NO LONGER SELECTS THE HAT
Aubby's First and Last Experience at
Millinery Store, Was Alto
qether Too Costly.

Congressman Ralph w. Moss of In
diana did not care much for hat his
wife wore. He finally spoke about it.
Mrs. Moss admitted that it was plain,
and, instead of taking exceptions to
her husbands remark, invited him to
accompany her the next time she
bought a hat
Il can certainly pick out better
one than that" said Mr.. Moss.
So they went to the store together,
Mrs. Moss said not word as the
comely milliner displayed one beau
tiful bonnet after another. 1t was the
first time Mr.. Moss had ever been in
q millinery store, but he appeared to
be at ease, and finally selected one of
the most joyful creations in the en-
tire stock Mrs. Moss looked we'll in
it. She was pleased.
I'll take that said the Hoosie1
congressman. How much Is IT,"
Forty dollars" said the pretty girl

and was able to produce that much
In cash. Now he let's Mrs. Moss buy

RICH EVENING CL0AKS WORN
chasuble Design Considered Very
Smart, Though Those With Trains
Have Following.

The chasuble coat, subjected to
adaptations and constructing bands be-
low the waist, is very smart So also
is the cope-shaped shoulder wrap Of
plain fur, which can be worn over the
evening cloak and retained when the
cloak is left A delightful evening
wrap follows rather the shape of the
cardinals robe and is carried out in
chiffon velvet. The wide, plain shout
ders are very effective.
Trained evening cloaks are coming
in. another instance Of the impractic-
able way in which most fashions are
DESIGNED. A cloak should never touch
the ground anywhere, and when it is
designed for evening wear, and is
therefore likely to have a long gown
beneath it which has to be held up on
leaving theaters and restaurants, it
ought also to be so arranged that the
fitness of the skirt can be brought
round in the land to the front, where
the cloak opens.

SOME LONG-LIVED BIRDS

1t used to be contended that ravens
lived longer than any other species of
birds, and it was said that their age
frequently exceeded century. Recent
studies of the subject indicate that no
authentic instance of a raven sur
passing seventy years of age is on
record. But parrots have been known
to live 100 years.
There is record of golden eagle
which died at Schonbrunn at the age
of one hundred and eighteen years.
Another golden eagle was kept in the
Tower Of London for 80 years. A
third died at Vienna aged one hun
dred and four years.
Geese and swans are tenacious of
life, and extraordinary accounts exist
Of the great age that they have at
tanned. Button and other authorities
have credited them with eighty and
one hundred years of life.

FAIR CHEEKS ARE NO MORE
Tint Of the Gypsy Has Replaced tho
So Long Familiar "Apple Bios.
som" Effects.

Parisiennes have adopted new
complexion. 1t is no longer fashion
able to have lily white cheeks or to
blanche the face like Pierrot. To be
"chic" one must have brown tint
like gypsy.
A Partisan reception will wear pres
emily the air of collection Of col
onial beauties and sportswomen. And
yet there is no sacrifice of refinement
or elegance in the new fad. A change
of flesh color has not entailed a
change in the fit and fashion Of the
dress. The French woman will still
be impeccably clothed notwithstand-
ing that her pallor and indoors look
have departed, leaving faint touch
Of tan.
We muct make our adieux to "roses
and cream" to apple blossom" to the
"clear spring mornings" and fair
moonbeams." 1t is the imagery of
the poets, but it is no longer true.
Gone is the immaculate body of the
sculptor as an object Of alteration; in
it's place we shall address our odes
to the dusky queens. There Is a new
war of the roses; the white have been
defeated by the red.

HOW VARIOUS PEOPLE SLEEP

The American or the European in
order to get a good nights rest or
dinarily requires q soft pillow under
his bed, but the Japanese stretches
himself on a rush mat on the 'noor'

If he does not have it.
In China they make a great to DO
with reference to their beds. These
are very low, scarcely rising from the
floor, but are often carved exqu1sltely
of wood. Like the Japanese the Chi
nese never makes his bed any softer
than is possible by the use OF rush
mats
1t is a curious fact with reference
to the sleeping habits OF the various
peoples that while those in northern
countries do not appear to be able 10

room in which to stretch their legs'
the inhabitants of the Tropics often
curl themselves up like monkeys at
the lower angle of suspended nam

way.
The robust American will cover
himself with a pair of blankets anu
throw his window open to the all
even in the dead of winter, and some
times he will not complain If there IS
a bit of snow on the window Sill IN
the morning. But the Russian, on the
contrary, likes no sleeping place SO

ODDITIES IN FOOTWEAR

Gust now" says shoe worker,
there is a craze for the curious in
shoes and slippers. The ordinary arti-
Gle Is now no longer popular with
fashionable women, and l have the
greatest difficulty in originating some
thing new for my numerous patrons.
/ have made half dozen pairs Of
dancing slippers with cut-glass heels,
and the effect is extremely pretty.
This novel idea originated with GER
tain young society leader who de-
sired to go to ball as Cinderella.
Her costume was pure white, and she
had tulle wings on her shoulders, and
the train being divided, one frequent
~ obtained a glimpse Of the spar
king heels as she walked or danced.
These heels caused a mild sensation
and several of my patrons at once
demanded cut glass heels on their
slippers. The cost Is not excessive
but I cannot believe that they are
comfortable to dance in.
Heels studded with gems are BY
no means uncommon, and not so long
ago I received an order for a pair of
dancing shoes which were so en-
crusted with diamonds as to be worth
a small fortune. The Jewels have to
be very carefully set, of course, other
wise they drop out, and are seldom
found again.
I'VE make shoes Of every known
material. Leather is by no means
always employed, and if l told you
that I have made slippers of human
skin you would probably not believe
me. But this IL fact, I can assure
you. Hand-painted slippers are very
ordinary, though when the work is
that of real artist they sometimes
come very expensive. Some women
wear very high boots, coming we'll
above the knee. In many instances
high shoes are fitted with receptacles,
in which the fair wearers keep their
money, powder putfs, jewelry, and
many other little articles dear to the
heart of women. AS matter Of fact,

Muffs and Stoies.

There appears to be no limit to the
size Of muffs and stoles this season,

rive but little advantage from the
