NEW IDEAS CLEANED
FROM THE SMART SHOPS
Bv DOROTHY AVERY HOWARD.

A millinery establishment located in
H street, near Vermont avenue. has
sold almost every winter hat in the
house. There are only about half
dozen left in the store, and these can
be bought for very little money just
now. I saw a very handsome violet
shape hat there yesterday, trimmed
with three French plumes in the same
shades, which is marked ST. now-just
the actual cost of the feathers.
AS these can be used on many other
hats, it is economy to pick up hat
of this character at such a price, for
it can be worn for a couple Of months
yet before the spring will relegate
winter millinery to the past.
A big shop In F street, near Eleventh
street, is showing a smart line OF
women's white canvas footwear in the
new shapes for summer. Already
many women have bought this kind
Of shoes for wear with the white
serge and linen dresses that are de
rigueur at Southern resorts. A number
of different styles are shown for this
season, from the one-eyelet tie. at
$50, to the modiSh buttoned shoes,
which cost S and S..
Taupe colored suede gloves. in 16-
button lengths, are reduced to IS cents
in a woman's shop in F street, be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets.
A sale of genuine Sheffield plate is
attracting attention this week to an
exhibit in q drug store located near
the corner Of Vermont avenue and H
street. In this collection are many
very fine pieces which may be bought
just at this time for less than their
usual prices. Some odd things are
shown. among them being a beautiful
oval mirror which swings on two up
right pieces, and may be used either
on a dressing table or a shaving
stand. This is the only one of just
this kind 1 have ever seen, believe.
and it is priced now at about half its
value.
A set of five meat platters in gradu-
ated sizes, from snail chop dish to
a large one for roaStS or fowls, hav-
ing the popular grape decoration. is
marked at $40. much less than such a
set usually brings.
An exclusive shop in H street not
far from the corner Of Fifteenth
shows the newest ideas in Partisan
bands to ornament the fashionable
coiffiure. These are very different
from some of the things found else
where which are used for the same
The Washington herald., 1911-02-08

purpose. Very novel effects are those
produced with satin ribbon and
adorned with wreaths of roses made
OF picot ribbon in dull shades. with
the leaves of olive green silk. Others
are made of metallic lace bands. stud
ded with mock jewels. or of gold and
silver braids with small flowers
caught in the mesh.
Another French novelty shown in
the same place is the bowknot pho
toSraph holder of green or roSe-col-
ored silk, decorated with tarnished
gold gimp. which hangs at the side
of ones dressing table or on the wall
Either one or two pictures in their
frames may be hung this way.

THE Burglars Horror" is the queer
name of a pretty little night lamp
which may be bought for 50 cents on
the first floor of a department store
in F street. 1t has a pierced brass
holder with a green or red glass shade,
the specially prepared candle inside
being guaranteed to burn nine hours.
1t gives one feeling of security when
burning on a table at ones bedside,
yet throws out no glare to disturb
the sleeper. All danger of the gas
or an oil lamp or ordinary candle is
eliminated when the new lamp is
used: and it IS ornamented besides.

A handy little article found in a
shop in Vermont avenue, near H
street, where many attractive arts
and crafts wares are exhibited for
sale. is called the kitchen helper. 1t
is a folder of green grass cloth. the
cover decorated with pink roses. and
the insid1 containing a list of all
kinds of floods, from which sugges-
tions may be gotten for the daily
menu for the family. Few housekeep-
ers there are but are perplexed often
as to the question of what shall we
eat to-day-such and SO various are
the tastes Of men. and the little
kitchen helper fills a need most ap-
preciated at times. Laundry pads
gotten up in the same attractive
bindings are also shown at the same
price-10 cents

Place yourself against something which

College Notes
BY fapIe ~Come.pondent

That the A. & NJ. College Athletic
Association has the best athletic field
in the state was the universal COM
ment of all those who attended the
annual track meet of the Texas Inter
collegiate Association. This year the
association enlarged the park mate
rally, extending the fence so as to
take in more acreage. Under the per-
sonal direction of Coach c. b. Moran,
and with the professional advice OF
Prof. Robert ]. Potts as engineer, work
was accomplished during the past few
months that has resulted in the APP
pointments of the park being made
complete. There is no better or pref
tier baseball diamond in Texas. The
park includes a baseball diamond
which can be transformed into a foot
ball gridiron: tennis courts, a circular
track, a straight-away cinder path and
the proper arrangement for weight
events and jumping and vaulting.
President T. p. Junkin, of Daniel
Baker, said: A. & NJ. certainly has
the state beat on an athletic park"
Coach Snyder, of Daniel Baker:
This is the best athletic field ! have
seen in Texas"
w. l.. Vining, formerly of Allen
Academy, now a student at the Uni
v~ersity of Texas: This park com
mands the admiration of every athlete
in the state. II is we'll arranged and
its appointments are of the best"
President ]. ]. Delaney. of the Inter
collegiate Association: Il am delight
ed to see such an interest in athletic:
that a park Of this character can b'
maintained"

Miss McDavid's Recital.

Miss Bess Marie McDavid, of Dallas,
appeared in the assembly hall OF A. &
NJ. college Friday night in a recital,
giving The Tanning of the Shrew.'
Miss McDavid has had a thorough
course of instruction in character de-
lineation and elocution, and her per-
Torrance last night charmed the large
audience which attended. 1t is with
out doubt the finest reading given at
the college this year. Appearing, as
she did, before what is known as a
critical audience, as it consisted of col
lege men who are teachers and col
Ilege students who are being taught,
that she pleased is evidence of her
ability. Her facial expression and
| sharp %delineation of characters were
the delight of the audience. The char
acter of Petruchio was especially well
done and the other characters sharply
defined. Her well modulated voice and
splendid diction won the best atten'
ton. the audience expressing approval
at every opportunity. She has the nat
ural gifts. the temperament, the voice
and the attractive presence necessary
! to make the successful reader. Hell
reading was for the benefit OF the
Y. NJ. c. A. fund of the college.
