IN WOMAN'S WORLD
THE SAILOR HAT
AND ITS COUSINS
You Don't Have to Own a Yacht
TO Wear One of These
Creations.

It does not make any difference If
you have never seen the ark blue
ocean nor is 1t essential that you wv
a yacht. or take water trips during the
summer. The important modistic tea
ture Of this page is the sailor hat and
it's variations, and from the group of
new models you must choose the most
becoming and wear it. So turned is
the original sailor hat idea hat every
one can place a becoming model upon
her head.
Always good with the tailored suit,
and forming the starting point of our
interesting nautical trip, is the straight
brimmed sailor of coarse Cream-colOred
straw. The crown is larger han in
other seasons. and the brim can be
broad or narrow. A double edge gives
firmness and durability.
In the white-and-green chip the sail
or idea has been Submerged, but it's
there, just the same. The crown is of
white, and the brim is rolled up for
about two inches. A green-and-whlte
striped band is the only trimming, it's
three loops at one side.
Coarse, brown straw is turned up to
form a deeper brim. The crown is
tan, and a simple brown velvet band Is
tied around it. This shape is pur-
chasable in all the shades, and for
rough-and-ready use is q valuable
hint.
The white-and-black cousin is more
dressy. 1t is OF chip and the deep
brim has a contrasting ban Of black.
AT one side of the crown is a large
rose. while a black band Of velvet
completes the idea. This shape Is
large in the crown and comes quite far
down over the hair. If this line be
~unbecoming, a bandeau can be added.
A very distant cousin of the sailor
is the one with the rolled brim Of
bright blue. It Is Of fine supple straw,
and the brim looks like a cable, so
completely Is it rolled away from the
face. The black crown Is trimmed
with velvet that ends in two folded
tabs at the side.
A close-ftting shape in two colors,
red and ecru, is shown for the
witt, a small face. the brim is red,
and the red velvet band encircles the
ecru crown, tied in 81 necktie bow at
the left.
Roses are used on the sailor shape
that can be worn for afternoon. In
delicate pink they bloom on the white
chip. and a changeable blue-and-pink
taffeta bow is added to the back.
If YOU wish, you may add the
favorite bow to q modified sailor shape
OF fine straw. Edge the striped ribbon
with velvet. and wire Ii to give a
smart outstanding form. Just for a
change, it can be placed at the side.
Verify, the wheel of one fashion is
turned as quickly as the pilot moves
his. If you doubt 1t, ask the cousins
of the favorite sailor hat.

YOUNG GIRLS OUTFIT
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Pongee, Linen and Serge
Frocks Are Necessary "A
Tailored Gown, Too.

Pongee, linen and light weight serge
suits are very necessary for the sum
mer outfit Of the young girl. Dainty
Powered muslins and simple white
frocks are very charming and becom-
ing, but they are not always practical.
and the we'll dressed girl of today finds
1t requisite to have several pretty
froCks on the tailor made order. Such
frocks are not smart made in anything
but the heavier materials; that is to
say, that the sheer textures, as wolfe,
u have a lining if IL is desired to
make them into coat and skirt suits,
although o a effects in batiste, lawn
or muslin may be carried out to be
extremely pretty in one or two piece
gowns
According to whether the summer is
TO be spent in the mountains or at the
s~eashoTe, in the cooler parts Of Can
q n the northern state or in the
warmer resorts in the interior, much
depends in ordering the correct number
OF heavy and light weight frOCks, but
there are sure to be days in very clio
mate when the temperature will call
for a smart coat and skirt or waist and
skirt costume Of pongee or pretty lin
en-. There are exquisite shades to be
found in these textures this year. Ger
Use, raspberry, old rose, scarlet. even
red, are exceptionally smart, and then
there are the blues and the tans and
yellows that with just a small touch
Of black at the belt or neck are so very
effective, says the New York Herald.
A favorite model in pongee and linen
Is built on the old redingote lines.
Waist and skirt are attached together
by a two inch stitched belt and the
both are fastened all the way down
from collar to hem by large crochet or
linen covered buttons. The buttons are
placed at one side, not directly in front.
The flap, If finished with a border of
hand scalloping, Will be more attrac-
tive than If simply having a plain row
of stitching.

Recent years have witnessed movement

F,ns FOR Under Water Action.

