time is spent there, but they come out
for an occasional meal until the advent of

months.
1t Is stated by w. >R. Lodge. manager
of Silver Lake park, that the bears have
always come out, after alternating for
two or three months, in practically as
good condition as when they went in
none of them showing thlnness, despite
the fact that they have eaten nothing
during that time. Nor do they appear to
be particularly hungry for at the first
meal they take but little food, touching
with the tongue what is offered to them
before eating It, and It is only after three
or four days, or perhaps a week that
they eat with appetite. The young are
born usually in January, while the ami
mails are in Information. The weight of
the newborn cubs ranges between nine
and II ounces. They are plump little fell
lows. with short, velyety hair of grayish
brown color. Fortunately none of the
cubs have been lost except through acct
dent. and the death of one bear, 20
months old, was the only loss by dis
ease
The food which is supplied to the bears
is similar to that which they get in their
wild state, hotel picnic tables affording
large amount of miscellaneous scraps,
to which is added an abundance of greer
food from nearby farms,

FRAUDULENT APPEAES

To more thoroughly acauant the people
of Birmingham with the methods of those

strong that the plea is fictitious.
These various Illustrations are but a few
OF the many schemes to extract money
from the unwary. Attention is directed
TO them by reason Of their pausibility
and the fact that they are the ones most
frequently used. Roughly speaking, they
may be classified under the heads OF

Bears in Captivity

FROM the WdSlllil6t oldis
In 1904 a. b. Baker. assistant superin-
tendent of the National Geological park,
published an account of the breeding of
the American black bear at Silver Lake
park, Ohio, which appeared in the Smith
sonian Miscellaneous Collections. The
paper covered a period of II years study,
and as the breeding of these animals has
been continued up to the present time.

California Woman's Good Shot

TLOWERS are used in such profu-
"a sion and in SO great variety of
Il ways, on all sorts of shapes, that
they can hardly be unfashionably
placed. But certain new arrange
nents are popular and very effective
IN the shapes for which they are in
ended. First Of all, those stiff, up
standing and compact branchings,
Known by the matter-of-fact name Of
'stick-up," hold first place as good
sellers. They are used as finishing
ouch with or without other flower
trimming. Often a crown is entirely
covered with blossoms, clambering
over it in the most natural manner,
'ollowing its outlines exactly, but such
crown is invariably finished with a
'stick-up," such as those shown in the
picture here, or with one made of rib
BON or feathers.
Roses, as always, lead all other
lowers in demand. The sweet pea
follows closely, the lilac and the violet
have great vogue, and large daisies
promise much prominence for midsum-
mer. But 1t Is to be remembered that
all the flowers that grow (and some
hat don'D are to be found among the
displays which make the millinery
shops places of gay and inspiring
beauty.
Large picture hats for midsummer
show the water lily, with single, life
like blossoms, set at intervals about
the base of the crown or on the brim.

sometimes in black, is set fiat to brims

COLORED FLOWERS OF SILK
All Designs and coIors of These Mil
linery Adornments Seem to
Have Found Favor.

On girdles and at the fastening Of
fichus and bodice drapery the silk
flower is almost ubiquitous. Large
roses, wound around hard cotton
padded centers, are made very sue
cessfully now. Others have their pet
ais cut out and bound with narrow
satin ribbon.
The double petal is sewed on the
wrong side, turned and stitched again
on the edge Of the right and gathered
in at the base. Five or six of these
make lovely flower, clustered around
a center of yellow stamens, bought at
the millinery counter.
There are flowers that are made of
round petals and some of pointed and
oval petals. Pond lilies are enjoying
great favor; camellias and gardenias
are next; the rose is always in high
popularity.
On hats, a single handmade flower of
large size will grace millinery. Clus-
ters Of them will be used on lace and
linen caps for babies, and the little
straw bonnets for tiny tots will be
just as highly favored as ever.
What is prettier than a lingerie hat
with a colored flower of silk?
The Colorado statesman., 1912-05-18
New Bags and Purses.

Red hand bags and purses are ex.
pected to be extremely popular this
spring and the shops show many va.
rieties. both in shape and material. A
very popular shape is an unusually
fiat envelope with two long leather
straps. The bag is not large and is
almost square. 1t is of long grain
morocco in the brightest red. A fiat
envelope strap bag has metal rim.
For more sober taste there are charm,
ing brown suede or seal bags and en-.
velopes. A very fiat dull seal bag
with what is called a gate frame, q
contrivance which keeps the bag much
fiatter, mounted in gilt, is SIS. Black
suede bags and envelopes are ex.
tremely fashionable for women who
wear black at all. Long, fiat bags OF
this sort are mounted in silver or sD
yer gilt.

Not for tho Bird Lovers.

Many of the feather fashions of this
season will be bitterly opposed by the
bird lovers, and there are happily
many women who have the courage OF
their convictions and who will ignore
the DEGREES of Nine. la Mode and
frankly show their preference for the
graceful floral aigrettes now being
made.
Flowers are suggested as substi-
tute for feathers that have been pro-
cured by cruelty. but it may not be
out of place to point out to the gentle
danes who wish to protect bird life
that it is at least equally their duty to
see that in the modes they are ready
to adopt they are not simply encour-
aging the sweatshop evil. Silken roses
and velvet pansies may entail as great
hardships as the aigrette or the os-
prey.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-05-18
Untrlmmed Hats.

Paris has set its seal of approval on
the untrimmed hat. This moved fashion
is illustrated on hats of small size or of
picture dimensions, the only attempt at
trimming being narrow line of velvet
which covers the joint between brim
and crown. In hats of picture style,
carried out in velvet or plush, the no
trimming idea is very charming, the
draped material, especially the plush,
being sufficient trimming in itself.
