Soft Crowned Hats.

Everywhere in Paris the principal fea-
ture of the hats for this season is the
soft crown. For forming these soft
crowned hats. a thick cotton tulle with
out any stiffening is used From all that
can be gathered the real aigret dimin-
ishes in favor. All sorts OF little featn-
ers. particularly those of pigeons and
chickens, are much used the natural
chicken feathers varying from light yell
low to brick red. and the favorite way
of arranging them is in a hand almost
covering the brim of the hat and sticking
up in all directions, five of the largest
feathers being placed upright at the back
of the hat. These, with the very short
breast feathers, tinted in the REQUIRED
shades. give the effect of flowers Quilts
have come into use again and will form
one of the simplest and most popular va
rietieS of trimming.

the rich wraps lend very kindly atmos-
phere of luxury, and cover up chairs that
would be absurdly out of keeping with
the rich costumes Worn in the boxes.
When one steps out of a box for a
visit to another box or for a saunter on
the promenade. near the ring, the wrap
is always donned. 1t is considered ex-
ceedngly bad form to move about wrap
less at so cosmopolitan an affair as the
horse show, and an uncovered evening
gown is never seen on the promenade.
The white ermine wrap illustrated is typi-
cal of the sumptuous fur garments worn
at the horse show. even though the
weather in its Indian summer mildness
may render the weight and warmth of
such a garment well nigh intolerable.
This wrap has very simple lines and, like
many of the new wraps, does not fall to
the extreme edge of the gown beneath.
The shorter cut, together with the closely
wrapped effect of the garment. reveals
the foot and ankle plainly, when the soft
folds of the skirt are lifted in crossing
a corridor stepping into a limousine.
One feels that this is quite as it should
he, for usually the footwear that accom-
panies the evening costume is far too
pretty to be hidden. The most adorable
little boots of satin matching the gown.
and having buttons of amber or faceted
glass, are revealed by the lifted skirt:

The beautiful white ermine coat pic

this is also indicative of style note of
the autumn Everything is loaded with
cord, braid and passementerie trimmings,
and even the fur garments are trimmed
with tassels and cord ornaments. as they

are new mink muffs and neckpeces with

Even velvet suits have edges bound with

dressy suggestion to the. simplest suit,
but simple suits are not the fashion for
anything except morning wear, and at
the horse show elaborate costumes rather
than simple ones are affected. That vel

noon is proved by the large number of

PEACE AGAIN RESTORED
AMONG ZION CITY FOLKS

Chicago, May 9.-Active hostilities
the north shore city have been aban-
doned, temporarily at least.
Following the riot in connection
with the war on tobacco users Tues
day night, when blows were exchang-
ed and several persons were carried
away from the scene of conflict in
an injured condition, a long consul
tation between the Voliva forces was
held in the Zion hospice.
1t was determined to hold another
prayer meeting on the improyised
platform opposite the Cook electrical
works, in an attempt to wean the en-
ployes at that plant from their use
of tobacco. The effort to hold the
meeting was a failure, however, as
the city marshal, who is an indepen-
dent, several deputies and workers
from the electrical plant barred the
way and refused to permit the Zion
lists to advance nearer to their plat
form than 200 yards.
After a wordy battle, the Zionists
retreated and last night. despite the
assertion of Wilbur Glenn Voliva that
the meetings will be held on the pray
er platform every morning and every
night, no attempt was made on the
part of his forces to hold a meeting.
Instead the Zionists contenfed them
selves by holding long session of
prayer at the Zion hospice.

of the Cook Electrical company, said
