"CD some inexplicable reason
II June and October seem to be
two favorite months for we'd
dings Every girl in her youth
full dreams imagines herself being a
bride In either one or the other OF
these months while, somehow or other,
May-the most attractive month of the
year-is regarded with horror by the
superstitieus.
The June bride may be dressed In
simple white batiste or handkerchief
linen, Just so there Is embroidery anc
other handwork lavished upon 1t. But
the October bride must be gowned In
something more substantial. Satin,
Of course. is the conventional fabric
for the conservative wedding gown,
and there are many who prefer the
traditional marriage garment-made
without reference to future useful
ness Others there are. however. who
from necessity or choice-are more
practical. For such. crepe de chine is
a very good material for the bridal
gown and one that is sure to hang
we'll. OF course. 1t is far less ex-
pensive than satin.
The fashions this year lend them
selves we'll to the bridal costume.
The dress shown today is so arrang
ed that the material falls softly and
gracefully around the figure, while the
yoke Of tucked tulle fills in the neck.
This may be removed after the we'd
ding. when the practical bride is in
need of decollete evening gown.
The lace which forms the sub-yoke
must. Of course, be good-that is to
say, 1t must be real lace. no matter
what kind. Real valenciennes will do
as we'll as any other. Duchess is also
admirable. Brussels applique Is beau
tiful and soft. while venetian point
lace is perhaps the ideal kind to use
for the purpose.
The dress is made with a high belt
line. a particularly pretty style when
a gown is finished with a long.
sweeping and graceful train.
The veil is arranged in the new
way. The hairdresser who draped

Outing Hats of Felt

NEW felt outing hats are trimmed
= in many ways-some with ribbon.
some with quilts and some with
wings-but funniest of all is the white
felt hat with a lingerie frill, hem
stitched. round the crown and a cab
page bow Of light blue ribbon at one
side. These felt hats are large and
some have bowler crowns. The brims
are wide and very pliable, and alto
gether they seem to be made as near
~ like the softest panama as pos
sible. These hats are mostly in gray
or white. 1t has been said that gray
the very dark shaded will replace
black. During the coming season M
lady may wear an all-gray hat with
her winter suit, rather than the black
hat which has been worn for so many
wears

ATTRACTIVE JUMPERS

The new jumpers are sold ready made
and are Of khaki or linen. while cuffs
and collar are of blue or red duck or
denim. In every way the jumper re-
sembIes the regulation sailor suit save
that II does not necessarily have the
anchors and eagles and other decora-
lions of the sort upon the left arm.
Nothing has ever been found in the
neSlige line that is more becoming
than the sailor collar Somehow. 1t

surely necessary for the athletic girl
Young girls-girls under Twill find
the new jumper invaluable when such
an informal costume is allowable. In
stead of short walking skirt. the young
girl may wear the new circular bloom
ers which look exactly like a very short
skirt. They have every comfort and
divided skirt.
Not only games may be played in this
costume, but il is made of warm ma

The jumper will be made of soft fan

TO protect the wearer from the cold
and to give her ample room for ener-
Yetic motions.

For the Athletic Girl

~HE girl who is fond of athletics Is
certainly very lucky lady to be
born in the present generation. for
she has everything for her comfort and
enjoyment Games are invented, fields
are set aside-all for her pleasure!
Statistics show that as the American
woman grows taller and taller the
American man becomes smaller and
smaller OF course, this is very
alarming state OF affairs-particularly
alarming for posterity: but. as Mark
Twain once said, why should 1 bother
about posterity? What has posterity
done for me?''
Notwithstanding alarming statistics.
girls continue to follow athletics, and
the newest costume for out-of-door
sports is the navy jumper. Unconfined
at waist, loose at the arms and neck
what more comfortable. free and easy
garment could be constructed for the
energetic contortions required when
playing basketball or tennis?

