THE hat worn at the much-tilted pose
! shown in the picture is not for
every one. 1t takes a woman whose
style is so finished and pronounced
that she can carry off this smart and
rakish angle without looking in the
least bold. But when the wearer is
equal to the emergency there Is no
getting away from the fact that she
has demonstrated that style is very
subtle thing. A means of expression,
it is to her, by which she conveys
something of herself to those who be-
hold her, even though they may
never speak to her
Many hats of all sorts of materials
have been turned out in this shape, or
shapes similar to it. They cover nearly
all of one side of the face and form
background against which the other
side is sharply silhouetted.
The hat pictured this left side is trim
trimmed with very full ruching of ma
line plated in tiny side plaits and sup
porting an outstanding fan of plated
maline. There is facing of black
velvet all about the underbrim. 1t

natural leghorn color with the deep
black of velvet is very fine. The

The trimming consists of fiat clus-
ter OF lovely pink roses shading to a
deep rose color at the heart of the
flowers. A half dozen half-blown roses
are circled round the base of jet
spike, which complete the garnishing
of a simple but striking effect of the
millinery artist.

satisfactory hats in this shape, are
those made of black high luster straws

substituting fruit or ornaments for
the flowers. There is something in
the brilliant black of lacquered or
high-luster silk surfaces that goes
with the pose for which this hat is
made. And as a background for a
well-modeled profile there is nothing
like black velvet. The side face is
set in relief like a tinted cameo.
But it is wise to consider whether
the style is suited to one, before in
dulging in it, So there is no harm in
reiterating that this hat is not for
every one. but for her who can carry

Tsunsdi came to see the wise medi-
cine men, he told them that the only
thing to do was to send some one up
to the house of the daughter Of the
sun to kill the sun when she stopped
there for dinner. And the wise medi-
cine men said they would do that
For a long time, the wise medicine
men talked about who would be best
to send, and finally they decided that
the copperhead snake and the spread
ing-adder snake ought to go, for they
would be sure to kill the sun if they
bit her.
So the copperhead and the spread
ing-adder went and hid themselves just
outside the door of the house Of the
daughter Of the sun while the sun was
inside eating dinner. But when the
sun stepped out, she was so red and
angry that the spreading-a ladder snake
was blinded ami all he could do was to
swell up and spit out yellow slime
just as he does to this day when he is
stirred And when the copperhead
saw that the spreading-adder couldn't
do anything, he ran away.
Then the wise medicine men had to
come together again and find another
messenger to send up to the house of
the daughter Of the sun. This time
it was the rattlesnake who went, and
he coiled down right beside the door,
with his eyes closed. And when he
heard some one coming out of the
house he sprang like flash of light.
ming and struck
But it was the daughter Of the sun
who had come out, and SO it was she
who was killed. AS soon as he had
struck, the rattlesnake came back to
man and said that he had done his
work
At first, the people did not know
that the rattlesnake had killed the
daughter Of the sun instead of the
sun herself, and so the people all
thanked the rattlesnake and said that
they would never harm him. And so
to this day men who know will not dis
turb the rattlesnake, and the rattle
snake does not bite man unless he is
bothered.

NOT LACKING IN SHREWDNESS
IGNORANT Moro Ruler Quick-Witted
Enough to Devise Clever Scheme
to "Save His Face"

The Moro lords of the Island OF
Mindanao in the Philippines-they
are called datos-although nearer saw
ages than barbarians, do not want ma
tive wit and shrewdness. young
lieutenant who has seen service there
tells the following incident, which
shows how clever one Of them was
In concealing his ignorance:
Some of the retainers of old Dato
Mundi, who lorded 1t over a few hun
dred fuzzy-headed, bolo-chopping ma
tives in the Mindanao hills back Of
one of the army stations, sneaked
down one dark night and stole half a
dozen cavalry horses from the corral.
The commanding colonel. much in
censed at the theft, had some native
crackers trail the horses to the very
Village where the old dato held his
primitive court. Forthwith he sent
the young lieutenant, with a formid-
able escort Of khaki-clad troopers, to
bear a letter to the dato that demand
ed instant restitution of the horses
under penalty of immediate war. A
half-breed interpreter went along with
the party.
The lieutenant found the dato, who
had word Of his coming, seated In sol
emn state. He wore gown Of angry
turkey-red calico, while scores of
cockatoo feathers bristled in his wool
Heavy rings cleaned on his fingers
and toes. Around him were ranked a
score of his warriors.
The interpreter translated the let
ter. The dato, who could not read or
write a word in any language, took
the sheet from his hand and gazed
long and frowningly upon it.
WELL" said the lieutenant growing
restless, for he was fully aware Of
the Moro's complete lack Of educa-
ton, TASK him what his answer is"
The interpreter translated this;
whereupon the dato seized a piece Of
charcoal from the open fire and, max
ing a number of marks upon the back
of the letter, returned 1t to the lieu
tenant In solemn silence, while his
warriors looked on, struck with ad-
miration at their leaders learning.
The lieutenant gazed at the mean
ingless hen tracks" that the dato had
scrawled across the page, and frowned
in disgust Tell him." he cried, i'm
patiently, to the Interpreter, that 1
want to know Just what this means;
whether we get the horses, or whether
it's war!"
AS the hot words were translated to
him, the old dato snatched the letter
from the lieutenant's hand and, seiz-
ing a twig that was burned at one
end to live coal, he swiftly punched
three holes through the sheet. Then
he handed 1t back to the officer, drew
himself to his full height, and haugh-
tily acclaimed something in his native
tongue, while his warriors bowed to
the ground In awe.
He says" translated the interpre-
ter with smile, that he thought
every warrior knew that when one
ruler answers another rulers letter
by writing on the back of it, 1t means
war; and when he burns three holes
through 1t, it means war twice.
