mountain leghorns" for those that
are looking for cheaper hats and great
numbers of canvas weaves, pretty and
inexpensive, that will last out the
season with some care.
The rough straws are trimmed with
ribbon or silk arranged in the sim
plest of Grapes and rosettes. Milans
are finished with velvet ribbon as a
rule and the canvas hats or those Of
smoothly woven straw are finished
with plain fold of silk or band Of
narrow ribbon about the crown and
rosette of fancy silk or straw braid
at the side. A pretty quill or two is
often added
In all of these hats the crowns are
large enough to fit quite comfortable
on the head. Brims nearly all droop,
even though there be an upward roll
toward the brim-edge. They are kept
on the head by an elastic band which
passes under the hair.
Flowers or any fragile trimmings
are out of place on such hats. Only
the simplest and most durable of
decorations are to be considered. Ex-
cellent examples of such millinery are
pictured here, but with apologies to
milliners and to manufacturers they
do not equal the dear, old-fashioned
sun-bonnet in adaptation to their use
nor even in charm. Nevertheless they
are attractive and good.

SERVICE FOR MUTES
Texas Church Whose Members
Are All Deaf.
Crying Babies or Late Corners Do Not
Disturb This gregation-com-
r11unicants Are Of All creeds
and FolloWines.

Fort Worth, Texas.-Sermons with
never spoken word, congregational
singing without an audible note of
melody, public prayers in which there
is no sound, Sunday school teachers
whose lips are inarticulate. All these
are incidentals Of the Sunday services
of Fort Worth church.
The pastor is not disturbed by cry
Ing babies, and the late corners do
not take the trouble to tip-toe, but let
their heels fall noisily on the uncar-
peted floor. The belfry that tops the
building is purely ornamental, for no
member of this unique congregation
could hear any bell invented.
No church in the United States is
like it. 1t is the only church in the
whole country whose congregation is
composed wholly of deaf mutes.
The sixty or more deaf mutes living
in Fort Worth organized the congrega-
ton, called the First Evangelical
church for the deaf, in 1907 The real
founder is the Rev. ]. w. Michaels of
Louisville, KY, who is still the pas
tor, although he can make only four
visits year to his voiceless flock
The building, neat and substantial
structure, was built solely by deaf
mutes. The pulpit was carved by the
Sunday school superintendent, G. w.
Sheppard, who is skilled woodwork
man.
There is no church debt None Of
the members is wealthy, and the CON
gregation has had hard struggle.
But it has won because the members
are very proud of having the only deaf
mute church in the United States and
are CORRESPONDENCE loyal.
The church is 1nterdenominationaI.
Creeds are sunk in the common in
trinity. In the roster of 40 members,
half-dozen denominations are repre-
scented. The pastor is Baptist, but

Lace Mitts Are Worn.

Lace mitts continue to be kept at
glove counters and to find buyers.
They range in price from dollar or
so to almost anything. according to
quality Of the lace. And 1t is the high
est priced ones that are taking with
the shoppers. The mitts are worn on
hot nights for dinners and for dances
and they are sometimes seen in fash
ionable afternoon turnouts with rich
costumes. Mitts never go quite out
of use, though little is seen of them
on the city street and in public places.
Still, the woman who would have her
hands comfortable and at the same
time make pretenss Of covering
them can always resort to mltts.

Wild horses with an unbroken line of
wild ancestry were extinct.
1t is the general opinion that the
domestic horse Of today was mainly
derived from three wild species,
which have been named the steppe,
forest and plateau varieties. The gobi
horse is a representative of the steppe
variety. This horse in its wild state

at night to the pasture lands and
drinking places. At break of day it
returns to the desert. where 1t rests

TO CLEAN THE STRAW HAT
Mixture That Will Restore Natural
Color After the Sun Has Bleached
Head Covering.

To restore the natural straw color
Of a hat, clean with paste OF lemon
Juice and sulphur and cream OF tar
tar. First brush the hat thoroughly
with this mixture and then rinse off
with clean water and press. Sailor
hats are beautifully cleaned in this
way. Wash white straw with oxalic
acid which has been diluted with wa
ter. A leghorn hat can be cleaned
with water or acid-dampened corn
meal. Brush it lightly and place it
over burning sulphur to bleach the
straw. The sulphur may be burned in
a can in the bottom of barrel and
the hat may be suspended at the top,
where it will not scorcb. One can
freshen a colored straw hat with dyes
or water color paints diluted in gaso-
line. If properly applied to hat,
these dyes will give the desired color.
When hat cannot be given it's orig
inal color, it can be dyed black. and
black is always practical.
If your black hat is a little worse
for wear and the crown has become
somewhat loppy through acquaintance
with the spring rains, renovate it by
dampening the crown with cloth
moistened with water and then press
it dry with warm iron. Cover the
crown with li,acs, with pink rose
peeping out every now and then. The
effect is very artistic, and this meth
cd of trimming is fashionable as well
as handy in concealing the limp side
crown.

RASH ALL OVER BABY's BODY
ltChed So He Could Not Sleep

ION July 27, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
i%rritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when We reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got NJ better, and it used to
itch and burn at night SO bad that the
child could not sleep. He was com
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap~
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura

that l was compelled to take refuge in
an old iron safe which lay discarded
on the veldt.
MY first emotions Of Joy at my
happy deliverance were hardly over
when the mosquitoes, seeming me, be-
gan to drive their stingers through
the safe. Fortunately, l had a ham
mel in my pocket, and as fast as their
stingers came through the iron l
clinched them, until at length such
a host of them was fastened down in
this way that, when they started to
fly away, they carried me and that
safe miles.
Then, one by one, they died with
the exertion, and l was able to come
out with safety. Yes, wonderful
