Cottages.

Cottage accommodation" in the
sense in which Mr.. Runchiman's bill
deals with it. is a phase that would
hardly be understood In the United
States. Professors Greenough and
Kittredge of Harvard, in their book
on the ways of English words, points
out that cottage" in the strict sense
of laborers dwelling, has never been
adopted into popular American use,
because America has never really had
the thing. The word over there has
always had literary and sentimental
associations, and finally has come to
be used for the most magnificent sum-
mer residences. This has gone much
farther than the use of the word in
England to mean villa. In Amer
lea "cottager' definitely signifies
person who is above staying at a
boarding house or hotel, and has his
own summer home.-London Chroni-

"HAs QUIT GOOD AND HARD"

In the Saturday Evening Post, Will
lam Allen White recently outlined in
Enthusiastically virile fashion the
situation in Kansas
The wet and dry issue now rarely
comes into a political contest in Kan
sas. Formerly, in the days of the
SOS, the suspicion that a man con-
sorted with the temperance advocates
handicapped candidate. Now even
the faint suspicion that man has
friend who drinks or brother-in-law
who is married to the third cousin of
man who kept a drug store in the COS
is load that few men in politics can
carry successfully. Amy man who
wants to win makes votes by abusing
the liquor traffic 1t is as safe po-
litical diversion as lighting into the
Turks, and infinitely safer in Kansas
than going after Wall street, for the
great red dragon has some friends, but
no one defends the rum fiend. He is
paralyzed beyond recovery"
Kansas has quit good and hard" is
the way Mr.. White summarizes it.

HATS IN MANY SHAPES
SHOULD BE EASY TO FIND ONE
THAT is SUITABLE.
coIors Are Usually Employed for
Sporting Wear-NotabIe 5ergere
Effects Have Caught the
Fancy of the Parsienne.

For sporting wear colored hats are
lovely. One was in pale raspberry
pink felt, and the ribbon around the
crown was in exactly the same shade.
Then there was a large buckle in dull
blue horn. Such a hat as this seems
to call for a floating veil in white
washing lace.
The Parisiennes. at last accounts,
were quite enthusiastic over the small
er sailor shapes in white, pale blue
or pale pink felt
These smart shapes fit down on the
head after the manner of a mans hat,
and they can be trimmed with a band
of wide ribbon or with a single rose
placed fiat on the brim, near the front.
Some milliners, and very many OF
our Photographic beauties, have exag-
gerated the bergere outline. We have
had models which were raised at the
back over dozens of roses or vol
luminous loops of ribbon. These hats
made the head look grotesque and ex-
aggerated, and so they came to be re-
garded with suspicion.
But one of the most important and
influential milliners in the Rue de la
Paix was an enthusiastic admirer Of
the Louis XVI period, and she has
created some notable bergere hats
which were received with rapture by
the more exclusive Parisiennes.
One of these models is of black
Hnrifh NJ in,
blue, combined with dull red roses.
This gives excellent results, or it
might show black velvet ribbon with
a single pastel-pink rose. These hats
demand that the hair should be
dressed high and rather loose at the
sides.
Several smart hats are distinctly
lampshade in design.
These hats have domed cro-vn Gov
cred with velvet or satin, and trans
parent brims made of tulle, chiffon or
shadow lace. One model chosen had
a dainty little wreath of dull gold
roses, framed in silk leaves, circling
the crown, and the wide brim turned
pack very slightly from the face
In the same atelier a similar shape
was carried out in midnight-bue chit
fon velvet and shot gauze, which
shows seams of deep blue, silver and
very dark purple. The crown of the
hat was circled by a narrow band of
skunk, and at one side there was a
large black satin iris which had it's
metals lined with silver game
The charm and popularity of fiat
brimmed sailor hats covered with
black velvet are unquestioned. These
may be said to be the clou of the sea-
son. Many of these models are I'M
trimmed save for folded bard round
the crown or fancy feather; others
have a length of black taffeta ribbon,
with a picot edge, twisted round the
crown and tied loosely at one side.

