and the toll that marked the founder Of
the house Of Schenk.
It was the knowledge OF this that
made Frederick Schenk rebel when his
son wanted TO marry a domestic. The
elder Schenk put on no airs himself;
he was merely a home-loying German,
as most Of the race are. But he did
not appreciate the kitchen courtship
Of his son John. Neither did Johns
brothers. It came TO such a pass at
last that the head Of Schenk household
threatened TO disinherit John If he took
unto himself Laura FarnswOrth as a
wife
But John Schenk married her just the
same. He was enthralled then by her
beauty. II is declared that he has

such a wide range as the summer gave
us, but 1t Is much more distinct. The
three chosen materials are velvet, taf-
feta and soft satin, and these not only
cover the hats, but are made into
enormous fiat bows or choux for trim
ming. Where bows are used, they
either lie fiat on the top Of the crown
or shoot away from the hat on the left
side almost at right angles. Very fHtttiis
MORE and no ribbed silk is iused. For
dressy wear. ostrich plumes have first
place, and paradise feathers are a
close second. The plumes are medium
size (from II to Is inches leng} and
are curled a very little on the edge.
They are placed in trimming sc that
they stand almost straight up, and the
natural notified gray color Is again
popular. Much to the relief OF the
Audubon Society the death knell of
the aigrette has been sounded. So
many successful limitations of this

favor naturally followed. Lace, par

t~uresque. Val is also used to edge
the velvet bands and bows OF the
trimming, and sometimes we find a
line Of 1t on the under brim, placed
just clear of the edge.
In the small hats there are many to
choose from-some with brims and
some without, both equally smart.
Jaunty, little English walking hats
rolled up ali round, or turned up
abruptly on the side front, will be
much sought. These hats are simply
trimmed with generous bows or ro-
settles of silk, or one short plume is
arranged to fall from the front to the
back.
Summer felt and hemp braid make
a splendid combination for the days
between seasons, when we bid a re-
.~luctant farewell to the strawg and
lingerie of summer. Wide brimnned
hats show this se,amostl: effectively.

cold weather, turbans of velvet or
beaver cloth come into their own
again. These are worn crushed down
on the head and are practically UNI
trimmed, the material being rucked on
a frame In such a full fashion as to
render anything else unnecessary. A
large cabochon of jet or barbaric uncut
jewels, or a military gold cord with
tassel ends may be used to add a
touch Of sparkle to a dull material.
There is a rumor. due probably to the
c~hanticleer influence, of the revival of
the feather turban, but as yet few of
them are on view In the shops. Blue
Is the popular color and 1t is seen in
ali shades ron the deep raven blue

bination of two colors is the smart
thing, and royal blue combined with

girls. One I have In mind is of bright
red satin. This has a three-ineh band

cireling the hat, and serving to tone
down the gay color.
