Whole World.

Before the signing OF a definite

still in its full strength, ready for any

ought to be given more complete rec

Giving her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her raven ringlets in;
But not alone in the silken
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within"
Surely, Nora Perry had the lovely Spanish man
tilla in mind when she indited the first verse
of '"The Love e-Knot," and it seems strange that
it has taken the American woman all these years
to come to realization of the charm of the
"silken snare" Of the long flowing scarf or man
tilla which has for ages been the setting for the
beautiful faces of Eastern countries.
True, she has been under the arrogant thumb
of Dame Fashion, whose hailing places are Paris
and London, and the Partisan beauty could not
forego her love of the milliner's Creations" in
favor of the simple bit of silk Or lace, and the
carelessness of the mantilla, which is its chief
charm, prevented it from gaining favor among the
somewhat staid English lasses
II has reached America at last however, and
despite the frownings of the royal autocrat, Fash
ion, is being taken up and admired and caressed
by the lovers of the beautiful, and no matter
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-06

A specially blessed woman, whose beauty pass
es unchallenged at all times, may wear rain
coat, low-heeled, heavy-soled shoes, short skirt
and hower-bedecked hat and escape being ridic-
ulous, but she needs all her beauty to carry her
safely past the danger point. She may also wear
tailor-made suit and feathers, and be appropri-
ately attired. But the woman upon whom nature
has not lavished her gifts SO generously must
beware of pitfalls of this kind, and must study
the shape and trimming of her hat for her va
rious suits, and so must have good half dozen
'bonnets" if she would pass muster.
GOOD AT ALL SEASONS.
Now the mantilla looks well in the rain or
sunshine; it completes a costume of heavy, rough
material as appropriately as it does one of silk
or lawn, and it can be worn with artistic eff
feet with all intermediate gowns. Surely this
is sufficient to commend it. Way back in the
time of Cortez the Spanish woman realized the
usefulness as well as the beauty of the man
tilla, and under monarchy and republic, in
peace and war, the scarf of the beauties of old
Madrid has lived and hourished.
The value of the scarf to the theatregoer is
too self evident to need elaboration, 1t would

the scarf which flournished in bamy old Madrid
1--we amid our New England snow Western rain
and Southern heat? Aha, thought the almost
frantic miliner, there's squelcher for the man
tilla. But no indeed, such query holds no
terror to the scarf. 1t is an excellent winter
head covering, fitting snug about the ears and
taking the place of fur about the throat. Why,
the mantilla is comfortable as the old-fash-
ioned ear tabs and tippet and great deal
more becoming.
Where's the girl who would fail to be bewitch-
ing with frost nipped cheeks and wind blown
hair framed in soft, fimy folds of becoming color?
Her royal lover was so charmed with the in.
novation that he begged his princess to burn
every one of her several trunks full of hats and
to wear as head protection only the romantic
scarf of the Spanish beauties.
The value of the mantla in Jack Frost season
is in no way lessened in the good old summer
time, for although the winter scarf may possess
comfortable warmth when draped gracefully
about the head and shoulders this same bit of
lace is light and airy when allowed to float un-
confined.

originator of the defense and most aggressive
player, always played PIX r A. with the idea of
playing his Kt to K-Kt and then in many vari-

The August sun may beat down in scorn upon
any sort of a head covering but it has little
effect upon a feathers weight of silk, and when
night falls with an unexpected chill and damp
ness this same bit of silk is excellent pro-
lection against cold and neuralgia.
Besides being adapted to all seasons, the man
tlla has the advantage of being suited to all
occasions. 1t looks well in the morning and it
lends charm to the afternoon gown; for evening
it has no peer.
IDEA is PRACTICAL.
black, a white and gay colored scarf or
two form the nucleus of lifetime of headwear
The scarfs may seem like luxury on first
glance at their cost. but if they are to be
adopted as the universal head covering they are
indeed a good investment, for scarf can be
handed own from generation to generation.
It never goes out of style and in black or
white it can be worn with any gown. Whereas
the hat must be remodeled each season and a
different one is needed for each gown if one
would be correctly attired, one lovely mantilla
serves many seasons tops many gowns and is a
protection from both heat and cold

