the left side was big rosette OF black
velvet and iuchsia shdes of tulle
having an amethyst centre and be.
hind the rosette fell several short
black plumes of different lengths. The
hat was to be worn with a suit OF
amethyst chiffon cloth trimmed with

Smaller shape hats are trimmed
with whole skin of some fur-ani-
NAL which is so arranged that the
head OF the animal is the only or.
nament For drivig. motoring or
sports. such hat would be in good
style
\ number of the earlier hats in
satin. repp silk or fine velvet are
trimmed with flowers or foliage in
autumn tints. Huge roses are used
ana wreath of satiny ivy leaves and
buds in their autumn colUhings are
liked on hats of sumbre hues Bands
OF chrysanthemums. or violets or vel.
vet pansies, are also used. Orchids
are seen on small theatre hats of
tulle and chiffon of delicate taste.
Coque feathers arranged in pom.
poms or massed together In sphcading
plumes are seen often in the new
walking hats Wings abe huge and
several are used which practically
covered the front and top, indeed Of
ten the whole hat.
\ popular form of trimming Is the
complete feather band i'm shades
matching the hat. which Is finished
with wing or breast on the night or
left front. Such hats are sufficiently
rich in themselves not to need any
other decoration,
For she who has many hats and
tires of velvet. felt and silk there is
the shape covered with bengaline, OF
toman and liberty silk and the
beaver hat will be much worn little
later on.
The hat is now worn lower down
over the face, and the hair for that
reason is not so high I'm front as for
merly. the hair need not be puffed so
extremely full and the knot or ar
rangement of small puffs is liked in
the back The psyche knot, II prop
erly adjusted and arranged into soft
puffs that it may not look hard and
stiff. is good method of finish un.
der these hats.
\ color that is coming to its own
again is navy blue and the material
is serge. both are so serviceable and
so generally becoming that the won
der is that they ever lost iot of
favor. While the plain serge suit is
much liked. there are to be found
stripes. checks of the invisible kind,
and diagonal weaves; and again there
are some that show these designs in
some color such as a thread OF green
here and there. a black silk thread
stripe, an overcheck OF red or brown.
yet after all the solid color is best
liked The additional color is often
sought for i'm the vest. or the collar
and cuffs, sometimes in a bit of the
braiding.
With the blue suit the blue hat is
best liked, trimmed in the same color
or a contrasting shade such as tan
or black. in which case shoes and
gloves should be in harmony.

A Rock Island woman tells good
joke on her husband, whom we will
call John. He always wears negligee
shirts in summer, and is as amiable
as most men. But one hot Sunday eV-
erything went wrong with John, and
he found fault with everything and
everybody, beginning with the weather
and ending with his wife.
He and his wife, Mary, went down
town for their dinner, and on the way
down John Inundated Mary by telling
her that there were no buttons on his
shirt. When she meekly asked how
he fastened it, he glared at her and

NJ. H. Sexton, president-elect of the
Three-Eye league and member of the
national board of arbitration, leaves
tonight for New York in response to
a wire from Secretary Farrell of that
organization, calling a meeting there
next Monday. The national commits
sion will meet at the same time. 1t
was originally the intention to take
up the scalping controversy arising
over the last worlds series at Chi
cago. but it seems that this will be
allowed to go over till later meeting,
and the controversy between the class
A leagues and the balance of the minor
organizations will be threshed out. 1t
is likely that the matter will be laid
before the national commission, which
is the executive board of the major
leagues, and therefore not in position
board. Representatives of the Amer
lean association and the Eastern
league, which are rebelling against
the existing order of things, will have
representatives on hand. Of course,
there will be the usual amount of bluff
settlement without greatly disturbing
the present relations of the minor
leagues is anticipated.
Other matters that are expected to
come up are the shortening of the
drafting period and an increase in the
irN,. ~ MI IraftAl u
c and d leagues by the majors, which
was referred to a committee at the
recent meeting at Chicago to bring
before the national commission.

Thomas H. Johnston of Kewanee, for

CUTLER IS EASY FOR BELL
Canadian Lcses in Straight Falls to
Wisconsin Wrestler.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Fred Beell, the
biggest little man in the wrestling
game, took two straight falls and the
match from kid" Cutler last night at
the Empire theater. Cutler never had
a chance with the man from Wiscon-
sin and only once in the first session
was he behind his opponent. This was
shortly after the men went to the
mat, but then Beell got away rather
easily and after variety of holds
pressed Cutters shoulders down with
a grapevine and reverse half nelson in
12:15. Cutler put up a good defense
until he tired and he broke a number
of holds that boded defeat before
Beell finally was able to get winner.
The last fall was much easier, for
Beell, for Cutler practically was all in.
Beell appeared in much the better
shape and when Cutler succeeded in
getting on the offensive Fred never
was in any danger and his opponent
could not get anything like good hold
on him. The Wisconsin man got be-
hind his man and a half nelson and
scissors finished the Montreal Canuck

NO MORE pUFFs FOR HER.

We all deplore the fact that the
young ladies seem hopelessly lost to
the fad of huge hats and considerable
extra hair but there seems to be no
way of getting them to reform other
than to let the fashion die out of its
own accord. An accident happened to
one of the styles votaries the other
evening which has made a convert of
her to the smaller head dress and less
hair propaganda.
A young lady had just entered a
vaudeville theater in all the pride of a
huge merry widow" hat and an extra
vagance of puffs and fancy curls in her
hair. With 10 little gusto she swent
down the aisle to her seat and there
sat down and awaited the beginning of
the performance. Five minutes were
spent in giving the rest of the specta-
her hat and hair and then the vel
