The Word '.Umpstideous. 7

would now be no need for Ananiai clubs and such inventions which per. tain to modern political methods.
 Suppose, for instance, that President Roosevelt and Mistacoma could be in- duced to adopt umpstideous and use 1t wh enever they feel inclined to invent new comb nations of sound of their own to express their pent-up feelings. In such event the mild bird of peacs would build her nest in two capitolt and catch up with her increasing and multiplying. In which she has been de- linquent.
 It does not seem probabIeSthat Mir. Taft will find such crying need epr the new word. umpstideoua though he Is hereby advised to master it's various uses against the day when he may run short on soft soap and other lubri. cants in the rush of official duties.
 The objection is made by one master of languages man with the hon. Orary degree of B. S.-is that some iconociast like Ebert Hubbard will ruin the word and impair its useful ness by insisting on giving 1t a mean Ing of it's own, independent of that intended by the user or construed by the usee. That matter will have to be attended to by statutory enact ment in all English speaking coun- tries. What good will umpstideous 0O IO A AA oOihC WAY cographer puts 1t in his dictionary and hangs limitations on it? will have had my labor of invention and pro- mitigation In vain and the umpstideoua will become as commonplace as any of the 6O,000 others that have arisen strutted their brief day upon the stage and then gone into silence of some tomb.
 The murder of q word, or a Ian. RuaRo should be an international of- fense: a. crime. with fitting punish. ments imposed; but how much more a crime would be the murder of umpstId. eous. which promises greater boons to humanity than the professional pro. hibttIonist, promises.

 Tn inventing and. placing on the market the word umpstideous, feel that I have succeeded in filling want which has long been felt by those who make a living or seek fame by the use of language. I expect writers and speakers of generations still dwelling in darkness to arise and call me bless ed for having given this urnpstideous boon to the peddlers of words.
 JJmpstldeous is the missing word the one which win fill the place when you cannot think of the other. which YOU have been in the habit of using :. 1t has any meaning with which the user or the usee choses to invest It, and may be used either as an adjective a noun or an imprecation, though pre- dict 1t will become principally popu- lar as an adjective, because of the poverty of our language In adjectiVes that really hit the spot.
 Umpstideous should prove great boon to society editors. who. without exception, have worked the old sup ply of descriptive adjeetives until they ara too thin for the northeast quarter of Mrs. We're de Vere's ball dress. Call if umpstideous and let 1t go at that. The lady of whom 1t Is written Ia go- ing to be dissatisfied with the aoJec- lives, anyhow, and they are usually positively painful to the society editor and the public. Without adJeetives, however, the paper would lose a sub scriber right there. so umpstideous steps in and fills the breach. satisfying. filling and as nutritious as any adjec- tive now in use.
 In politics, how often mans future has been wrecked upon word, when an umpstideous career might have oeen saved by the judicious use of this new word which I have added to the lRn- guage Had a certain preacher used it freely on one occasion instead of Rum.

rated collar and cuffs Of tucked

Black hats are still considered the
most elegant. They are frightened by
wonderful plumes, aigrettes in all
shades and yellow paradise feathers.
A clasp of barbaric metal ornament
ed witt colored stones Is used to hold
plumes or feathers in place. :,
We are accepting flowers for mil
linery. Lace ana WOOL uses reiieve
the all-fur toque. These lace roses
are exquisite. They occur in soft
ecru shades with centers OF silk rose
petals.
Wool water lilies or roses are also
striking. Soft material which resem-
bles wadding is used to form the
petals of the flower. On one OF the
glorious days at Juvisy several women
wore hats of long-haired felt. with the
upturned brim held by these wool
flowers.

huge pearl and rhinestone buttons and
clotn coats trimmed with fur are among
the collection.
Muffs are made of several materials
combined with fur. They are i'm
mense in size and for evening wear
are frequently decorated VIA arIlti-
clal flowers. In a popular little tea
room was seen an attractively goWned
woman who carried huge mum made
of cloth to match her suit. There was
an outer flap or pocket into which
small packages were slowed. Bands
of fur trimmed the edges.
Tiny cravats Of fur are just as pop
ular as the hug shawl shapes. These
latter are soft. and are draped in
folds over the shoulders.
Corbeau blue has a rival in the color
world in a soft tone called cinderella

for morning suits and afternoon
gowns
On jabots and cravats a touch of
black persistently appears. Some
times 1t is simply knot Of black or
