Aaout the Hat.

There is a set of rules about hats
and their wearers that should be rig
idly followed
If a woman has a thin face and is
inclined to be sharp featured let her
beware of hats that go up off her face.
This kind of hat only tends to out
line her defects and she should choose
a hat that is brought well forward.
Her hair, too, should be loosely ar
ranged and never drawn back in a
plain fashion. Sharp or smart hats
should be almost avoided and fancy
edges adopted.
If one has features that look good at
casual glance but will not bear in
spection a hat crushed in and pulled
out with many corners and angles will
be her most becoming design.
This tends to mystify and one finds
herself unwilling to investigate-the
effect is too good to unbalance.
small face should deal warily with
the picture hat 1t is very liable to have
it's saving graces drowned in the depths
of the enormity and should never be
attempted by any one who has not the
height sufficient to carry.
A well-formed face can show off
most any model and it is with this
sort of face in view that most designs
are created.

RIOTS IN FRISCO.
LABOR WAR IN WESTERN CITY
GROWS SERIOUS.
Attempt to Run TroIleys by Armed
Men Fiercely Resisted by strikers
One Man KILLED, Others Fatally
Hurt-I3,0O0 ON Strike.

Nine men were shot down, one was
killed and several were fatally wound
ed in San Francisco Tuesday afternoon
in a pitched battle between striking
street car employees and their sympa-
thizers and GUARDS employed by the
United Railroads to protect their cars
manned by non-union men.
The armed guards poured yolley af-
ter volley into the crowds in the
streets, in response to showers of
bricks and stones hurled at them. The
police made little or no effort to dis
perse the mob. Two of those shot were
members of the police force. Finally
the police arrested the guards ON three
of The cars. and then turned their at
tention TO beating back the mob
1t was in the afternoon that the com
pany officials preciptated the battle by
sending out seven passenger cars All
day long a crowd had waited around
the barns at TUrS aud Fillmore streets,
and no sooner had the cars appeared
than they We're greeted by Showers of
stones.
The first shot was fred at the inter
section of Turk and Buchanan streets
by guard from the rear platform of
the ear that headed the string of seven.
The bullet struck a young man sitting
on the curb and inflicted a flesh wound
in his arm. The shot was not fired
until most of the windows of the car
had been smashed with stones, several
of which had struck and severely bruis-
ed some of the guards on board.
The shooting of the man aroused the
mob to pitch of frenzy. Paving stones
and other distractions were cast on the
track, and in that way the car was
brought to a standstill block further
on. Hurting any missiles that came
easiest to had, hundreds of men and
boys surrounded the car. In moment
a volley of shots rang out and the
crowd fell back in fear. The obstruc-
tons were cleared away and the car
proceeded, followed block behind by
two others.
The sound of the shots appraised the
main crowd in the neighborhood of
Fillmore and Webster streets that a
battle was on, and more than 1000
men and boys came running down Turk
street in pursuit of the strike break
ers, who, standing TO their posts, shot
again and again into the crowds as re-
peated showers of stones struck them.
Just beyond Van Ness avenue the
first squad of police arrived. The mob
stoned them, too, but presently desist
ed on being implored by union pickets,
who shouted frantically: Boys, don't
hit the cops; they are our friends"
The mob called on the police to ar
rest the guards on the first three cars.
The policemen tried to persuade the
maddened men and boys to dispense,
but without effect. At Turk and Hyde
streets, three blocks east of Van Ness
avenue, the guards again turned their
weapons on the crowd. In the fusil-
lade policeman was shot in the back.
With the street car men, the iron
workers, the telephone operators and
the laundry workers out, there are
more than $4,000 strikers in San Fran
cisco at present.

For Better or for Worse.

The Twentieth Century woman is far
more inclined to take serious view
of love and matrimony than either her
mother or grandmother appears to
have been. She may like admiration,
but as rule she has no desire to pose
as a breaker of mems hearts. View
ed even from moral standpoint the
girl of the 'thirties, the maiden of
ready bushes and simple white mus
lin frocks, who was taught to regard
every unmarried man who crossed her
horizon as a probable lover and a pos
sible husband, was much more for
ward in spite of her Wanted modesty
than the bachelor girl, who looks the
realities of life straight in the face
and understands how the taking of a
husband can prove curse as we'll as
a blessing. Such a one is most likely
to promise to marry a man without
the full intention to take him for bet
ter or worse.

HOW to Have Red Cheelzs.

"The new way of coloring the cheeks
is interesting to the woman who wants
color, but who does not approve OF
going to a box to get it. l have the
reddest cheeks in Paris, but there Is
not a suggestion of artificiality in the
redness. 1t is all a matter of treat
ment," said clever Frenchwoman.
"Felice, my maid, took lessons of a
flesh specialist until she became per-
feet at tinting the skin This special
list taught her that the skin is peculiar
in that the rougher it is treated, the
finer it becomes.
IF / dared to do so, would let
Felice scrape my cheeks every day
with a razor. l know that my skin
would soon be fine and smooth under
this treatment. But, not daring to do
this, I let her do the next best thing.
Il give her very coarse towel and
I let her go over my face with it, rub
bling it briskly until the blood comes
to the surface. Then, with a very tiny
massage of skin food, l have a pair
of glowing cheeks"

Food for Babes.