DICTATES OF FASHION

The high hairdressing has made
fashionable many beautiful combs and
pins.
Stif1y starched linen collars of the
outstanding variety are considered
smart.
Plaids and checks of many sorts are
in favor, especially for coates and
vests.
Some of the new tulle and batiste
lingerie gowns have foundation skirts
which suggest Turkish trousers.
Some of the velvet street costumes
have extremely long coats, reaching
nearly to the hem of the gown.
On navy and black utility coats col
lars of changeable taffeta or broad
stripes are used to give little color.
Printed wolfe appears in so many de-
signs and the combination of colors is
so alluring every woman will surely
want a blouse of this material.
The latest blouses are extremely
simple in line. Tucks, bands of in
sertion, frills and rows of hemstitch-
ing are the varieties of trimming most
favored
Shirt waists of white organdie, to
which are attached mems waistcoats
of white pque, with pockets at the
waist line and fiat silver buttons, are
novelty that deserves attention.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1914-11-06
The MANLY" Waist.

Sport shirts for tennis and golf wear
during autumn weeks are exceedingly
mannish in cut In fact they have
even masculine shirt-tails, to be
tucked out of sight, of course, beneath
the shirt-band and the sleeves are
finished with link cuffs which may be
rolled back on the arm during the
game These shirts are beautifully
tailored and finished and are of white
tub silk or of finely striped pussy
willow silk, not sheer enough to show
through since transparent effect
would entirely destroy the tailored,
mannish suggestion.

BEER MOST ANIMALIzlNe.

The following utterance concerning
the effects of beer upon the physical
and moral nature has been made by
the New York officers of the Home
Life Insurance company:
"Of all intoxicating drinks, it is the
most animalizing 1t dulls the in
tellectual and moral, and feeds the
sensual and beastly nature. Beyond
all other drinks, it qualities for DELHI
crate and unprovoked crime. In this
respect it is much worse than dis
titled liquors A whisky drinker will
commit murder only under the di-
rect excitement of liquor, beer
drinker is capable of doing it in cold
blood. Long observation has assured
us that a large proportion of muir
ders deliberately planned and exc
cuted without passion or malice, with
no other motive than the acquisition
of property or money often of trifiing
value, are perpetrated by beer drink
ers."

Anecdotes.

Speaking of humorists brings us to
the fact that no man living can look
quite so solemn when producing hui
more as Irwin S. Cobb the well known
comedian of the Saturday Evening
Post. When Cobb was on the staff
of one of the big New York newspa-
pers he did various news assignments,
some of them mighty serious and 9TH
ers that gave him a chance for COM
edy. 1t was a. standing joke about
the office that anybody could look at
Cobb as he bent over his typewriter
and tell which kind of yarn he was
writing. If his face was all wrinkled
up with solemnity like bloodhound's,
with sad look about the eyes such
as one rarely sees except in an under
takers hostler, Cobb was preparing
something that would make hosts of
people laugh.

BOOZE AND BUSINESS.


During the last six months l have

Hubbard in a recent number of The
Philistine. Sixteen of these were
dry and Is were semi-arid." At a
banquet given by the Fitchburg board
of trade, 500 men present, instead of
booze there was multiplicity of ap-
pies. The whole apple atmos-
phere was orderly, systematic, kind
ly, good natured and charged with the
actinic ray of individuality. With all
of it, there was plenty of laughter
A man who can not laugh unless he
is in the hands of John Barleycorn, is
not much Of a man, after an
Speaking of another commercial
club he says, No one would think Of
putting anything into his mouth to
steal away his brains while attending
the Greater Dayton association meet
ings"
And further: THE AID Clubs have
very sensibly set themselves against
j. Barleycorn. The ad clubs stand
for business efficiency. And the idea
is pretty thoroughly circulated among
ad men that booze and business do
not blend. One thing my banquet
ing experience has worked out in my
convolutions, and that is this: 1t IS an
absolute fallacy to suppose that
large number of men can not get to-
gether and indulge in flow of soul
without flow of bowl. There is moth
Ing between booze and business that
forms bond. The two are much bet
ter separated. Therefore, it seems to
me superfuity for any board of
trade or chamber of commerce to ever
allow Colonel Barleycorn a place at
their boards. Business stands for hui
man betterment. All of which is here
presented with malice towards none,
and charity for all"
