QUANTITY PRETTY
IS BASKET HAT
With Elaborate Trimmings, the
Style Has Become Popu-

WORN WITH TAILORED SUITS

n ARIs.-The basket hat is a quaint

~ARIS-The basket hat is quaint
affair! 1t is shaped almost ex-
n actly like a small basket, and the
handle is represented by little
string of velvet or satin passed tight
Nv under the chin. These novel hats
are trimmed with punches of fruit or
with careless wreaths of small flow
ers.
M Claude Cherys has sketched a
basket hat to accompany this article.
Here you have this new and quite orr
ginal shape at it's best. The model
was made of Japanese straw in deep
shade of midnight blue and at one
side there was splendid COG de
roche" in a rich tomato red tint. The
hat was tied under the chin with
strings of deep blue tulle. This shape
looks we'll when worn with tailored
suits OF white linen and the brilliant
note introduced in the trimming of
the hat might be repeated in the
waistcoat or sash.
Another Cherys hat is quite piCtur-
vesQue in outline. 1t is large and shady
and the brim is not wired; the attrac-
ton of the hat is the supple brim,
which falls into graceful curves with
each movement of it's wearer. This
is earlier model. The hat itself is
made of satin in a rich port wine
shade, and this satin is yelled with
dull blue chiffon. The low crown is
wreathed with red berries framed in
dark green leaves; at one side there
is a mount of folded green leaves and
berries. These wide flop" shapes
are very fashionable. They are made
in all the newest varieties of straw as
we'll as in Leghorn and Tuscan. They
demand a young and pretty face, for
the flop" bat is apt to add unwel-
come years wher adopted by a woman
who has passed her first youth.

Suggestive Dress Bad.

Spartansburg, S. C.-Rev. Stephen
A. Nettles, editor of the Southern
Christian Advocate, declared that 1t
would be far better for the women to
follow the custom of many African
tribes, who are robed in nothing more
than beads, than to wear the sugges.
tive dresses that are SO popular at
present.

To look we'll they must be pinned on
the hat as though they were going to
cover the face, and then they must be
carelessly thrown back and allowed
to fall loosely over the shoulders, or
more correctly, over one shoulder.
Several we'll known French women
have long made practice of wearing
these wells For example, Nine Ed
mond Rostand, Nine. Catulle Mendes
the Vicomtesse dOrigny, Comtesse
Greffulhe and others These long
wells look splendid when made of real
fine black lace; they are effective in
white also, but the fine black lace
wells meet with most approval from
the exclusive Parisiennes. For the
Trouville season these long wells will
be in great demand When stirred by
sea breezes they float out in a delight
full fashion, making a fascinating
frame for face and hair. These wells
can be worn with severely plain sailor
shapes, when the brim of the hat is
sufficiently wide; they do not look
we'll with small sailor hats, though
they can be made to give excellent
effects when worn with close fitting
toques Various laces are used for
such wells as those just described, fine
Chantilly Malines, point d'Angleterre
etc. For garden hats or for morning
wear at the seaside the most fashion
able hats are those made of rough
natural straw in the 'canotier" or
sailor shape, or the same shape COW
cred with fine linen in two shades.
White linen canotiers lined with pale
blue or pale linen look we'll when ac-
companied by a floating veil in pale
tinted chiffon Everything is done
to bring about picturesque, extra
feminine effects.
White TuIle Waistcoats.
In Paris they ars making a spe-
cialty of white tulle waistcoats, little
sleeveless garments which give an air
of extreme distinction to a simple
linen suit. These waistcoats are
sometimes set in fine tucks and Dor
idered with a fiat ruching, sometimes
they are made of two thicknesses of

At Cisco, Placer county, California,

Floating Veil Popular.

