TRIMMING IS ORNATE
ELABORATE MILLINERY ONE OF
THE SEASONS FADS.
Smaller Hats Are Being Worn, But
Styles Show General Increase In
Helght-Sketches That Show
the Latest Modes.

In the new hats there is always q
marked tendency to carry up the
trimming very high. either by means
Of a tuft of feathers, which soar
straight up toward the sky like minia-
ture spires and steeples, or else
by ribbon or velvet drapery, which
takes the form of lofty wing at the
side.
Tall bows are cseverly draped and
wired to give never hint of wiring,
and these seem Unfortunately popular
as trimmings for drst-season hats.
All hats still incline to smallness,
though they tend to become higher In
proportion to their narrowness. Take.
for example, the two of the sketch.

had been forced to suppress the desire
sternly, and now In the garish light
of day it was still upon him. He took
seat beside her on the stone wall
where she tried to be comfortable as
she fished olives from a nearly empty
bottle, the remains of last nights
supper.

edge of his foolish desire, eff any one

Certainly not" said Henrietta
There would always be the years.

toward her, a moth flirting with the

draped over the outside Of the brim,
while the two loops, cunningly wired,
rise above the central knot.
No. 2 is youthful and becoming
model, known along the Riviera as
the Casino hat. The shape is seen
frequently with a crown of chiffon
over malines drawn into the bandeau
brim of velvet or satin. Several smart
copies have been developed in flow
cred and plain taffetas, like the one
represented.
An Alice blue taffeta, delicately
lowered with little clusters in dull
colorings, is used here for the pulled
crown. Taffeta is good for this pur-
pose, having sufficient body to stand
without dropping. The bandeau brim
is of black velvet, narrower in back
than in front, and there are long
black shaved quilts, topped with fat

Background for Gems.

Atilleul green makes the best back
ground for diamonds, excepting per-
haps black, and brocades that are
sewn with silver are more appropri-
ate to them than those that have gold.
A very effective background for en-
eralds when combined with diamonds
Is dove gray, while for rubies there is
no better setting than pale pink en-
bossed with silver, which throws into
relief the glowing brilliance of the
stones. Sapphires demand pale grays,
honey color or white to show them to
the best advantage; while opals ap-
pear to special advantage with rich
ombre colors, on white lace or with
pale green.

denied, that he loved Billy. He loved
her, not as he had loved other women,
not as careless, lazy tramp, taking
what offered, good, bad or worse. with
airy Indifference, but as the son of
his poor, virtuous mother and of his
gentle, reverend father would love and
cherish the one woman.
But who was he to love like that?
The past few years had branded him
as thing apart from Billy. A COM
panion of Mike and James, who was
he to talk of love to Billy? God!
Henrietta and Bartlett strolled up
as they approached the cars, where
they found the general pacing up and
down the road, filed with righteous
indignation and anger.
1t seemed Alphonse had long ago TAX
en- his rug and pillow and retired to
the edge of the woods and slumber.
Left alone the general had lighted a
cigar and was walking slowly back
and forth in front of the cars, waiting
for the others to return, when bug
gy, with two men in it, passed, the
horse shying bit and the general Of
fering his assistance and advice. To
his surprise they had not gone by
more than three yards, when they
stopped, tied the horse and came back
on foot
First" said the general, as the
four gathered around him in the light
of the car lamps, first l thought they
were hold-up men. The lamps on my
car had gone out and they did not see
it, thought that there was only one
car, so there would not be many to
defend it; besides, was the only
one they had seen, and doubtless they
surmised l was alone and they could
have held me up easily
Father" cried Henrietta, what did
you do?"
Before l could do anything they
asked me the make of my car / told
them. They said it didn't look like a
Packard, and l saw that they were
looking at Wills car and hadn't seen
mine, back near the wall and with the
lights out. l pointed to it and said
that was my car. They seemed sur
prised to see two cars. I told them
my name, gave them my card, and
told them 1 was motoring to Maine
with party of friends and asked
them what they were going to do
about it."
what did they say?" asked Bart
lett, while the Watermelon slowly
rolled a cigarette.
ooh, they apologized," admitted the
general. But what l want to know,
and what 1 don't like at all, is why
everyone is so curious to know the
make of my car, the engine number
and the license number. What bust
ness is it of theirs?"
The two girls slept in one car, Bart
lett and the general in the other. The
Watermelon lay on the grass on Billy's
side of the car and sought to reason
the thing out, to plan what to do.
Alone in the dark, he did not sleep,
but stared before him, ears attuned
to the many sounds of the summer
night.
In every whir of insects wings, in
every whispering breeze that passed,
he heard Billy's soft, sweet voice. He
stared up at the stars and likened
them to Billy's eyes, twinkling points
of light as far above him as Billy was,
for Billy was Billy, and he was
tramp, a hobo-a Weary Willie.

worst thing ever did, will you tell
me the worst you ever did,"
ct haven't done the worst yet" ex-
planned the Watermelon.
The general having nearly wrecked
the cars and seen the damage re-
paired by Alphonse, hurried to the
four sitting on the stone wall.
Come on" said he. "It is time we
were going. We have no blue book,
you know"
81 shouldn't wonder" said Henri
eta, 'if there were not rare chance
for some one to confess a heinous
crime"
She looked at Bartlett as he held
out his hand to help her down and
her eyes laughed deep into his.
'In self-defense-" he pleaded in a
whisper.
So in the freshness of the early
morning they dipped down the hill
into the valley, passed farm-houses
and corn lands. They stopped about
nine at farmhouse and partook of a
breakfast of coffee, bacon and eggs.
Alphonse filled the cars at a village

The field hospital supplies of the
Russians, about which there was some
anxiety at the beginning Of the war
ewing to d sudden stoppage of imports,
were never short, thanks to the capt

by Austria for the Russian campaign.
Word came Of the capture Of rich
booty in Galicia al the time, but pri-
vate messages now explain affairs in
more detail. When the Austrians fed
the Russians took more than twenty
miles Of carts, almost entirely laden
with hospital stores. Many stood with

TO assist in the fight, and the rest had
