There is a new turban which is but
developed in black, lustrous braids,
and it has been christened the Me-
phisto. This sinister name seems to
apply, inasmuch as his Satanic maj
esty has always been considered in
teresting and that is what may also
be said of the new turban.
1t is q narrow, close-ftting hat with
an oval crown and a coronet sloping
up to sharp points at the front. 1t is
made Of q fine, lustrous and pliable
black braid. At the front two stand
ing antennae stamp the turban with a
certain individuality. Although made
all of black no one will pronounce this
piece Of millinery either quiet or
somber. On the contrary, it is full Of
go" and suggests a little mischief.

Problems Of city Building.

"one of the problems in modern
city building is to allow proper space
on the sidewalks for shade trees" said
Henry r. Deacon of Detroit, Mich, at
the Hotel Stafford. Every country in
the world is advocating the planting
Of shade trees in cities. Many of the
modern cities that are being built
special attention is being given to the
shade tree problem. The United States
government has taken up the matter
and is making close study of con
iitions that exist in other countries.
Some cities pave close up, and by
thus cutting on the natural surface
water supply contribute to the early
death of the tree. Others have an un,
paved circular space around the tree
which is often dangerous for pedestrt
ans, and is unsightly. There is city
in Belgium that solves the problem by
leaving a space of two feet all around
the tree and paving up smoothly to
flush iron ring, having recess inside
to receive a sectional removable iron
grating flush with the sidewalk. This
makes a neat walk and saves the
tree"

JUST THROWING OUT A HINT
IL Charity Fund Was to BE Given to
the Needy, He Could Use
Part of II.

The children of a Boston Sunday
school class had contributed their
pennies for weeks to fund which
was to be devoted to charitable pur-
poses. and on the day when they were
to decide upon the matter Of its dis
tribution each child was called upon
to express an opinion as to how IT
should be spent.
The teacher explained to them that
there were several charities which
would be glad TO receive the fund,
either in Boston or among the for
eign missions. She had impressed
upon them, however, that the money
might be spent to good advantage
among the sick and needy children
of their own parish. Several bright
speeches on the subject had been
made, when one seven-year-old boy
arose and, evidently bearing in mind
the teachers remarks about charity
beginning at home, said:
7 want you to know that / have
put a good many pennies in that

CITIES NEED MORE SUNLIGHT
French Architect Urges Far-Reachins
Reform in Street Planning
for the Future.

Far-reaching reform in city plan
ming as a primary factor in the battle
against tuberculosis was demanded
by the architect, Augustin Rey. in an
address made before the French So
ciety of Civil Engineers.
According to NJ. Rey, cities of the
future must be SO constructed that
the direction of all the streets shall
correspond to the suns daily course
in the heavens In order that the in.
habitants may receive the maximum
of light, which is the greatest mi
crobe killer in existence.
The task Of architects, he says, will
be to plan towns in such way that
every nook and corner shall receiv.
its share of the suns rays for the
greatest possible number OF hour.
daily. On this account he insist:
that the present system of small
apartments will have TO go, and theil
places be taken by smaller and mort
airy dwellings.
He concludes by saying that the
present nickname of Paris, 'the City
of Light" should be that OF all towns
which care for the health OF theil
inhabitants.

And, talking, took his hat and hung 1t ir

Shed thought Of him all day, she hast

She led him to q nook and sat beside him
there;
She deity smoothed his tie and tucked
one corner in,
And with her little hand she softly
touched his chin.
She told him she was sure he'd some day
make his mark;
The nook In which they sat was all their

He found her in his arms and vowfng to

He never told his love-she made it need