The floating veil, which originally
came from the States, is amazingly
popular. There is a great art in ar
ranging and wearing these long wells.

tulle and left plain, with a border of
washing silk in white or some very
pale color.
The prettiest possible buttons are
introduced on these garments; ba-
rogue pearls, turquoises set in rims of
paste, little globes of pale quartz, etc.
Now that lace and net frills are al
most ubiquitous on the front Of sum-
mer blouses these net and tulle waist
coats complete an ultrasummary cos.
tune. The suit itself may be of the
plainest order, just a well tailored
coat and skirt in white linen or thin
blue serge. Both skirt and coat
should be guiltless of trimming, but
the frilled chemisette and dainty
delight to the eye.
In Flowered Silk.
Flowered silk waistcoats fashioned
in modified Louis XIV. style are also
very fashionable. These waistcoats
have pockets at breast and hips; they
are always double breasted and they
are frequently finished with buttons
of great value. These Louis XIV. and
Louis XIV. waistcoats can be worn
with all sorts and conditions of coats,
those of satin, linen, serge, shantung,
etc. Some of the new lowered silks
sent out by the famous Lyons firms
are rarely beautiful Sometimes the
ground is of shot silk and the flowers
are of the blurred" order, sometimes
irregular sprays of roses or pansies
are thrown against ground of white
watered silk. Great care must be
taken to have buttons which harmon
ize with some leading tint in the flow
ers. In Paris the attention is concen-
trated on such apparent trif1es as but
tons and shoe buckles, with the result
that a note of extreme richness is
frequently added to an otherwise SIM
pie costume.
New Neck RuffIes.
Neck ruffies of tie order in which in
Paris is called tour de cou" are more
popular than ever. And they are made
in endless variety. Some of the most
charming are those composed of fine
shades; for example, white, palma vio-
let and black, or again, rose DuBarry,
China blue and black. On the other
hand the ruff1es made of pure white
tulle are full of fascination. They
make an enchanting frame for the
face and, comparatively inexpensive,
are within reach of all. For young
cyir af WI Ci
with pale roses set into the folds are
lovely These ruffies can be tied by
long lengths of soft satin ribbon or
they can be invisibly fastened with
hook and eye. 1t is very much the
fashion to make neck rutf1es and hat
trimmings to match, wide ruff1e of
black and white tulle inset with deep
red roses circling the hat crown as
we'll as the throat, for example.

BOXING ARCHER MAY sIGN-BAsEBALL
Archer and Murphy May Meet-Both
Men in City.

President Murphy of the Cubs re-
turned yesterday from Memphis, and
it is possible he and Jimmy Archer
will have conference this afternoon
or tomorrow on the catcher's salary
demands. Archer is in the city and
will remain for several days.
Murphy repeated his declarations
that Archer would have to sign at
the figures already offered him, but
his tone indicated a compromise
might be made Archer received $4,-
500 for his work last year. His con-;
tract this season is believed to call
for a thousand-dollar boost A deal
may be fixed up that will give the I
star receiver $4,000, which he would
probably accept.
1t is up to Murphy to settle this 1
Archer question, and settle it quick,
one way or the other. If Archer is
to be kept with the team through
salary increase, bluff should be
dropped and Murphy should hand
out the coin. Every day the pickering
is prolonged hurts the chances of the
Cubs to finish high up in the pennant
race.
The salary of Roger Bresnahan is
being used as an argument for giving
Archer what he asks, and several ex-
perts are beginning to knock the
former Card and declare he is over
paid. Stories are being circulated that
Roger and Evers are unfriendly, and

Cubs Slaughter Memphis-caIIaha1
and Lord Canned.

