TAG, YOU'RE IT.
New Liquor Law They Are Trying
 to Create.

New York. June 26.-That buyers of alcoholic beverages as we'll as sellers of them be compelled to take out licenses is the proposition which George W. De Cuhna, an architect with offices in New York. has em- bodied in an ordinance which he has presented for adoption in his home town of Montclair. N. J.. near here. Under the proposed ordinance every purchaser of drink must be sup piled win a license and metal badge. Should a liquor dealer sell to man not thus tagged he would be rendered liable to prosecution with the revocation of the selling ii- eeHse as penalty. The ordinance doesn't say how the tags shall be worn. the idea presumably being to give the wearers libery to follow their own fancies in this respect.

FAIL MODES FOR CHILDREN

Pretty Materials and CoiOrs-COats
Rather More Simple In Character

Babyish and Therefore Detachable.
The autumn coats and bonnets for the
very small women follow the picturesque
lines indicated in the smartest summer
models, and are even more attractive
in the winter cloths and felts and veivets
than they were in the summer silks and
straws.
Coats for little girls of from 8 10 9 years

but they make up In beauty Of material
and in color for the scarcity of trimming,
and the prices asked for the best Of the
little models are by no mean low. In

ever, it should be an easy matter for a
mother of good taste to have an attractive
coat made for her little daughter at COM
paratively little expense.

the models. The huge creations trimmeo

babyish hat It would be hard to imagine,
and vet II has that indescribable quahty
which for want OF a better word we cal

Some variety is given to- these models
by slight differences OF trimming and OIL
course by the ooloring, thoug h the shape
ia seen more often in white than IN any
other color. Some Of these models In
fine white felt have the dropping brim In
wide white braid and a soft white liberty
scarf with fringed ends knotted round
the crown and falling in two short ends
at the back. Others have a chou and ends
for finish, and occasionally a ruche or
pufinR Of silk Is substituted for the scarf,
or a frill Of chiffon or net or lace over the
brim from under the encircling ribbon.

eral shape has quilted white velvet ribbon

against artificial flowers for babies hat

liRhtful effects with them. Imagine o

Still for those who do not like the
flowers there are plenty Of ribbon trimmed
models and the ribbons Of to-day are
beautiful.
An unusual number OF brown bonnets
Is noticeable among the models for very
small folk-the soft woven light browns
trimmed in darker shades Of the same
color, or perhaps q bonnet OF creamy
white felt trimmed In one Of these browne.
and there are many little brown coats with
which the brown baby bonnets will har-

such garments made, but when n comes
t o the light colored coats Of fine cloth
the prices soar suddenly and distressingly
and though there may be of a mod

the one made at home, the latter will
certainly cost less and a clever seamstrees
can turn it out in very satisfactory form.
Setting aside the all white coat, always

zones and pastel blues are the tints best
liked for child coats. with vivid red always
popular and certain soft biscuit and mode
colors of the character once known as
champagne p~erennially blooming.
The rose shades In all materials are
peculiarly lovely this season and the de-
signers Of children's coats have evidently
appreciated that fact. for they have turned
out little models in all the delicate soft
pinks from the creamiest. lightest rose
petal to a soft French rose with the silvery
bloom which appears in so many Of the
rose tints.
One sees, too, coats of the jrdise and
other berry pinks or reds. but there is an
unwritten Law Of good taste which has
generally prevailed in connection with
little children's clothes and which DEGREES
that the odd and unusual ~tones-those
colors generally grouped AZ degrade
are suited o sophisticated wearers rather
han to children, and to the latter are given
the franker, purer oolorings, though these
may be softened to pastel occurrences.
Some OF the very prettiest among the
new tiny Goa models are made Of the
finest broadcloth In soft rose hue and are
made up quite severely, with only a little
self-strapping for trimming and a small
rundown collar Of beaver, chinchilla
or ermlne a the only relieving note.
These same models are offered, too. in
the pastel blues and the prices range from
SIS to $50.

that Mccormick saved his life by his own
treatment.
Mccormick was hunting through scrub

He looked down and saw the snake drag

His leg pulsated with pain, and he soon
became deathly sick. In his weakened
