TIp-tIIted Hata.

The side-tilting of hats, as wen as
the tobaggan slide objections, are no
longer the same marvellous sights, for
the eye is getting quite used to them.
Twice as many hatpins are needed,
and such superbly jeweled ones as
are used make lesser ones look ex-
tremely out of date. The tendency of
plumes is to end upon the hair in the
back and is quite definitely accepted.
They should not be worn, however,
by what are now termed short wom-
en-, those who fall below five feet
nine or ten, but naturally there will
not be any such discrimination. All
the feminine world is after fashion re-

for human food: MANY years ago
these dried geese found their way
to the lowlands of Scotland and were
used as an appetizer small por-
ton, when eaten before meals, was
supposed to tickle the appetite In
this connection l have heard a good
story. A worthy farmer in the neigh

asked one of his guests if he would
have another portion upon which
the guest remarked, I think 1 will, as

To the sensation of hunger was
added a growing measure of wrath
az the old man noted the astonishing
fact that everybody in the room but
himself appeared to be supplied with
food. He began to glare, and, his con-
dition being suddenly discovered by
the head waiter. that functionary
struck the flag of dignity and hast

And again a bill of fare was thrust
before the exasperated old gentleman.

The popularity to be expected for
hats of the felts, for dressy wear,
from what was discovered in investiga-
lions of the new millinery of a month
ago, is being verified in their accept
ance among our most sagacious mill
liners, and in their willing adoption
by well-advised, fashionable ladies'.
They will be extensively worn, espe-
cially those of the softer qualities of
the plain material Miroir velvet seems
still to be the choice in the millinery
textile materials for the objective Gre
alton of the richest of the autumn and
winter hats; while gold and silver it's
sues have been employed latterly as
combining fabrics, and some of the
most elegant and attractive of the
recently produced models are con-
structed effectively of feather-faced
cloth-small quill feathers also being
laid over naked frames as covering.
Velvet ribbons, and hemmed piece
velvet cut bias, vary the limp taffeta
and soft satin ribbons in the latest

of some very dainty and handsome of
the latest of the new models.-Milli-

GROCER WAS TOO LTTERAL

Back in the sixties Joe Wilcox was
Well known in southern Worcester
county as joker who never let the
other fellow get the best of him.
From his farm in Sutton he went to
Millbury grocer to trade eggs for
groceries. Joe prided himself on hav-
ing larger eggs than any other man
in the circuit, and he thought thew
were worth more than the smaller
kind.
He asked the grocer if he could not
give him little better than the mar
ket price for his basket of eggs, on
account of the size. The grocer gave
HIM frozen stare, as he remarked in
icy tones; mo, SIR. an egg is an egg
in this store"
"All right" said Joe, "I'l remember
that in future"
The grocer forgot the incident in an
hour, but not so the Sutton farmer

The fancy for eyelet embroidery is
just as much craze as ever, and 1t
would almost seem as though 1t were
summer, not winter. that is close at

this work But in truth there is no
marked difference between the after

fashionable. The model that for the
moment is so extremely popular
serves equally well for one or the
other. A plated skirt OF silk null

He went all over three towns hunting
Tor bantam, eggs, and when he had
collected. about a bushel of them he
went to the same store, and, leaving
the eggs in his wagon. asked the mar
ket price
The price was all right, and he
bought enough goods to come to the
price of the eggs he had, taking the
precaution to gel the goods in his
wagon before he took the eggs into
the store.
Finally he walked into the store
with his basket of eggs and set it in
'front.' OF the grocer, who looked at the
eggs and swore, saying they would
not go in that store.
Joe winked at him and replied:

with bunch of Ottawa people who

other day were a visiting missionary
and an old gentleman who was very
deaf, and who had never seen bill
of fare used in a hotel.
The preacher took occasion to dis
tribute variety of religious tracts
through the coaches. and the old
gentleman, being unable to take part
in the conversation, acquired col
lection of the literature and assidu-
ously perused 1t throughout the trip.
He was fairly well stated with re-

The first care of the hungry excur-
sionists on reaching the capital city
was to secure dinner, and they repair

hotels. The old gentleman was OBJ
viously out of his class. 1t was evil
dent that he was a little bewildered
by the unfamiliar usages of a modern
hotel, but he made his way with the
others through THE fair-time press
and secured a seat at one of the
tables.
He appeared to be surprised as he
seated himself "Pears like we're
too early-there amt no vittles on
the table," he remarked to compan-
