especially fancied.
AS TO materials used for making the
hats. velvet. and satin are used for a
great many beautiful models, often In
combination. For instance. the underbrim
will be OF velvet and the rop OF satin,
or vice-versa. Moire silk combined with
velvet Is also very good style. one espe-
cially attractive French model showing
this combination. The hat in question
was very odd In shape, the brim being
very wide across the front, but much
narrower from front 10 back across the
face. The front Of the brim rolled up
slightly from the face, while the back
dropped over the hair, and the brim was
made OF moire silk folded into inch
plaits and bound with velvet. The entire
top Of the hat was trimmed with white
ostrich feather aigrettes which looked
very light and transparent and gave one
the idea OF frost
Another French model was In elephant

hats of the past season are again used to
some extent, especially on the tailored
hats. A new shade of blue known as
Atlantic blue Is much seen In the French
millinery, and brown. purple, and the
ever-popular combination Of black and
white are also favorite color schemes.
AS TO dress fabrics. broadcloth leads
decidedly In favor and will be used both
for strictly tailored suits and for "dressy"
garments. The plain broadcloth In all the
varying shades are very smart, but the
new shadow plaid and striped broadcloths
will be leading favorites for tailored
gowns. Black and white or black and
gray striped broadcloth will be much
worn, and also the plaids In dull greens,
blues and browns.
These new plaids and broadcloths have
the designs almost invisible, the colors
blending so softly In certain lights
the material seems quite plain or at least
only "changeable." For evening wraps
and reception costumes there are the
chiffon cloths IN exquisite pastel shades.

THE MEMS CORNER.
BY PETER PRY SHEvLIN.
The Doctor.

One OF the professions that ranks with
law In its appeal to the ambitious young
man is that of medicine-and the young
medico will not quarrel with the word
trade during the struggling period in
which he tries to evolve a practice. Every
one knows the established doctor with a
lucrative practice--his very name is syn
onomous with an attractive establishment
and all around prosperity. 30 IL is rather
with the black years spent In the attain
ment OF that position that are worthy of
attention.
After a course OF three to Eve years in
the medical school. the young medico
energies with his diploma and faces the
world. but is so hedged around by ethics
and conventionalities-all probably just
and discriminating he can not earn
his salt Usually the young doctor secures
an appointment as physician I'm large
hospital-where there are practically no
emoluments. The period as interne Is
usually two years, the sole reward being
the experience gained, the prestige at
tained and above all acquaintance made
with paying patients that may form the
nucleus OF a practice.
The doctor who can inherit a practice
from his father or has influential social
connections may now find easy sailing.
but the young man whose income has d.
minished to nil during hve years OF hard
sledding." hnds himself only at the foot
OF forbidding mountain OF prejudice. For
a hard-working young doctor starting
practice to make $500 or half his living
expenses during his FIRST year is some
thing almost abnormal. Yet the doctor
must look prosperous, and play up the
social side on all occasions. The young
doctor usually charges fixed fee of
dollar for ordinary Office cases-as the
class that would be attracted by a cut
rate usually don't expect to pay the doc
tor at all-and no profession faces so
many unpaid accounts There exists a
prejudice against employing collectors
and even the hardened dunner finds doc
tors bill the hardest possible nut to
crack.
The two best centres for starting prac-
tice are on the f1nge-Just outside or
Just within the limits of the residential
quarter. For economy, another good loca-
tion is In the suburbs and away from
competition OF the Older and fashionable
doctors.
In his second year OF practice. the
young doctor should make expenses-and
after that he has a clear pathway to the
summit Of success.

window can be so treated that 1t can be
made to look very much larger, the re-
suit being an immense improvement TO

always looks much more coy and hab-
liable when draperies in some artistic
material are used at the windows, and
when the window is small narrow one.

A SUBURBAN COTTAGE.
Designed By
Chas. S. Sedgwick, Architect, Minneapolis

The general appearance OF this design
is that of a cottage with low roof, stand
ing with the broad front TO the street. the
roof sweeping down past the second
story and out over the front piazza. The
piazza cornice Is carried back and around
the house over the FIRST story windows,
dividing the upper and lower story and
empha sizing the cottage appearance. The
foundation Is built OF faced stone and the
entire exterior walls Of the superstruo-
ture are set with studding, sheathed and
covered with heavy building paper. wire
iathed and cemented with a rough 'peb-
BILE dash" finish. The chimney at the
side, leading up from the fireplace In the
sitting room Is carried on the outside OF
the frame and cemented over the out
side, giving II the same appearance as the
wall. There are wide corner piers car
ried up at each side of the piazza and
between these are four Ionic columns.
The piazza floor Is concreted and laid
with tile and the steps built of cement
or stone. The piazza is 10 feet In width,
affording ample space for outdoor ham
mocks and furniture. The entire piazza
is intended TO be screened In.
The plan and arrangement OF the In
terror is one that will appeal TO many
people at the present time. The day Of
small rooms isolated and shut or one
from the other is passed and now only
the house with the large. pleasant. sunny
living room with a broad fireplace will

in turn the result of failure to look
