Colored hats Of braid, with rolling
brim made on wire frames and
trimmed with changeable taffeta, are
used for darker hats. Immense bows
OF ribbon, with standing loops. form
the trims. Bordered and fancy rib
bons are used for these big ribbon
decorations and loops are wired to
keep them in the outstanding posi-
tons.
Although but one trimming material
is used, or at most two. on this class
of millinery-ampl quantities are nee
essary Of this single material. Bows
are very large, sweeping like wings,
from the body Of the hat. But some
small fancy feather ornaments are ef-
fectively used on small shapes, They
are vivid in coloring as rule, with
cerise and primrose the favorites and
the strongest Of bright greens next.
1t is already settled that black and
white will have a great vogue in the
coming midsummer.

shape is the thing In these hats,
with trimming of the simplest charac-
ter. Shapes have been carefully con-
sidered and are 50 well balanced and
beautiful that trimmings are mere ac-
cessories used to accentuate It's lines,
to repeat or reflect its expression or to
accentuate its peculiarities.
These hats must be properly poised
on the head and the trimming placed
to suit the face of the wearer. But it
must serve purpose on the hat and
not interfere with Its shues or contra
dict them.
Two models In white and black are
shown here trimmed with white wings
and ribbon. The large round shape is
faced with black velvet. The black
milans and hemps trimmed with white
are very chic.

Feature is a Fine Picture at
the Star Theater on
Fourth Street.

Hearts and Memories" is special
feature at the Star theater today In
which Warren, scientist whose beau
itiful wife has just died, goes into the
seclusion of New Hampshire town
ito devote himself to his forthcoming
tbook on nature studies. HE becomes
a boarder at the home of Tanner
Jenkins, whose pretty daughter,
IFulda. Immediately becomes infatu-
ated with Warren, forgetting her
sweetheart. Bob. The young man be-
comes furious and by his actions
shows such hatred to the scientist
that the latter calls on him to find
out the trouble When he learns it.,
he assures Bob of his ignorance OF
the state of affairs. SO he promises
to fix things satisfactorily and to
leave the neighborhood rather than
interfere with their love affairs. He
lets Hulda help him with the sorting
Of his papers and photographs, and
contrives to let her see the picture Of
his dead wife, who he tells her is the
only woman he Gould love. The girl
Is silent, but almost heart-broken,
and she understands. Warren leaves
the country. and Hulda. wretched
and disappointed. goes to the city to
secure employment. AFTER a hard
struggle there she is persuaded by
the faithfulness of her country sweet
heart to return to the old place, and
they are wedded-after she has seen
proofs of his devotion.

The Elks' minstrel entertainment
given in the Auditorium at Still
water. last week, for. the benefit Of
the charity fund, proved a great
success in every way. The GA
zETTE describes 1t as one of the
best entertainments that has been
offered Saltwater people in several
years." The program consisted of
various musical selections, singing,
dancing, jokes and several humor-
Gus sketches, and occupied three
hours. The minstrels were all men,
bers of the Elks' lodge, being, with
two or three exceptions, residents of
Saltwater, and it is stated that the
talent exhibited by them, one and
all, was no less than remarkable.
Among those who took an active
part in the production were several
connected with t h e prison; one
scene, A Roman Travesty," being
acted to perfection by Mr.. Frank
Wolfer, Supt. Williams and Mr..
Binker, former guard. 1t is as
serted by the officers here who at
tended the entertainment that it was
excellent and was enjoyed by them
from start to finish.

An epidemic of house cleaning
recently enveloped The Mirror office
and resulted in the bringing to light
of a number of interesting antiq-
uities. The most important discov-
cry, however, was copy of the New
York TINES of Saturday, February
Is. 1867. 1t is we'll preserved and
it's columns furnished several hours
interesting reading. It is a seven
column quarto sheet and is printed
in solid' agate and nonpareil. Four
columns Of the first page are devoted
to the doings of the thirty-ninth
congress, in which bills such as
Custom Fines Reconstruction, %
and Survey Of the upper Mississ-
ippi" are discussed at some length.
On the first page also is column of
European News and it is stated
that advices are received by ocean
telegraph ID steamship" The
negotiations between Rome and the
Italian Government" and The tel
egraph wires in Ireland cut by the
Fenians," are two of the sub-heads
following. An article dealing with
Mexican affairs informs the reader
that t he people are organizing
against Maximihan." Some little
space on an inner page is given to a
discussion of the Surratt case"
which furnishes an interesting side
light on the conspiracy which re-
suited in the assassination of Lin
coin. The columns of this paper
also have their full quota of news of
railroad and steamship wrecks, mine
disasters, floods, crimes, ETC., and it
proves, in these, at least, that times
have not changed much in the last
fifty years.

There are several youngsters in
Saltwater who seem to find great
enjoyment i'll spending a couple of
hours in the vicinity of the prison,
when the evenings are fine, to echo
those musical bovhood calls through
our gloomy halls. We were all
carefree boys once, and the memory
of those days linger with us, but in
our present situation, they are only
painful and we fain would drown
them in the sleep which these re-
peated moonlight sonatas deny US.

RUDE Vanguard the burly south
paw, who more than any other man
carried the Polo Grounders to
pennent, seems improved even over
his wonderful form of 1911. He
should do as much execution the
coming season as in the past and
that is all that can be expected of
any man. Then of course there's
Matthewson. He can always be de-
pended upon to win more than his
share of games. .Matty may be ag-
ing, but he'll get away with the ex-
perience and his cunning gray mat
ter for several years after his arm
loses its wonderful skill. 1t takes
Christopher longer each season to
reach that fine edge of effectiveness.
a year ago Nc Graw started his
star too soon and the big fellow did
not recover from the strain until.
midJune. This year with Tesreau
added to the regulars, Nc Graw will
save up his wonderful veteran until
he is ripe for real work. When he
turns him loose the public will find
Mathewson the same old Matty of
the past ten years.
A baseball bug here, who has just
completed an exhaustive study of
the history of the game from the
earliest days, has compiled unique
list of the biggest mistakes ever
made in baseball. His list includes
the following: The trading of Chris
/ y Matthewson by Cincinnati for
Russo; the deal by which ST. Louis
sent miner Brown to the Cubs for
Jack Chesbro's wild pitch, and
Merhle's failure to touch second; the
pitching of curved balls to Home
run Baker by Matthewson and Mar
duard: the release of Miller Hugo
ms by Griffith when managing the
Reds; Sherwood "Shellback" Ma
gees assault upon Umpire Finneran;
the failure of Pittsburg and Detroit
to keep Grover Cleveland Alexan-
der; and Cincinnati's turning down
of Marty o. Toole.
Pitcher Louis Drucke of the
Giants, who sued the New York
Rapid Transit Company for $4,000
for injuries he alledged he sustained
in an accident in the subway on Apr
il 20, 1908, has settled for a sum
said to be $4,000. Drueke claimed
his beau was injured He will now
endeavor to show Nc Graw that it
is as good as ever.