When he Is working In water infest-
ed by sha ks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use of q knife, or, falling that, on a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention of Captain Grobl.
q German diving instructor, who has
constructed a rifle which can be fired
under water, and is designed for the
better arming Of a diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that 1t

eczema from the top Of my head to
my waist. 1t began with scales on my
body. ! suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. | was

my neck was perfectly raw. | suffered
untold agony and pain. | tried two
doctors who said | had eczema in It's
fullest stage, and that 1t could not

AN ATTRACTIVE BATHROOM.

A very attractive blue bathroom seen
recently Is finished with white and
blue thing. with the walls above tinted
q good shade OF blue. On the floor is
a dainty woven rug of blue, with white
striped borders and fringe. At he win
dow is a white dotted muslin curtain
and a white shade. On the shelves,
all painted white, rest scallop edged
white towels and White bath towels
with blue Grecian key borders. A blue
and white bath mat hangs at the foot
of the tub and the toilet articles on
the washstand are all in blue. The
effect is very pleasant and clean look
ing, and with the white mirror and
hanging closet. glass towel rods and
rubber mat, seems to lack nothing In
the way OF modern comforts.

The Newest Beauty Wrinkle.
From the New York World.

The old nursery story Of Beauty and
the Beast" has just been revived by
the fashionable beauties of Paris in a
way calculated TO accentuate their
charms. They are surrounding them
selves with the ugliest maidservants
imaginable. Their constant companions
are the most hideous pets imaginable.
One celebrated beauty, Mile. Manon
Lott, has engaged a dwarf who Is de-
scribed as having "a tremendous head.
a ~malevolent expression and hardly any
legs" and Mile. Lott takes him out
walking with her every afternoon In
order the his very ugliness VIII en-
phasize her own beauty all h more.
Mile. Mistinguette. the dancer, has
engaged as a maid a Hindu woman
with ringed ear n a face which is
by no means attractive. Other beauties
are selecting equally unattractive folis'
and the fashion Is said TO be spreading
Just as rapidly as ugly servants and
pets can be found.

CARE OF THE HAIR.

Drying the hair by heat after the
shampoo is an error that will sooner or
later evince itself In brittleness and
dandruff, caused by extracting all the
natural oil from the roots.
OFTEN hasty drying is earnestly de-
sired, but no matter how insistent the
demand it is better TO let the hair go
until a sufficient time is It hand to
dry 1t by hand. Hanging it over radia-
tors or before registers n ovens is a
practice the women who cares the least
bit about the softness n sheen Of her
hair will avoid.
Massaging the scalp to bring the
blood to the surface is one of the
quickest ways of drying. The heat
radiates and eliminates the water in
the thick masses next to the scalp.
Rubbing with towels and shaking both
hasten the process without being in
furious. 1t is better to put off the
dressing Of the hair until at least a
half hour after it is dry. During this
time 1t should be left to hang loose, 50
that the air may circulate freely
through the strands.

A PLANT WORTH GROWING.

Many new plants are introduced each
year, but few of them ever become
such established garden plants as the
blanket flower (Gaillardia) phlox,
larkspIr, delphinium or the peony.
Anchusa Italica grandiflora var.
Dropmorel is a comparatively new
plant, which may become a rival OF the
larkspur for a place in the flower gar
den when it is better known,
1t is an erect plant. with neat foil
age well proportioned TO the height OF
the plant and the size of the flower.
The flowers are indigo, closely ar
ranged along the stiff and erect stems
above the foliage. 1t blooms during
June and July and grows three to four
feet high.
This plant is a marked Improvement
over Anchusa I~talica, which has very
coarse foliage and flowers far apart on
the topheavy. sprawling stems.

Punishment by the PiIInru-

The pillory was used as a means of
punishment for many hundreds of
years in European countries. It usual
ly consisted OF a wooden frame erect
ed on a stool, with holes and moving
boards for the admission OF the head
and hands. 1t was formerly used to
punish those convicted Of practicing
frauds or shams Of any kind. The Of
tenders head and hands were inclosed
In the frame, which must have been
a decidedly uncomfortable position, and
all who passed that way were at liberty
to mock and jeer him all they wished.
Ii was a fine opportunity to get eyen''
with ones enemy. Later on the pill
Tory came to be used for the punish
ment Of political and religious Offend
ers, and much gross injustice was done
in this way. Sometimes those who
were thus made to suffer for their
opinions gloried in it, looking upon II
as persecution for righteousness sake.
In cases Of this kind the friends of the
condemned person would gather around
him and give him their sympathy. The
pillory was abolished in England by
act of parliament, June 80. 1897.

rate Of wage throughout the empire
Is probably is cents a day. In Japan IL
Is probably not more. n in India
much less, The best mill workers I
saw In Osaka average % cents a day:
the laborers at work on the new tele-
phone line in Peking get 10 cents.
the wheelbarrow coolies in Shanghai.
~ a month; linotype operators in To-
kio, only 40 cents a day: pressmen, 90

workers in Hankow average about 10
cents. street car conductors in Seoul
make 80 cents: farm laborers about

A Brotherhood of Fools.

