ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN
WAR SITUATION.

Honors Of the week belong to Ger.
many. The kaiser's forces have shut
a large part Of the Belgian army in
Antwerp, have captured Brussels and
have practically driven the French
out Of Lorraine.
The Belgian operations have been
conducted behind the censor's curtain,
80 that we do not know how severely
the allies may have been handled. But
indications point to a consistent &C.
ries Of skiIIfuI retreats before the
German advance, within prearranged
lines. Since the Anglo-French-BeIgian
plan Of campaign did not contemplate
the retention Of Brussels, Germany's
victory cannot fairly be called the al
lies defeat.
About Dinant the severest Belgian
fighting Of the war has been raging
for week. There is no evidence of
victory for either side, but a drawn
engagement is really a German defeat,
since it prevents a German crossing

dennes woods and hills.

The French spent part Of the week
developing an imposing encircIinQ
movement in Lorraine, trying to drive
the Germans back toward Strassburg.
This was an offensive movement
containing possibilities Of much dan
ger, because Of the enormously strong
German Notifications in the area Of
operations. French troops gained
half a dozen towns after several days'
fighting, but the Germans suddenly
took the offensive themselves and the
French quickly retreated across the
boundary, gaining nothing by their
work.
In Southern AIsace, the military op-
erations cannot be satisfactory to the
French general staff, since the CON-
mander Of the operations about Null.
hansen has been superseded by Gen.
eral Pau, the one-armed popular hero
Of the battle of FrceschviIier, in the
Franco-Prussian war.
French and German forces at Null
hansen seem evenly matched. Neither
side is able to make a decisive i'm
preston on the other. This may be
an indication Of the way the entire
war eventually will conclude.

PILGRIMS TRAVEL In STYLE
PIous Mohammedans on Their Way to
Medina and Mecca Have Com
Portable Surroundings.

Until a few years ago the trip from
Damascus to the Moslem holy city of
Medina was a journey Of 50 to 40 days
duration. With the construction Of
the Hedjaz railway the journey from
Haifa or Damascus to Medina has
been reduced to SO hours" writes
Consul Edelman at Jerusalem. "As
it is enjoined upon Moslem pilgrims
to visit at least once In their lives the
cities Of Medina and Mecca, the route
now in use is the Hedjaz line to Me-
dina, return the same way, then en-
bark at Haifa or Beirut for Jedda on
the Red sea, the nearest port to
Mecca. The administration Of the
Hedjaz railway has entered into con-
tract with the Khedival mail line
steamers to have ships in waiting at
Beirut and Haifa for the trains from
Medina. Immediate embarkation is
possible and pilgrims lose no time in
their journey.

government to extend the Hedjaz rail

VI as old as she looks, and as young
as she feels,'' women past middle age,
in these days, choose hats to suit their
appearance. A careful choice Of mil
linery subtracts some years from the
wearer. But it is mistake to ex-
pect too much of hats in the matter
of lending youth to the face. Spe-
cialists in designing tax their ability
to the utmost to achieve millinery
which shall be rich and brilliant as
it should be for the woman of ma
ture years.
When the mistake is made of choos-
ing hat which has been designed for
young face, the older woman de-
feats her purpose and looks ridicu-
lous. BY giving time and careful con-
Bideration to her selection she will
be able to find something peculiarly
adapted to herself
The three hats illustrated here, al
though photographed on a youthful
model, are intended for elderly wom-
en-. They are moderately large and
fit comfortably on the head. The ex-
ampIes shown are in black velvet,

is worth while noting that black Is
far from being the best choice for
the woman of middle life. The pos
SCISSOR of fresh complexion and gray
or white hair looks particularly we'll
in black. For dark-skinned persons
strong blues prove to be most success
full. The only safe way to choose is
to experiment with shades and tones
of the different colors and select that
which harmonizes best with the eyes,
hair and complexion.
The face veil, which is better de-
scribed as complexion veil, is the
best friend of the elderly woman, as
a finishing touch to her millinery.
The great liking for gold and silver
cloth, jet and metallic effects In flow
ers which this season has developed
make 1t easy for the milliner to pro-
duce brilliant hats. The richest OF
brocades and the handsomest of plum
age belong to the Oldest women. In
the hands Of the expert specialist they
have been worked up into hats that
are the envy Of youth.
Among other shapes than those
shown here are some having fiat
brims. This gives an opportunity for
colored facings. Colored facings are
a point Of vantage that the older wom-
an must not lose sight of when she
elects to choose a black hat.

DIBBON departments are gay with
N every hue and tint and shade of
color under the sun and with all sorts
Of dainty accessories for womankind,
from babyhood to old age. There are
things purely ornamental and there
are things useful and ornamental.
The latter two qualities combined ara.
always successful, and experience
shows that we cherish love for the
things which are ornamental, whether
they are useful or not.
A lot of things have been designed
for the little infant. These include
armlets, that Is, little garters for the
sleeves, small rosettes, to be fastened
with the tiniest of safety pins to
babys dress, and splendid blanket
bows with which the robe or blanket
is decked out Beside these Turkish
ings for the little infant there are any
number of dainty furbelows made for
the tiny girl.
A blanket-bow is shown in the pic
ture, made of pink satin ribbon four
and one-half to five inches wide. 1t
consists of nine loops, each one
knotted at the top. Each loop is about
seven inches deep, after the knot is
tied. They are tackled together at the
center, where the ends are tied with
a single knot. One of the ends is cut
half the length of the other and both
are trimmed in a diagonal line.

narrow satin ribbon in either light pink
or blue. They make a very accept
able present for the mother of the
newly-arrived baby. The sleeves, in
the clothes for little infants, are cut
longer than the childs arm In order
to accommodate its rapid growth.
These little armlets hold the sleeves
up and add charming little decora-
ton to the baby's dress at the same
time. They are made by shirring rib
bon over fiat elastic bands and are
finished with full rosettes made of
knotted loops of the ribbon. The
loops are each an inch and a half
deep.
When the baby girl has grown old
enough to need something to hold her
hair in place, hair band like that
shown in the picture marks the be-
ginning of her use Of hair ribbons
This is made, like the armlet, of a
narrow satin ribbon. Ribbons an inch
or a little less in width answer the
purpose better than others.
For the hair band one must meas
ure the little ones head and make
circlet of fiat elastic, just long enough
to hold the hair in place. Half of this
