flame by the strong wind that has pre-
vailed here for the past two or three
days, and apparently the fire secured
a good foothold before efforts we're
made to extinguish it. The flames
made fast progress and soon swept
through the remains of the beautiful
promenade along the harbor front The
small force of flremen was augmented
by detachments of soldiers and sailors
from the warships and pumps and
lines of hose were brought ashore from
the vessels.
The survivors OF the earthquake
have been rendered more helpless by
the intensity of the cold. The hills
all about are white with snow and the
refugees are suffering greatly. Many

The shock was very strong at Chill,

stricken. though no serious damage
resulted there.

n NE of the questions of the moment
is the linen suit which many per-
sons wish to have made at this sea-
son of the year. At least. it is consid-
cred good plan to have some of ones
warm weather clothes made at this time
for the South, if one is so fortunate as
to be having trip to the summer climes,
or, If not, for the starting of the warm
weather campaign, when it is always well
to have something on hand.
In the illustration is shown most
attractive linen suit. which, if desired,
could be developed in light weight woollen
material as we'll, but which seems par
ticularly suited to the Numbered costumes
The suit is of gray linen, trimmed with
soutache braid of little darker shade
and with four small buttons on each side
of the front Of the coat
The coat and a princess gown form the
costume, for this season is to see the
lingerie waist with the linen suit no
longer the only possibility. Suits made
up of the princess gown or Empire gown,
with perhaps guimpe of thin white ma
terial, and rather long coat to match
are to take the place Of the suits to be
worn with thin waists.
The gown worn with the costume in
the illustration is tucked from the waist
up in fine and, of course, hand run tucks.
The skirt is plain and the costume so
cut that the tucked waist and plain skirt
seem to merge into one another most
admirably. The skirt is not at all full,
but at the same time it is not remarka-
bly, clinging The gown is finished with
a high tucked collar and a silk cravat.
As may easily be imagined a costume
such as this would not be particularly
comfortable for warm weather when
made up in linen of a heavy or even

to the mad riot of color and shape certain
hats stand out as being especially smart
and distinctive, and when, after trying
them on, they are found to be becoming
it will be discovered that there never was
time when such becoming and wholly
satisfactory hats could be bought. The
prices, too, run the same gamut, and while
the cost of many is appalling $3.50 and
so on, there never has been season when
there We're so many good hats to be
chosen at such comparatively low prices.
while in the untrimmed shapes there is
such wide range of cho'ee of hats that
require singularly little trimming that
any woman who has the least talent for

is season when hats are enormously
expensive she buys. fewer, but she still
buys at expensive establishments. and in
the end she is ready to assert that she
has spent less and has done better than
the woman who, also weighing carefully
the cost, buys double and sometimes treble
the number of inexpensive hats.
There are large hats and small hats
and hats of medium size this season.

noted, and most becoming effect can
in this Sway often be secured, for the
lining can be chosen to suit the wearer
of the hat 1t must be cleverly done, too,
as this lining is almost hidden under the
down turned brim.
And there are so many new weaves of
straw this season, from the finest to the
coarsest, from erin to the wide knobbed
effect, until the task of choosing a hat
seems harder than ever, when packages
of braid are submitted for inspection as
we'll as shapes and colorings. Black and
colored straws are alike popular, but
there seems at the moment to be pref
erence in favor of either black, deep Tus-
can yellow or the darkest blue-so dark
it is difficult to decide that it is blue and
not black. Two colors. such as natural
straw color and black, are often COM
bined to advantage. the top of the hat
of one and the facing of the brim of an
other, but, again, these contrasts are to
be counted among the more novel and
striking styles and require to be chosen
with all due elaboration.
There is curious difference in the flow
ers that are worn. Roses of large size
with sprays of green leaves and the most
minute of flowers closely massed together
are used or the crown of the hat will be
completely covered by sprays OF tiny
flowers. Nothing new about this style
may be said, but it is the way in which
the flowers are put on that marks the
fashion as new and original and OF this

millinery can easily make herself a smart
looking hat.
The luxury of modern dress is exhib-
tied more clearly in hats than in any
thing else. The woman who buys what is
becoming without being hampered by the
thought of the amount of money she is
spending either buys the first hat she
sees that suits her style or else has it
made, and she buys recklessly, this hat
because she likes the color of the trim
ming, that because she likes the shape,
&C.. until twenty or thirty are accumu-
lated. The woman who buys carefully
devotes-she is obliged to to secure the
desired result--hours of search to secur-

But the large ones are in most instances
on the elaborate order, and for the next
six weeks it is safe to assert that the
general number will be of medium size
and will have some reference to the
wearer thereof. At the same time. the
fad of the moment is for the all envelop-
ing shape that fits down over the head
and in its exaggerated rendering quite
conceals the hair and casts such shade
over the features as to act as very
passable disguise. 1t is a dangerous fash
ion to be rashly advocated, for it is so
possible of vulgar exaggeration at the
same time. properly rendered, it is smart
and becoming. Faced brims are to be

Individuality and originality, by no

black patent leather could be used to trim
a yellow straw or that flowers like forget

could be so mingled that, while suggesting
the idea of a fruit salad, the effect from a