Ed Reulbach started the first triple
play of the season for the Cubs at
Memphis yesterday and pulled the
play off by neck. With men on first
and second a batter pasted the ball
at Ed. 1t caromed off the singers
Adams apple into the hands of John
Evers before touching the ground.
John shot it to BridweI for the Sec
ond out and Bird relayed the third
man dead to Safer.
The other unusual feature of the
game was that Reulbach passed only
three men in five innings. He was
hit safely four times. Larry Cheney
finished the mound work with two
hits chalked against him.
Twenty hits were garnered by the
Cubs off the eccentric shoots of three
Memphis pitchers. Clymer got four,
and Mitchell, Miller, Schultz and Zim-
norman three each. Evers and Bird
well were small contributors with a
pair of bingles Zim's blows were the
same old crashing swats, two doubles
and homer.
The Cubs staged some nifty field
ing in addition to their weird triple
killing. Twice Bridwen, Evers and
Safer superintended the putting away
of two guys at shot.
In the eighth inning the Cubs scor-
ed ten times, Mitchell and Clymer
each polling two safeties in the round.
Today Evers has his men in Nash
vile for three-day stay and games
are scheduled with the Southern
Leaguers each afternoon. Lavender
will have a chance to work in one Of
these games, and Lefty Pierce, the
youngster who has shown much class
this spring, will exhibit his budding
off-side delivery.

ness methods and practices the COM
pany had increased its prices, to the
grave injury of the farmers, and had
coerced dealers and eliminated com
petitors.
The company, in its answer, filed
Aug. 5, 1912, admitted the purchase
of the harvester properties and bust
ness of the five vendor companies, but
denied that the company was organic
ed for any unlawful purpose or that
! such purchase gave it a monopoly in
the harvester trade, or that 1t had in
creased prices, or that its business
methods and practices had injured the
farmers or the dealers, or its compet.
itors, but, on the contrary, its answer
stated that its organization and busi-
ness had been benefit to the farmers
| in improved machines and service and
in the low prices of the machines.

Of murder in the first degree for her
part in the killing of her husband,
William, last June.

an to be convicted of first degree MUIR

partly drugged her husband, took him
out for a walk for several miles and
then shot him to death.

the appearance Of suicide. Mrs
Wakefield then reported to the police
that her husband was missing and
that she feared he had ended his life
An Investigation resulted in the ar
rest OF the couple and both confessed.
1t is probable that Mrs. Wakefield and
Plew will be sentenced together.

Riotous Scenes Enacted
in the Business Section

POLICE ARE HELPLESS
Five Hundred of Employees on

Surrender Their Arms.

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 1.-Rioting

which started at IL O'Clock last night,
broke out in the heart OF the business
section at O'Clock this morning. Cars
we're held up and trolleys taken from
cars, which were left standing in the
street
The police seemed unable TO cope
with the strikers and hundreds of
their friends. 1t was necessary for
police to go ahead of the cars and
clear the way.
Strike leaders hurled invectives at
car crews and demanded that they
join the strike. Few persons patron
lied the cars this morning. Many
cars had been routed through the
town district to avoid creased rails.
| Nothing like q regular schedule was
maintained. officials declare only 10
per cent of the men are out on strike.
Leaders contend 500 are on strike.
After more than an hour of rioting
mounted police were called and drove
crowds away from the cars.
Rioting broke out anew shortly be-
! fore noon. Trolley wires we're broken
and crews taken off of two cars.
Valves on number of cars were opca-
ed, releasing the air which worked
the brakes. Boys were aiding the
strikers.
i At noon the company practically
abandoned efforts TO operate cars.
Five hundred strikebreakers are ex-
pected from Chicago this afternoon.

New York, Nov. 1.-The contents Of
Investigator Hennessy's little black
book, as far as it related to his con
ference at Sing Sing with Stephen j.
SullweD. the convicted senator, were
made public here today The book
was placed in evidence at the John

The names of Charles r. Murphy, Sen

This was refused and the negotiations
were dropped. The interview in the
wardcn's Office, with a stenographer as
eavesdropper, continued for hours.
The stenographic report was broken
and disjointed This, it was explained,
was due TO noises of passing trains.
The dialogue shows a keen verbal duel
between Hennessy and Stillwell. The
latter was evasive and fearful OF be

diligently for disclosures he believed
might permit Sulzer TO challenge the
