CltIea Aaes Old.

Forgotten, cities Of q prehistoric
people, far beyond what was deemed
the furthest eastern limit of the town
buildings, were reported by Fir. julius
Hartman Of the Catholic parish at
Willard, Terrence county, to the
school of American Archaeology at
Santa Fe, N. NJ, recently. FIR. Hart
man made survey of sixty miles Of
ruins and rock inscriptions extending
from the present Mexican village Of
Pinos Wells to the Canyon Pintada in
a region that is desolate and uninhab-
tied and touched only at long inter
vals by sheep herders. The ruins OF
the villages and communal dwellings
antedate the Spanish conquest Of
three hundred and more years ago. and
Judging from the debris that covers
the sites and hides the ruins. the cit.
les are q thousand and more years
old. The two villages nearest to
Pinos Wells are located on q high
mound, and the communal buildings
are circular In form. From the burial
place, the Ariest took skeletons, fu.
neral urns. pottery, stone implements,
weapons and other relics, character
istic Of the prehistoric town builders

The Man With 4 Job,


Every one has a right to the dis

that we should get them. The grocer,

cook, is a person At to be recognized.
both by his own timid self and by the
rest Of the world. In time the title of
our job comes to stand for US, to en-
large our personality and to give us
permanence. Then 1t supplements the
standing with which is given US by our
product. To hold down a job" gives
US q place in the world, something ap
preaching the home for which in some
form or other every one longs. Have
you any place for me?" we ask with
eagerness, for until we find "a place
we are tramps-men without coun
try.
A man with q job has, at least II
embryo, the kind of recognition which
we all crave. He has won member
ship in q club that he wants to belong
to and especially hates to be left out
Of. To be In it as member In full
standing gives q taste of self-respec
and observation-disclosures.

nUR new styles are bewildering in
~ variety and draw their inspiration
from many periods Of time. But the
early and mid-Victorian eras have
made themselves most strongly felt
even in competition with those beau
tiful adaptations Of the Greek draper
les which are incomparably graceful.
In fact nothing really new has be-
come established so far this season,
and we are masquerading In costumes
some of which would make our grand
mothers and our great grandmothers
feel very much at home II they could
revisit their earthly abodes.
Many of the new wraps and gowns
make no claim to being graceful.
They depend for charm on the beauty
Of fabrics and their suggestion of the
fenininity Of days gone by.

by Georgette, the wonderful, Of Paris,
Is something like an old-fashioned

The cluster of houses forming the

aged to make it fairly shapely, and al
together it is about the most attrac-
tive Of the many taffeta wraps to-
which we will have to become accus-
toned.
It Is cut in the voluminous style
which the mode demands and trimmed
with narrow knife-plaitings of taffeta-
and an applied design Of covered cord.
A soft cable cord is used for max
ing 1t, and the taffeta is cut in narrow
bias strips and sewed over the cord.
One thing is demonstrated by styles
like that shown here. and that is that
women stick to the utterly feminine
in the construction of their apparel
no matter what excursions they may
make into the worlds of business and
politics. Therefore we shall see
them trooping to the polls to vote in
the most impractical and unbusiness-
like of clothes. 1t Is the eternal fem
mime again.

There IL no loss to her In selling .
hat and its trimmings separately. and
she takes no chances on the finished
effort being pleasing to its owner.
Besides, the amateur soon learns that
it IL only the simpler things that she
can attempt with success. The sailor
shown at the top Of the picture, and
worn with a lace veil Is q smart af-
fair, which may be trimmed as we'll
at home as In a shop.
The remaining two hats are quite
without the province Of the home mil
liner. One Is a plateau Of straw which
must be wired to shape and mounted
on bandeau or cap to give the prop
er poise. 1t is trimmed with wide blue
ribbon and a full wreath OF heather.
A charming black hat Is shown I'M
the third picture. It suggests the
Rembrandt hats which have been 30
popular. The small, fiat shape of black
hemp Is bordered with lace made Of
horsehair and wired with tiny. almost
invisible wires. There Ia . broad
spray Of wheat at the left side Of the
low crown and a sash Of moire
ribbon tied In full bow.
The wide bandeau Is trimmed with

ming. set forth the best OF the new
millinery modes more clearly than

tiful designs.
Hats in this shape, with moderately
large and high crowns, and brims mar
row and almost straight, are to be
seen in every color and variety Of ma
terial, and trimmed in all the trim
mings known to millinery. This Is
the new sailor shape, and one Of those
lucky ventures of the hat manufac-
turers that take the feminine world by
storm.
Ribbons with small flowers or rib
bons with fancy feathers and orna-
ments, prove to be the choice OF the
majority for trimming the sailor
shape. 1t is a simple matter, too, to
place the trimming successfully, and
this hat has been ready seller to
those thrifty women who undertake
to make their own simpler millinery.
