by an older woman 1t is a shape that
may be placed on the head at several
angles, and this widens its field consid-
erably. For the Jet hat has the ad-
vantage Of appropriateness on both
youthful and elderly heads.
The turban with soft crown of
maline and brim Of jet, trimmed with
curled peacock feathers, is SO smart
and unusual in style that 1t would ar
rest the attention anywhere. In this.
folded maline follows the outline Of
the brim, and the crown Is made Of
several thicknesses Of maline. 1t is a
shape for the youthful wearer The
placing of the feathers is especially
clever.
One OF the shapes which. lifts away
from the left side of the head with its
crown forming a background for the

It is n Of the most successful of
hats. There is a bandeau which al
most amounts to a cap, covered with
frills Of maline. The shape is draped
with net, spangled with tiny Jet Sc

ton. Its thoroughly practical points
make themselves evident.
Combinations of two materials are
featured in tailored gowns for spring.
A plain cloth skirt with a plaid jacket.
or a cross-barred skirt with a plain
coat, or a figured material trimmed
with checks, are bright and pleasing.
Perhaps the best-liked combination OF
all is that of black moire silk in bands
and fiounces on cloth Of a contrasting
color.
The draped collar must not go un-
mentioned. 1t lies in loose folds across
the back and Is cut sailor-fashion with
| pointed ends forming a "V" at the
neck. 1t is among the most striking
and becoming of the touches that
mark the tailored gowns of this sea
son.
The extremely short Jacket and coat
fronts lengthen the appearance of the
figure at the front. By observing the
different models a selection Is possible
that will either lengthen or shorten
the apparent height of the wearer.
Altogether, we have not had more
attractive suits than these. But coats
have been more shapely and rather
more difficult to make than the loose
hanging variety which is now the
vogue.

DRINK AND CRUELTY.

DRINK AND CRUELTY.
Medical science tells US that an i'm
perfect nervous system is often the
cause OF the tendency to cruelty some
times seen in young children-that II
a child shows a disposition TO torture
animals or abuse other children 1t
does not follow that the boy or girl
is a degenerate: 1t may be due to the
presence Of toxin In the blood. The
well-known tendency TO cruelty on the
part OF those addicted to the excess
sive use OF intoxicants, bears out this
statement. Men, who In sober mo-
ments are tender husbands and IA
theirs. become transformed by strong
drink into savages and flends. Even
the more temperate" S OF liquor
tends to dull the sensibilities and be-
cloud the finer instincts. The toxin
IN the blood OF a moderate drinker,
while not always causing a noticeable
degeneracy in the man himself. is
transmitted to his offspring, and in
the third or fourth generation, if not
before, is manifested in the cruel
tendencies OF children that excite our
wonder.
