S About 800 children of the third. fourth, fifth and sixth grades, Of Grand and Columbus schools. accom- panied by their teachers, were gather ed yesterday afternoon in The Pastime theatre on Main street to see the Rev oIutionary war reto1d in pictures. Miss Euphrosyne Bown, the principal of these schools, explained each of the pictures to the children
 The series of pictures, which were very clear and Interesting, started with the early causes of the war. The chill dren were delighted to see the seBos- ton Tea Party. :" the always inspiring incidents of Paul Revere's Ride and the numerous other events of the war. 8 WI hen the picture Of "Old G1ory,s was thrown upon the screen, the sa- 5lute to the az was given standing and one verse of The Star Spang1ed Ban 5ner' sung softly.
 This unusual irlstits.tion by Miss Bown was second in a series which she has been giving this week.

MILLINERY FOR THE

U: STOUT WOMAN.
 The short woman. of average build should adopt and stick to smart little turbansl trinnned with upstanding the sentimental shapes as now worn, and the hat with a fairly marrow brir1, rolling little of1 either side after the style known as the English walking, hat
 Short women, who in their youth have been known as the baby-f faced type twill look we'll in the draped tarbans trimmed with ostrich tips, also the fashionable pompom. The model now in style displaying a high drapery on the left side will be be- coming and so will the upstanding fri1 of net. Any amount of sympa- thy is due the short, stout, elderly wo- becauge so many points must be borne in mind if 1t is9to be a success. It must got be too large or she loses height, and 1t must not be too small or. the plump face beneath will change is a positively fat one.
 should advise this type to try a broad, generous ttlrban. the trim ming arranged high in eonforulity with present fashions; also, as sec ond choice, a hat showing a narro " front brirn.s the sides fairly wide.
 Trimming.
 When it comes to the question of trimming materials there is quite as much Variety as there is in shapes, each fabric or ornament being adapt- : ed to suit individual needs
 Flowers are always pretty for sum .Iner hats. but even these must be cho- sen with dfscretion,s not only in re- gard to color, but also to form The n1afden having round shaped eyes, arched with brows following the er<4, f~-< mouth should not exaggerate these feature pr etfy as they may be-by trimming her hat with decorations aI- SC round in shape, as rosettes, round cabucf ons. yellow daisies centered with brown like the flowers known a, Fhat she needs are angular lines. as, for instances q pert looking stick fups an upstand1ng bow or loops, Of ribbon drawn through a long buckle. Roses, when eused at all, should be combined with it's foliage
 Small flowers, as sweet peas, for Iget-m e-nots and blnets, will be Charming if arranged In sprays. or. inss fact any arrangement that will modify the roundness Of the features.
 For the girl whose face is thin and long there is npthtngs better than os- trich p1umes and fancies The lat ter. put on as an edge to the brif1. are always becornfng to this type. The pIuInes may droop over the brirfl. wave over the back, or nod in the front, as one p1eaaes
 CoIors
 Of coIorss it is, of course; only 4,os- sibIe to speak in a general way. Some authorities claim that the hat should match the hair. This may be all right in theory, but how often can it be put into practice2 Oftener to-
 
 men are going to dye their hair all scolors of the rainbow But, speak ing seriously. millinery shades seldom closely follow nature. So better a good contrast than a bad match I like the yellow straws on golden hair

THEN and NOW


 Seventy six years ago to-day the first vessel to cross the At lantic all the way under steam arrived in New York harbor, at 10 o'clock at night. It was the Sirius, coastwise steamer chartered from an English company by Junids Smith, a Connecticut Yankee, to beat out another British vessel, the Great Western, for the glory of being the first real transat- lantic steamship The Great Western, which had left Eu- rope three days later, arrived in New York only a few hours behind the Sirius. The Sayan- nah had crossed the Atlantic nineteen years before but she had used steam only during three days of the voyage. The Sirius made the trip from Cork, Ireland, in eighteen days, making the last of her historic run by burning her extra spars and forty three barrels of res in A great crowd gathered at Jones wharf to celebrate the arrival and huge bonfires were built along the waterfront to light up the boat.
