a New Us: Of Lace.

We have been treated to such novel and
striking effects In millinery this season
that 1t seems as though nothing could
come In the way Of u surprise. Yet the
pictured hat is model which attracts
immediate attention and makes friends
for Itself at first sight The shade is OF
leghorn In the natural yellow shade, the
crown rather high and round and the brim
quite wide. This, of course, Is wired on
the under side. But the feature Of the
hat Is the mounting Of finest princess
lace, fitting smoothly over tile crown,
tthe brlm deeply scalloped and shaped to
this portion OF the hat. The crown and
brim joining of the lace Is covered with
n simple wreath of small white flowers
and green foliage. and at the left side
OF the crown are posed three beautiful
white Prince of Wales ostrich plulnes
which nod and dip over the high crown
and brim. Tho headslze Is fitted with Il
half inch cache pelgE swathed In white
ma!ines through which fancy headed hat

Z had an unusually trying time
of it. To begin with, the press
dispatches had consisted chief
~ of Russian war news, which hal
been pouring in steadily all day, filed
with an unusual and most discouras-
ing quantity of unpronounceab@ and
unSpellable names-that is, to any one
except an expert in Russian and Asiat-
ic nomenclature. To an ordinary ed
itor, proofreader or typesetter they
were simply SO many jagged
chains of consonants, with an occa-
siOnal vowel thrown in for good meas
ure. To cap the climax one of the

the press which made a great improve
ment in the spelling of some of the
names, but ruined the article in other
respects, so that it was necessary to
reset it, which was done, putting all
hands ON the work and rushing 1t
not to delay the edition more than
could be helped.
The result was-well. the Argus got
out about on time, but as managing
editor of the paper Barney Blake had
no reason to feel proud of that par
ticular column of war news as ii ap-

as he expected Colonel Starbuck, tn,

ing him to be of an excitable tempera
ment-the colonel often swore the Ar
gus with its blunders would be The
death Of him-he did not care partic
ularly to have him see that dispatch a.

The colonel failed to show up at The
