came his wife II would be a handy thing
to call her High"
It Is generally supposed that when an
old girl turns her eyes on a man with
matrimony in view she pursues him ike
a fox after a rabbit There are, how
ever, exceptions to that rule, II II Is a
rule and Miss Hyacinth was an excep-
ton. She sighed, but she didn't pursue.
She hinted that Jared might eail, out
she didn't say that she would be waiting
at the front door with beating heart
When he did call he found her coy He
began to talk about a romance he had
read. but she switched the conversation
to astronomy. When he said that he
must be going she didn't ask what his
hurry was When he spoke OF being a
great bread eater, and asserted that ne
could eat apple pie at every meal the
year round, she did not brag Of her light
loaves and fiaky crusts.
The time came when Cupid should have
got to work, and when Miss Hyacinth
was willing to help him, but Jared was in
an undecided state OF mind. There were
others. There were no others named
Hyacinth, but there was one named Bet
sey, and he could shorten the name to
Bet" when In a hurry.
It was when his interest began to nag
that Jared went over to Lorain on busi-
ness. II was there that he found every
body excited over spiritualism. A stranger
had come to town and delivered lectures
that aroused the people He had done
more than that. He had sat with MS
hands on a table and called up the
spirits Of the dead. He had questioned
the spirits of the dead, and they had
answered him by raps on the table.
One rap stood for yes" Two raps for
no" Three raps for 'T can't tell"
The medium" as the lecturer called
himself, would call up the spirit Of some
ones dead grandmother and ask:
Are you in heaven?'
One rap-"Yes-"

THE NEW HATS.
The black velvet hat is still the pet
Of fashion. and It will probably remain
In fashion throughout the autumn and
popularity ruins and some things that
II only makes increasingly fashionable.
The black velvet hat probably belongs
In this second class.
The Turkish sash that came into
fashion 4 year or so ago was so quick

OF womankind that within a month or
two really smart women would have

rested from smartness for a season or

great mass Of womankind had tried II
out and grown tired OF II. and today IL
can be safely used by famous dress
maker without fear: for the dress
maker knows that this style will not
now be spoiled by repetition and popu-
larity.
Now the black velvet hat. of course,
had its origin in the very smart French
millinery houses. It cannot be denied
that II IL growing decidedly popular.
But for some reason the black velvet

RUFFs AND COLLARS.

The tulle run that Is fastened about
the throat with a band of velvet and
flares upward to envelop the chin is
one OF the dainty midsummer styles.
The really smart way 70 wear this run
Is with q single large dower-a rose or
a pansy-fastened to 1t on the left side,
This run Is. OF course, not 50 prac-
ticable nor 30 generally becoming as

we have grown used to: apd. Indeed, IL
Is q style for the few. But IL Is q

As for organdy and pique neckwsar.
Il is still much In evidence. Such q

One variation noticeable In the new

some OF the newest shapes. In a very

There has been a good deal OF talk

openings. They were openings of an
unusual nature, IL IL true. for there
were very few dressmakers, to hold
them and very few buyers to attend
them. Many OF the famous dressmak-
srs have been called to war and ma.
turally few but American buyers-and
few even of them-are in Paris
The cabled dispatches concerning
these openings have been neager and
they indicate no startlingly new FASH

long basque, coats OF many lengths

CHANGING FASHIONS.

Fashion never stands still, even In
times OF international war. So today,
although the Paris dressmakers are
working against great odds, they are
working, and news OF their activity
is sent over the cables to America
And the American dressmakers are
working as perhaps they never worked
before, realising an opportunity to
build UP their own profession.
Some Of US fondiy dream OF settled
fashion II seems always as IL we
were Just arriving a. q condition Of
clothes that would endure. But women
seriously, that fashions ever Will
change and change so rapidly that
only few can keep up with them.
Men do not seem to take this ever
changing aspect of fashion into &C:

pect that anything is going to happen
In fashions-it always has happened."
For woman realizes that in fashions,
Ias in science, present standards are
accepted only until something new IL
discovered. Hence, as long as Dress
makers have imaginations, fashions
will change.