One would suppose that an organi-
cation calling itself The Order of
Fools would be entirely devoted to
frivolous things, but such was not the
case with the society of that name
founded by Adolphus. Count of Cleves
in 1881. II was formed for humane
and charitable purposes, and the mem
bership was largely of
noblemen and gentlemen Of rank, The
insignia was a figure OF a fool em~
broidered in brilliant colors on the left
side OF the mantle or coat. They held
a grand ~conclave at Cloves every wear
lasting an entire week. At these an
nual meetings the business of the or
ganization was transacted, and plans
laid for future work. But business did
not absorb the entire attention OF tha
members. Between sessions they had
a general good time. All distinctions
of rank were laid aside for the time
being, and perfect equality reigned
The organization was kept up till well
on into the 10th century. but the orig
nal objects were gradually lost sight
OF, and the order became extinct.

BITS OF HISTORY.

Riding the Stang.

In the north OF England 1t was for
merly the custom to punish wife beat
ing. hen pecking and other frallties
incident to married life, by a peculiar
process known as riding the stang
Il was so called because the leader
was borne on a stang the north
,ountry word for a chair fastened on
two poles. In southern England the
process is called rough music" The
offender was called upon by a COM
pany Of men, women and children ana

made, the instruments being COWS
horns, fire shOVels, tOngs, frying pans,
pot lids used as cymbals. tin pals ara
other implements and utensils capaple
Of producing loud and discordant
noises. Along with the din the sere-
naders would keep up a constant moot

times in fragrant cases, every evening

is known to have been meted out 10
wife beaters as late as 1862, and there
Is some ground for believing the Gus

classes in some parts Of England. In

President Jackson's Kitchen Cabinet

President Jackson's Kitchen Cabinet
When Andrew Jackson was president
he had a small coterie Of men about
MIN. mostly editors and office holders,
with whom he frequently consulted in
private. They usually entered the
White House by a rear door, in order
to keep their visits secret and on this
account they were called JaCkson's
'kitchen cabinet" Jackson was aC-
oused Of allowing these men to do his
thinking for him. He often did things
with a suddenness that took the COun-
Try by surprise, and it was said that in
arriving at decisions he was influenced
far more by his Kitchen cabinet" than
by his regular cabinet members. The
names Of his kitchen cabinet" were:
william b. Lewis, second auditor of the
treasury; Isaac Hill, second comptrOl-
.er of the treasury; Amos Kendall,
fourth auditor Of the treasury; Duff
Green, editor of the United States Tel
egraph, and Francis p. Blair, sr., ed
tor Of the Globe. Not much is known
Of Lewis. Hill was afterward United
States senator from New Hampshire.
Green was d prominent journalist and
sfterward turned against Jackson and
became his bitter enemy. Blair came
20 be a prominent man in public af-
fairs, Kendall was the ablest man of
them all, and afterward became post
master general. He died in 1872.

The Battle of the Kegs.
At one time during the war OF the
revolution some enterpTising patriots
Of B~ordentOwn. N. j., fixed up a few
torpedoes in the shape of kegs, and
sent them floating down the river.
They were filled with gunpowder, and
so arranged mechanically that rub
bing against another object they
would explode. 1t was hoped that one
of them might come in contact with
one of the British ships living at
anchor at Philadelphia, and blow her
up. This hope was not realized. but
hey succeeded in soaring the British
in and around Philadelphia within an
inch of their lives. One Of the kegs"
rubbed against a block Of floating Ice
and exploded, creating wild COnsterna-
ton among the British. For "a hours
thereafter they fired at every object
seen moving on the bosom of the river.
This afforded great amusement to the
Americans, and Judge Francis HOpkin-
son, one OF the signers of the Declara-
ton of independence, wrote a ballad
about the affair, In which he poked
much fun at the British. The closing
stan2a read thus:
Such feats they did perform that day
Against those wicked kegs, sir.
That years to come, If they get home.
They'll make their boasts and brags,
