WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIMES
Man Who introduced the Now Popular
Tango Into New York Was
Chased From City.

It's great stuff to be a pioneer"
says Sweeney. THE best you get Is
to be shot full of arrows"
Meaning that Sweeney brought the
turkey trot to New York seven or
eight years ago. At that time the town
was hardly ripe for it. So that Swee-
ney's dance hall had about all the de-
lenses of battleship. One got in by
presenting card which certified that
the bearer was a regular member of
club with nice Indian name. Two or
three times the police tried to raid 1t.
Then there were battles all over the
street, while the patrons were slipped
to safety by subterranean routes. 1t
was his boast then that he did not
pay license to the city or graft to the
police. The upper circles used to visit
Sweeney's when out stunning. 1t was
a poor night when one failed to bounce
bottle off some other ones resilient
bean. Sweeney himself had a pretty
rick of knife throwing.
"They closed me like book" said
Sweeney. "Said that the dancing in
my place was little too gritty. Nor
alists said that the contiguous wiggle
as practiced at Sweeney's would jar
the susceptibilities of Piute. But |
give you my word that if anyone had
pulled any Of the physical fox passes
in my place that you can see in the
middle aisle of any restaurant nova
days you could a heard me boiler on

outlined near the edge with a line
of jet spangles. A beautiful coronet
of jet extends about the brim, rising
to point at the front. Small bows
of black velvet ribbon are poised at
placed in this position, instead Of
bows. They are made of little, fine
flowers or little fruits.
Quite the reverse of high, one of the
small close-itting caps of straw braid
is shown with a band of jet about the
edge. Nothing could be simpler in
shape. 1t is trimmed with jet orna-
ments, one at each side, consisting OF
fiat cabochon into which a spike OF
jet is apparently thrust In spite of
its simple shape and construction, this
model is smart and almost startlingly
novel
There is no doubling the favor witE
which these hats of jet have been re
ceived by those who are the first to
buy spring millinery. They will be
worn during the whole season, but,
as no one is content to own but one
hat, after holding the center of the
stage for a while, they will be rele-
gated to second place, with flower and
ribbon-trimmed millinery taking pre-
cedence
A black hat should always be among
the belongings of the well-dressed
woman, for there are times when it
is needed and nothing else will do
quite as we'll

THE great variety in hats made of
i jet combined with other materials,
gives reason to think that the jet
trimmed hat is destined to usher in
the spring and remain throughout the
summer. Already hats made of jet
and maine, or jet and lace, with a
touch of velvet in their composition,
have appeared, and, while appropriate
for present wear, they are airy
enough for summer. The jet hat does
not belong to one season but to all
of them. 1t is a good investment in
millinery.
Many of the new hats are quite
high. The shapes themselves are
moderate in height, but the trimming
gives the effect of very high crowns.
This phase of the new styles is liked
for the combination 81 Jet with ma
line or lace. Two hats of this kind
are shown here, both of the prettiest
of the latest models.
In one of them a turban shape is
developed with band of jet covering
the brim and a soft puffed crown of
maline. Over and around this crown
there is a standing ruffle of maline
(doubled) supported by fine wires.
No other trimming is used Such a
hat is useful at any season. Thanks
to the recent discoveries of manufac-
turers, the maline is not as fragile as
it looks. 1t has been made water
proof The jet is one of the few mil
linery materials that have lasting
qualities.
The model of jet and lace is also a
turban shape. 1t is somewhat elongat-
ed and has a soft crown of silk and

First Woman chIoroformed.

The death of Mrs. Agnes Thomson,
the first woman to inhale chloroform
occurred recently at Streatham, al
the age of eighty-three.
She was a niece of Sir J. Y. Simp-
sons wife, and, with her father, Com.
mander Petrie, was present at SO
Queen. street, Edinburgh, on the
eventful night, November 4, 1S47
when the great discovery was made
of the use of chloroform by Sir James
(then Professor) Simpson.
On that occasion, after Sir James
and his assistants had recovered from
the effects of the experimental doses
upon themselves, Miss Petrie came
forward to be experimental upon, and
proved a most happy subject under
the influence of the drug, as when fall
ing asleep she made the remark: 81

are you all down there?"

length to make it. 1t is a touch of
gorgeousness meant to brighten up
and lend lustre to the quiet garb.
If one owns coat suit of Q good vel
veteen or satin or, any other of the
popular suit fabrics, the separate vest
and girdle will tone it up to fit the
most exacting of occasions. For the
afternoon tendance, the matinee, the
formal call, the club reception, in
fact, for functions to which one wears
hat, the little brilliant vest and the
smart girdle make the suit impress
sive.
1t is a happy idea to have a bit OF
the same coloring in the hat worn with
these chic accessories. The small black
velvet hat has made opportunities for
the addition of trimming to har-
monize with colors worn in the cos
tune. Crowns covered smoothly with
the same rich and snowy fabrics that
are used for making vests, will be
found effective.

ed with handsome cut steel, jet or
rhinestone buttons. Jet and rhine

stone combined are in great favor just
now. They are the last word in the
matter of brilliance and look well on
any color or mixture of colors.
Besides the little vest there is the
girdle of brilliant silk ribbon or
piece goods, and the specially good
wide velvet ribbon. Plaids and Ro-
man stripes in such fascinative color
combinations that one instantly falls
in love with them, furnish many of the
girdies. Brocades are liked, but to
be worn at the same time as a bril-
liant vest, the girdle of plain velvet
ribbon furnishes about the best
choice.
These girdles appear to be adjusted
loosely about the figure and extend
somewhat below the waist line. But
think not that this is easily or care
lessly done. They are carefully placed,
the wearer adjusting them in front of
her mirror and pinning them with the
smallest of tiny safety pins on the
under side. The pins do not show, of
course. The girdles, If of ribbon,
are nearly always crushed bit. The
effort these days is not to make the
waist look trim" and small, but to
suggest ease and freedom.
The effect of handsome, harmoni-
Gus girdle in toning up a gown can
hardly be overestimated. THAT girdle
makes the gown" is comment one is
apt to hear when a successful girdle
lifts an ordinary gown to it's own ele-
CANT level.