NEEDLESSLY
LOST IN MINING
Experts Deplore Care
less Methods Used in Amer
lean Coal Districts.

washington, Oct. 2I.-Important sug-
gestionsN for minimizing loss Of life
I'm the coal mines OF the United States
are contained In a report submitted to
president Roosevelt through Secretary
Garfield by the three foreign mining
experts who have investigated condi-
lions in American mines. Those 'ex-
perts-Captain Arthur Desborough, Of
England, Victor Watteyne, Of Belgium,
and Carl Meissner, of Germany-came
to this country six weeks ago at the
sinvitation OF the United States govern
ment, to assist in the movement looking
coward a reduction Of disasters In
The examination of explosives by the
government with o. view of eliminating
the moro dangerous kinds and to i'm
proving and standardizing the most
suitable for mining purposes, Is recon-
mended. That operators should select
those explosives which can be used to
the best advantage under local condi-
tions; that all explosives should be
made into cartridges before being taken
into the mine: that shooting in or off
the solid should not be practiced, and
that the use of q larger CT arge than
is required should be avoide&.
That greater care should be exer-
cisco where gas or dust Is known TO
occur in the mine and that watering
should be more effective are also sug-
gested In the report.
Recommendations regarding new con
struction, shaft lining superstructures,
ventilation and haulage are made.
The experts attach much Importance
TO h use of electricity for mining OPP
eratioris ard for shot firing as of value
an safeguarding the lives Of miners.
It IL the opinion of the experts that
safety and efficiency in coal mining
would be greatly aided through the es-
tablishment and maintenance in the
different coal regions Of special schools
for training fire bosses, mine forernen,
superintendent and inspectors.
The foreign experts deplore what they
term the permanent loss Of coal in min
ing operations In many portions OF the
United States, which, they argue,
might be prevented through the intro
duction Of more efficient methods.

PATRICK BRINGS CHARGES
UPON PRISON OFFICIALS

Washington, Oct. 24.-The motion Of
Albert Il. Patrick, who is serving a life
sentence in Sing Sing for the murder
of William Marsh Rice, for an appeal
from the decision Of the United States
circuit court, denying him a writ Of
habeas corpus, will be presented to
the supreme court.
The brief, prepared by Patrick him
self, contains sensational accusations
against courts and prison authorities.
: Alleging that he Is suffering from a
complication Of grave diseases, Patrick
charges that the prison Is conducted
with the intent and the effect Of in
Turing the prisoners mentally, morally
and physically, and generally to- their
utter ruin" He says the prison author
tiles "hold an arbitrary and i%rrespon-
sible control over the prisoners, ex-
,ercised with arrogance, contempt and
malignity, under Of which the
prison and other state officers steal in
part the appropriations made for the
state prison"
He declares that he Is in prison as
a-result of the arbitrary exercise OF
lDower by the then Governor Higgins;
that the court which tried his case
was without Jurisdiction, and hence,
that he was illegally convicted.

MANY NEW HATS p
HAVE RIBBON STREAMERS

On several OF the new hats brought
out to catch the fancies of those who
must have new millinery now, there
are strings at the back or front made
of satin ribbon.
Those that tie at the back are pre-
ferred. They VI made into a wide
bow that falls just over the collar, and
the ends reach to the waist.
One OF the newest designs has @
brim which Is made up of long but
tonholes through which a ribbon is
threaded exactly as though it were @
piece of underwear.
AS the brim tits far down over the
nape OF the neck, the ribbon easily
slides of it, into a large fiat bow and
long ends. There is no other trim
ming on the hat. 1t is of dark blue,
fine horsehair and the ribbon Is OF
satin to match.
It might not be q reckless expert
ment for a girl who has q horsehair
hat which needs retrimming to cut
the brim into buttonholes with sharp
scissors, overcast the edges with but
tonhole stitch OF black floss, and then
thread them through with soft black
liberty satin ribbon.
II she does not wish the conspicuous
bow and ends, pretty as they are, she
can finish the ribbon into a wide fiat
bow in front hat may be pulled up
against the crown.
