When the celebrated Hutchinson family
used to give their concerts sixty-fiye odd
years ago there was one verse added to
a favorite song that ran thus

These thirteen names belonged to the

the youngest of them all, who began her
career as a singer at the tender age Of
four. was probably the most dIstin
guished.
Abigail Hutchinson was born on August
%, 1879. in her fathers simple home IN
New Hampshire. At her birth her broth
ers and sisters had begun their profess
sional singing and before she could talk
she had every incentive to begin to sing.
AS a matter Of fact, she did sing as soon
as she could walk. and when only four
she had such a pleasing voice that people
used to come from many miles about the
Hutchinson home to listen to little Abby
sing. While her mother worked at the
spinning wheel little Abby sat at her
knee, lear ming the words of the songs
she was to sing.
At very early date Abby's voice prov
ed to be a remarkable natural alto. and
SO true was her ear that she could fo!-
low any air. making up a harmonious
alto part as she went along.

pictures Of the program at the VItagraph
Theater. New York City. No dramatic
film shown on Broadway has caused the
amount Of discussion and interest aroused
by Jacques F'utreIle's powerful story Of
theatrical life, The Painted World"
While stronger. dramatically, than the
usual screen story, II might be a page
from the life Of any one Of 100 women OF
a painted world as described by the WY

realism borders on the grevsome, 1t is

AUTUMN MODES.

News comes to US from Paris that the
seasons models have been so well re-
ceived that the early autumn styles will
show a resemblance to those of the sum-
mer.
Not that recent models are to be dupli-
Gated, but that the treatment Of the new
ones will show much the same feeling.
A gown that possesses some Of the best
features Of both is a toilette intended for
wear on days when the sun is hidden and
the air cooler.
The darkest of navy gabardine is used
for its fashioning, which shows novel
lines in the arrangement Of the long
tunic.
This is gagged around the hips, some OF
the gauging being hidden by the wide
swathed belt draped lower on one side
than the other.
The corsage fastens over with large pol
ished Jade buttons and the neck and
wrists are finished with removable collar
and cuffs of hemstitched lawn.

The Hutchinson family were celebrated
chiefly for their abolition songs, and were
heard at the great abolition meetings at
which Garrison and Wendell Phillips. the
great abolitionists. were heard. Some
times when a mob of opponents would
try to break up these meetings. and
would actually threaten TO do so. II was
Abby HutchInson's sweet voice rather
than Garrison's or Phillips oratory,
which would queu them. Sometimes the
child would face an angry mob, and by
her simple, sympathetic songs quiet
them.
Abby HUtchInson's public career closed
with her Snarriage to Ludlow Patton.
when she was twenty years old. After
that, though she never sang in public,
she wrote the music for many songs that

music for Tennyson's Ring Out, Wild

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1914.
According to astrology this is an un-
important day. Venus is in benefic aspect
early in the day. but later Uranus is
mildly adverse.
The planets favor the affairs and in
terests OF women. 1t is a fortunate day
for their business enterprises, but they
should guard against deception and fraud.
1t is lucky time for weddings, engage
ments and love affairs that begin under
this coufiguration.
Dinners and all entertainments at which
the finer sentiments are enlisted in con-
nection with mere social aims are subject
to a favorable influence.
Artists, actors and musicians Of every
rank should benefit from this rule. There
is a good omen for opera and concert
work. Seers predict a movement that will
reduce the price of tickets and enable
the poor to enjoy the best lyric dramas.
Milliners, modistes and all who deal
in the things that are made for the adorn-
ment Of women should prosper while this
government prevails. They are warned
that there will be a reaction against ex-
travagance in dress
Under this sway of the stars It Is
supposed to he easy to make collections
and to satisfy debts
While restaurants should profit because
OF the kindly way of Venus many will
fail, the seers declare, within the year.
There is a prophecy that dancing will
be superseded by q novel public amuse-
ment, at first startling and shocking.
Again trouble is foreshadowed for
Rome, in connection with unrest in Italy.
The Pope may be concerned by serious
problems Of the church.
Spain is under q rule OF the stars which
presages trouble before the autumn ends
Persons whose birthdate II is may be

THE NEW STYLE OF BELTS.

Do you know how to make the new
belts. People attend outings every day
in the summer and they all know 1t is
always a good idea to wear such cloth
ing as can be laundered with little
trouble upon the return. Sometimes
the older folks are worse than the
little ones. But, at any rate. the
thing to do is to prepare such things
that can be washed easily
These belts vary in width from 1--WE
10 eight inches. depending upon the
build Of person OF the wearer. The
slender woman can wear the vide
belts. but the matron, or large woman.
must wear them narrow. They are
all piped on the edges with either a
colored or white lawn. or some soft
material which will not shed the color.
The belt requires three inches more
than II takes to go about the waist.
which Is allowed as a margin for finish
and lap when the belt is completed. It
must be supported every six inches
with whalebone or heavy collar bone
TO keep II from dropping away from
the waist. The bone need only be fast
ened at each end and the fullness will
fan In naturally.
Cut on a strip OF the material the
same width as the girdle and hem and
pipe in the same way. Make q loop
ten inches long standing up and one
end ten inches long, making the bow
fifteen inches from top to bottom.
Sew this to the belt where II Is fast
ened and catch a plain piece Of the
goods over the stitches to form a soft
knot.
OF course, the cord must run around
the waist and up and down In the bow.
in order to have IL iron properly. Sew
on patent clasps very closely to avoid

ways good, is especially striking In these

Much velvet, plain and striped, Is
made up into hats, capes, separate coats
and even basques, in the shape of sweat
ers. which are worn over gowns of white
lace or white taffeta- Attractive capes

It is edged with tiny rubber flowers Of
