A vivid description of Lid" the de-
scrfption written by a man and the lid
worn by a woman, is given in an east
ern publication. The description is so
faithful as to call forth the admiration
of even a millineT, and, besides show
ing the hat and its wearer, il shows just
how much a man knows about head
gear-which is in itself interesting. 1t
follows:
To begin with, il was shaped like a
bucket-a ten-inch high bucket-woven
of delicate pink straw, with cross-cuts
and derail switches of green mating
interiacing the pattern. IL has a round
top and a visor-the visor of a uhlan
dress parade bonnet-but not in front.
We should say not. That visor was on
one side and gave the demure impress
sion that the lady was looking off to
one side
But that was only a beginning. That
bucket hat had something on the front
of 1t that resembled a cross between
the Oklahoma coat-Of-arms and King
Meneiik's breast plate. The center of
this ornament was a sort of medallion
made of lapis-lazul stone and then
wound and wound with strings of pearls
rather imitation pearls-about the
size Of robins eggs. The centerpiece
continuance, said Mrs. Higham is
known in the region of its usual cap
tivity as a "cabochon."
The pearls wound around it until it
grew to about four and one-half inches
in diameter. Then the pearls branched
OF and formed a braid about the hat a
brilliant, gaudy, coruscating, eye oblit-
Grating braid
But the garnishing of that lid did not
stop at the "cabochun' thing. gor-
geous ostrich plume took root in one
of the twisting coils of pearls and
waved itself aloft and allow, around and
about, hither and yon, like the prize
feather in the tail of an excited casso-
wary. No matter what angle you looked
at that feather it seemed to beat you to
it around the hat.

An eastern paper has made a very
readable column article out Of the fact
that the women of Chile do not disagree
with their lords and masters, saying,
among other words Of wisdom, that it's
none of a woman's business what time
man comes home at night-or morn
ing, as the case may be. 1.-THE chances
are" says this wise one. that he Just
got in with a few friends, had some
drinks and possibly would have been
unable to come home at the proper
time even if the inclination was there"
What an excellent course to pursue.
and, surely, in Chile they have heard
of the saying It's a poor rule that
won't work both ways"

There were few in the audience, Of
course, who suspected that the dozen
American beauties occupying the stalls
were seekers after truth yesterday. but
the fact remains that following the play
they were taken within the inner re-
cesses and treated to a revelation, to
say the least, of the fair Lillian's secrets
in the art of preserving-not the usual
process at ALL and nothing to do with
the picking season-but the art of pre-
serving, nevertheless. Such results as
may be witnessed later on will doubt
less add to the fame of the stage beau
ty, while not detracting from the
charms of the local bellies.

So the rage for the ancient and hon.
orable game of keno has revived. and
the place so long held by bridge is about
TO be usurped by the more fascinating
cali game. Miss Mayme Noble gave
a resuscitating party on Friday even
ing. at which a score of her friends re-
newed their acquaintance with the
game, and Lieutenant and Mrs. Paul
Potter proved themselves apt. while
Mr.. keyes and Miss Ethel Mount
showed such a lack of familiarity with
the game that they were awarded spe-
cial souvenirs.
