IF YOU are looking for comfort and
seSFice In street hat and want to
. be sure that 1t embodies style and
becomingness as well. study the mod
els shown here.
Fig. / shows French hat woven in
one piece and faced with a demi-
facing of black velvet. 1t is SO alto
gether charming that 1t will tempt the
price of much more elaborate effort
from almost any discriminating buy
er. Nothing could be simpler than its
decoration of two pheasant feathers
mounted with big. jeweled straw,
cabochon. This mounting of two long
quiils gives them an Importance which
places them in the "chanticler" class
at once. And one must not complain
at the high price of "chanticler' pat
tern. This is really one of the most
beautifully balanced shapes which is
to be found. Call it the ''hen-pheas-
ant" model and cheerfully part with
200 francs for it in Paris. 1t will
finally dawn upon those who observe
that there are other things to a hat
besides trimmings
Fig. 2, of which two views are
shown, is an American model in
royal blue and white braid. The brim
is soft and beautifully draped. and

the whole make up of the hat shows
the handiwork of an artist in mil
linery. Folded velvet is thrust
through the brim at the left and ex-
tends across the back and disappears
under the brim at the right side. Two
blue wings spring out of the crown.
A flower hatpin holds the turban in
place, but is no part of the design.
This Is very commendable design.
and this is true of its modest price.
Nothing could be more unpreten-
uous or more finished than a simple
hat now much worn. This is of a dura-

fiat rosette and finished with four
ears The crown is very large. but
a model similarly trimmed. having a
smaller crown, has been made and is
even more successful than the orr
ginal
The American models are hand
made of rows of braid sewed to-
gether. The braids are light in
weight, very soft and of high luster.
There is nothing rigid or heavy about
the shapes, and they are altogether
satisfactory.

Paris.-Dr jacques Bertillion, the
well-knOwn chief of the finger-print
department of the French police, has
published an article on the question
Of the connection between alcohol and
tuberculosis.
DR.. Bertillion says that of the caus-
es which in France favor the develop
ment of tuberculosis, the most i'm
portant Is the alcohol in beer and
spirits.
He declares. however, that the best
enemy of tuberculosis Is wine. In
the 2s departments which form the
northern part of France. where cider
beer. spirits-especially brandy-are
much drunk, the death caused by con-
sumption were 230 per 100000 inhab-
itants in 1906, while the proportion
was 14O in the other departments OF
France where wine is the favorit'
drink.
After the age of 30. he says con-
sumption is twice or three times more
frequent among men than women. un-
doubtedly because the drinking of al
cohol is more common with the for
mer than with the latter
