary of thee and hate
thee"
But there may come aday-previ-
Gus experience persuades us that It is
possible-when tingling frost and a
pale golden sun will make the ideal
day for wearing these little boat
shaped toques of smooth felt. They
are nearly all fairly small, and drawn
into a point of some kind in front.
Autumn flowers trim them, and they
are pushed patulantly away from the
head by beds of ruched tulle, or
massed loops of ribbon beneath the
brim.
A very pretty hat in silvery blue
felt is very much the same in shape
as the military slouches. One side of
it is turned up and held to the top
Of the crown by a line of silk roses, in
every shade from nouse-brown to
copper, which. springing from a clus-
ter of copper ribbons under the brim,
is carried up like garland, and
thence surrounds the crown. From
the ribbons also springs out a clump
of the very longest tail feathers of
pheasant, waving up and down and
out in the widest manner However,
such eccentricities are easily taken
out.
A curious shade between ruby-red
and purple seems to be the coming
color for hats. 1t is not very becom-
ing, but it is decidedly smart, and the
milliners are busy dyeing all the
flowers of Nature to the latest demand
of art.

"Tobac?" he inquired.

KNIVES are easily lost-in peo-

The two men talked for hours.
Sacobie Bear was great gossip for
one of his race. In fact, he had a
Micmac nickname which translated,
meant ''the man who deafens his
friends with much talk" Archer,
however, was pleased with his ready
chatter and enforced humor.
But at last they both began to nod.
The white man made up bed on the
floor for Sacobie with a couple of
caribou skins and a heavy blanket.

Sacobie watched him with freshly
aroused interest.
More tobac, please" he said.
tSquaw, he smoke, too"
Archer added a couple of sticks of
the black leaf to the pile.
"Bacum, too" said the Micmac
"Bacum better nor fish, anyhow"
Archer shook his head.
You'll have to do with the fish, I"
he replied; "but I'll give you a tin of
condensed milk for the papoose."
"Ah! ali! Him good stuff" ex-
claimed Sacobie.
Archer considered the provisions
for a second or two.
Then, going over to dunnage bag
near his bunk, he pulled its contents
about until he found a bright red
silk handkerchief and a red flannel
shirt. Their color was too gaudy for
his taste. "These things are for your
squaw," he said.
Sacobie was delighted Archer
tied the articles into neat pack and
stood it in the corner, beside his
guests rifle.
Now you had better turn in," he
said, and blew out the light.
1t was dawn when Archer awoke
He sat up in his bunk and looked
about the quiet, gray-lighted room.
Sacobie Bear was nowhere to be seen.
He glanced at the corner by the
door. Rife and pack were both gone.
He looked up at the rafter, where his
slab of bacon was always hung. It.,
too, was gone
He jumped out of his bunk and
ran to the door. Opening it, he
looked out. Not a breath of air
stirred. In the east, saffron and
scarlet, broke the Christmas morn

of the world lay the imprints of Sa-
cobie's round snow-shoes.
For long time the trapper stood
in the doorway in silence, looking
out at the stiffness and beauty.

while. 'Well, he's welcome to the
bacon, even if it is all had"
He turned to light the fire and pre-

Commitment is a Christian duty;

Women Owners of Big Ranches.
The big ranch of Mrs. H. NJ King,
in southwest Texas. which has always
been looked upon as being one of the
largest in the country, lacks 100000
acres of being as large as the ranch
owned and controlled by Mrs Cornelia
Adair, situated near Clarendon. in the
Panhandle of Texas The Adair ranch
embraces 100000 acres. 1t is all in
one body.
1t is remarkable that two of the big
gest ranches in the country are owned
and controlled by women, and that
both are managed with great care and
success. Mrs. Adair is wholly diff
ferent type of woman from Mrs. King.
She is fond of society and travel. She
spends several months each year in
England. On her periodical visits to
her ranch she brings with her large
parties of Britishers. These visitors
much pleasure in the wild ranch life.
There are something like $4,000 head
Of cattle on the Adair ranch and annu-
ally about 10000 calves are branded.
The number of steers marketed each
year is between 5000 and 5000. The
annual net profit of the ranch the last
ten years has been more than $780,
600.
The husband of Mrs. Adair bought
the ranch twenty-nine years ago at an
average price of twenty cents an acre.
At that time the land was considered
practically worthless even for grazing.
Now the ranch is worth many million
dollars. There is not an acre of this
tract that would bring on an aver
age of $40 per acre if placed on the
market to day
Prosperous farmers now surround
the big Adair ranch, but this vast
estate is still held intact and no effort
is made to farm any part of it. The
ranch house headquarters is a stone
building, more representing an ancient
castle in appearance than anything
else. 1t is equipped with every CON
venience, including electric light.
waterworks, sewerage and other mod
ern appliances.
Mrs. Adair is fond of the chase. She
keeps on the ranch stable of blooded
horses and a large kennel of dogs.
Wolf hunting is her favorite sport.
Level courses seventy-five mile long
stretch away on the ranch, unbroken
by wire fences or other DISTINCTIONS
