"HE big black picture hat, which
is the queen of each summers
millinery, has arrived. 1t is as
large as ever and bears it's
wealth of plumes in the prevail

beautiful as ever and has contrived to
be more than ever interesting as to
shape. Crowns are moderate in size
or small and of well known shapes.
But brims! therein lie revelations.
They curve, they flare, they turn alb
ruptly upward or swerve downward,
they narrow suddenly, they are dented,
or they flop" with a method in their
madness. But they never forget TO be
graceful. Brims are, without doubt
eccentric, but it is eccentricity with a
purpose. One feels that it is made to
set of the face of the wearer and that
the design would not merit a second
look without it. AS it is the eye rests
with delight upon hat after hat whose
lines are new and lovely. Each one is
designed for some special type of face
and every one may find a becoming
model If she tries long enough.

simple are sometimes faced and at
other times finished with a f1ange of

nothing more.
Among the novelties that have been

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost of tuberculosis and Other Pre-
VentabIe Diseases Has Besa
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find method for
reducing the cost of life insurance,
Prof. James W. Glover Of the Uni
versity Of Michigan demonstrates that
every poHcy-holder of a $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $50 a year on his premiums Il
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such a policy holder Of from
$3.50 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
Of sixty. At age of twenty. with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
lcsis, this one disease alone shOrtens
the complete expectation Of life by
two years and 15S days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association

1T is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mentaI be
cause of designation, physical be
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter of a little
thoughtful care, in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

QUEEN SEEKS REST
Wife of King Haakon of Norway
Is Tired of Court Life.

pleases A husband who is devoted to
her. A son who is growing up full OF
life and spirits, yet a model OF what
a son and a future monarch ought to
be. Subjects universally adoring her.
And, withal, Queen Maud Of Norway
isn't satisfied. She is content with
her husband, Norway's King Haakon
VII, and she is rejoiced over her son,
the Crown Prince Olaf.
Bat she doesn't care for the S200.00O
q year Norway grants to mOnarchs;
she'd rather have the $4,000 she used
to skimp along on and be poor. She
is tired of being her majesty, and
would infinitely prefer being a prin-
cess, poor at that, says a writer. She
would welcome her earlier life, when
she was picked on by a mother-in-law
and where can woman find more
maIign fate? She is willing enough
that the Norgegan people shall adore
her; but she would delight in exchang-
ing her coach of state for the top OF
London omnibus, with Norway forget
ting all about her.
So there, enthroned by a whole ma
tons deliberate choice, victorious
over all misfortune after years OF
harsh subsection, is a queen who re-
sembles no other queen alive, and
woman who is homesick for the very
things which millions of other women
are breaking their necks and their
husbands backs to get away from.
She has had her grandeurs now for
half a dozen years, and the longer
they have been thrust upon her the
stcker she grows of them.
'T sometimes get tired of being
royal especially when I am looked at
and wondered over like one of the

glorious it must be to be able to jump

That was what she said soon after
she was crowned as Norway's chosen
queen. She thinks it more emphatical-
Iy now; she is chemically tired Of be-

if she could only enjoy her outdoor
life as she used to, without any one
noticing her and with her husband at
her side, to be called Carl instead of
Haakon.
She calls him that anyway; but she
wants to hear everybody else speak
of him by the familiar name, and she
longs to hear herself called Harry by
the voices of her own family, as she
used to be when her father, King Ed
ward, was alive and was skimping out
few thousand pounds a year from
his royal income to keep her from be-
ing too hard up over in Denmark.
She is different from her mother,
Queen Alexandra, who has been NOV
ing heaven and earth to retain some
Vestiges of the royal authority she
welded before Queen Mary so merci-
1essly relegated her to dowagership
and obscurity. She is different from
Queen Amelia of Portugal, who braved
assassination to hold her tot1ering

from ItaIy's queen, who assumed a
