BROUGHT the Tears,

An unusual incident marked a re-
cent fire in New York. The fire
started in the cellar of five story
tenement and before 1t was extin-
guished the IS families in the building
and all the firemen were weeping cop
iously from intlamed eyes. In the eel
lar many bags of onions had been
stored. The chief fireman allowed the
tenants TO remain in the building, as
surfing them that the fire was con-
fined to the cellar. They did not stay,
however. when the onions had got

high at one side. Neither OF the bonnets
pictured has strings, and though many
of the models in the milliners' show win
dows have the long streamers trailing
from the back, few OF these streamers
are seen on bonnets really worn in the
streets. A bonnet with long strings has
to be very picturesque to escape being
affected and absurd. and though un-
doubtedly the long streamers, trailing over
the shoulder will be seen with midsum-
mer costumes. just as yet with tailored
street suits the streamerless bonnet IL
preferred.
Though on bonnets feathers are arrang-
ed to give height, ostrich is used in quite
a different way on round hats. Some
times the closely curled plume lies fiat
against the crown like a wreath. and two
plumes in contrasting color may be ar
ranged in a striking. shaded effect. A
hat of this sort. by Charlotte, was worn
at a recent afternoon wedding. The

The helmet pictured is of the new me-
tallic straw, in q rich gold tone, and

In direct contrast to this audacious he'll

in the quaint early Victorian style, have

illustrated, by Louise, is of white lace

Another cream lace bonnet by Louise
was worn by a young woman dining at
night. Her spring suit was dainty
violet-colored affair. the short bolero coat
opening in a deep square to show a
cream lace blouse beneath. and the bot
tom of the coat coming only to the high
waistline Of the skirt. This decidedly
new creation was pointed out by one
who knew as being a Worth model. But
it was the bonnet that held all the wom-
en- in the vicinity spellbound. This bon
net was a high close-ftting affair made
of cream lace. which was pulled at the
top of the crown and fell over the edge
of the brim in two soft little frills. The
rest of the bonnet was covered with
rows of velvet ribbon--f1rst row OF
deep violet, then row OF pale anne
thyst. then violet again, and SO on to
the pulled crown top At one side, over
the left ear, was great nat cabuchon

MANY Of the bonnets displayed by
Partisan milliners, and by New York
miIIiners who have brought over French
models as an inspiration, have festoons
and wreaths of tiny roses in lovely shades
Of rose, mauve, pale yellow and Natter
hIue. THESE roses are scarcely larger
than thimbles. Forget-me-nots and other
small flowers are also used on these little
Victorian bonnets in exquisitely dainty
effect.

To Wash Umbrella.

TN case the umbrella falls into the mud
and the dirt cannot be brushed OF,
WASH it with soap and lather. First
grease the inside wires to prevent them
from rusting. then proceed to wash the
cover, scrubbing the soiled parts with
a soft brush. Next rinse 1t with cold
water inside and out, and hang in the
sun to dry. 1t is best to keep the UNI
brella open all the time, and ii will

as correct as fauftless taste can make
them Riding boots are built of special
ieather-soft and very flexible, SO that
foot and ankle may have free play in the
stirrup and though beautifully shaped the
boots must be rather loose on the foot.
One Of the photographs shows the cos
tune in ordinary street guise,. quite cor
rect in style even for a mornings shop
ping in town. Most women will keep the
bifurcated phase Of the dress for horse
back and aviation use. preferring to wear
the short graceful skirt over loose SILK
knickerbockers for walking. motoring and
boating. When worn in the street dainty
gloves with white boned neck-stock and
smart though practical walking hat
will ada much to the correct appearance
of the costume.
In contrast to the much talked OF
"harem skirt which has been brought
out by the French couturiers simply to
create sensation and which has no rea-
son for being. and which. moreover, no
woman of refinement would don, this
practical little outing costume has very
decided reason for being and its appro-
priateness and attractiveness will COM
mend it to all women who love out-of-
door sports.

much favor with American women-wlli

Meath her aviation dress, and very likely
she will carry along also fur-1ned
overcoat to be donned when any consld-
cradle elevation is reached, for as every
schoolboy and girl knows, the farther
one ventures into outer space the more
penetrating is the intense cold.
Another practical feature Of this new
outing costume is the fitted hood. when

for motor boating. The woman who runs
her own speedboat and understands it's
engine has no time to bother with holding
on hat, and If she goes without one the
breezes will soon whip her hair into wild
d lsorder. Besides, the flying spray Will
drench her couture in short order. For
motor boating the cap, attached securely
to the collar of the dress, has slight I'm
ing of rubberized silk and the hair Is Kept
perfectly dry and in good order. For ball
looming there should be padded leather
lining, which keeps the ears and head
warm and also protects the head in case
of a fall.
When the costume is worn for horse
back riding the cap is discarded and q
smart continental or sailor hat substi-

of the plaque may be set with sunken
