ions it is not recorded While the
summer lasted there was little pros
pect of diminution in extravaganza,
alike in size. color and decoration,
and, while many of the greatest ex-
tremes are shown at present. both in
size and manner of trimming, there
are signs of reaction to styles of a
studied moderation and unquestioua-
bly, good taste. In color there is a de-
cided tendency towards green of va
rious shades.
The fleet of many hats is spoiled by
the dressing of the hair, which fire.
quently has an inclination to allow the
deep brim at the back to drop too low
down over the shoulders. An appear
ance it would be impossible to make
more unbecoming is the back view of
deep brimmed hat flattened against
the head, and the edge meeting
feather boa.
Just at present it is fortunate that
there is such an admirable array of
untrimmed shapes. This should be an
encouragement to the home milliner.
great many women who cannot de-
sign hats or methods of applying trim
ming are quick to tell at a glance
when they see a hat whether or not
it would be becoming, and If they are
good at copying can turn out a most
beautiful looking hat for a compare
lively small price
jaunty, smart little hat is shown
in black velvet. 1t is a shape that,
fitting way up as it does on the left
side, would not be becoming to every
face, but if it did suit would be be-
witching. The crown is covered per-
fectly plain, then there is narrow
bow of velvet ribbon, which lies fiat
against the side of the crown on the
front, and a beautiful black plume
comes from under this and falls grace
fully over the top of the brim on the
left side. Bow and plume are held
in place by handsome rhinestone
buckle. If one had a plume and could
cover and make the hat it would not
cost much and would really be hand
some.

POINTS FOR NEEDLE WORKERS.
Little Hints That Will Save Much
Time and Labor.

In knitting it will be found much
easier when casting on stitches, if
using very large needles, to introduce
an ordinary steel needle in place of
the large one held in the right hand.
Use the steel needle for knitting
the stitch and pass it over the large
needle. This is to be done only when
casting on stitches.
Handkerchiefs are marked in old
English letters of very small size.
These tiny letters are often placed in
the center of a circle done in the
finest of over-and-over embroidery.
For sheer handkerchiefs use very
fine mercerized cotton.
By reversing a shirtwaist pattern
and lengthening it at the narrow part
it may easily serve as pattern for a
skirt panel.
Feather stitching is always dainty
finish for child's dress, but it should
be very evenly done and as small as
possible No. mercerized cotton is
best for the work
Marking cotton in that soft, cool
shade known as china is used great
deal in buttonholing and scalloping the
edges of turnover collars.

NURSE RESCUED
FROM SLAVERY
GIRL Is HELD PRISONER FOR
TWELVE DAYS ON NORTH
CAROLINA PLANTATION.
PLANTER WILL BE PROSECUTED
Victim Lured to State Under False
Pretenses-Led to Believe She
Was to Preside Over
Mansion.

Asbury Park, n. J.-Weakened and
unnerved by the terrible experiences
she had undergone in log cabin in
the wilds of North Carolina, Miss Olga
Sjostedt, a trained nurse, who was
held prisoner IL days on the planta-
tion of 7. e. Pender, has returned to
Asbury Park, accompanied by Thomas
Broderick, police officer of this city,
who was sent to her aid by local Of
ficials at the solicitation of the nurses
friends, whom she had applied for aid.
Miss Sjostedt, according to her
statement, is the fifty-second woman
that has been secured under false pre-
lenses and held prisoner by Pender
with vicious intentions. Her rescue
by Broderick and the North Carolina
officers was effected after the former
had battered down the door of the
shack, which was unfit for human hab-
itation.
Miss Sjostedt had been locked in
her room by Pender, who was absent
from his plantation at the time. The
plantation is ten miles from Halifax,
n. c.. and consists of 1200 acres.
Three hundred negroes are employed
on the place. Pender arrived soon
after the officers had rescued the
woman. He stormed at the officers,
but when the latter displayed their re-
volvers he subsided and permitted the
girl to depart with her rescuers. Be
fore leaving Pender returned ten dol
lars he had taken from her and gave

rescue. but | was in hurry TO re-
turn to Asbury Park, and we left after
the county officials assured me they
would see to it that Pender was pun
ished as he deserves
Miss Sjostedt said she will prose
cute the planter to the full extent of
the law. According to the nurses
story she went TO North Carolina, be-
lieving she was to preside as house
keeper over an antebellum mansion.
She secured the position by advertis-
ing in a New York newspaper. She
reached the plantation the day before
Thanksgiving Instead of the pictured
mansion she was ushered i',to the two
room shack. which formerly was
liquor saloon and which was filthy.
The windows of the r. oms were
barred. In searching her room she
found n bundle of rags. beneath which
was the body of n negress. Complain
ing to her employer, he replied
20. that was my last housekeeper.
| will have her buried tomorrow"
This was the only promise he full
filled during Miss Sjostedts enforced
sojourn.
Pender made improper advances to
the nurse. She repulsed him and
seizing her hatpin drove him from the
room, after which he bolted the door
from the outside. She was locked in
her room every time he left. and she
was most of the time veritable pris-
oner. At night she wrote letters to
her friends in Asbury Park ana sue
ceeded in mailing them AZ the rural
free delivery box when her inhuman
employer was eating or in his room
smoking. Letters from ker friends
were intercepted by Pender and de-
stroyed.
Miss Siostedt was forced to get up
at five O'Clock in the morning. milk the
COW. feed the pigs and chickens, and
clean three horses. Her Thanksgiving
dinner consisted Of corn bread and
salt pork cooked in old tomato cans.
She threatened to leave Thanksgiving
day, but Pender insisted she would
have to stay for three months. Night
after night he attempted force his at.
tentions upon her. but each time she
repulsed him with her only weapons,
hatpins. Learning the officials were
coming to take her away, Pender
forced her to sign paper saying she
had OF been Ill treated.

HOW VEIL SHOULD BE WORN.
Some Things to Consider with This
Indispensable Article.

Invariably the veil should harmonic
with the color of the hat, though dark
gray and golden brown are fashionable
shades that may be worn with almost
any colored hat.
The smartest driving veil is of ivy
green chiffon, with tucked or hem
stitched border, and is worn pinned
closely over the hat and face with
flying ends.
While this shade is best suited for
the eyes. it also has the advantage
over other shades that it harmonizes
with almost any color.

The reduction will doubtless stimu
