friends and the charming part of 1t is
they can easily be made at home.
They come in all varieties, shapes and
co1ors; seine are attached to the evening
wrap; the majority are separate.
There is the huge ealash which is the
most fashionable one. 1t is copied exactly
from the one worn by our ancestors. 1t
is very wide in the brim, loose in the
crown and ties with great bow of lace
or satin under the chin.
This brim, which is about six inches
deep. is run through with featherbone,
and the material is arranged in gathered
headings over each strip.
The crown is, huge puff, to allow the
new couture, which stands out about five
inches from the back of the head, to go
in it without being crushed.
Then there is the ordinary Arabs hood
which is cut In two pieces with point in
the middle back and wide facing over
that.
This is made of lace, lined with satin
and perfumed with sachet. 1t has four
inch plated frill of lace and silk around
the neck. Whatever shapes these hoods
assume they must ut be small. If they
are-goodbye to the couture!

A Pretty Tribute To the Late
Mrs. Astor

Among the many things which have
of New York's -Four Hundred" since
her death within the past fortnight moth
ing is sweeter or more fitting than the
following tribute which appeared in one
of the New York papers. In substance,
it Is to this effect:
Society in two continents mourns the
death of Mrs. Aston. In the passing of
this widely known and greatly admired
woman the end of a social dynasty Is
recorded. Never before in this country
has any one individual so completely held
the sway of social leadershfp-a reign
gladly conceded, for Mrs. Astor, by bitrh
breeding, force of character and tact,
combined with generous and kindly con-
sideration for others which won her many
friends, was pre-eminently fitted for the
position universally accorded her as the
leader of American society.
Conditions have changed in the social
world within a few years The colIec-
ton Of individuals termed society has
increased in numbers and broadened in
ideas. 1t seems scarcely possible now
that any person will ever again occupy
the place held so long and so we'll by
Mrs Astor. There are half dozen
women now to one In former days who
are accepted leaders, but society needs
them all and Is not disposed to give trib-
ute to one.
ut is needless to say that her many
friends feel a great personal as well as
social loss in the death of Mrs. Aston"

snowsIide Near LeadvilIe.

Leadville, Colo-A disastrous snow
slide occurred on Long and Derry hill,
near here, Sunday night, when about
800 tons of snow and rock swept down
the mountain side. The slide carried
away a part of the ore bins and shaft
house of the Aurora Mining Company,
in Iowa gulch, and came within few
feet of cabin in which half dozen
miners were sleeping. The men were
awakened by the roar and rushed from
their beds. They knew from the sound
that a slide was on its way down the
hill and started for safety. When the
slide had passed they saw that their
home had not been touched.

American Car in Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-The American car
in the New York-to-Paris endurance
race left Cheyenne at HIPS Monday
morning and reached Laramie, fifty
six miles west, at :45 p. m, making
the run over the summit of the Rock
les without mishap of any kind.
People were astir early to give the
racers hearty send-off, and long be-
fore the hour set for their departure
the streets were filled with enthusiastic
people. Shortly after 10 o'clock the
racer left the garage on Capitol ave
nue. and ran down to the Inter-Ocean
hotel, where E. Linn Mathewson, Har-
old Brinker, George Schuster, Captain
Hanson and others were photographed
in turn at the wheel of the big round
the-world auto. The moving picture
machine shot off several rolls of films
and at exactly 11:25, preceded by the
pilot cars and followed by number of
Denver, Cheyenne and Laramie autos
the start was made down West Six
teenth street toward the Rockies.
The trip over Sherman hill was
made via Granite canon, at which
place the route left the Union Pacific
tracks and entered Laramie via the
fish hatchery.
The weather is fine and the roads
are improving, and the American car
should make record time through Wy
oming. The racers appear to be in no
hurry, however
Mathewson will drive the car as far
as Ogden, where the wheel will be
taken by Harold Brinker, who will
take the car to San Francisco. From
that point George Shuster who has
been with the car from the start, will
be in charge and in all probability he
will take the car into Paris Captain
Hanson. the explorer, is still with the
car, and says he will be in the party
when the car reaches Paris.
