TORESHADOWING already what
we may expect for the coming
fall season, the hats for late
summer indicate that we shall have
many bonnet-like shapes, tall crowns
and large hats few In number as com
pared to small and medium-sized
models. Outing hats for July and Au-
gust are Of felt in white or light
colorg, such as Alice blue, champagne
and the seasons beautiful pink tones.
These are either all felt or felt and
hemp combinations and are trimmed
with scarfs, bands, soft draperies of
chiffon and wings or ribbon. They
are exquisite and, 1t must be con-
fessed, fragile in the matter Of keep
ing clean. But they remain present
able for some time and are cleaned
with fine sandpaper. Everywhere the
floating white veil accompanies these
cool-looking creations Of the milliner.
The wells are Of lace, in several va
rieties, in coarse silk nets and IN
chiffon. They are all washable and
add immensely to the attractiveness
of the hats and the complexion, fol
they are worn either ove or off the
face.
More pretentious millinery is shown

The Duration Of Dreams.

Something regarding tho duration
Of dreams can be gathered from thh
experience Of a mar who, on sittinl
down fo7 a dental operation, took gai
and dreamed. He saw himself finish
his work, go to the club, leave fo
the station, run for the train and mist
It. He returned to his club and re
clined on a setlee in the library. There
he passed a miserable, restless night
getting gvaduaIly colder and colder al

gradually growing about his head and
face from Che hardness Of his couch

cially over women Their very daring
and unscrupulousness seems to render
them more attractive. He himself at
college had fallen entirely under the
mans spell. There was no doubt that
he was responsible for all his trou
bles. Underwood possessed the IN
canny gift Of being able to bend PEG
pla to his will. What a fool he
had made Of him at the university
He had been his evil genius, there
was no question Of that But FOL
meeting Underwood he might have ap
plied himself to serious study, left thu
university with honors and be now

He remembered with a smile that
was through Underwood that he ha!

he had not tried to resist. The truth
was Underwood exercised a strange,
subtle power over him. He had the
power to make him do everything he
wanted him to do, no matter how TOOL

one at college used to talk about IT,
One night Underwood invited all MS
classmates to his rooms and made him
cut up all kinds of capers. He at first
refused, point blank-but Underwood
got up and, standing directly in front
Of him, gazed steadily into his eyes
Again he commanded him to do these
ridiculous, degrading things. Howard
felt himself weakening. He was sud-
denly seized with the feeling that ne
must obey. Amid roars Of laughter
he recited the entire alphabet stand

rooster, he hoped like a toad, ana
he crawled abjectly on his belly ike

COMBINES DOOMED, SAYS WICKERSHAM

HANCOCK, Mich, July 22.-Big
combinations like the Standard Oil
Company and the tobacco trust are
going to be split up into a number of
distinct parts" without connection or
monopoly power. This was the pre-
diction made in an address here yes
terday by Attorney General Wicker
sham to the crowd assembled here for
Hancock's Homecoming celebration.
Criticisms seeking to minimize the
value of the Supreme Court decisions"
come largely" he added, from those
who would like to embarrass the ad-
ministration with the sort of general
assault on all business which would
compel every business man to turn
to the other party for relief"
Incidentally, Mr.. Wickersham took
occasion to trace the guiding hand of
President Taft in the policy of the
Department of Justice.
Predicts End of Monopoly.
Speaking of the Supreme Courts
view of the Sherman law, Mr. Wicker
sham said:
But some people are saying that
these decisions don't really mean any,
thing; that the big trusts will simply
reorganize under other forms and go
on just as before. Don't believe any
such talk. Take my assurance for
it that those big combinations are 60
ing to be split up into a number of
separate and distinct parts, no one of
which shall have any connection or
control over any other and no one
of which shall have so large a per
thing like a monopoly That is what
understand the court to require, and
nothing less will meet my interpreta
ton of the decisions of the Supreme
Court"
Referring to criticisms of the fee!
spent for special counsel, Mr.. Wicker
sham said that they were paid mucl
less than private clients would b.
glad to pay lie added;

I'VE collected more money as a re
suit of the suits brought and prose

"And while the final figures are not
in for the last fiscal year, l believe
we shall make an equally good show
ing for that year.
Under the wise control and guild
ance of President Taft, no other
course than that which the Depart
ment of Justice has followed during
the past two years could have been
pursued Under him the law has been
enforced to the best of the abilities of
those to whom he has intrusted it's
enforcement, with the sincere effort
to make that enforcement thorough,
dispassionate and without undue dis
elimination. 1t has been sought to
make the administration of Justice eff
fective without being clamorous. No
matter who should be at the head of
that department, so long as William
II. Taft is president, no other policy
could obtain"

WHAT, NEVER2
WELL, HARDLY ENERln

There was time when the vogue Of
"Pinafore" was simply amazing. 1t
was not copyrighted and, after it's sue
cess in London, it was pirated in the
United States. This piracy was the
initial cause of Gilberts hatred of
America and Americans.
However, if America did not send
him its dollars, it was quite ready to
spread his fame, says the Bookman.
Church choirs added "Pinafore" to
their repertoires, and it is recorded
that 100000 barrel organs we're con-
structed to play nothing else. Here
is an ironical note from a newspaper
of the time:
AT present there are forty-two com
panies playing 'Pinafore.' Companies
formed after 6 P. M. yesterday are not
| included"
It's catch phrase, What, never?
Well, hardly ever" was deadly. 1t is
told, for instance, that one editor bar
red his staff from using it.
1T occurred twenty times in as
many articles yesterday. Never let me
see it used again" "What, never?'
was the unanimous question well
hardly ever" replied the wretched
man.
The readiness of w. S. Gilbert's wit
is well illustrated by this story told
of him. He and F. c. Burnand, the
editor of Punch, were guests at the
same dinner table where a wise hos
placed the rival humorists at opposite
ends of the room in the hope of dis

Some Early ShOtS---JurOrS
Will Shoot Later

Although today marks the opening
of the rabbit season in the state, all
the usual residents who are on the
jury which reported to Superior
Court this morning answered to their
names. Il had been whispered that
rabbit hunting would not be a valid
excuse for absence today; several Of
the jurors had talked yesterday Of
"Brer Rabbit"
Edward Burris, OF Porter's Station,
one of the jurors, satisfied his sport
ing blood by going out early this
morning. He got several cottontails.
Maurice Curry. a motorman on the
Peoples line went out to Brandywine
Springs Park this morning on the
first car and as It passed along the
Workhouse quarry woods a rabbit ap-
peared. Down went the window,
bang went Curry's gun and the
rabbit keeled over dead Maurice got
the cottontail and when the car
bowled along about forty feet another
rabbit appeared and the slaughter
was repeated. Curry says he believes
he shot the first two rabbits in the
state today.