Do not at any time force or urge
milk or solid food upon the child; if
he SHOULD refuse part or the whole of
feeding, let that meal go, and do
not give any food until the next feed
ing hour comes, says Mariana Wheel
er, the famous baby expert of Harper's
Bazaar.
For the first twenty-four hours after
birth very little food is necessary feed
the infant about once in five hours. If
it is possible, the baby should be
nursed by the mother, as the nourish-
ment it receives from her contains GER
tain ingredients which are necessary
to cleanse the stomach and intestinal
tract of the newly born, as well as to
stimulate the digestive juices to activ-
ity.
If for some good reason it is not
possible for the mother to nurse her
child, give as a substitute a little boil
ed water slightly sweetened, or thin
Cruel dextrinized After the first
thirty-six hours milk can be given in
a dilute form. Cows milk can be
diluted, plain or in the form of top
milk. The diluent should be thin cruel
or boiled water.

1t is by far the wisest policy to get
all possible sewing done before the hot
summer days arrive. when one is dis
inclined for any exertion. All lingerie
at least can be ready, for styles in that
do not change radically, and a gener-
Gus supply is always needed, especially
il one is to be away from home, where
it is difficult to get laundry work prop
erly done. Daintily made underwear
is not a cheap luxury if bought ready
made, but when odds and ends of time,
and materials picked up cheaply, are
utilized for it, one does not feel the
cost. This graceful gown has a fancy
yoke of embroidery, and the short, full
sleeves that are so comfortable for
warm weather wear. If preferred, how
ever, the high neck and long sleeves can
be used, and many people do still pre-
fer that style.

HELPING COTTON PLANTERS.
How the Government Is Coming to
the Rescue of n Great Industry

How the Government Is Coming to
the Rescue of "a Great Industry.
''At one time it was thought the whole
important Sea Island cotton industry
would be swept away by disease" says
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. "The
departments experts entered the field, de-
veloping a disease-res5iance cotton by
breeding and selection, and re-established
the industry In all the South where the
boil weevil is now working the depart
nent is striving to secure varieties that
will be so early as to produce crops de-
spite the weeyil. We are succeeding in
this md are distributing new types of
cotton superior to those already in exist
ence, and which will mature ahead of the
weevil.
Zone of the greatest lines of propa-
ganda work the department is carrying
on is in the South, in connection with
the cotton weevil. When the weevil in
vaded the country the cotton growers
were discouraged, and it was necessary
to rally them. This was done by extern
sive systems of demonstration work. The
farmer is shown how to grow cotton de-
spite the weeyil how TO rotate his crops,
how to improve his land, and how to sur
round his home with better conditions
generally. Last year the department was
working along this line with more than
100000 farmers in the States of Texas
and Louisiana alone, and this year the
number will be increased.
'sThese farmers are being taught how
to maintain the fertility of the land by
the use of legumes, to grow corn, to
keep animals and at tlAe same time pro-
duce cotton. We are endeavoring to show
them that they can produce just IS much
cotton on half the land now in use, de-
voting the other half to crops which will
bring them ready money, and which will
not deplete the soil"

Before Dyein@ Your Dress

When sending a dress to be dyed, if
the drop skirt is silk, cut it out Just
below the belt, for dyeing takes all
the body out of the taffeta after it has
been worn for time, and besides. the
dyers charge much more if the drop
skirt is left in. A new petticoat is
what the dress will need when remod-
eled, and the old one can be saved and
patched up for general wear as sep
arate under-petticoat If possible, rip
out the hem of the dress to circumvent
shrinkage changes, for a line invari-
ably shows where the edge of hem was
if it is let down afterward. and if
ripped, this cannot be possible; also

tate far more alteration if the hem is

Influence of

Influence of the Politicians Wife.
1t has often been asked how much
influence the wife of public man
bears on his political career This is
hard to estimate; but this much is
certain: The man who comes to Wash
gress or of some other branch of the
Government where his position is one
of prominence, is very unfortunate if
his wife is not one whom he can trust
to make her way socially. Not neces-
sarily being great social success, but
capable of mingling with the average
woman at the national capital. For,
in spite of the fact that small per-
centage of society looks leniently upon
the married couple who are seldom
seen in public together, the average
sound American believes in the COM
radeship of man and wife.
But when we sum up this question
of the influence of women in statecraft
we quote as exceptions cases such as
the Storer and the Townley affair, and
pass the Judgment that, on the whole,
the influence of woman in statecraft
is for good. Being impulsive, she is
apt to make mistakes now and
then which cause the more logical
males to laugh at her; but as a rule
she is pretty sure of her footing be-
fore she attempts to make the jump
across the political stream that divides
womankind from mankind. Home

DRIES THE HAIR. WIN IHe dSsIst-
ance of the apparatus shown here, the
drying is made comparatively easy.
This hair drier consists of hollow
comb attached to long, flexible tubu-
lar handle. In the hollow back of the
comb is an elongated electric light
bulb, electrical connections extending
through the comb and handle. At the
opposite end of the handle is a cone
shaped device in the large end of which
is an electric fan. Air is thus forced
through the teeth of the comb and the
hair in this way quickly dried.
