NEW TRICK IN MILLINERY
Long Strings of Black Velvet Are
Seen on Little Bonnets
This Season.

"Straws show which way the wind
blows" So. also, do the little bonnets
of tulle, coquettishly set upon the
waved and pulled couture and engar-
landed with myosotis. and the large
tagals lined with felt, that have quite
taken the place of almost all other
forms of headgear during the last few
weeks.
Every one of them have long
strings of black velvet which are tied
at the side and at the back and have
thin long ends floating. or caught with
a jeweled pin high over the bust and
on the left side.
The sleeve" string is simply a very
long loop of broad velvet ribbon,
through which the arm is slipped. 1t
hangs loosely on the left side under
the arm.
This new trick in millinery is caus-
ing not little comment regarding its
probable popularity, but withal seems
to be finding favor in the eyes of the
truly great dictators of styles.

corset covers and combinations
with headings or castings at waist and
neck edges. in which ribbons must be

comfort.
Yet among the prettiest corset COW

Reference is not made to the close

FOR TAKING LONG TRAMPS
Foolish Things Some Girls Do to In

Girls who have had little experience
In outdoor life often do some foolish
things when they begin to try this

many OF them interfere with their own
comfort is by going on a tramp with
the wrong kind of shoes.

their feet aching and the calves OF
their legs tired out from the lack of

Walking with fiat. heelless shoe on a
rough road is extremely trying, and
one can feel every stone through the
soft rubber soles; and these tired feet
and legs will feel even worse the next
day.
Quite as bad as the tennis shoes are
the low shoes with thin soles and high
heels. These tire the feet and may
sprain the ankles. The only shoes that
are really satisfactory for "roughing

In an emergency, where one has to
evolve a fancy" costume with little

something very lovely can be made Of
several of the beautiful evening scarfs,

Nearly every woman will possess a
scarf of one kind or another and these
can be borrowed. as no damage need
be done to them. Over a white dress
hang two or more of the silver span

PAPER BAG COOKERY
VEGETABLES COOKED IN THIS
MANNER ARE DELICIOUS.
Combines the Advantages OF Baking
and Boiling-DeIlghts OF New
Method Are Many, But II
Has Limitations.

The Soyer method Of paper bag
cookery is never better than when ap.
piled to fresh vegetables. great
many vegetables are better when
baked In the oven than when cooked
in water on the top of the stove. be-
cause the juices are better preserved.
But the one great objection to baking
vegetable has been the fact that II
Is likely to grow dry with cooking
and acquire hard crust over the sur
face When inclosed in a paper bag
the moisture arising from 1t as 1t
cooks forms an envelope OF steam
around it and keeps it from drying.
The steam cannot escape while in
closed in the bag.
Beets are delicious, cooked in this
way, If the oven is hot and they are
allowed plenty of time to bake. None
of their juices and flavor Is lost as
in boiling. but when done they are
perfectly tender and their skins can
be as easily slipped off as when they
have been boiled. Very young car.
rots have a most delicious flavor
when baked in one of these cooking
bags. a flavor that is quite foreign
to the when the are boiled in
water. Tomatoes cooked In paper bags
are also delicious They taste much
like the boiled ones. but are better,
and retain their shape perfectly. II
sealed up tight and placed on a grid
shelf none of their juices will escape
from the bag
New potatoes baked in bags are
without dry, hard crust, the skin
being so tender II can be pulled of
with the hand. but many people will
prefer to bake potatoes In the old
way. as when cooked in the steam
filled bag they are too much like
boiled potatoes. They lack something
of the nutty flavor OF the ordinary
baked tuber.
Kohlrabi when cooked in this way
does not give forth its cabbage-like
odor as when boiled, but 1t Is not i'm.
proved in flavor.
II the summer cottage does not fur.
nish a stove with good broiling facil-
tiles. and a porterhouse steak is
wanted for dinner. try baking It in a
paper cooking bag in the oven The
juices of the meat will be retained
and form a delicious gravy. which
will not soak through the paper as
might be supposed If 1t is placed upon
grid shelf. where the hot air of the
oven can circulate under 1t as well
as over II. 1t makes a very nice
change from broiling, too, as the
flavor is different. For ordinary oc.
casions. however. many people will
prefer the broiled steak. in spite OF
the fact that some of the juices are
lost In the fire. M. Soyer allows
about fifteen or twenty minutes to
cook a steak in a paper bag.
The delights of paper bag cooking
are many. To the weary housekeep-
er the best OF all Is the fact that Il

pened about Z O'Clock In the morn

Christensen was unable to see the
passenger train that struck the rig.

ties.
Two people, who declare they
witnessed the accident, assisted
Christensen and had him sent home
