THE PUMP BOW.

The bow of the moment is the one
called the pump bow because it is
copied from the ones put on low
shoes. It is made with three loops
at one end and three at the other
Of equal width but not equal length.
There are no ends.
The center is covered with a one
inch strip Of the ribbon, laid in two
or three plaits down the center.
Everything about the bow must be
stiff, precise and well measured. It
Is customary to make these bows Of
silk velvet ribbon, as velvet is hav-
ing such a remarkable popularity as
trimming.
AS rule this bow is SUFFICIENT ad-
dition to the usual hat. 1t is quite
enough trimming for the everyday
hours. It is not against millinery
ideals, however, to Offset the bow
with an immense bunch OF flowers ON
4 the other side or wide-blown rose
on the brim at the back.
One must be careful to place the
trimming on good line with the
bow. otherwise, the balance is lost,
and the lines Of the hat are bad.
While the loose bow copied from
child's hat is always placed at
the back, the pump bow Is across
the front or the side. 1t is new
fashion to place it on the brim in
stead Of the crown or run it half and
half in bias line. The conventional
method to which many adhere is to
Place it directly on the crown across
the front.-New Haven Register.
NEWPORT SUFFRAGrsTs A JOKE.
Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont's votes

Newport. has been taken as source
of humorous comment by Western
newspapers. and the general opinion
is that Newport had pleasant af-
ternoon" without the slightest gain
to the cause which Mrs. Belmont pro-
fesses to have so close to her heart.
Thus the Kansas City Journal
writes: "No one possibly could object
to Mrs, Belmont's way Of passing a
warm afternoon To be sure, the
women OF the Newport set are about
the last people on earth who need
votes or would exercise the right OF
suffrage If they had it. Under a
system created by men these women
have about every material luxury on
earth. Their condition could not be
bettered by the privilege of the bal
lot. Yet II Mrs. Belmont's pretty en-
tertainment is not calculated to
stimulate the cause OF woman's suf-
frage II is quite certain 1t will do no
harm. After all, 1t is much pleas
anter to contemplate the women OF
the Belmont set gathered in har.
mony and peace on Marble House
lawn than to picture them members
Of street mob fighting police and
seeking martyrdom in the CUTTERS
DO WOMEN LIKE FOOD?
The "nicer" woman the less she
cares about eating. 1t is sound mas.
culine rule to beware of women who
really relish good dinner. who can
order and eat 1t in a first-class res
taurant without mental disquietude,
and who can say offhand what liqueur
should follow meal that had been
grouped around. had led up to, and

Somebody's 1900. l mean it is
sound masculine rule to beware of
choosing wife from among them.
They may be capital dinner compan-
ions, but they will make poor wives.
Somewhere about them will be found
a strain of greediness and extrava-
gnnce not far below the average
males. And that is fatal except in a
millionaire's household. The proper
order of things is that women should
cater and men enjoy. There have
been no great women cooks and no
great women writer's on cookery--for
the same reason that brings all diet
retormers sooner or later to grief on
