HAIR ORNAMENTS
OF RICH DESIGN
In FAVOR TODAY

n HERE is no abatement in the lik-
! ing for ornaments for the hair.
There is a good deal of talk sbout the
return of the high couture, but the last
few years have shown women the beau
ty of well-chosen, and well-designed
hair ornaments, and no couture can
put them in the background without
good deal of struggle.
The famous French dressmakers,
realizing the scope their genius might
have in hair ornaments. have turned
their attention to designing some of
much beauty.
One ornament that makes use of the
butterfly is made of tiny black jet
disks mounted on black wire. The
from tip to tip of his half-opened
wings. He is perched on bandeau
made of the little jet disks strung to-
gether solidly-a bandeau about two
inches wide. The butterfly is perched
at the base of full back aigrette
made up of half dozen tall, slender
spikes.
Another butterfly is made if rides
cent pink sequins. This butterfly is
bigger than the black one described.
Each wing measures couple of
inches. But it is so graceful in color
and form that it is in no way too
heavy for the hair it adorns. 1t is
fastened to twisted ribbon bandeau
studded with the pink sequins.
Above the butterfly rise three tiny
pink plumes, deeper at the tips than
l. at the base-shading from pale blush
pink to deep rose. Whether plumes
as hat trimming gain great favor or
not this season-and Paris has been
| trying to reintroduce their use on hats
they doubtless will be much used
for hair ornaments.
The American shops show their hair
| ornaments of good design and little
| cost their appeal to the average WON
ans sense of economy, as well as to
| her sense of beauty The most eff.
| fective of these ornaments are doubt
less either black white or black and
white combined-rhinestones for the
ornaments. Nowhere in women's
! dress does 1t look so graceful and
suitable as ON her hair It's lightness
and delicacy make it a fitting crown
to dainty couture.
Jet and rhinestones combined are
brilliant in effect. One especially
good ornament shows good-sized
rhinestones arranged alternately with
cut jet beads of the same size. They
are set in platinum band, in three
tiers, and the band is made to extend
all around the head. Where it fastens
on the left side there is soft, fluffy
group of white feathers of almos
downy appearance and texture.
A dainty ornament for a young CIR
is made of silk apple blossoms ant
pink aigrettes. The ornament i!

IF ever there was a season in which
! millinery modes were more becom-
ing than those recently designed flor
present wear, the memory of it lin
gers not in the mind of the oldest in
habitant. These lovely between sea-
sons" hats promise well for the later
designs and are so captivating and so
inexpensive that almost anyone may
indulge in them for the sake of
variety in headwear if for nothing
else
Variety is the spice of life" more
truly in the matter of headwear than
in any other apparel. The hat is the
keynote of the toilette. 1t is the most
important finishing touch, and finish
ing touches are to be relied upon to
give character and distinction in the
matters of dress. The between-Sea-
sons hat lends an inspiration to it's
wearer, who has grown tired, of her
winter millinery and finds it I'd early
to buy strictly spring hat
The demi-season hats Gas milliners
call them) are made of silk, satin,
MORE, maline and fancy braids most
ly. There is never any telling what
will be evolved next by the clever
people who think out our headwear.
Just now they are exploiting the fab
RIGS just mentioned, with jet and
small flowers and smart feathers for
trimming. Beads and the metal laces,
little punches of small fruits, and
many jet ornaments, such as are in

Elaborate Eichus.

Fichus are worn either inside or out
side the dress. They are made of
shadow lace or plain white net. One,
in black net, is trimmed with black
satin bow run through a pearl buckle
at the bottom Another has a plain
white Medici collar and iabot trimmed
with white ball buttons. A more elab-
crate fichu is made of silk shadow
lace with standing collar.
The newest ruff is worn either
standing or fiat. There are three rows
of plated net on ribbon band, the
ends OF which are tied in four-in-hand.
A chic looking ruff is made of black
net and white maline; the black is
edged with picot and the ribbon ends
are plain. The more extreme styles
are very full and stand high. One is
of white maline with black picot edge,
MORE bow in black and long moire
ends in front.

the shops in profusion, come in fer
much consideration also.
The three hats shown here are fine
are rather small, but are not worn as
low on the head as our winter hats.
They fit snugly and may be kept in
place without pin
Among the new models are shapes
that are worn at quite tilt to the
right. Others set almost squarely on
the head, but dropping, close-ftting
brims at the right. which curve up
ward at the left, give them the ap-
pearance of being posed at a rakish
angle. This pose carried to the ex-
IRENE, almost covers the right eye.
Those who are inclined to be face
tious declare that the right eye is not
being worn at present. The poise Of
the hat is thing to he decided by
individuals for themselves. There are
hats for those who like the straight
pose and hats for those who like the
tilted pose. In selecting one the idea

ABsTINENcE-oNLY SAFE POSI-
TION.


