ARE INVESTIGATING
REV. ]. SCHMIDT
CONTINUED from page L.

Coroner Feinberg had revealed clues
to two more young girls, with whom
Schmidt had been intimately acquaint-
ed since he met the first girl he cut
to pieces in the Bradhurst Avenue
flat. Inspector Faurot maintained an
air of great mystery when questioned
EIirt, a former Chum of the murdered
girl who today identified the multi
ated torso in the Hoboken morgue as
that of Anna Aumuller, is said TO have
furnished the police with some yalu-
able new evidence against the sell
confessed murderer.
1t was limited that the clues involy-
ing these girls might reveal the real
motive for the murder Of Anna Au-
muller and motive so sensational
that it would startle the city.
Over 200 letters and post cards have
been secured by the coroner from the
effects of the murdered girl and the
prisoner. These are to be produced
at the inquest which will follow the
one to be held by the New jersey au-
thOrities at Hoboken on Thursday
night. Following the inquest in Ho-
boken, which will complete the rec
ords of the case in the New Jersey
jurisdiction, the dismembcred portion
OF the woman's body will be turned
over to the New York officials. AS
soon as the dismembered portions of
the girls body are received at the
Bellevue morgue they will be treated
with Kaiserlein fluid, preservative
which will help to retain their na1ur-
al coloring. Then Schmidt will be
taken from his cell in the Tombs and
confronted with the mutilated remains
of his victim. He will be asked To
identify the body. This he claims he
will be able to do by mark on the
shoulder.

$1,Ol5 to the district. which had been
expected by City Engineer Allen in
engineering work on the South Main
street work. Engineer Allen mas
paid the money to assistants, at the
instance OF the commissioners. the
commissions paid him being used to
defray the district expense along
that line. after former Mayor Jordan
had cut down the city engineers
force Mr.. Clement colteEded that
the council had agreed to reimburse
the district-or to furnish the engl-
neerng work gratis Aldermen HUT
and We'll declared that they knew
nothing of any promise having beee
made to the commissioners, as stated
by Mr. Clements. Mr.. HUT said that
former Mayor Jordan might have as
sured the commissioners OF such in
tentioa personally. but that the coun-
Gil had no record of any such obliga-
ton. There was nothing on the
minute book to show that the council
had ever taken any such action. Mr..
Allen said he was not asking any
thing from the council. 1t is general
ly admitted that the district and not
the city is indebted to the city engi-
neer for his expenditure. Alderman
Fox moved that the amount asked foH
be appropriated, but the motion
received no second ).
Alderman Simpson, of the Sanitary
Committee, reported that the Union

to remedy the evil had been ignored,

BY LEWIS, 10 Rue Royal, Paris.

Today it is the pleasure of the fash
ionable woman to give the impression
that she has added many "cubits TO her
stature" by wearing hats that are ex-
tremely high. Towering upward to emu
late the busby of the English soldier or
the picturesque turoan of some swarthy
ruler. they vary in every feature except
their height.
There are, of course, many ways in
which this desired quality may be at
tanned. Sometimes il is in the shape of
the hat. This is particularly noticeable
IN the velvet turbans that are now draped
very high with the fullness drawn toward
the rear. When the chapeau itself is OF
modest proportions then ii is decorated
with a high standing ostrich fancy or a
pompon made of the brownish- blue
feathers OF the peacock. or some other
novel trimming.
While many small hats are still in ia
vor, there is decided tendency fol
Evening star., 1913-12-05

