formerly, so that amateur milliners would

in each detail as to curve and arrange

reproduction.
There is more reason why the pretty
hats should be made at home this year
than last. for the prices have increased

creations.

it fitted the little face and the back of
the neck. All the curves were filled in
with finely pleated frills of null edged
with lace into which tiny punches of pink
rosebuds were set.
A bow of palest pink ribbon decorated
the top of the bonnet. and null ties were
knotted in the center back of the neck

Hats inexpensive if Homemade.
The plateau must be bought. of course.

lace can be sent to the pleater. and the
ribbon can be tied at the counter. so that
there is no reason why the bonnet should
look amateurish.
For older girls an effective model to BE-
copied at home is in sailor shape. the I'M

Make Elastic Market List.

1t is not necessary to go to market with
cut and dried list of what one will have
for dinner that day and the next. 1t Is
far more economical and quite as good
housekeeping to wait until at. the shop
and be- governed by prices of the day
At one time delicious lamb will be several
cents less pound than it was the day
before. Poultry has times of being re-
duced in price, though the quality is not
lowered, and so it is with all meats in
GLIDING beef. 1t will be distinct advan-
tage sometimes to buy fish, saving money
and getting variety fox the family table
by substituting sea food for meat.
A woman who keeps house on an allow
ance will be astonished at the saving she
will make by buying carefully in this fash
ion She will either live better on the
same amour. of money or she will be
able TO put aside small sum because
1t has not been necessary to spend all
she has planned for expenses. This kind
of thing cannot be done by marketing
over the telephone. however 1t is nee
essary that a housekeeper go daily to
the shops. carrying her purse in her hand
and paying cash.

HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES.
BY Economical Marketing These
Can BE Greatly Reduced.

| When shopping or marketing women
| can greatly reduce their expense DIS by
| getting groceries in large quantities or by
| securing bargains in dress goods, for one
| of the most extravagant ways of living
| is to purchase only in small quantities,
| buying things as they are needed. 1t Is
a fact realized by few housekeeDers that
the smaller the amount bought the more
expensive is it proportionately, for 1T is
like getting coal, which, when purchased
| by the basketful, costs almost double
| what it does by the ton.
| There are many housekeeDers who have
| no place to keep coal In quantity, even
| though they could spare the money neces-
sary for a ton. but this is rarely true In
storing groceries, ETC., used In the kitchen
and dining room.
The tiniest apartment has small closet
which can be reserved as a store place,
or shelves may be put in the kitchen to
held the necessary articles. In the
kitchen cupboard small tins and can
listers will contain sufficient quantity for
weekly or daily needs, so little space is
needed there.
Soap is enc of the articles constantly
being used which costs less if bought by
the dozen cakes. All timed things are
cheaper by the dozen cans; cereals keep
| in cold weather and the price is less on
each package If a dozen are taken at
time. So many boxes would last a fam
lily of two persons many months. OF
course, but there Is scarcely woman
who has not some friend housekeeping
who would take half the quantity off her
hands for the sake of getting it cheaper
than she pays by the single package.
Flour Bought in Quantities.
Flour is better for the keeping, and
meals are not hurt if kent cool. as may
easily be done at this season Of the year.
All of these. at one time or another. is
to be had at bargain prices. When q
woman intends buying a gown she is AIT
to watch the advertisements in the daily
papers and go where she can get what
she wants the cheapest. Many grocery
departments of large stores are frequent
ly mentioned in the firms advertisement.
1t is by watching these from day to day
and buying the necesaries as they are of
fered that woman will greatly cut down

STEEL STEAMER
 RUINS BRIDGE

Toledo, O., March 6.-The big steel steamer Yuma was torn from her moor ings this afternoon by the rush of water in the Maumee river and crashed Into the bridge connecting the two sections of the city, tearing out a span and car rying it into the river. Harbormaster Page was on the span and was thrown into the river. Boats sent out finally rescued Page. Two, other men were caught in the crash and one of them was seriously injured. The Yuma is a steel freighter owned by the Wilson Transit company of Cleveland and is laden with 5000 bushels of flax.
 The bridge is the main artery con meeting the east and west sides of the city and was used by street cars as we'll as vehicles and foot passengers. The river is now falling in front of the city, but the streets along the docks are food ed and the basements of many business houses are filled with water, resulting in great damage.

 The high temperature in the middle of the day caused such a rapid tnaw in the suburb of Gage Park that the streets were flooded with water and the waves raised by the wind were driven into the first floors of houses, compelling many people to seek refuge in the second story. Later in the day the pupils of one of the public schools were taken home in patrol wagons by the police department, the water at some street crossings be- ing too deep for them to pass through.
 One of the chimneys of the sherman House was blown over during the morn ing and the bricks fell through the glass canopy at the south side of the hotel, narrowly missing a number of people on the sidewalk.

in a book entitled "A Random Prosper ity," written by Chancellor Day, President Roosevelt was severely criticised and that in his opinion Dr. Day had violated the rules of the Methodist Episcopal church in thus assailing the President. MT. Cook stated that the specific charge preferred was defamation of character. He consd- cred that although Syracuse university is under obligations to the Standard oil peo- pie by reason of large money gifts Chan cellor Day was not justified as minister of the Methodist church in assailing the President.
