There is, quite evident, an awakening
interest in the matter of millinery
styles with some degree of perman-
ence. At last seasons hat Tin the
nomenclature of the millinery trade)
Is the "deadest on earth" But this
is not altogether true, has not been in
the past and will be less than ever
true in the future. Women who
own fine leghorn and panama
hats are loath to have them reblocked
or changed in outline, because they
are beautiful in outline and quality
to start with. BY way of variety, they
may be retrimmed from season to sea-
son. Sometimes a hat is so good from
an artistic point of view, that worn or
faded trimming is replaced with other
exactly like it, or trimming is selected
with a view to its capacity to stand
cleaning.
Hats modelled on those pictured by
Rembrandt and Gainsborough be-
long to the class which may be said
to be always good style" This does
not mean that they are always fash
ionable, it means that they must be
reckoned with outside the realm Of
carricious fashions; that women Of in
telligence and fine taste VIII wear

BACK DOOR TO THE SALOON

1t is said that it is better to have

think that it is much better that
any business which tends to the de-
moralization of community, should
be done on the sly, and in violation
of law. and amid conditions tending
to disgust and repel, rather than I'M

LAVENDER AGAIN IN FAVOR
Pleasant Scent So Popular Some
Years Ago Taken Up by the
Present Generation.

Who does not love the faint per.
fume Of lavender flowers? In past
generations the delicate purple bios
SONS, dried in the sun, were used al
most entirely by our grandmothers
for pertaining their fine linen, their
gowns and even their hats.
Linen chests were not complete
without their small bags of lavender
laid between the sheets and pads of
lavender between the folds of table
cloths and napery. Chests where all
the lovely handmade lingerie was
kept, where the prospective bride
stored the articles of her trousseau
as they were finished, one by one,
were plentifully supplied with laven-
der blossoms tied up in neat little
linen bags.
Then. for some reason, the fashion
of pertaining with lavender went out,
and the more pungent and heavier
scents were used But now. with the
return OF fashions OF other days, the
vogue for lavender is with us again.
Truly fastidious women now have
their clothing laid between pads Of
lavender, and pinned In the front of
their gowns Is a small sachet, covered
with silk or linen embroidered to
match the color ribbon used In the
lingerie.
Twelve inches OF three-inch wide
ribbon that has been cut in half, then
sewed together on the selvage edge
and fringed out on the ends. then filed
with dried lavender flowers, makes
the prettiest kind Of corsage sachet.
Little bags or flap pads OF handker-

less of the fashions OF the moment.
In Fig. a Rembrandt turban 10
pictured made of velvet. Two feath-
ers only (from the pheasant) are used
for trimming. Simplicity and grace
are its paramount features and they
are most important factors in all good
millinery
In Fig. a soft hat is shown, which Is
made of velveteen or other substantial
fabrics, has no frame or wires and
belongs to that order of millinery
which is coming to be known as 'the
suit case hat" 1t is becoming popular
to make such hats of the same fabric
as the coat. The hat shown is made
of corduroy, the brim stiffened with an
interlining and machine stitched. 1t
is as practical as the good old-fash-
Toned sunbonnet and occupies the
same place In the winter wardrobe as
it's prototype does in that of summer.
Since women are no longer satisfied
with one or two hats, 1t would be
wisdom for them to select the smart
stable styles and wear them several
seasons by way OF change from th@r
new hats. For every woman wants
new hat; it is one Of her dependable
inspirations.

A FEW WORDS TO BALL

IN KINDNESS
Written for The Evening Journal
By James I. CrOzler.

Now please let me give advice
To some boys whom l think nice,
And ! hope they will not take Of
fence at all,
For I wish them to succeed,
most surely do. indeed.
And I do SO hope they will play
winning ball
When you reach the baseball ground
Then just cast your eyes around,
Have a peasant smile, and nod to
all your friends.
Then just enter with a vim.
Do your best the game to win.
And if winners we1l be happy when
1t ends.
When it comes your turn to bat
Just remember where you're at
And let the folks all see you have
the sand.
Knock the cover off the ball,
Make no goo-goo eyes at all
At some girl who may be sitting in
the stand.
II you make a three-b base hit
All the fans viii say you're It
And they love 10 cheer a man who
helps the game.
When they clap Tor what you did
Don forget to lift your lid
For the happy crowd are looking
for the same.
II the umpire calls a strike,
Dent you look like Ugly Mike,
Although the thing is rather hard
to take;
For you know it was a ball,
And that should have been his call
So just think for you he made a bad
mistake.
Then be honest, firm. polite,
And don't run around az night,
For your sleep and health is every
thing you know
Get some practice every day,
If you can, for that's the way
For to keep your name up every
where you go.
Now, sirs, when you get your pay,
} Don { forget to lay away
A little, for some stormy day may
come.
You just try TO look ahead,
For some mouths that must be fed,
Then I know you'll have a happy

HANDICAP A
CITY BOOST
Visiting Shooters Left $4,000

$1,000 In TARGETS AND
SHELLS FOR THE TRAPS

While the Eastern Handicap shoot is a
memory Of the past, and will 60 down in
history as the largest and best subsidi-
airy trapshooting tournament ever held,
it is not too late for a little reflection
and discussion that will demonstrate the
value to any town of such an event, not
to our hotels alone, but TO the business
interests OF the city generally.
One Of the local shooters in close
touch with the situation, was requested
TO make an investigation, and his figures
make some very interesting reading.
1t is estimated that 25O visitors were
IN Wilmington for four days for the
shoot and their average hotel expense
was S5 per day each or total Of
$4,000. This is considered a very con
sewative estimate.
There were lls,OOO targets thrown
and a similar number of shells used dur
ing the live days the tournament was in
progress. The targets represons value
of $500 and the shells systematically
all OF which were purchased from several
local hardware dealers.
