A NEW kind of hat, which might be
"a called an aristocrat in millinery If
there were no other way of describ-
ing it, has been brought out in this
country. 1t has already won the dis
tinction of being imported by the
French and English from America.
This reverses the usual order of things
and may mark the breaking Of the first
wave in turning tide.
Three examples of hats made in
this new way and designed for motor
ing and for outdoor sports are pic
tured here. The bodies of these hats
are made Of silk fibre or specially pre-
pared millinery braids or chenille or
yarns There is no supporting frame
Of wire or buckram. The materials
used are manufactured with a tiny
wire core and the hat woven of them
needs no other support. 1t is as pill
able as a fine Panama and can be adj
justed in any way the wearer likes.
1t is possible to turn the brims up
from the face or down over the eyes
and the hat rarely needs a pin to fas-
ten It.
The auto hat shown is made of yarn
in light leather brown. 1t is trimmed
with tubing crocheted of heavier
yarn to match and provided, with a
handsome chiffon motor veil in the
same color. This veil is cleverly ad.
justed over the hat, passing through
short Sits at each side, which are
made In the brim at the base of the
crown. The veil may be pulled down
over the face when wanted.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1914-04-02

At the right of the picture the
smartest of sports" hats is made with
a bright green crown and black and
white brim. A gay Roman sash in
strong brilliant colors is laid about the
hat and held in place by straps made
of material like that in the crown.
For golfing, motoring, or any other
out-of-dcors pastime, 1t Is a marvel Of
beauty and convenience.
At the top there is a hat made of a
strong blue silk fiber braid for the
street or general outdoor wear. At
the right side a spray OF grayish green
grass springs from the brim edge, to
which 1t is bound with narrow velvet
ribbon in dark blue with pin-stripe
In white at the edge.
One must imagine the color schemes
In these hats to appreciate how good
looking they are. There is no way OF
describing the texture unless one COM
pares it to a close-made Irish lace
crochet. Like the best hats for men
it is named for its inventor and called
the Kinnard hat after the American
lady who created 1t. 1t is essentially
an elegant hat and cannot be made
cheaply, which is point greatly in
its favor in the estimation of the smart
set. But its strong appeal, next to
good looks, is from a sanitary stand.
point and in the matter of conve-
nience. 1t allows free circulation OF
air through the interstices in the
shape, and is pliable enough to be
bent in any shape desired.

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages Of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumptio and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakneus that would not be hard to
cure, il discovered early, so it is well
to know the early signs Of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by oyerwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
Of neuralgia, rheumatism, govt, sciat'
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.

DRY SCALE COVERED HEAD

big brown scabs on her head that the

II ANY one thing demonstrates how
4 forceful the appeal OF the purely
decorative in apparel is, as compared
to the simply useful, 1t is the increas-
ing demand for lingerie ribbons. Rib
bon ornaments for decorating under
muslins, and garments made wholly
or in part of ribbon, have ceased to
be called novelties, they are regular
stock in trade.
The designer of lingerie must give
fully as much time to its decorative
features as to cut and materials, and
she has taken unto herself ribbons
that they may help out in the play
Of imagination which is expressed In
decoration rather than in design.
These ideas have captivated women
they allow them to indulge the feml-
nine love of luxury at small cost.
Three Of the newest ribbon pieces
are pictured here. There is an adj
Unstable ornament made OF satin rib
bon an inch and half wide. 1t con-
sists Of small bow with three hang
Ing ends and one short end spring
ing from four short loops. Small
daisies made of baby ribbon, and mil
linery stamens, are set In the loop
and on two of the ends.
Ornaments Of this kind are provided
with little safety pins so that they
can be transferred from one garment
to another, and they are made up In
any light color the wearer may fancy,
with yellow almost as popular as blue
and pink.
An under bodice Cor corset cover)
Is made Of very wide messaline rib
bon trimmed with lace. It is plated
into a tape at the bottom and fastens
over the shoulders with ribbon ties
finished In a fiat "cravat" bow. AT
the front there is full bow with
hanging ends, Of baby ribbon termi-
mating the length that is threaded
through the lace. This serves the
purpose of drawing the bodice at the
top to adjust It to the figure.
With. the thin blouses and gowns
for summer, which are more diapha-
nous than ever, the ribbon under
bodice is a necessity, or one similar
to 1t of silk or combination of mar
row ribbon and lace insertion.
A pretty rosette bow with two hang
ing ends, conferred with a smaller
rosette Of baby ribbon, Is shown at

one and a half to two inches in width,

The Mexican general has not a war

In an interview General Diaz
showed that he was diplomat. To
questions that he did not care to an

English was not so good. At other
times he answered and apparently I'M
