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
tagaIs 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
jeweled pin high over the bust and
on the left side.
The sleeve" string is simply 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 a little comment regarding its
probable popularity, but withal seems
to be finding favor in the eyes of the
truly great dictators of styles.

FLOWERS IN SCHOOL ROOM
Nature Never Falls to Awaken Inter-
est and Enthusiasm Of Young
Children.

In some European countries, notably
France and Belgium, bowers and
plants have been made conspicuous
as well as an official feature OF all
schoolrooms. In the September issue
of the Craftsman, writer tells great
deal of the workings of some OF the
most notable of the schools. One
teacher is quoted as saying: I'VE are
counseled in our country schools to
teach our children beauty in all It's
possible expressions, through books,
pictures, sculpture; but l have found
that my little pupils are neither old
enough, advanced enough, nor alert
enough to understand the masterpieces
of great achievement. Most famous
pictures and books have failed to in
terest them. On the other hand, |
have found that nature never fails to
awaken their enthusiasm. So we live
and study close to her ample, kindly
heart, and our lives are filled with the
beauty that the greatest artists can
not quite achieve"

TIMELY TIP ON LINGERIE
Among Prettiest Corset Covers Are
Those That Fit Into PepIum q
at Waist.

The busy bachelor maid" who has
no one to look after the little details
of her wardrobe, but must attend to
them in the bits and edges of time
after business hours when she would
be glad to stretch out and relax in
place Of fussing with tapes and rib
bons, continues to buy or make her
corset covers and combinations
with headings or castings at waist and
neck edges, in which ribbons must be
run If they are to be worn with any
comfort.
Yet among the prettiest corset covs
ers of the present day are those that
fit into a peplum at the waist line, a
narrow insertion or tiny band of fold
ed lawn covering the join and render
ing draw tape" superfuous, and
those that have the fullness at the
upper edge gathered daintily, to fit,
once and for all, under similar fin
fishing band to which the lace or en-
broidery around the neck is joined.
Reference is not made to the close
| fitting corset cover, which reminds
one of fitted lining. These peplum
corset covers have a slight fullness at
the waist line, gathered into the band,
and almost as much at the upper
edges, before finishing, as if the bead
ing were to be used, with baby ribbon
to draw it close. And they yield moth
ing to the other style, either in pretti-
ness of appearance or perfection of
finish. Moreover they quite eliml-
nate all unnecessary punching" at

he GETS AWAY WITH II
Variety Actor Tackles Second Grave
digger In Hamlet and Steals All
the Laughs.

A company playing Hamlet" was
forced to find an actor to play the
Second Gravedigger on account of the
Illness of the second comedian Of the
eoEnpany. The only actor available
was variety performer who had no
reverence for Shakespeare and no re-
spect for the traditions of the classic
drama. The Second Gravedigger was
q comedy part, and he knew that he
could get away with It,"
When the First Gravedigger threw
OF the first waistcoat, revealing an,
ether underneath, the audience tit
tered. The removal of the second
waistcoat brought loud laugh, and
The third produced roar. The First
GraYedigger was delighted. He had
never played to such an appreciative
audience and visions of good notices
Ia the papers and possible increase
IN salary began to loom up before his
eyes. AS he threw off the fourth
waistcoat he turned partly around,
and the cause of the unusual hit was
disclosed to him.
The Second Gravedigger, being ac-
eustomed to build laughs on lines and
business of other actors, saw his OPP
portunity and seized 1t. AS fast as
the First Gravedigger would throw
tho waistcoats on the ground, the
variety comedian would pick them up
and put them on. The new business
was much funnier to the audience
than the old, with which it was thor
0ughly familiar.
Not content with having stolen the
laughs from the regular comedian in
this scene, the new man went fur
Their. When the First Gravedigger
said TO him, Go, get thee to Waugh

which there is no reply in the text /,

Move! May to ANNOUNCE Enaauement.


A novel scheme recently was used
to announce the engagement of Faye
Cleaver Bruen, of Oakland, Cal, to
Richard Yates Hoffman, of Chicago,
both of whom have many society
friends in the states. Mrs. William
Gould Bruen, mother of Miss Bruen,
gave a dance in honor of her daughter
and invited thirty young society per-
sons of Oakland. Hoffman also was
present. The initials of the dance
numbers spoiled Miss Bruen's and
Hoffman's names, but that was not OBJ
served until after the announcement
of the engagement was made in an
other way. AS an extra dance was
announced the guests gathered in a
circle round large tissue-paper bag
suspended from the ceiling Each per-
son grasped string and at a given
signal pulled. Papier-mache cats
jumped from the bag, and each had a
card announcing the engagement.
''The cat was let out of the bag" in a
truly surprising way.
