Use to be the ultra-smart millinery
style for the summer, both in the
black and the pure white.
Ideal summer hats are made of
linen or Shantung silk to match the
gowns with which they will be worn,
The favorite shapes are those which
have fairly high crowns and wide,
shady brims, lined underneath with
some contrasting tint and draped with
a soft silk scarf, patterned with
Paisley colorings.
More of what are known as made
hats" are being worn this season than
for several years past. These are not
confined to the dressy type, but round
hats of the street and tailor made
variety are fashioned of straw braid,
sewed on a wire frame. While they
are much heavier than the woven
straws worn at present, they are more
apt to keep their shape.
The round crowned dropping
brimmed mushroom hat of the babies
grown to more imposing size is one
of the most popular shapes for the
girls from to 10 and varies in
width and angle of brim and in trim
ming. Many of the play hats in this
shape have only a ribbon band and
futtering ends for trimming, but
others are more deliberately trimmed

Jewel Thieves Take Diamonds From
Home Just Outside Pittsburg.
The biggest diamond and jewelry
robbery of late occurred in Pittsburg
early last spring, but the police are
only now making it public.
The value of the gems stolen amounts
to about 100000, yet the police refuse
to make known the name of the per.
son robbed. They admit, however, that
they are on the track of the man or
men who stole one diamond valued at
$4,000, and enough other jewelry and
precious stones to total the 100000.
1t is thought that the house, which
is said to be situated just outside the

the family were at home.

On the subject of hygienic attire for
women, there has always been a great
deal OF honest nonsense talked and
much misspent trouble taken for the
reason that great number of people
nave the type of mind that irresistibly
associates the ugly with the healthy
and the nauseous with the wholesome.
Just as they think medicine cannot
be ef1icacious unless it is thick and
black and nasty, so they think women
cannot breathe and prosper unless
they look like bale of hay with the
middle hoop cut; and in pursuance OF
this conviction they refuse many of
the alterations of life, among which
sugar-coated pills and well-made cor
sets should take high rank
When looking at the portraits OF
the Spanish school of which Velasquez
is master, one is constantly struck by
the way the women seem to be con-
fined in some barbaric instrument Of
torture, so fiat are their chests and so
narrow and tiny the uncomfortable
looking drawn-down waist. Surely no
material less rigid than wood could
be trusted to produce this invariable
effect in women of all ages and de-
gree. Now turn from these women of
medieval days to a modern picture
gallery, and observe the freedom, the
individuality, the graceful ease which,
for the most part, the woman of to.
day permits herself, and is permitted

Learued How to Pack Trunk.

woman; thereafter think closing my
trunk will have less terror for me.
You see, l always seem to have 1t SO
crowded that it requires the COM
bined weight of several members of
the household to close that cover.
Well. the other day, when 1t was time
to take my trunk to the station, there
we we're, three of us, trying to get
that trunk closed and locked. Finally,
in sheer despair, looked at the man
who was patiently waiting and in a
most appealing way, invited him to
sit down upon that trunk to see If he
could close it. Did he do as l sug-
gested? No-spmething better. He
calmly lifted up the top Of the trunk,
took out the top tray and fitted 1t in
the top of the cover; presto, that cover
with the top tray inside, went down
as nicely as could be. 1 am not try
ing to explain why it did, but l know
that it did. And, like a missionary,
am passing the idea along"

not necessary to contrast her with the
woman of the middle ages. She is so
much more comfortable and sensible

So much has been done of late years
to improve the corset that its reproach
as a menace to health has, in fact, been
wiped out. The best corsets no longer
interfere with the breathing apparatus
and many modern corsets leave the
diaphragm free and support and re-
strain as they should. With their
help and provided that skirts are not
too heavy and dragging from the hips,
women are often better off with cor

riman, lay its success to the perfect
team work of Mr.. Hartman Is lieuten-
ants. In the management of the great
Hartman system there has been an
all star cast of big Drained, energetic
men, each of whom was a component
part of the big machine and all of
whom worked together, for it has been
a matter of note to those on the inside
that all friction and jealousy had been
eliminated from among Mr.. Hartmann
lieutenants in their relations with one
another.
The core of Mr.. Harriman's organi-
cation, that part of it upon which he
relied for the perfect administration
of his railway systems, consists of
few men. Julius Kruttschnitt is one
of these men. John G. Stubs is an
other, and A. L. Mohler make up
quartet of probably the ablest rail
way operators, acting as whole, to
be found anywhere in the United
States. Then, in addition, there are,
on the operating side, L. F. Loree, J. T.
Harahan, Albert ]. Earling, Marvin

Henry Clay Prick, P. A. Valentine
and William G. Rockefeller, Jr.
