work on a motorcycle last summer,
preventing automobiles speeding
through the city, but he cannot do
this nearly as well ON horseback.
Having a mounted policeman Is lit
tie mere than a farce In this city.
He is more of an ornament than
anything else. Judging from the
amount of time spent basking In the
admiration of the crowd continually
passing Smith and State streets, the
officer realizes this and is using it
to the best advantage. A policeman
on a motorcycle, or even a bicycle,
can accomplish a hundred times
more work, and be of vastly more
service to the city, than a man on
horseback.
1t is a recognized fact that most of
the crimes of any city are\committed
at night. In a place of this size
comparatively few officers are needed
during the day. But there are q
larger number needed on duty after
dark. The day officers have an easy
time strolling through the city and
occasionally ringing up headquarters
on the police call system. If half
of these men were taken of days and
made to patrol a district at night,
thereby giving each mar less terri
tory to cover. and thus affording
better service, we do not think we
would hear of so many raids and
robberies as have been taking place.
The department is also provided
with two detective sergeants In plain
clothes. To the average citizen
these tive detectives seem to have a
very easy time. We admit on oc-
casions they go to New York or some
other place and bring back a GRIM
inal and some times ferret out a
crime, but a great many cases that
are reported are simply passed on as
being investigated. If the night
squad Is not capable of handling the
work of this city, at least one of
these plain clothes men could be or
dered to don uniform, as is done In
cities, and, by making the
other man work harder, we believe
good result could be accom-

THERE is something about fringe
j which adapts it to millinery de-
signed for older women particularly
we'll. 1t is made of rich materials, as
lace, chenille, satin and silk. and is
carefully and compactly put together.
Now that It Is SO fashionable, many
hats are trimmed with it, and some of
them entirely covered with the narrow
silk fringes.
There are so many bonnet-like
shapes this season that are worn by
young and old alike. that there is a
wider choice than heretofore for older
women. These shapes are unusually
softening and becoming and very
agreeable change from turban and
toque shapes which have been worn
for so many years. Older women
should consider them with favor. They
are small, with roomy and comfort
able head sizes They fit well down
over the crown of the head and stay
in place without difficulty. Worn
with face veil, they are very neat.
as there is no chance for the hair to
blow about. There is very great va
riety of these shapes, their main diff
ferences being in the backs. Some of
them turn down, some are brimless at
the back and others turn smartly up
ward, allowing room for a low Golf
fure.
In Fig. / a very attractive shape is
shown which may be had in felt. vel

form the trimming. This shape g
worn both by young and elderly wom-
en-, with equal appropriateness.
More particularly designed for older
women. the hat in Fig. follows the
lines of bonnet. The crown is soft
puff of velvet and the trimming a
plume effect made of fringe applied to
quilts and a fringed cabochon. This is
a very new model, rich and dignifed
in effect. 1t is made in the darker
shades of the rich colors which char
acterize this seasons millinery.

Hair Ornaments.

Imitation amber and tortoise shell
pins and barettes for the hair, hand
somely studded with brilliants, are
now in great demand, as the fash
ionable hair dressing, with the soft
waved pompadour and Psyche knot
dressed high on the head, calls for
both the ornamental pins and barettes
for evening wear A revival of the
mound or mop hair dressing in a
much more graceful form is noted
The hair is waved and softly parted
at the left side of the head The bar
is then coiled and piled high and
wide across the top of the head in a
becoming, and natural way. Jeweled
pins and the new buckle barette to
match are very effective with this
hair dressing. -Harper's Bazaar.
