JOG, JOG, JOG, AWAY THEY GO!
FOR THEY ONCE JOINED THE
ARMY, o!
And Thirty Miles Are Now Prescrib-
ed as What an Officer
Should Ride.

It's a sad, sad song the officers sing. for
a saddened lot are they, for boots and
saddles the trumpets called this morn at
break O. day. Full thirty miles they must
ride today and not a man dares fall, and
each one says that the great big stick
has large and cruel gall.
They started today at reveille. a glum
and touchy crew, their arms were stiff.
their backs were sore and their legs were
black and blue. For some have sat in
easy chairs and others in automobiles,
and most know little Of equines, but lot
about pneumatic wheels. What terrible
thing it is to be an army officer. Yes
they'd much prefer the bounding waves or
the spray of the seas duress.
IT'S the only time the army brown looks
long at the navy blue, and they wish with
the strength of soldier hearts that the
long test ride was through.
They do not make the naval men test
out In an open boat. We think the army
has got In bad and it looks like we were
the goat"
That's what each officer says to his pal
as they ride so i'll at ease, a-hangin on to
their horses names and squeezin' in with
their knees.
And look We. Washingt onians, Sit up
and see who's here. A man we'll known
to all the boys has on his riding gear. In
khaki brown and polished boots he leads
the sad pell-mell. None other than the
boss of parks. brave Col. Charles Brom-
we'll
An what does he know av ridn'?" the
park policemen say. The answer can't be
solved tonight. but wait till Saturday
For that's the day the troop returns well
sick O. the ninety mile. They started rid
ing four abreast-they'll come back single
file.
Yea, single file with dropping heads and
backs and legs that ache, and avoirdupois
will suffer a change, and all for the
armys sake.
So give a cheer for rs and the boys at
Bunker Hill, who dosed the tyrant. George
the third, with many leaden pill: and
cheer the boys at hot San Juan, who made
the Spaniards run, but don't forget this
hard-luck troop, for it deserves the bum
Historians. note these heroes bold. and
pause to think a while of a tribute fit for
these horsemen bold-these Men o. Ninety
Mile
Whick. in blank verse is to say. that the
second leg Of the thirty-mile ride of army
officers begins this morning at Fairfax
Court House.

find themselves in the midst of the
busiest section of Rockville yesterday
afternoon, and in their mad haste to get
away from the unusual sights the en-

with fur crowns or fur scarfs around

it is desired to hold the tresses in place.
The hair below the bow usually ends in
soft curl.
Quite small girls look very quaint with
a ribbon bow placed at the top Of each ear
to confine strands of hair that fall down
at the back of the ears. A pretty fashion
for girls little older is to roll the hair
back from the face, tie in the nape of the
neck with broad ribbon, second bow
to appear at the center Of the braid.
AS to the ornaments for these coiffures
there are pretty ones for school girls
party wear, and new designs are appear
ing every day. The ribbon threaded filet
comb is a favored decoration just now,
and single rosettes of ribbon quite large),
set on behind the left ear, are becoming
to almost all types.
Wire filets. twisted with soft ribbons in
delicate. shades and trimmed with small
ribbon flowers. are exceedingly effective.
Very beautiful filets may be bought for
$50, S2.7o and 1915, or one can buy
the flowers, the frame and the ribbon all
separately and make them up at home.
This will come cheaper and the work is
not difficult.
Green ribbons, decorated with daisies,

VERY LARGE HATS STILL
GROWING IN POPULARITY

Despite predictions to the contrary, the
large hattie very large hats still
fashionable but the tendency this sea-
son Is to have the trimming rather fiat,
except in the case of the dressy plumed
hats designed for afternoon and evening
wear Some Of the smartest hats shown
by the importers are quite severe in
trimming, but the lines Of these hats are
SO good that they are generally most
becoming. One particularly smart shape
which would be excellent for street wear
with a tailor gown. is shown this sea-
son by local French importing shop.
The brim Of this hat is very large, rolled
slightly at the left and down little
at the right side of the back. The crown
is low, but very large. and is wider at
The base than at the top, which is round
ed in mound shape. Corded silk with
rather a large rib, In any desired color,
is used for the top of the hat, the under
brim being faced with black MORE silk.
The shape was shown trimmed In two
ways. one style which was especially
smart for young girls having only
twist OF wide black MORE ribbon around
the crown. with large bow at the left
side of the back, the pointed ends of
which were allowed to fall little over
the edge of the brim The other style
Of trimming was little more elaborate,
as 1t consisted of a large gourah feather
in quill shape with d stiff rib in the CEN
ter, fastened at the left side of the front
with a small fiat bow of black satin
ribbon.
An Attractive Combination.
A very attractive combination and one
that will be quite smart this season was
in mustard color corded silk, with a wide
gourah quill feather to match, fastened
at the left and allowed to cross the
front of the hat. little bow of black
ribbon fastened the feather. and the brim
was faced with black MORE. This new
mustard shade is very attractive with
black, and can be worn with almost any
other color suitable for the street. ex-
cepting. of course. any of the shades of
red. 1t is really a very bright, warm
yellow brown and is also seen this season
in little touches on the new fur coats
and street costumes.
One-tone hats are to be very much
the mode. and some charming models
were shown at the same importers in
corded silk MORE and felt in elephant
gray peacock, dark mauve and blue.
Fruit trimmed hats are in evidence. and
are really very artistic in the new models,
One lovely hat was made. oddly enough,
of white mourning crepe faced with dark
brown MORE The whole top of the hat,
with its low crown, which was like a
low, round inverted bowl, was of the
white crepe and white was encircled with
glossy dark green leaves and large cherries

quite at the other end OF the cage. Congo seizes
that chain with his trunk and jerks it down