modes that are somewhat larger. This
allows little more scope for trimming
and greater variety in the line.
Velvet is still the favored material and
is particularly charming when trimmed
with fur or unique feather fantasies.
Some of the prettiest dress hats are made
OF gold or silver lace One very dainty
model showed a narrow band of fur set
around the crown in the rear. On either
side a small ulster of roses in pale
pink ribbon with foliage thickly studded
with tiny green iridescent beads was
placed occasionally small incrustations of
pearl and rhinestone distinguish these
beautiful hats.
In the illustration today / have de-
picted some of the smartest street models
that are now in vogue. A very chic
chapeau is that at the upper left. 1t is
made of navy blue velvet, and as Nine.
La Mode has decreed that the right eye
be kept under cover, this hat. when cor
rectly worn, is set well down on the head
SO that the narrow brim almost obscures
it. The curving brim sweeps far to the
left, where it is raised high from the
coiffure. A spreading pompon of blue
and gray lends a delicate touch to this
effective creation.
The woman who favors the modes that
vividiy remind one of the quaint pictures
of the early styles in mems hats will be

group. This Misunderstanding hat is one
Of the newest that has been introduced
this season. Fashioned from a rich
black velvet, its only ornament is a
striking fancy developed from the feath-
ers of the ostrich.
In the upper right corner very smart
toque Is shown. Modelled somewhat on
the lines of the tam, a mode that is still
accepted by many smart women, the
crown is unusually high and is artistic
ally draped to the back.
Natural paradise feathers prove inter-
esting trimmings, and as they are also
designed to add to the height, they are
quite bushy and accord well with the
tete de negre velvet from which it is de-
signed.
novel arrangement of plumes is
shown on the model at the lower right.
The color scheme of this is particular
ly noteworthy. The chapeau is designed
from a beautiful tapestry blue velvet,
while the ostrich tips are Of pale mauve
and deep green.
Extraordinary height is achieved in the
creation at the lower left by the unusual
fancy which is made from a black quill
that is developed in a rather uncommon
manner 1t is pleasing to remark that
the winter styles are so many and so
varied lat the modish woman will find
chapeaux to interpret her every mood.

WINTER SALAD HINTS.

Salad has an increasingly large place
on our winter tables. The markets of to-
day make 1t possible to have fresh salad
green's every day OF the year. A small
hot frame makes it possible for the coun-
try dweller. beyond the reach of the big
city markets. to have 1t every day, too
Its health-giving qualities have always
peen recognized, although perhaps never
SO frankly as today. But it is one OF the
Oldest dishes known. The ancient Ro-
mans ate salad green's dressed with a
mixture of oil. ginger. honey, nitre and
picked fish paste-probably tempting
dressing. They ate salad at the begin
ming OF the meal There are epicures to-
day who insist that this is the proper
place for salad. 1t is appetizing and
therefore, say these epicures, It should be
eaten at a time when something appetik-
ing Is needed.
Cheese is a valuable part of our dietary.
1t is said that 1t Is especially beneficial
when eaten with lettuce because the pot
ash salts in lettuce help dissolve the cas-
sia in the cheese. For this reason a
cheese and lettuce sandwich is good; in
fact it Is an almost perfect luncheon.
So much depends upon the seasoning OF
salads. especially in winter when there is
not so much variety in the fresh vege-
with the fundamental greens as there is
In summer. that a book might be written
about them. Some one suggests that the
vinegar in which homemade pickles have
stood should never be thrown away, but
should be saved to use in salad dressing
either French or mayonnaise.
This Is good vegetable salad for win
ter eating: Cut five cold boiled white pota-
toes, boiled beet boiled carrot four
tart apples. a banana and stalk Of cell
cry into cubes. Rub a salad bowl with
an onion and put In the potatoes, carrot,
beet and apples. Mix well with three ta-
blespoonfuls of olive oil, small table,
spoonful Of good vinegar. two tablespoon
fuls Of salt and liberal springle Of cay

dients. garnish with watercress and heap
mayonnaise in the center of the dish,
This is luncheon salad that Is tempt
Ing: Boil three frankfurters in four cup
fuls Of boiling water for seven or eight
minutes. Drain them and cool them and
then slice them in thin slices. Slice four
cold boiled potatoes, a small onion, five
small picked cucumbers and a head OF
crisp lettuce. Dress with French dress
