Look Like

1t is the better part of valor to
possess at least one black hat, for you
will notice the pendulum of fashion
regularly swings back to the inevitable
black hat. The dark color tones are
best liked for daytime hats. Onyx,
citron. amythest, gendarme blue, taupe,
Russian green, maxixe, tete de negre
are shown in a good proportion of the
imported models. Wings, quilts and
fancy ostrich in every shape and form
are used in eccentric ways.
A small hat with high indented crown
had stubby little shaded quilts placed
every which-way around the crown. Di-
rectly in front and back were tailored
bows of faille ribbon. If one is fortu-
nate enough to possess Paradise aig-
rettes it is we'll to know that they are
often made up in snake-like effects or
shoot outward around the crown.
Narrow velvet ribbons and wide silk
ribbons, preferably faille, in dashing
loops, are always safe trimming. A
bit of turquoise ribbon gives gay finish
to some of the hats.
Feathers, which have long reigned SUI
preme in the wintry months, have had
to share their kingdom with silk and
velvet flowers. The blossoms that bloom
in the millinery flower field are both
large and small.

A purple hat had large velvet two
toned poppies topping the crown.
Nesting here and there were little bows
of velvet ribbon. The brim of this hat
hared suddenly at each side and was
singularly becoming
A green hat, which could hardly have
been much smaller, had small flowers
circling the crown. Rising from the
crown were three uncurled plumes,
placed each at different angle, the tips
crossing each other.
The secret of the successful hats
seems to be that the garniture should
look as if it was about to fall off, and
was not fastened securely.
A shell shaped hat, tilted to the front
by means of a bandeau covered with
loops of narrow velvet ribbon, had the
crown covered completely with tiny tips
in different shades of brown.
A soft turban shape of MORE was
trimmed with three burnt ostrich fcath-
ers, one at each side and one directly at
the back, curving outward. The brim
was faced with corded velvet.
A pom pom of ravelled taffeta was
placed directly in the center front of a
small hat and kept in place by a large
jet ornament.

ENGLAND GOES AFTER
TRADE OF GERMANY
Hopes to Cripple Kaiser's
Country and Austria by
Market Invasion.

Germanys vast world trade Is one
of the prizes of war which England is
trying to capture. While Great Brit
aims army is fighting the Prussian
military advance in Belgium and the
British fleet is opposing the Kaiser's
warships in the North Sea and with
Germany's commerce swept from the
oceans, those remaining behind In
England are initiating a movement of
greater importance to capture the Ger
man and Austrian trade by invading
the world markets to procure for
Great Britain great increase Of the
earth's commerce.
The vastness of Germany's exports
demonstrates the opportunity which is
at hand and suggests the possibility
that the United States too, may profit
commercially, by the great war. 1t is
obvious that German commerce will
be paralyzed for many months. posi-
bly, for years during which time the
far reaching requirements of the
whole world, hitherto largely met by
Germany and Austria, must still be
met If the worlds wants heretofore
filed by Germany and Austria are no
longer filled the work must be done
by others. England is already after
Qer snare. Inc united states, 100,
probably has an eye on the situation.
The British movement to capture
Germany's trade is being taken up
with great vigor and the British gov
eminent is giving its full official sup
port. The Board of Trade, which in
England is a government department,
is doing everything possible, while the
colonial office is gathering all availa-
BILE information from the dominions,
as to the character of all previous
German imports. The Chamber of
Commerce, at the same time is ar
ranging meetings between the manu-
facturers and erstwhile importers of
German products.
Another spur to the British amb1-
ton to capture German trade is the
fact that war is causing a loss to
the English market from Central Eu-
rope and this deficit must be made up
elsewhere. The most likely places are
those where Germany and Austria for
merly predominated.
When England, shortly after the
start of the war, began to investigate
the situation, figures were produced

which heretofore had boon held up
the world over to predoninaae IN tnae
line.
The government and the business
men are now entertaining the idea
that Great Britain's loss Of trade In
Central Europe due to the war can
more than be compensated by inva-
sions elsewhere, by capturing world
trade heretofore held by Germany.
They are even discussing the posi-
bility of England taking over the Ger
man trade with America, amounting
to $17O,O00,0OO annually.
Another thing that 10 being empha-
sized is England's opportunity in Chi
ma, particularly Kiauchau, which has
the distinction of being Germany's
greatest colonial commercial center.
The German toy trade, on which it
has had almost monopoly. Is another
field which England certainly will in
wade. 1t runs into many millions. Eng

Another hat with an irregular outline
had a soft high tam O shanter crown
with spreading ornaments of Paradise
wreathed around it. Across the front
was soft silk bow joining the separat-
ing groups of aigrettes. That hat was
tilted nearly over the right eve, and
showed a close relationship to the high
head dress.
YELLING.
A veil for every hat seems to be
absolutely necessary, and those accus-
toned to wearing wells will welcome the
new circular wells, which are really tri-
angles with one angle curved. Many of
these are of hexagon mesh with deep
border. There is such a demand for
border wells that double border wells
have been manufactured with differ
ent pattern on each edge, so one veil
can be worn in different ways. There
are hosts of chenille dotted wells to
choose from. Wells with hand run
floral or scroll designs continue popular.
Beauty patch wells are exceedingly
smart. Those in quest for novelties will
like the flct wells with large mesh
squares either plain or velvet spotted.
Black wells and dainty sheer effects are
the most staple, but wells in colors
matching the hats are in good taste.

In choosing your hat scrutinize it from
every angle and try it on while stand
ing SO as to get good view of tout
ensemble" The deft fingers of the
home milliner will readily find a way in
trimming the hats so that they will
defy criticism if the correct shape is
chosen, for scarcely any trimming is
needed to complete the desired effect
Hats, with a masculine penchant,
have gained secured position, but
their fen1ininity is evinced by means
of the trimming The hats with mar
row brims and high crowns are much
like a mans high top hat.
One of these hats was trimmed with
a cluster of II black wings at the CEN
ter of the crown, while another had a
tall fan shaped arrangement of narrow
pleatings of MORE silk ribbon. Some
of the small hats are minus brims, while
others are she'll shaped. Straight brims
with slanted crowns and toque effects
are also worn. The sailor shape is really
a sailor in name only, for it has taken
unto itself such sprightly FORMS Hats
which hug the head closely with small
rolling brim and high crown suggest
practical usefulness.
Tailored models of wide plaid Her

Verify, one must be strong minded
to resist the temptation of purchasing
one or more of the new Fall chapeaux.
There is such a multiplicity of cleverly
designed shapes and it is astonishing
that they are generally becoming to the
majority of women.
Simplicity plus elegance describes the
new hats The shape counts first-the
trimmings next, and the pose third.
A-plenty of the hats bear a close rela-
tionship to their Summer cousins, but
the way the hats are worn gives them
an entirely different aspect. Either they
are pertly listed from the back by
means of a bandeau or attain a saucy
coquettishness by being tilted side-wise
over the right eye. Never, under any
circumstances. do they sit demurely on
the head.

no longer saddled with the con-
seriousness of their handicap. Miss
Schott will mot let the circum-

As near as is possible to estimate,
there are twenty foundlings or more

number, in the opinion of Miss
Schott, is just twenty too many.
To her il is almost inconceivable that
the babies should be deserted. and
the rapidity with which her found

strengthens her contention. There
are actually not enough babies to
supply the demand for adoption.

the old way of treating the children
as near alike as possible, both as to
the dress and administration to their
physical and mental wants, Miss
Schott sees that the personality of
each little boy and girl is given a
chance to develop. They dress diff

and are christened.