Total abstinence is certainly per-
sonal prohibition, and personal pro-
hibitionists ought to vote for national
prohibition. 1t is the moderate drink
er that supports the saloon, sustains
the brewery and the distillery and
breeds the degenerates that fill our
prisons, our hospitals, poorhouses
and insane asylums. l have treated
some 5000 inebriates in my profess
sional career, all before without ex
ception were moderate drinkers, and
in 900 carefully tabulated records OF
family history there was shown some
form of degeneracy present in the di-
rect line of descent and collateral
branches, the use of narcotics in some
form being present in the parental
history The descendants of the ha-
bitual moderate drinker do not escape
the evil of the alcoholic; faint. in some
form of physical, mental, moral de-
generacy. The only safety is total alb
stinence, and this must be impressed
on the people,. d. Mason, NJ. D.,

Fur Chin STRAPS.

The mode for wearing chin straps
OF silk or velvet with the small hats
of the present day has been in vogue
for some time, but among the latest
arrivals in the millinery world are
wide brimmed velvet hats trimmed
with bands of fur, other narrow bands
of fur being brought down from the
sides to fasten beneath the chin. One
model, for instance, was of brick red
velvet trimmed with skunk. with a
skunk chin strap attached to the brim
beneath knot of brick red velvet rib
bon. Ermine is also being used. for
the purpose, but its peculiar yellow
white color is not particularly becom-
ing to even the most perfect of COM
plexions.

TAKE CARE OF THE GLOVES
Length of Service and General Pre-
sentabiIity Depend on Way They
Are Handled.

Too much cannot be said about the
necessity for proper care in removing
gloves from the hands, for upon this
more than anything else depends the
length of time pair of gloves will
wear. After christening the glove it
should be turned back over the hand
as far as the fingers, and then should
be pushed off without pulling on the
fingers of the glove al ALL as when
this is done the threads of the sewing
are broken, and in short time begin
to rip.
After the glove is off the hands the
fingers should be gently Strengthened

and put into box to keep them from

We always scan the liquor papers
with interest and growing satisfaction.
They indicate from the viewpoint OF
the enemy the very encouraging adj
vance of the temperance march, and
the reports from their watch towers
strengthen our faith and increase our
courage. What is meant for note of
warning to the liquor interests comes
as a word of cheer to the teetotaler
Indeed, if it were not that we object to
supporting the liquor trade by SUBJ
scribing for its periodicals. we should
say to every anti-liquor man and
woman, especially to the weakened
among us, take a liquor journal"

TITANIC MoURNERS
 IN SUPREME COURT
Arguments Begun as to Extent of

Washington, Jan. 13-Half dozen mournerS of the Titanic disaster sat in the supreme court today listening to arguments on whether the liability of the owners of the ship shall be linn ited to less than $100,000 or for full claims for damages aggregating some S13,000,00
 The mourners did not make them selves known and were unrecognized. Charles c. Birmingham on behalf of the Oceanic Steam Navigation com pany, opened the argument contending that damages should be limited to salvage and passage money, some $90,- 000
 Frederick M Brown, on behalf of the claimants, contended that the Titanic was a floating island in the eyes of the law and that the British flag fly ing over 1t made the British law gov ern the liability of the owner. He chal- lenged, MT.

The refugees on foot will be guarded by United States cav alrynlen until they reach Maria, 61 miles from the border.
 At Maria ten trains of ten coaches each are to carry the MeXicans to Fl Paso, under escort of four companies of the Twentieth United States infan- try, and at the army post in Fl Paso something like a village is to spring up and remain in existence until the foreign soldiers are taken elsewhere or finally returned to Mexico.

 The whole body of refugees will be en route to Maria for three or four days, and it probably will be next week before they are put on on trains for Fl Paso. Along the route to Maria four camps. each marking the end of a days march, are to be provisioned.
