too interesting a place to leave. The other
young woman, who has been equally popu-

in favor OF a civilian.
Two other cases that attracted much at

concerned, seem to have terminated in the

LATE HATS AND HATPINS
Novelties for Women and Children
and What They VIII
Cost.

Clusters Of pearls in round and oblonE
shapes form the heads Of some of the new
est hat pins. These pins, are to be used
for mourning hats as well as for general
headwear, though the more conservative
woman will probably prefer the same de-
signs carried out in gun metal.
A beautiful hat pin In a new design is
large, round and flat, Of gun metal, set
with rhinestones. Then there are enamelled
pins, the butterfly being one OF the new
est designs, in a number Of pretty color
ings. The pearl pins are $50 each and
the enamelled 50. No one interested in
ohildren's hats can fail to notice the quaint
effects they display this season.
The most popular shape is the medium
mushroom, the saucer crown and dropping
brim, but in the trimming the quaint note
is struck.
Recently such a pretty example of this
was seen. The hat was OF fine French
felt In a shade Of navy blue trimmed
around the crown with a quilting of blue
ribbon passing through a wreath of old
fashioned fuchsias in all their natural
coloring Of reds, puppies and whites.
Though very smart and uncommon looking,
