SHE SWAPS

r;oS IGnr

New York Sun.
Although announcements were out
for the marriage OF Miss Mary Agnes
Golden, OF Jersey City, TO Charles F..
Kaercher at the Church Of the Sacred
Heart on THANKSGIVING eve the pros
pectivc bride surprised her friends as
well as the eXpectant bridegroom by
secretly marrying another man, her
first love. The marriage TO John Mo-
ran took place Saturday night at the
same church, the Rev. Father MacEr-
lin officiating, but the public did not
hear Of that ceremony until yesterday.
Miss Golden, or rather Mrs. Moran,
and Moran were school chums. Fol-
lowing a falling out with Moran, Miss
Golden became engaged to Kaercher.
Moran received an invitation to the
wedding, and Immediately called upon
his former fiancee. A week ago YES
terday Miss Golden told her mother.
Mrs. A. 3. Tanning, that she did not
believe she wculd marry kaercher af-
ter all.
After their marriage by Father Mac
Erlain, the same priest who had been
selected for the Thanksgiving we'd

NOMAN'S HAT MILLINERY

Rate Question Involves Designation

When is a WOman'S hat1

Washington Star.
When is q m hat?
THAI and other questions OF Wo-
mems headgear has been put clearly
up to the interstate commerce coln.
mission, trained to deal with rates on
freight and passengers, and equip
ment OF railroads from safety signals
to locomotive boilers.
They've just got to settle the ques-
ton as to when a woman's hat is
such and when it is not. To help
along the decision the com%plainants
have delved deeply into the orignition
Of millinery, going back almost as
far as the stone ages, and have served
their studies on the commission III
the hope that that body would see the
right their way.
It all came about because the rates
on mems and boys hats from the At
lantic to h Pacific coast were cheap
er than the rates on WoInen's untrinl.
med hats, or millinery. That is the
word that caused the trouble in the
tariffs. II it's millinery then it must
pay more, because milady's hat mus.
cost more or it don't just look right.
They are all packed h same way ex.
cept the trimmed hats, and they do
not come up in this argument.
A number OF nilliners OF the Pact
fic q nave banded together and
have cited a number Of railroads
IN ol1SSOiltl1ICIlld
TO explain the differences in their
tariffs.
In the complaint filed with the COM.
mission it is pointed out that a mil.
liner may be a mar as we'll as a WON
an. Then the complaint also points
out that the carriers cannot rightly
d~liferentIate between hats because OF
either sex. The compliments go 50
far as to say that nowadays it is many
times difficult to tell the mans hat
from the Wolnan's hat, particularly in
the panamas. And again, you can't
call hats millinery nowadays, because.
millinery is made by q milliner, and
Womens hats are made BY machin-
cry.
Our contention is" says the COM
plalnants, "that millinery is the re.
suit or the work of a 1nilliner; tina
Womens untrimmed hats are the re-
suit Of machinery and therefore not
millinery.

The dark curtain Of night Will roll

close such scenes as time and the
world and humanity have never wit
messed before. Louvain in ruins, all
those peaceful villages through the
north of France, where men worked
and children played, all, all in ia mes

Let the "Reminiscences be slivered in

lift their heads and fight on. But all
men fight hopelessly, with the grim
ness Of despair. In Paris, the capital

is not so much for these that we in

1t is for the sake Of the children that
we may turn with the hopelessness OF

ed by the aid OF money pow-woWs and
and much objection against any n
vation-I finally abandoned thought
of innovations, because | found they
not help, but hurt, the ultimate
results Indian, through and through
just as every actor and actress IN the
drama is.
1T was selected out OF many Of the
Indian play legends because it is espe-
cially we'll calculated TO give the pub
lie q true insight into the life n
habits, loves and hates, peace and
warfares, crimes and religions of one
Of the largest groups of actually prt-
mitive Indians remaining ON the con-
tinent.
The Indians life. no matter Of
what tribe he may be or where his
habitat, is a red blooded life and
therefore mine is a red biooded pic
ture story. | tried to give ii its ma
jestic high lights of the Indians ma
tural dignity, quite as | tried to give
il its low lights Of Indian harbarism.
THE story, l think, is tense and
therefore appealing to all story lovers
and I arm sure hat it is faithful in
its representation of indian life. No
sacrifices We're made to the trickery OF
the story teller-none was needed.
Although [ collected the incidents
aud, to some extent, strung them into
a narrative, they al AVE historic
basis and every one is depicted by
Indians in their own way. 1t is in
tereSting to note here thai I found it
impossible to get Indian actors to
represent by action anything which
they did not believe had occurred at
some time, and that it was impossible
successfully ever to suggest to Their
methods Of expressing emotion which
are not part Of their daily life. The
spectator, for example, will find g
good deal Of lettering up and down
-kneeWork-among my actors. Al
first l tried to stop it, for it seemed
unnatural. Then l found that while
the white man rarely does it, it is E
characteristic Indian trick. 1t is {
