shown the lines are modified, and the
slightly upturned brim gives a much
softer and becoming line. The hat is
fine natural color straw, and around
the crown is laid a broad band of cluny
lace. The upturning brim is lined with
cherry-colored velvet, and at the left
side is placed a fetching bow of this
same velvet. The color scheme is most
striking and effective. and for the
fortunate woman who is unlimited as
to number should be one of the most
charming.
The chic and charm of the new

Concerning Boiled Cabbage.
From the Columbus Journal


We have noticed in some Of our ex-
changes some unkind references to this
paper. because of certain disrespectful
remarks concerning boiled cabbage. We
thought at first that there must be q
mistake about it. since 1t Is against the
expressed policy Of this paper to discredit
so sweet and agreeable q Wand. So, we
investigated the matter and found. alas
that II was too true; that one Of our sub
ordinates, to whom had been accorded
the honor OF writing the short para
graphs. disappointed probably because he
had assailed this noble vegetable In
treacherOus insinuations.
No wonder our contemporaries have
spoken bitterly Of these unfriendly allu-
sions to boiled cabbage, one of the fairest
foods that come to the table. AS q vege-
table its expanded fronds draw in more
sunlight, more dew, more fragrance of
flower and leaf than all the growths of
field or garden. and these sweets it finally
folds to it's bosom and holds them tight
until the happy day when 1t unloosens
them from dish of boiled cabbage. That
ds the meaning of this diet and no penny
-a-liner. lacking imagination, can be
allowed to ignore its exalted lineage or
its inherent virtue
The tender heart Of the cabbage, boiled
with q choice piece Of the brisket, makes
glorious dish, and when 1t Is cooking
and the aroma permeates the house. we
defy any one to say that his appetite is
not only increased, but keeps on increas-
ing until a big bite of the succulent herb

tradiction," which indicates that boiled

From the American Journal Of Surgery.
Visitors in surgical clinics are some

number Of small once rooms. as do most
OF the government departments. there
will be one immense hall on each floor.

pursue their usual duties. with their
chief clerk at one end. SO that he may ex-

without leaving his desk.
