HATS FOR YOUNG GIRLS.

The mushroom hat as first intro
duced has gone altogether out OF
favor, although in it's most modified
form it will last throughout the win
ter. but the tendency to stiffen and
tlatten out the brim is rapidly increas-
ing. so hat a stiff sailor shape, per-
haps bent up slightly on one side or
even curved up all around, is really
the safest style of hat in which to in
vest. As a somewhat fiat effect is nov
popular, with the hat resting down
close against the hair, a bandeau can
generally be dispensed with. so hat the
only trimming necessary consists in at
taching the stiff bow to the felt or vel
vet shape.
Large lace bows are extremely pretty,
and especially for an OLD black hat is
this mode of trimming effective. A net
hat bordered with satin or mauve vel
vet requires no further trimming be-
yond the large net or lace bow, while
for school. as felt or velvet are more in
keeping with the costume, the bow may
be Of ribbon, velvet, silk or net or lace,
black, white or the color of the gown
and hat.

A FLOWER GOWN.

An American multi-millionaire's
check book would snap itself shut at
sight of certain gowns which Paris
dress experts predict will be the vogue.
But the shrewd modistes will wait,
knowing that the most frightened
financier eventually grows tired of re-
peating the word "economiZe." At the
rebound of fortune the newest new
rich" will rush to buy these gowns. A
famous French dressmaker says that
among the most elaborate materials
viii be satin-fowered crepe de chine in
dead white. covered with brilliant de-
signs, copied from the tissues Of the
Italian Renaissance. These magnih-
cent frocks," he goes on, will be
named after flowers. The lily gown is
patterned with clusters of Easter lilies
and maidenhair fern. The skirt is cut
plain. and the trails of lilies are con-
tinued on the bodice. The corsage is
decorated with lace. embroidered with
pearls, silver and pale green beads. The
violet evening gown is made from
pink chiffon. hand-painted with bunch
es of purple ~violets, tied with silver
ribbons. y band Of silver tissue on the
bodice and sleeves is starred with
amethysts and pink coral. The mar

and am going to ask you how to re-
store my throat to it's one-time fulness
and firmness. Someone told me that
exercise was good. Is there any help
for me? MIDDLE-AGED.
The possession of a beautiful throat
is not half the difficult thing it would
seem, but, like everything else that
tends to make a woman beautiful, it
requires care.
The woman who will can restore her
throat to its one time firmness and
~roundness, but it viii require more
than talking about it to accomplish her
purpose.
She must exercise, and more than
that, she must exercise faithfully.
The first movement consists in al
lowing the head to droop forward
gently until the chin touches the
breast. or as far forward as it will
without straining.
Next raise the head slowly and throw
it back gently as far as possible, talk
ing great care not to strain the mus
cles in the least. Repeat both move
ments at least twenty times.
The ne9t exercise consists in NOV
ing the Head slowly from shoulder to
shoulder while the body is held mo-
tionless. Turn the head as far as pos
sible to each side, making sure there
is no strain on the tendons.
This exercise should be practised
twenty times, the head turned first to
the right and then TO the left ten times
each way.

SPOILT CHILDREN.

Don't spoil your first-born, even
though to you he may appear the most
wonderful baby in the world.
Don't let him grow up in the belief
that he is a little King, and allow him
to rule you and other members of the
household like a despot.
A spoilt child is an unhappy little
creature at best. If he cannot get eN-
actly what he ANTS he usually cries
for it. and sometimes. If you asked him
the cause of his noisy grief he could
not tell you what he wanted, or why
he is crying.
Then thi1k of the bad time he viii

and what a lot of settling down there
will have to be before he can really en-
joy the life.
The contempt of his fellow-scholars
and even his masters for the ''spoilt

sion in many ways. most of them de-
cidedly undattering, and w%ounding to

In this day of curled coiffures there
is very little chance for she of the why
locks if there be a curly-haired girl
about. Dame fashion has decreed that
the hair of the woman who coVets
beauty must be softly waved and
curled, and since it is a pretty fashion
and n becoming to nearly every
woman, 1t is one that has met with al
most universal favor.
Fol the woman who is not blessed
with wavy locks much may be done
with the waving irons and the little
punches of artificial curls and puffs so
much worn today. These are made of
natural hair, very often ones own
combings, and are very unlike the
fake hair" worn by the beauties OF
our grandmothers' days.
The accompanying illustration shows
what waving the hair will do to add to
ones attractiveness A good marcel iron
must be used to produce the full, loose
curl, and great care must be taken not
to scorch or burn the hair. When the
hair is dressed with little tufts of curls
such as those here pictured, nothing
prettfer can be imagined.
The very latest way of adjoining the
llnia' is by drawing bands of gold rib
bob or bands to harmonic with the
gown in and out through the puffs
andt curls. This may be easily done
with the use of a long eyed bodkin, such
as is seen in the illustration.

wash brush, which can be bought at
any oil store. then have a bucket of
clean, soft, warn water, in which yell
low soap has been lathered. Dip your
brush into the water, slightly squeeze
it, and commence rubbing gently from
the bottom Of the paper, working up
wards. You will thus have your paper
free from smears and the yarnish IN

To remove old wall paper; wet the
paper all over two or three times a
day with a damp cloth, when it will

to which have been added a few drops
of carbolic acid. The latter is a strong

TRACKED FROM NEW
YORK AND ARRESTED
Downfall Of Trusted EmPloye of
United States Express Company
Attributed to Infatuation
for Race Course

Theodore c. Lowe, 81 years old, was
arrested in a local cafe last night by
Detectives Zeigler, Chapman and Home
on charge of grand larceny which he
is alleged to have committed at New
York city.
The specific charge against Lowe is
the theft of $3.50 in money and a book
of blank money orders from the Unit
ed States Express company while he
was employed as an agent for that
corporation.
Two months ago Lowe was a trusted
employe of the company. He began to
play the races, and, to cover up his
losses, was compelled to secure money.
His peculations, small at first, began
to increase until he saw he was unable
to make restitution. Then he fled.
He was followed to a local cafe last
night and placed under arrest while
ordering dinner.
According to the detectives, Lowe ad-
mits taking the money but denies he
stole any money order blanks. He will
be held pending the arrival Of officers
from the east.
