Paris Bars Big Theatre Hats.

No longer will playgoing Paris lose
it's temper seriously over, or, rather.
behind, Merry Widow and other huge
hats which women with whom the hat
is paramount to any consideration for
the benefit Of their neighbors have
insisted upon wearing. No longer
will short persons have to make up
their minds to suffer eclipse and con.
tent themselves with hearing instead
of seeing what is going on. No hat
which shuts of the view of those sit
ting behind may in future be worn in
the stalls or dress circle. So far as
Paris theatres are concerned, the
Merry Widow and other big hats are
doomed from to-day. This decree has
just been made by the Theatre Com
mission In consequence of many
scenes in theatres last season caused
by the refusal of women wearing
large hats to remove them when re-
quested to do SO. 1t was decided to
prohibit, under penalty Of a fine. the
wearing of hats of excessive dimen-
sions in any theatre. But women
probably will rebel the same as ever
at having to hold the precious mil
linery in their laps. and later get it
on their heads, properly adjusted,
to be seen of men, not to mention
women.-New York Press.

Cretonne Coats.

Women who are doing the trans
atlantic this summer, for no one
says I'm going to Europe" doubt
less will bring back cretonne coats.
Cretonne coats, parasols and hat trim
mings are the rage in Paris. But it
is a fashion that only the women who
can afford to take up fad and drop it
quickly will fancy much. The Gre
tonne coat at its best is charming
for wear with sheer sumner frocks,
but one is sure to tire easily of so
pronounced a mode. Where Gre
tonne coat is worn. according to fash
ionable dressmakers, one should make
sure that 1t possesses some original
feature in cut or detail which sets
it apart from the multitude of cheap
limitations, and much depends upon
the design, coloring and quality of
the cretonne or other Powered ma
terial selected. Some of the stuffs
are wonderfully beautiful and follow
closely the designs Of the old printed
cottons and linens. Black velvet or
black satin Is used lightly upon a
majority of the cretonne models, and
upon some of the fancier kinds q
plain-toned linen or silk material. is
employed for waistcoats. revers, etc.

Small Whist Craze Gone.

One good thing about the Empire
gown is that it has killed the tiny
waist craze, which was much in evil
dence last September. The waist of
the fashionable woman then was only
span and the sensible observer had
a spasm in beholding the change that
was wrought on the pouter pigeon,
straight front figure of recent days.
1t meant the eclipse of the ample
neutrality-suspicious. athletic girl.
Years of lectures, tons of books and
the skill of many weary designers
seemed powerless to save her. Par
isians now in many cases are encour-
aging an increase of the waist, and so
strongly has this tendency been felt
in connection with the extreme Greek
and Renaissance and Direcroire
modes which are the sensation Of the
season that the yellow fashion Jour
nails have much to say concerning the
decline of the corset. But "a few
women, and those few Partisan ele-
gantes sure of the perfection OF their
figures and their dressmakers, have
discarded corsets with certain cos.
tunes, and there is no fear that the
idea will be taken up generally; new
ertheless, corsetieres are bending
every energy toward concessions tc
the lines prescribed by the autocrats
of the modes. and hips are being sup.

Boats of Concrete.

1t is predicted that the use of con-
crete in bodybuilding will largely
take the place of iron and steel. Large
boats of reinforced concrete have been
built already in Italy, and five of
these, of 120 tons and more, are in
commission in the Italian navy. The
first of these boats, a 120-ton barge.
was built in 1906. on the plans of Mr..
Gabellini, an Italian, who has given
his whole attention to reinforced con.
crete, and for many years has been
conducting experiments with this
class of material. This boat, which
was built with double bottom and of
the cellular type, was submitted to
severe tests in the Spezie Arsenal,
where much larger boat built of
iron and with an iron ram was d.
rected against it without producing
any considerable damage. After some
time, and in consequence of the salts
factory results given by his first boat,
four more of these barges were or
dered on account of the Italian navy.
Experiments and trials on a much
larger and more important scale will
shortly be conducted. - Harper's
Weekly.

Advice to an Optimist.

The Lady's Pictorial is aggrieved
because Miss Laurence Alma-Tadema
has gone across the seas to teach the
Americans how to be happy. Charity
begins at home, and there are not a
few of Miss Alma-Tadema's own
countrymen and countrywomen who
would be thankful to have a few les
sons. The Pictorial hopes that when
she has taught the transatlantic mil
lionaire to be happy she will hurry
home and take the English in hand.
This much has found its way back
across the Atlantic, that happiness
consists in managing ones self," but
over there 1t seems that there are
some people who can never be happy
unless they are managing other peo-
pie.
