owned a parasol and 1t really does seem
a pity that she can't come back TO earth
for just long enough to take look at
the shops while the spring sales are on.
She'd want to buy dozen parasols and,
of course, Adam would consider that an
absurd extravaganza: but it's only fair
allowance since this is going to be sun
shade season, which means that special
accessories must be provided for the
costumes intended for race meets, gar
den parties and coaching excursions. 1t

during the heyday of its popularity.
The Mop Hat.

THE Mop" the commonly employed
and rather inelegant term applied to the
Greek turban, is one of the most adapta-
Bile of all the shapes brought out this
spring. Any woman can wear 1t for the
reason that she need only turn 1t about
upon her head until she discovers the
best angle at which to poise 1t. for 1t Is
perfectly balanced at all sides and has no
outstanding trimmings which positively
must project above given bump on the
Uranium. Moreover, 1t fits so far over the
head that the hair cannot fly about In
that untidy manner SO destructive to a
woman's smart appearance
Quantities of Flowers.
Quantities of silk and muslin flowers
of every grade are used on both large
and small hats. Cheek by jowl with
toques covered with sprays of lilies-of-
the-valley, forgetme-nots or arbutus are
found mushroom shapes built solidly Of
cabbage roses chrysanthemums OF pansies
and towering high with a cloudy arrange
ment In malines, known is millinery
circles as the aeroplane bow. Flowers
distinguishing features of the new
sailors which this season are of huge
proportions and seem destined to have
unprecedented vogue, according to reports
just received by cable from Paris. As
in the case of the turbans. the crown
of the sailor is quite likely to be of some
transparent fabric as of straw and not
only is 1t wreathed with flowers but the
edge OF its brim is outlined with tiny
exotics, instead of being faced with dark
velvet as has been the mode for over six
weeks.
The Use of Bandeaux.
Another revival lowering In the back
ground today. but not unlikely TO be well
to the fore by tomorrow. is the band
eau. which threatens to brace up hat
crowns just women have accustom-
ed themselves to wearing them crushed
down over their ears. A mercy 1t is
that these sudden changes of habit
are demanded only of the members of
the gentle sex who certainly are adapta-
BILE creatures when it comes to question
of covering the head. Just now most Of
the bandeaux, which are velvet or flower
trimmed, appear sailors of dressy type

Capes Evolved From ShawIs

An extravagant fad which is having
tremendous vogue just now in Paris is the
one of fsshioning evening capes from
India cashmere shawls. The women who
received such possessions in the form of
ancestral heirlooms are as cheerfully or
dering them to be cut up as are the
women who had neither cashmere shawls
nor ancestors, but who do possess money
enough to enable them to buy the desired
wrap materials as well as to get along
comfortably without the consciousness of
having aristocratic forebears. These capes
are made on practically the same lines as
are the very long affairs of crepe meteor
or satin which have seams crossing the
shoulders and extending down each side
to the hem. Some of them are slightly
draped under the arms to form long, loose
sleeves similar to those supposed to be
worn by the angels, and a few of them
have their fullness gathered In at the
bottom, but the trimming IS usually con-
fined to the collars, sleeves and front.
In the case of cape made from an India
shawl, no garniture is more effective than
bands of black satin.
Lacking the money or the opportunity
to acquire a genuine cashmere shawl of
which to fashion a cape-wrap a fairly
good substitute Is one of those old-fash-
Toned striped shawls so generally worn
by women of the well-to-do class of 30
years ago, and which are still in evidence
at the meetings of country sewing circles
The dressmaker of the Place yendome who
first brought out wraps made from such
shawls does not say where she obtained
her materials, but her New York con
temporaries frankly admit that their sup
plies come from the outlying rural dis
trfcts where their agents prowl as per-
sistently as do the dealers In old furni-
ture and china.
Expense Not an Object.
Judging from the amount of ornamen-
tation upon some of the plain satin even
ing wraps, the question of expense is
never considered. The greater portion of
the decoration Is used upon the shoulders
In the shape of cape-cotlar composed of
richly colored bands of Oriental work
Joined with narrow insertions of lace: of
Russo-Turkish embroidery on scrim and
of passementerie applique or French
guipure lace and paillettes. As these col
lars. are always in absolute contrast to
the tint of the wrap, their effect is ex-
ceedingly bizarre, but then they also pre-
sent a decidedly novel appearance and
that means much to the woman who
cherishes a reputation for looking dis