what the word from Paris or London may be
this year regarding woman's "bonnet" she will
catch her lovely floating hair" beneath the silk
en- scarf, and thus bewtchingly arrayed will
cause more havoc in hearts than she ever eff
fected when her "raven ringlets" were topped
by plumes and posies. And woman, quick to
seize upon anything to enhance her charms, is
so realizing the aid of the mantilla that the mil
liners may display, in our independent country at
least, these same ostrich tips and gay flowers;
she may put forth her most alluring creations
at Sacrifice" and fair woman, with a lovely
yard or two of net or lace thrown over her
pretty head, will pass by without SO much as
turning an eyelash.
BEAUTY OF THE MANTILLA
Well, she may, too, for whether little or Diana
like, blonde or brunette, or Just between the
two, whether her features bear the stamp of
beauty or are but indifferently formed and care
essly distributed" she will look attractive with
a cloud-like scarf Of rich color or of pure white
or night-lke blackness, floating about her and
softening every line of her face And the ir-
resistibe coquetry of the artistically arranged
mantila! Who could resist it? Surely not the
lover and certainly not the maiden claiming ad-
miration as her birth right.
we nave been warned OF the coming of the
mantla for several seasons by the appearance
of the chiffon wells, but it took the courageous
Princess Ena to make the popularity of the man
tilla assured When she journeyed to old Madrid
to meet her royal lover she kept her beautiful
eyes open, ever on the lookout for something
which might enhance her loveliness.
The minute she courtesied to by Spanish
beauty with festive scarf thrown carelessly
and bewitchingly over her dusky hair Princess
Ena bowed her respects to the mantilla and
claimed it as her own.
Seeing an English princess in Spanish scarf,
and realizing how the dainty bit of lace OF gor-
geous piece of silk lent additional charm to her
already bewitching face, some daring American
visitors at once adopted the style and found
that it was as suited to Yankee features as to
Spanish beauty or English charms.
Some said that it might lend itself readily
enough to charm, but what about climate? Could

''There are far more vital and pressing dis
coveries to be made;'' he says. 1--WE must learn,
for example, how to control the energy stored in
coal. At present ninety per cent of that energy
is lost. If means can be devised by which
this enormous waste is saved it will naturally
revolutionze and vastly cheaper the production
of power. 1t will enable an ocean liner to cross
the Atlantic in unprecedented time and with an
expenditure of about onctenth the amount of
fuel now required. Coal will be put in recep-l
tacle agencies applied for developing its energies
with inapprecable wastage; through these
agencies electric power of any necessary degree
will be forthcoming. That problem seems to hold

seem, therefore, that for economy, utility and
comfort the mantilla leaves the hat so far be-
hind that it scarcely be put in the same class
Then, too, there is a historic about
the Spanish mantilla-soon to be the American
scarf-which makes it very attractive; there
clings to its sandalwood' scented folds mystery
which is peculiarly feminine. As the Huguenot
maidens tied their neck ribbons about the arms
of their lovers and sent them forth to battle,
so the Spanish girls wind their mantillas about
the necks of their matadores and send them
forth to the bull fight with prayers for their
success.
These same sken scarfs have played important
parts in royal love stories, and as Cupid at home
is much the same mischievous elf that he is
abroad, our country stands chance Of being
swept with period of Old World romance when

TURKEYS Will go
to- TOP OF MARKET


Thanksgiving day viii be here on
time, but whether the turkey win arr
rive at the desired locations viii de
pend upon whether the head of the
family is willing to pay the biggest
price ever asked for that kind of
meat. Two years ago turkeys sold
in the local market for fifteen cents
a pound, and that price was consid-
cred pretty steep by the Oldest resi-
dent who could not remember when
they had ever commanded such
figures before. Last year they went
up to twenty cents, and the people
stood aghast, but bought them Just
the same. This fall they are like
" to reach twenty-seven cents and
even be held at thirty cents at some
of the local markets. That is a
pretty stiff increase in price, but
conditions are said to justify it.
At any rate, purchasers Of thirty
cent turkey will have the consolation
Of knowing that the beef trust is
not responsible for the high price.
The beef trust has never gained
control of the turkey market All
over West Virginia and in fact,
throughout the whole United States
the farmers nearly all raise from
dozen to thirty of these useful fowls.
They have the run of the farms, and
grow fat at very little expense to
the owners. The owners do not
have to sell Them unless they want
to. When the modern agrieuItur-
ist reads in the papers about the
high priced turkey he decides to
keep down in his heart that he wants
that sort of price for his own fowls.
II he does not get it he does not sell.
Some of the farmers in this country
are asking twenty cents a pound
gross for their yearling stock. The
meat men are in distress. Such a
price means the practical bank
ruptcy of all who enjoy the super
lative blessings of Thanksgiving /
day, and the meat men regret to see
that done, but turkeys must be eat

ftent agencies, the people are still /
