 Looking back upon that day, Loder often wondered at the callnness With which he bore the uncertainty. To sit apparently unlnoved and wait without i emotion for news that might change the whole tenor of ones action would have tried the stoiciSm of the most experienced: to the novice it was well nigh uncomfortable And it was under these conditions and fighting against these odds that he sat through the long afternoon in Chilcote's place. obeying 1 the dictates of his chief But if the day was fraught with difficulties for him it was fraught with dulness and Idisappointment for others, for the ull- dercurrent of interest that had stirred at the Easter adjournment and nsen ! with added force on this first day of the new session was gradually but surely threatened with extinction as hour after hour passed bringing no suggestion of the battle that had on every side been tacitly expected Slowly and unmistakably speculation and dissatisfaction crept into the at- mosphere of the house as moment sue ceeded moment and the opposition made no sign.

rich rage of medium size for the benefit
of the more conservative taste.
Feathers, plumes, ribbons. silks satins,
velvet, tulle, lace and embroidery one and
all are in style, and il would be next to I'M
possible to affirm positively which trimming
is the most fashionable. Unquestionably
there is something peculiarly appropriate in
the trimming of plumes. lace and gauzy
ribbon for hats intended for summer wear,
but just there must needs be a gown
for every occasion, so there must be the hat
for every gown, and consequently there
must be change In trimming as well as in
color.
The erin hats are so delightfully."- cool and
light and so practical in spite of their
fragile appearance that they are always in
demand for summer wear, but this year
there are more fancy weaves OF straw to
be seen than last year. There are a num-
Der of closely woven braids, attractive and
durable, but 1t is well In choosing this style
to be careful not to select a hat that is
too heavy in weight. The finer weaves of
straw in the old-fashioned chips and leg
horn are immensely popular and are to be
had in all colors, while there Is a great
variety in the fancy weaves. rough and
smooth, heavy and light.

then. again, there are others which are
most deliberately made up with flowers, rib
bon and lace. The majority of sailors are
quite broad at the left side and have about
the same width of brim In front and back.
In the back is a medium height tulle ban
deau brought around TO the left side of the
hat, which is therefore tilted up slightly.
The crown of the hat may either be COW
cred with some flowers simply encircled
by a pretty floral wreath. There are, them
the plain round sailors. One exquisite model
is of mauve erin, the crown of the hat
mass of lilacs of different shades from
side are jauntily placed two deep crimson
American beauty roses. On the cache
peigne of lilacs under the brim on the left
side of the hat is inserted a small bow
knot of velvet ribbon the exact shade of
the roses on the crown.
AS far possible a hat should match
each costume-that is one hat be provided
with every gown, but at the same time
1t is frequently upon the hats that one de-
ponds to add style and color to the dress.
An all-gray hat, for example, with a gown
of the same shade is apt to look character
less, but add q little pink, yellow, red or
any sharp note of contrast and the cos
tune will at once be made effective. A hat
need not necessarily be of the same color
as the gown to complete the costume.
At least one large black hat should be
provided at every season of the year. In
the spring a handsome black hat will fire.

all of Indifferent style. There so many
light gowns provided at this time of year

a wrapper and very much unlike anything
intended for more formal wear.
Added to this fearful fullness. which
seems to have settled upon us for life since
the vogue Of the blouse, the modern en-
pires have a superabundance of trimming,
which also helps to destroy their lines, and
they are also apt to have sleeves that are
quito full at the top and set quite high-a
most impossible incongruity.
But the empire underwear has avoided all
such pitfalls, and In consequence 1t Is SIM
ply the most tempting article of woman's
attire which has recently been imported. 1t
is made of the most exquisite quality of
linen batiste, most daintily put together.
The very little trimming that Is used Is put

hand embroidery Of the finest workmanship
and the most beautiful design. The real
beauty of the garments. however. lies In
their charming lines, the firmness of the
material and the perfection of fit and finish.

highly becoming. especially to thin women.

prohle of the wearer, is still displayed
among the newest fashions, but 1t has not
met with general approval, and in fact,
is not in the summer outfit of hats, unless
that outfit is so practically unlimited to
allow of everything being included. There
are ridiculously small hats that are very
smart, but size is given them by the trim
ming of flowers and ribbons cleverly ar
ranged. charming instance of this is seen
IN a rough deep pink straw trimmed with
carnations and pink gauZe ribbon bows, and
with just a touch of deeper pink velvet
ribbon introduced in such clever and ar