Bewilderfug Variety of Shapes.
So great is the variety of shapes to be
seen at all of the great millinery en-
pcriums that many a shopper who sallies
forth after breakfast with a light hea r.
and a fun purse, returns home at tea
time utterly bewildered and with her
money still burning hokes In her hand

rolling brim.
Black and White Combinations.
Because Of the vogue of black and
white combinations in costumes magpie
hats are going to be extensively worn.
The smartest of them are of toque or
Greek turban shape and usually show
black braid brims with white met crowns
and trimmings. and some exceedingly
chic models are wholly of white tulle,
dotted with black, or of black dotted
with net.
Ultra-smart dressers are exhibiting the
greatest amount of interest in the big
black hat Not because 1t is practical
and can be worn with costume of any
color, but because they consider that 1t
shows distinction of class. Quite true.
the chapeau noir never has been adopted
by the masses who demand a certain
amount of color in return for their green
backs, and the woman of limited income
will not have one for the reasons that
black in cheap materials looks SO very
badly and that a CONNECTION of tulle, GRIN
and feathers, all of inky hue. must be
modelled by millinery genius s4~s ~a-z

Doing The Hardest
Thing First.

l know a very successful man who
early in life resolved that, no matter
how hard anything might be, or how
seemingly impossible for him to do,
he would do it if the doing would
prove of value to him, says "Success
Magazine" He made this the test,
and would never allow his moods or
feelings to stand in the way of his
Judgment. He forced himself into a
habit of promptly doing everything,
no matter how disagreeahle. if it
would further his Advancement
People who consult their moods,
their preferences or their ease can
never make a great success in lite. 1t
is the man who gets a firm grip on
himself and forces himself to do the
thing that will ultimately be best for
him, who succeeds. The man who
goes through life picking out the
flowers and avoiding thorns, in his
occupation, always doing the easy
thing first and delaying or putting
OF altogether, # possible, the hard
thing, does not develop the strength
that would enable him to do hard
shings when necessity forces th' m
upon him.
1t is pitiAble to see young men
aud women remaining far below the
place where their ability ought to
have carried them, just because they
dislike to do disagreeable things unr

I d u Hr. H..
The Annual Turkey 50 pper az thg
Gainesville church on Thanksgiyins
Eve was well attended, aud those
present had a pleasant sime. About
$40 was taken in but with the price
of turkeys at q cents per pound took
some of the profits.
The Grange dance at Layton on
Friday evebing was fairly attended,
but as there was other. dances in the
surrounding towns, the attendance Of
them all was curtailed.
Corn husking is still in progress,
but is mostly done in the barn. The
cold is too severe and the wind too
boisterous for out of door work.
From the reports in circulation,
the work on the old Macadam road Is
progressing very slowly, and if those
reports are true much good money is
being wasted.
Deer hunting is nuisance as It is
carried on at present, for every hunt
er tells the same story, that the
deer are being hunted with dogs for
they see the dogs in the woods.
That deer are killed on other days

Palmer Protests

The withdrawal of his name for
consideration for the nomination for
Governor by the Democratic oonven-
tion just on the eve of it's meeting by
q. Larue Munson threw the
party into confusion and resulted in
the disastrous selection of Grim.
There were many surmises at the
time as to the reason for Munson' 5
act. Among others it was suggested
that he had the promise of a judicial
appointment and for that threw his
party overheard. Late developments
indicate that this may have been
the underlying reason, and Munson
himself has suggested that he is in a
receptive frame Of mind. In view Of
this Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer, who
is now looked on as one of the most
promising leaders Of a Fehabilitated
democracy, puts in a protest to Pres
ident Taft against the appolntmept
of Munsop TO the Court Of Commerce
bench. 1t seems hardly possible that
Taft after all that has been said about
the Munsou. deal, would put the re-
publican party in this state In such
a doubtful position Is to apparently
carry out corrupt and designing
bargain made for selfish purposes
and for sinister reasons. We do MOI

The silent GiY15eSrs X.

In tune with the spirit Of Christ.

Silent Givers," by James E. Harrow
in HUMAN LIFE for December.
These stories Of men and women of
vast wealth who, particularly at this
season. do 50 much 70 tighten the
woes Of the homeless and hopeless,
show that beneath s'robetssl and furrrred
gown beat hearts that after all feel
their kinship with the world OF want
and pain.
There is a wide difference in the
spirit Of giving. Most men who
rank as philanthropIsts are actuated
by human interest only. They see
suffering and their synpathieasI are
touched. And, since It lies In their
power, they do ali they can. This
spirit, Of course. moved John 8. H6y-
Ter, but behind II he had a motive
which made his giving pnusGal.
"Ail the checks which be siRhed
for charitsbls purposes he drew n from
an account marked marked .sM. p"
For years the recipients of these
checks wondered what the mystic
letters might mean, but he did not
explain until shortly before his death.
IN. p" stood for my Partner, .
and by that he meant God. He was
deeply religions man and sincerely
considered himself as acting in vi.
carious capacity, and all those who
benefited by his silent giving felt that
there was something of the ideal
ministrations. He gave annually
close to half million dollars TO all
sorts of philanthropic work, but he
had a way of doing it which subordi.
mated the amount of the gift to the
thought behind it,"
