Serviceable Hatpins

FIRST we had large round hatpins
OF tortoise shell and celluloid, and
then we had long thin ones of the
same materials But while our minds
were busy running to these eccentrici-
ties the jewelers. were busy designing
pins to appeal to fair woman, and now
the result OF their efforts IS given to-sthe
public.
The Very latest hatpin IS ofegolds and.
like the seal of a Inasculine watch fob,
engraved with the monogram or crest
OF the owner. These pins are very beau
tiful, and, while they are very expensive,
they are we'll worth the money, for
there is nothing fragile about them and
they should wear long time.

The Newest Pumps

THOUGH this is not season fer
" pumps. many new designs have
been introduced. for the directoire
style demands a more or less dressy
shoe. The very newest idea is to have
the pump fastened to the foot by
strap of leather which encircles the an
kle. This is not placed in position
where it will show-in fact. under ordi-
nary circumstances, 1t cannot be seen
1T all-but it adds greatly to the COM
ort of the wearer. These pumps may
= procured in all sorts of feathers, but
lost of them are decorated merely
with plain buckle in the front. which
is admirably suited to the prevailing
fashion of dress.
For high shoes there are many boots
shown. with tops to match the mate
rial of the gown and vamps OF patent
leather These have never been consid-
cred good style by conservative people.
but indications would show that this
year they will be universally worn.

while the bodies and tails fall straight
down the back and are Joined with
wide band of byzantine silk. placed
about twenty centimeters above the
waist. This style is particularly attrac-
tive with high-waisted gowns of the
present day.
Skirts seem more and more skinny
round the feet. and the little fulness
there is is caught and fastened with
large chou. as one sees on window cur
tains-or else bow.

coca sions it is only necessary to select
a more sumptuous material; but 10
change an elaborate design into seem
insIv simple gown. to alter the style
without altering in any way the mate
rial or the trimming-what could be
more difficult?
The suits pictured today are of veivets
and cheviots, built on the directoire
style. which is pre-eminentIy elaborate.
Yet they are each simple in outline and
they are all appropriate to wear wher-
ever a tailored suit Is necessary.
The hats for these suits do much
toward making the costumes severe. for
they are almost all comparatively un-
trimmed
The first suit is of black velvet trim
med with a tiny design of soutache
braiding on the collar. down the front
and on the sleeves The vest is OF
white satin. finished with large satin
covered buttons, while the hat of black
velvet is trimmed only with a single
white wing This suit is really not so
very plain, if one would go by descrip-
up it is no more elaborate than it
would be were it made of serge and cut
on the old box-coat style.

of the directore. Instead of the high

Best Method for the Protection of a
Diamond Stud.

IAN acquaintance of mine had q
queer experience the other day." said
man who has not much faith in any
thing. "A short time ago he was In
troduced to a pickpocket by a friend.
The pickpocket is one Of the best in
the business.
my friend didn't think anything
more about him, but the other night
he was in saloon, after he had been
celebrating most of the day. He was
pretty happy and the pickpocket came
In. My friend had diamond stud in
his tie with a screw attachment. The
pickpocket walked up.
"'You may not remember me- he
said, but met you the other night
with so and so. Take bit OF advice
from me- You may lose that sinner
of yours IL you're not careful
Then the pickpocket looked at the
diamond He said the screw attach
ment wouldn't stop a good thief from
getting the diamond, but he could fix
It. He ffshed around in his pockets
and produced rubber band, which he
tied around the screw.
NOW he said, they can only get
your stone by biting it off,"

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING
PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy 1t is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad-
vantage of the simple means Of pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adIlterated
white lead.
1t Is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that

MOTHER, AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts.

The value of this famous food Is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its chem
lcal analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these &C.
reals.
It contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more OF this element because the
brain and nervous system Of the child
grows so rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value OF
Crane Nuts In not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
after my baby came l did not re-
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said 1 could not nurse the baby
as did not have nourishment for her,
besides i was too weak
"He said / might try a change Of

No Automobiles There.

marched by was even more enthusi-
