A London milliner yesterday tempt
ed her customers with a purple hat
of the Gainsborough type, which was
one glorious mass of that magnificent
color known as eminence. The feath-
ers on the hat repeated the dye.
A single ostrich feather, perched
upright, with the tip dropping over a
diamond diadem, is a form or adorn-
ment that is very extraordinary, but
truly piquant when worn by a hand
some women in her hair as the Golf

match the gown.

Louis Seize Coats.

A narrow strip of velvet and satin
in two shades of rose was the mater
ial chosen for a jaunty Louis Seize
basquine of a dinner-frock. The coat
was ornamented with large buttons of
velvet in the darker shade of rose, set
in paste and worn with fichu of creamy
mousseline and lace embellished with
embroidery done in narrow satin rib
bon in two shades of rose
These Louis Seize coats keep their
hold upon feminine fancy and will
doubtless retain their prestige
throughout the winter. Almost every
frock and coat of the moment is
trimmed, at least to some slight ex-
tect, with velvet.
A velvet collar is a foregone con-
clusion upon almost every coat. what

and the bolero vary widely in line,

VEGETABLE THAT KEEPS TIME
Plant Of Borneo Has a Remarkable
Peculiarly.

Plant Of Borneo Has a Remarkable
Popularity.
There is venerable old riddle, so
venerable that it may have gone round
the cycle and become young again,
which asks: when do you get a
vegetable timepiece?" The smart man
who knows it all or was expected to
answer: when 1 get a turnip''-tur-
nip being at one time facetious for
watch that wouldn't go. The correct
answer is: when 1 get up at 8
o'clock" Say that aloud and you will
recognize a pun that would blush to
blazon into print.
Now it appears that in Borneo there
is plant which is known as the
clock-plant, and which in a rough sort
of way registers the time of day. 1t
has leaves of two sizes, one of which
acts in the capacity of a minute hand,
which keeps moving until O'Clock
p. m. and the other keeps going until
morning. The larger leaves act as
the hour hand. Starting in position
when all the leaves lie close to the
stem, with the points hanging down,
they rise gradually until they turn
toward the top, and then they drop to
their former position. 1t takes the
smaller leaves about one minute to
go through this performance, and the
longer leaves just about one hour

Played Music to Dead Wife.

Sounds of music coming from the
cemetery in the middle of the night
have terrified the inhabitants of the
Swiss village of Bregenz, near the
Austrian frontier. Two gendarmes
lid themselves one night behind a
tombstone in order to investigate.
They saw young tradesman climb
over the cemetery wall, pull violin
from under his coat and standing over
a newly-made grave, began to play the
bohemian Girl" They listened to the
end, and then went up to the man,
who said he had been playing over the
tomb of his bride, who had died the
week before. 1T was the piece she
liked best he said to the gendarmes,
who led him away.

Big Bear Killed by Engine.

On the night of Dec. 6, as the At
lantic Coast Line through freight, en-
route to Jacksonville, arrived within
ten miles of Ocala, the engineer no
ticed a big black object walk on the
track and then jump off. When the
train came within a few feet of the
spot the object again jumped on the
track. The engineer could not ac
count for the object and did not stop
to investigate.
The next morning the northbound
passenger train picked up 400-pound
black bear. This bear was turned
over to the engineer of the freight
train, who has had the skin cured
and is keeping it. The citizens of St
Petersburg, where the engineer re-
sides, feasted on bear meat the next
day-Jacksonville Times-Union.

First Steam Warshin.

The Fulton, built as the Demo1ogos,
was the first steam warship. She
was built in 1914 by Robert Fulton.
In addition to the radical innovation
of steam she was fitted with the
wheel in the center. Her battery was
composed of twenty long 32s and a
submarine gun projecting a hundred
pound shot. There was also a mon
ster pump, to be used against the
enemy by filling her with water
through a portfolio. In one hull was
the boiler, of copper; in the other
was the engine; the wheel was in the
fifteen foot space between the two.
She had four rudders, two at each
end, and could go in either direction.
At the end of the war of 1872 the
Demologos was assigned to the navy
yard in Brooklyn as receiving ship.
While on this duty she was blown up,
June 4, 1929, and twenty-six persons
killed. 1t was popularity supposed that

"Then Followed Lively Bit of
Spooning."


"and then we shall see if you deserve
to have one glad to see you again"
Of course, it didn't go just like that.
1t was all in monkey-ta1k, but it was
plain to Mr.. Healey, who understands
the language. In the little ''park"
outside of Newark, just about half
way between Jersey City and the for
mer town, on the Plankroad, is the
winter rendezvous for everything that
belong to the 400" in animaldom.
With the first signs of warm weather
the happy families are parted, some
to go on the road with circuses, some
to go to summer inland electric
parks" others to go to miniature
Zoos" by the seaside, and still 9TH
ers to make the rounds of the coun-
ty fairs. The reassembhng of the
forces when the summer season is
over is one of the interesting studies
in animal life, and Mr.. Healey, as
dean of the animal studying industry,
takes full advantage of his opportuni-
ties. The questioning glance that
the lady monkey throws toward her
liege lord is just as plain as the
glance that the girl gives her fiance
as he returns from a weeks outing in
the woods.
The ring-tail Number One did not
get down from her perch until there
had been due amount of chatter
from the other side of the cage. When
both were apparently satisfied, they
came together and there was the live
lest bit of "spooning" in that cage
that Mr.. Healey had ever witnessed.
Over in the kangaroo inclosure
things did not move SO smoothly.
Mrs. Kangaroo had, or believed she
had, cause for serious complaint
against her lord, who had been abb
sent some months and had not written
daily letters telling her what he was
doing or with whom he was flirting.
1t seemed that bad blood had existed
in the kangaroo family before the
parting came in the spring and the
feud was not forgotten by Mrs. Kan
goroo any more than Mrs. John Smith
forgets her grievance against Mr.
John Smith even though a summer
passes over the ripple in the domes-
tic circle. Mrs. kangaroo had been
over in Electric Park in Baltimore
for the summer, while Mr.. Kangaroo
had been the free attraction at the
entrance of the big iron pier at At
lantic City. Mrs. Kangaroo had

The long-coated suit is variously ex-
pressed this season, but there is a GER
tain unanimity on the part of the tail
ors that rich broadcloth is the best
vehicle for their work
A soft shade of deep rose red, just
what one sees in a jacqueminot rose,
is employed for this smart design,
and there is just touch of velvet
richly embroidered that makes a sug-
gestion of a vest edging.
I A taffeta passementerie is used to
border the open front all the way
down, and the easy fullness of the top
drops into a smartly curved ceinture.
The coat skirts are applied with a
prettily shaped hip seam, deep plaits
in the center front and back, making
for a graceful fullness. The sleeve is
a full gigot model, the shoulder built
out in the form of a cap, and the full
ness tapering below the elbow drops
into a stiff cuff that rises well up
from the wrist.

Brilliant colored Feathers.

Flaunting plumage of most vivid

feathers are left as nature colored
them. They are dyed even more bril-

the moment.
