Cretonne for Winter.
Since cretonne trimmings are to appear
on some of the winter costumes there is
no good reason why the cretonne hat
should not likewise be worn. at asst I'M
til snow flies. The hats of this material
designed for September wear are some
what on the Charlotte Corday order, but
lack the softening frilly edge of those de-
veloped in lingerie and lace. Some of
these have crowns partially swathed with
black velvet ribbons, big black velvet
bows and black ostrich tips at one side,
but newer and more practical models for
cold weather show black velvet crowns
with printed brims. velvet edged or with
velvet brims and printed cretonne
crowns.

NURSERY OF ROYALTY.

The little heir to the Spanish throne
has begun his babyhood in a suite Of
rooms entirely after the fancy of his
royal mother. Spanish etiquette requires
her to conform to ideas other than her
own on most points. but in the fitting OF
a nursery her word is law. The furnish

could possibly conduce TO a baby's health
and happiness.
The suite, directly over the queens
apartments, on the sunny side of the
palace, consists of living room, dining
room. bedrooms for the baby and head
nurse. bath and sewing rooms.
The living room is decorated in green
and white, with showers Of little pink
rosettes. The vaulted ceiling is enameled
in white and around the wall runs a
frieze of animals in Noah's ark-like pro-
cession. Light green shades temper the
sunshine.
The angles of furniture and walls are
all softly rounded. SO the approved meth
cd of standing a naughty child in the cor
ner face to the wall could hardly be
adopted in this case. With the excep-
ton OF the rose-colored English carpets,
everything in the suite is washable.

Laymen, a popular engineer at Vet
eran, aged 3S years, took his life
some time Saturday night or sunday
morning. His body was found about
9 o'clock Sunday morning by his
roommate. John Griest. Laymen
had then been dead for several hours.
Although Laymen left no word of
explanation, it is we'll known among
his associates that he was respondent
and owed considerable money, the
debts having been contracted because
of his inordinate love of gambling.
Several weeks since ne told Joe
Brewster, former roommate, that
he owed several hundred dollars
which he was gradually paving off.
At that time he stated in a laughing
manner that II he ever commenced
gambling again he would kill him.

suicide, Mr.. Griest. in going through
his trunk. found a small package of
cyanide of potassium and in jest
ing manner called Laymens atten-
tion to it. He told him that in case
he ever wanted TO take the suicide
route this was the thing to do it
with He described the quick action
of the poison. At that time Laymen
laughed and said. If my luck don't
change l may want to use that.
The matter passed off as a joke and
no more was thought of ii by
Griest.
Laymen. who was working on the
night shift as engineer. failed to go
to work at the Veteran Saturday
night, declaring that he was Ill and
did not feel able to go through his
shift. He retired for the night sup
posedly rather late.
Sunday morning Griest. noticing
that Laymen was still apparently
asleep at o'clock. called over to
him, intending to spring a joke. On
receiving no answer he called to him
again and finally becoming frighten-
ed, went over to the bed in which his
roommate law and shook him. He
saw to his hofrer that Laymen's eyes
