BREAKING the News Gently.

On a recent trip of the Mauretania
Captain Pritchard was asked for a sea
tale. Here is the yarn he spun:
"once upon a time an old lady was
returning from abroad with a parrot,
of which she was very fond. She IN
trusted the bird, with many admoni-
tons. to a sailor for the voyage
"Seasickness or something killed the
parrot the third day out. The sailor,
knowing how upset the old lady would
be, could not bring himself to tell her
the sad tidings, but asked a companion,
famous for his skill in such matters, to
break the bad news to her very, very
gently. The man agreed to do it.
approaching the old lady with a
tragical face, the falnou newsbreaker
touched his cap and said:
I'm afraid that ere bird O. yourn
amt goin' to live long, ma'am.'
"'0h, dear!' exclaimed the old lady
in alarm. Why%
"t'Cause mes dead!' was the reply"

velvet HATS ADORN
leaders OF FASHION
Intended to Be Worn With
Tailored Costume and Ele-
giant in Their Simplicity.

A hal is not always exactly what it
sounds; there are times when hat is
not plain hat, any more than shoes are
shoes. AS footgear comes in varied
sorts and sizes, so are there c~hapeaux
of many kinds.
The woman who has heretofore
looked upon the black velvet hat as
always a dressy affair for occasions
should revise her opinions on the sub
ject Of velvet. Paris does not now con-
slider that material too elegant for
daily use; but her milliners do var the
shapes and the sfirrings according to
the time of day. The make UP" de-
termines the uses to which the hat Is
to be put.
To be well dressed is not to be mere
ly dressed. nor is it to be overdressed.
There IS an eternal fitness of things
of all things-and surely of Paris
clothes. They are not SEN over here
with the idea that women are to wear
them regardless of the occasion; in
deco, they are all designed for very
certain times and places. Topped by a
fray, no matter what the fray; q dozen
different occasions may clamor for con-
sideration.
The Hats the Thing.
If there is one time in the gowning
OF a woman that calls for more
thought than another, 1t is that de-
pressing moment when she confronts
the stern necessity for making one
gown or one hat do double or triple
duty. Then is 1t that a woman's inge-
nuity Is taxed. and solving the prob
lem means c1everness.
Their comes from Paris the very
hat-for Paris is q sort Of fashion
fatryland-it Is the black velvet tailored
hat. Now always we have had big vel
vet hats (save where ottoman silk and
satin lave usurped the roIe). but they
hive Eten OF the picture" variety.
shirred affairs, beautiful and new, with
Jet and metal ornaments and other stiff
TRAININGS.
These new velvet hats, while emf
nently suitable and intended for wear
with the tailored costume, are elegant
in their simplicity and can, therefore.

ONE Piece FR0CKS
FOR WEAR IN HOUSE
The Revival of This Comfort
able House Gown Spreading
Like an Epidemic.

The comfortable revival of one-piece
cloth frocks for house wear Is spread
ing like an epidemic. 1t has become
most popular with the wage-earning
class, for it saves the ~incessant laun-
dertng, mending and renewing Of wash
shirtwaists.
The girls of today look trig and at
tractive in these frocks. They are
made OF cheviot, serge, chevron cloth
and, even, tweed.
AS they are unlined and untrimmed
they have little weight. They have
enough fit to mak them smart looking.
The usual method of making is to gore
the skirt. run it high WASTED, put a
shaped panel down center back and
front that extends up over the snug
fitting, short WASTED bodice.
A few buttons may be placed or the
edges of these panels, but long rows of
them are not attractive.
Few Buttons Help.
The sleeves are often of the material
put into a snug armhole, fitting the
arm. and fastening at the wrist with
buttons.
There is quite a return to wearing
turnover lingerie cuffs on these cloth
waists. This is the fashion that be-
longs to the days when cloth frecks
were worn. before shirt waists invaded
the field.
They make a neat finish to the wrist
and are most becoming to the hand
than the line Of heavy rough cloth.
Young girls who wear the stiff turn
over Byron collars are adding the wide
flartng cuffs to match. These are trou-
blesome to keep clean and to get into
ones coat sleeve, so one must be rather
extravagant to indulge In the fancy.
1t is quite possible to wear these one
piece frocks over lingerie guimpes, and
the latter are widely sold for this pur-
pose in the shops. With the exception
bination is not altogether attractive.
Smart in One Piece.
There is something much smarter
about them all in one piece. The cloth
sleeve looks better in the morning and
the neck fits better with its own yoke
attached.
The latter is made of net the color of
the material, lined with China silk, also
of lace and lingerie.
If the frock is to be worn at the Of
flee, in the house or for shopping un-
der a heavy coat, 1t is better to have
the yoke of washable material, such as
ecru. embroidered batiste or coars fig
ured net.
If the frock, however. is made of soft
er cloth and is to be worn for semi
formal occasions, the yoke should be OF
good lace or embroidered net or plain
net dyed to match.
Everywhere there Is shown a ten
dency to wear transparent sleeves fol
formal house affairs and sleeves OF the
cloth for eyerything else.

Warmth Of Distant Worlds.
From the New Yorls Herald.

II is usually assumed that on the
more distant planets intense cold
reigns, h lou OF heat received

A greenhouse keeps warmer thar the
outer air even when not artiflicially
heated, because the luminous rays Of
the sun pas easily through the glass.
while the dark heat rays emitted by
the warnled ground cannot get out.
The heat is thus. as It were, caught

owing to my light draft. to sail Into

was unable to cross the bar, and had
to anchor outside the lightship over

more scholarly Of the two, but I must
admit that AR. Taft's carried more
weight than mine did. During my little
