LUST now there is nothing more in ,u teresting to the shopper than the milliners windows. They are abloom with their autumn millinery, and their offerings seem much more to the taste of the average woman than were the early showings of the season just passed These new hats will not be the sport of the caricatur- ist, as many modes for spring were. They are not startling. and they are elegant and attractive. Dame fashion seems to have adopted a new fad judging by the new fall stayles, it is fashionable to be sensible in choosing at hat. There is a drift toward dur ability in all millinery and especially in hats for the street
 Hats of silk, cloth or leather pre- dominate and trimmings are of quills, wings, Well-made fancy feathers com bined with ribbon, velvet or maline. This last looks fragile, but since the process of water-proofng. it has been discovered. it holds its own with other millinery fabrics.
 Three pretty new models illustrate the seasons modes. The round hat trimmed with quils is draped tur- ban made of beaver cloth over a buck. ram frame. This hat is also seen made of broadcloth, felt, silk and of chamois skin combined with velvet Some of the best models shown for fall so far are made of chamoi. As it may be successfully cleaned it will appeal to those who require a durable hat and want pretty one
 This model is a happy choice if one happens to own piece of good broad cloth, or other heavy fabric, left over

KEPT HIS HOME FOR SPOOKS
Oregon Hermit Built Twenty Rooms in Which to Entertain Spirit
 Friends.

Lebanon. Ore.-When the body of Andrew Hale, hermit and eccentric character, was cut down after he had committed suicide by hanging, more evidence of strange life was found
 Hale's house had a basement of stories and an attic. He had built in all about twenty additions, mostly small rooms, each for the abode of a departed spirit of one of his friends The house was filled with all sorts of curious things, gathered together to amuse the spirits of his dead friends when they should honor him with their presence.
 A vast lot of shoe strings, several clocks musical instruments and vari- ous articles were there The collec. tion must have cost him more than 2,50O.

GATHERED FRlLLS OF LACE
Useful in Arranging the FuIlness on Corset Covers Used with
 Thin Waists.

girl who is little inclined to be thin will often find it hard to make the fullness in the front of her sum- mer waists sit just as she would like to have It. These thin waists cannot, of course, be kept in the proper lines all the time, as thicker ones with bones can and they need adjusting when they are put on. A great help in arranging the fullness is to have little gathered .frills of lace or em- broidery on the corset covers to be used with thin waists.
 These frills are also most useful with all lingerie gowns. Many of the most beautiful of these gowns have fronts that are largely made of very thin lace insertions, and they need something to hold them out. Besides, the effect of these little ruffles is much better through the transparent lace and lawn than when the buttons of a corset cover can be seen.
 The frills should not be sewed to the corset cover but to a separate piece of muslin, which must be ar ranged to fasten on the corset cover with tiny buttons, or can be fastened with the very small safety pins under the upper ruffle A piece of muslin or lawn must be used large enough to cover the front of the corset cover from near the top to below the bust line. On this are sewed two or three ruhles-the number depends on the height of the wearer and the width of the lace used-made of a lace strong enough to stand considerable washing. or of embroidery.

Premier Asquith Reported to
 Have Played on Sunday.
Quick Contradiction Causes Some of the English Publishers to Be Suspicious-kng Edward Has
 Similar Experience.

London.-Premier Asquth's recent motion in both Westminster and Fleet golfing experiences caused big con- street Through mistake in tele- graphing the premier was understood to have played his record three hours round at Litlestone links on Sunday afternoon.
 Now the question of Sunday playing is still burning one and, although in many clubs it is permitted if the play CTS act as their own caddes, there is a tremendous section of the population which regards the Sunday golfer as one disregarding the Sabbath.
 Great was the excitement through out England Monday when the reports of the premier's Sunday Solfing were read, and the nonconformiSt conSci- ence, which has been a bane to many Liberal premiers, was touched to the quick.
 The Liberal electoral organizers at estminster at once realized that If Sunday golfing by their leader was to be added to their other responsibli-
 
 were foregone conclusion.
 MT Asquith was telegrapLed to and promptly replied the report was erro- neous, and thereupon the news agen- cies and newspapers were asked in hot haste to kill the story on the wing.
 The form in which the contradiction was sent out was unfortunate, as it suggested that the whole story of As quth's play was incorrect. Those re sponsible for Its publication stuck to their guns, and excitement ran high until it was ascertained that what Mir. Asquith wished to deny was that he had played golf on Sunday.
 It was Saturday afternoon that he had a game.
 King Edward has just hac an expert ence of similar kind. On his return from Marienbad, before going to Don caster, the king paid a visit to the Marlborough club. This is the only club in which his majesty retains ac- tive membership, though of recent years he has been rarely seen there. His one time favorite corner in the smoking room has always been re- served for him, and even his fayorite chair.
 Once year he makes point of din ing at the Marlborough, and the Sun day after his return from Marienbad was this year elected for the occasion. The dinner was served for four, and afterwards the party sat down to bridge.
 Now, King Edward likes his loyal subjects to know what he is doing, and instructions were given that a paragraph was to be communicated to the press relative to his majesty's visit to the Marlborough club.
 1t happened that the person who framed the paragraph mentioned that after the dinner his majesty had played bridge. It was just upon mid. night when one member of the royal circle, possibly it was the king him. self, noticed the unfortunate circum- stance that the bridge playing had been mentioned. Telephones were called into reQuisition and special mes sengers dispatched to Fleet street, and after considerable furry the item was deprived of it's dangerous adden- dunn,

Hiqh-Waisted Skirt.

There is a line in gowns that threat ems to keep it's popularity This is the one that brings the skirt material up to sharp point at the bust in front and between the shoulder blades at back
 Not even the woman who is having her best frock fashioned in this man ner admits that the upreaching point is a pretty one. The human figure seems to demand points and curves that go downward. but in the turn about-face of the universe of clothes in the twentieth century one is thankful to escape with merely a perverted point.

horses driven by Stark baked and the prize was Fairweathers.
 The annual blowing match is the great event of the year among the farmers of northeastern Illinois, and a long procession of automobiles, car riages, wagons and conveyances of every description reached the Lum- bard farm until the roadway for a distance of two miles from the farm house were crowded with vehicles.
 The contestants in the post-gradu- ate class began the work of turning the furrows in the half acres assigned them. Straight as the traditional shortest distance between two points they seemed to follow the line, and their admirers looked on with breath less interest as each one slowly and carefully held to the course.

Was Without Water and Had Practi- cally Abandoned Hope of Escape
 from Prison.

Los Angeles, Cal-Lost in a can yon on San Clemente island, with no water and but little hope of being found by other members of his party, United States Senator Flint spent seven unpleasant hours the other day
 Flint was a member of party com posed of Clifford Pinchot. United States forester; Steward Edward White, wellknown author, and Charles F. Holder.
 San Clemente lies 35 miles ocean ward from Catalina, The party had an excellent time fishing, tramping, ex- ploring the Indian mounds, etc. They started on one of these expeditions, and when returning Senator Flint saw what he thought was a short cut to camp He tried 1t. He soon found himself working down the narrow runaway Of a deep canyon. lie was not long in reaching the bottom of the gorge. The sides rose almost straight. He turned to go back, but found that he could not. The can yon walls were of decomposed granite. Senator Flint tried to work his way back, but fell and rolled 50 feet, sus- taining many bruises. but fortunately escaping severe injuries. His only way out was to keep straight on down. He turned his steps. It was desper- ately hard work. creeping over the edges of dry waterfalls. sliding from. on grade to another. and making way down the canyon bed.
