latest -tfizzUsry Styles

We are back to We olden time it
seems. One of the real novelties
in hats is the Spanish Turban.
1t is shown in both pressed and
made up shapes and both are
very good. Another Spanish
effect is the Cavalleri-a large hat
and with plumes OF flowers is
very attractive
Another type of small hat is the
High Grown" turbans and Al
pines.'' The majority of these
types are turned up sharply at
the side and are very rakish and
daring. The old style sailor hat
is as dead as the proverbial door
nail, but the shape bent here,
slanted there and crushed and
turned is very much in evidence
and very popular too.
The ''Nazimova" is creating a
furore, and the merry Widow"
hat is very close second. The
| latter is made of Tuscan Braids
in open work effect and is GER
tainly a stunning shape.
One of the newest things is an
automobile hat called the Cadillac.
Not long ago society lady of
Kansas City complained that she
/ could not get hat that would
stay on and look decent while
motoring. The firm. I buy OF
said: I'VE can make you a hat
that will be becoming in an auto
or out and your hair will not be
blown or frizzy.'' And they
made up the hat, and so great has
the demand become that they
now make several styles of auto
hats, the one I admire most
being the Cadillac.
Hats, l find, will be trimmed
mostly with flowers, ribbons ant
net. Fancy ribbons are used tt
some extent, but flowers greatly
predominant. Flowers are almos
life-lilze and every kind you Cal
think of is shown and worn.

which for a time saved him from being
confounded with the other brigands
who were prosecuting robbery, murder
and pillage under the pretense of MAX
ing war, was the capture of Brig. Gen.
E. H. Stoughton. No matter what may
be said nowadays about the COnfed-
crate guerrillas, they We're men who
were much more intent upon personal
gain and of avoiding service in the Con-
federate army than they were of fur
thering the interests of the Confederacy.
Gen. Lee and his officers constantly
complained of these rough riders, who
were under no military authority, tho
they claimed commissions from the
State, who would not fight in the ranks
like other soldiers, nor make them
selves useful for any military operation,
but who harried the country, taking
horses and supplies which the regular
soldiers needed, subjecting the people
Of the country to hardships and rigors
Of war that were unnecessary. Lee and
his officers were perpetually trying to
get these men into the depleted ranks
of the regiments, but without success
They had political and other influence
sufficient to retain some shadow of au-
thority from the State Government, and
defeated the efforts of the conscription
officers to bring them into camp. The
best service they rendered the Southern
COnfederacy was occasional valuable
bits of information which they brought
in during their intervals Of raiding and
robbing. Mosby had started out at the
head of q band of these irregulars, but
had been caught mapping by our cav
airy and sent to prison for two months.
Upon his exchange he kept his eyes
about him as he passed thru the lines,
and gave Gen. Lee early informa =
ton about Rurnside's movements which
had been Of much value. He at once
gathered his band about him again,
which was reinforced by some deserters
from our army. One of these was a
Sergeant, named Ames. of the 5th N. Y.
Cav, who had a grudge against his Off
GERS. and went over to the Confederacy
for revenge. To carry out this and to
make himself solid with his new COM
panions he offered to pilot Mosby into
Fairfax Court House, where he could
capture Gen. Stoughton and Coils.
Wyndham and Johnstone. With the as
sistance of the deserter Mosby and 80
men passed directly into Fairfax Court
House in the middle of the night, and
found Gen. Stoughton asleep IN house.
Stoughton was with some difficulty per-
suaded that he was in the hands of the
guerrillas, and was carried off thru the
lines with 35 Others, the help of the
deserter being again exceedingly useful
in passing thru the Union guards.
Wyndham was in Washington and
tombstone escaped. He heard the COM
motion while Stoughton was being cap
tured, and running out in his night
clothes hid behind a haystack until the
enemy was gone. Col. Mosby in BAT
ties and Leaders gives this account OF
his achievement:
