Ever Hear Of Fish Scales on an Alto HOrn7

u ITTSBURGH. PA.-Who put the
/ Bismarck herring in Harry Bak'
er's horn? City Hall threatens to be
rocked by the controversy that has
arisen over this simple and almost
personal question. At least that's
what the gossipers say. To tell the
truth Harry refuses to be interviewed
when the reporters attempt to get him
to tell the details.
Now MIR. Baker may be the innocent
victim Of irresponsible and unrelent-
ing scandal mongers. And again Mr..
Baker may have incriminated himself
by simply refusing to be interviewed
on the subject. At any rate the tale
remains undenied, and in that event
1t is too good to let slip by without
making some mention Of 1t.
Harry Baker is one Of the crew that
guides the destinies Of the mayors
office. In this capacity 1t is one OF
Harry's provinces to see that the gang
that congregates about that sanctum
every afternoon behaves itself with
proper decorum while waiting for the
summons to enter the holy OF holes
where the mayor sits with his feet on
the mahogany desk.

"I'll tell you how l did 1t ALL" she

Cork. Ireland, when my father was
buying gold lace and the discarded
trappings Of the English officers who
were suddenly ordered to India and
other parts Of the empire. He was
such a fine. square man that he had
friends everywhere. As the officers

The stroller on Fifth avenue must
concede that the smartest dressing to
be met with on any thoroughfare
passes like an unending pageant be-
fore him. Styles are set forth at their
best, for there are the women OF dis
eliminating taste, and the American
above all others, knows how to cos
tune herself for the promenade.
The most notable and smartest OF
the prevailing styles reconcile US even
to extremes. The revival Of interest
in mourning millinery and mourning
gowns has resulted in the adoption OF
white or white and black for summer
wear, instead of all black. There are
wonderful examples Of this elegant
headwear to be seen more frequently
than for many seasons. It has an un-
deniable distinction. Added to this,
the new white Grape is very beautiful.
The all white crepe hat is to be seen,
with either white or black net veil
bordered with Grape.
Besides the all.crepe hat in white
black and white are combined and so

well balanced that everyone admires
them. Sometimes white predominates,
with only touches Of black, and some
times the design shows the reverse
treatment. In the black and white
crepe sailor pictured here there ID
about an equal division Of the colors.
All white is worn for first mourn
ing, exactly as black crepe is. A smart
example is shown here, with the body
of the hat and the trimming both
made Of white crepe. It is character
istic Of mourning millinery that the
trimmings and ornaments are made OF
crepe. The new modes show wings
and flowers simulated in this material.
A wreath OF small lilies in white and
clusters of small roses in black were
so strikingly beautiful that they com.
handed more than passing admiration.
They will not be forgotten.
White mourning has much to com
mend it. It is cool and 1t is inconspic'
uous. Also It is beautiful and elegant;
above all 1t is not sombre anr oppres-

Among strictly tailored waists those

SLIPPERS FOR THE BEDROOM
Dainty Affairs Fashioned Of 6roeaded
Satin Are Being Shown for
Summer Wear.

To wear with the summer neglige
the shops are showing dainty slippers
fashioned Of brocaded satin. These
are rather expensive If you desire to
purchase them, but II you are clever
at needlework they can be duplicated
at home for very much less.
First purchase q pair Of soles the
required size and bind them with a
fancy silk braid Of the predominating
color used in the brocade. When
choosing the broeade select design
which will look well on the top Of the
foot.
From heavy muslin cut a piece OF
material to form the toe portion Of the
slipper. This must At smoothly to the
sole and be wide enough to comforta'
bly, accommodate the foot.
Using this as q guide, cut two SINH
lar pieces from the brocaded satin and
haste the two together. Outline the
design, with twited silk Of the same
tone and improve the slipper top by
embroidering tiny flowers here and
there. To the back of the muslin whip
stitch q lining OF white silk and bind
the top with braid to match the soles.
Join the toe portion to the soles with
strong silk thread, whipstitching the
two together.
A pair Of these slippers makes a
charming gift to the graduate or the
bride-to-be.
They are quickly made and the re-
suit speaks for itself.
A case can be fashioned to contain
these slippers from brocaded satin Of
the same design. Make 1t to resemble
a large envelope and place the slippers
between the folds, fastening the flap
with q pearl button and buttonhole.
Now that you have the suggestion
why not begin to make pair OF Slip
pers? You may have some odd scraps
Of lovely brocaded satin to form the
nucleus. Why not utilize them?
