The Mourning Bonnet.

One of the most pleasing changes OF
the year is tire revival of the Marie
Stuart bonnet, either sharp or round
pointcd, which is SO becoming 10 the
majority Of women. and from which
draperies hang as from no other hat
form. For the first three months OF
the period of mourning this bonnet is
LIade entirely OF crepe. with 4 black
crepe face ruching; thereafter white
crepe ruching may be substituted, and
the bonnet may be bordCrcG. in addi-
ton. with unpublished jet heads or cab
ochons. Also. the heavy crepe veil
worn during the earlier period may
give place TO another OF silk voile or
yelling cashmere. The little face veil
u ribbon-bordered net may also be
used II this period.-Harpe- Bazaar.

SIMPLICITY IN THE BEDROOM

There IL a great improvement In
the treatment of bedrooms. There was
a time when the bedroom was crowd

heavy draperies about the bed and
much useless decoration. Whether the
change to simplicity has come about
through the lessons of sanitary llv-
ing and exposure Of dreaded germs
lurking in all sorts of dark places We
cannot say. but certain il is that the
present-day bedroom is much more
sane and more tasteful in every way.
The very heavy pieces of furniture
have given place TO the lighter ones.

given place to dainty cretonnes. and
It seems as If one must sleep more
sweetly in the present-day bedroom.

eonality Of its owner. The library,

any more unlucky than any other COM

Probably no other man in the navy
has more prominent and influential
people among his close personal
friends He made the acquaintance Of
President Taft in the Philippine is
lands some years ago. while Mr.. Taft
was governor general of the archipel'
ago and Capt. Fremont commanded
the navy yard at Cavite. The future
president learned that the young
naval officer was able TO make good
when he promised anything.
Admiral Remey, who at that time
commanded the Asiatic squadron,
formed a strong admiration for his
subordinate. He said that Capt. then
Lieut.. Fremont, had found the Cavite
ward 4 pestridden hole, and left it il
sanitary condition; he raised the
Spanish guEboats sunk by Dewey and
accomplished wonders in repairing
ships with Filipino labor paid in
MEXICAN silver.

The propriety of the decoration was
questioned by someone. which started
a lengthy discussion. Finally Capt.
Fremont vas appealed to for an opin-
ION. His reply was characteristic, in
effect as follows:
The navy has no sectional preIu-
iices. Its patriotism is Only bounded
by the ends Of the country it Pro-
tec:s."

The words are Al tvue today as when
The poet first gave them expression
Nature has not endowed every one
with good looks, but she has been
more prodigal in distributing her ia

Beauty, like intellect, needs careful
cultivation and culture, long right
ines, is as beneficial to personal APP
pearance as mental culture is to the
mind. Every woman possesses some
good features-even the so-called plain
wonan-which, carefully considered

attraction. Surely II Is a woman's

New Commander Of Boston Navy

and Roosevelt.

Roston-Capt. John c. Fremont,
who has just taken charge of the Bos-
ton navy yard. belongs to a historic
family: a successful naval officer.
popular socially and as good a fam
lily man as a sailor can be. Born in
California, the son of Gen. John c.
Fremont. first presidential candidate
of the Republican party and known as
The Pathfinder" on account of his
exploration in the west. and Jessie
Benton. daughter of old Bullion"
Benton, senator from Missouri and in
innate friend of President Jackson,
Capt. Fremont at an early age de-
veloped fondness for the sea and
entered the navy at the first oppor-
tunity.
Capt Fremont is a good sportsman.
In his younger days he was an expert
tennis player and doubtless would
have crossed rackets with eX-PreSi-
dent Roosevelt If he had been sta
toned in Washington. He is judge
of horses and formerly delighted to
drive a four-in-hand, and did it in
manner that won the admiration OF
everybody who saw him.
Now. however. he prefers the auto
mobile to the horse and Is probably
one of the most enthusiastic and prac-
teal motorists in the country.
Capt. Fre-nont's love for animals is
shared by the members Of his family.
They have a black chow" dog from
China, a very rare specimen; a fine
bull terrier. and white Persian cat.
He is opposed to animals on ship
board, anyhow. for disciplinary rea-
sons, and the men on any ship under
his command are not permitted to
enjoy the privilege many other sail
oIs have Of keeping pet monkeys.
