SMART LEGHORNS TRIMMED
WITH LACE AND ROSES

Leghorn hats have been accorded
greater vogue this season than they
have enjoyed in many moons. Always
a favorite, they have surged past their
rivals and have mounted the top
rounds Of the millinerial ladder.
The natural wheat color is the most
expensive and. of course, the one most
in demand.
Leghorns are variously dyed, but
the natural hue is the color most
sought. It is sufficiently neutral to be
worn with almost any color and com
bines equally well with one or sew
erel.
Present shapes are most in demand.
These follow the picturesque uncon-
ventional shapes of the eighteenth
century.
On these natural toned leghorns
laces are employed most advantage
ously, especially those I'm black. Chan
tilly is the favorite mesh. but lierre.
Spanish guipure. old Italian and Flem-
ish patterns are very effective
Upper Brim Faced.
The brims are faced. the crown and
the upper brim also. The lace is
laid fat over the crown or draped;
sometimes the tullneSS is drawn INTO
a little loop directly into the center,
radieting; again It is laid in several
small fine folds At other times II
is stretched fat.
Lace scarfs are used for this pur-
pose and one does not want to sacri-
fec the lace to the scissors. A light
drapery solves the problem satisfoc-
torily A scalloped edge is always
desired, and usually finds its way on
the under brim, extending to the edge
or several inches from it, where il will
come into prominence.
Roses in real and unnatural shades
are established favorites. Exquisitely
! lcvely are the little rococo roses In
their soft, subdued tones.

violating the Sherman law. The in
dependent organization strongly urged
the movement for government control
Of telephone and telegraph companies,
in order that the Interstate Commerce
Commission might regulate rates and
prevent discrimination.
VIII Put Ban on Franks.
The use Of telegraph or telephone
franks will be shut off by the new law.
The telegraph companies have dis
tributed many franks TO public men in
the past. These will be shut on and
the telegraph companies have already
taken steps to stop the use OF franks
after August II.
II is not clear just what authority
the commission has in respect to re-
quiring publicity from those COM
panies. II Is expected. however, the
companies will not refuse to comply
with regulations the commission may
make in this respect, since refusal
would lead TO amendment of the law.
The provisions as to rebating by tele-
one and telegraph companies are
igue and II ia not clear that the gem
sral interstate commerce law pro-
hibitions against rebating apply.
PrOWers Much BrOadened.
Not only does the new law give the
commission power to suspend rate in
creases for ten months, until their
justification can be looked into, but II
so broadens the power of the commits
sion that there are not many phases
of railroading and of the business of
carriers over which It does not have
control OF course, control of capi-
talization is not yet given, though
Congress will come TO that later. But
il is required that classiications must
be just and reasonable and that just
and reasonable regulations must pre-
vail as to rates. tariffs. regulations or
practices and all matters relating 20
or connected with the receiving, hand
ling. transporting, storing and de-
livery Of property subject to the act.
Under the language of the act the
commission can practically regulate
the train service. or at least lay down
regulations affecting well-nigh every
phase of train service. and no doubt
enforce them.

Japanese Swords.

Unlike the famous blades OF Toledo
and Damascus, japanese swords are
not flexible or elastic. They are un.
equaled for strength and hardness,
and hold keen edge. Japanese steel
is said to excel even Swedish steel in
purity. The manufacture of the
swords is an elaborate process. Some
ceremonials and superstitious prac
