their distinguishing name-that of

So good an item of art in millinery

Flower and feather trimmings-but
mostly flowers-are mounted on the
outside or underbrim instead of being
embedded In the material.
A beautiful hat of this character is
shown In the picture. 1t is of black
malines made over a frame of fine
silk wire. The edge wire and one
other are outlined on the underbrim
by filter Jet. There is an immense
pompon of malines at the front with
two long jet ornaments thrust in it.
Nothing could be prettier for midsum-

millinery.

River.

Lawrenceburg, Ind.-Samuel H.
Bowman and Richard d. Grimsley
caught a catfish weighing 1877 pounds
in net in the Ohio river near the
mouth Of the Great Miami river. Il
was the largest fish ever caught in
the river in this vicinity. Their lives
were endangered before Grimsley shot
the fish and landed it. Bowman was
hurled ten feet by the big fish in its
struggle for liberty and fell into about
twenty feet of water. However, he

France. Perhaps his most striking
characteristic is quiet modesty, his
unassuming nature.
He Is a type of the officer bred Of
the desire for revenge. For that he
has worked; it was that idea which
gave to his teachings their stength; it
was that idea which gave to his spirit
the force required Of it during the bat

General Maunoury and his army have
moved up to the Aisne.
1t was there that l had the honor
of visiting him.
Like many another army commander
have been privileged to meet along
the French front, General Maunoury
has refused to admit that a generals
place is in the study porting over maps,
receiving reports, conducting war as
though it were nothing but a game of
chess.
He declined to believe that the tele-
phones. wireless, the aeroplanes, and
modern shell fire have In any way
belittled the importance Of men, and
he made point of making at least
one visit a day to the front trenches,
where his CHEEKY smile and cheering
words never failed to increase the re-
spect and admiration in which he is
held by his officers and men.
1t was during one of those visit;
that a bullet found him with his eye
at peephole and temporarily de-
prived France of his service.

you something more lurid, like those
see in the American press.
Watched a French aviator being
fired at about 4:45 p. m. Four bat
teries were at him at the same time,
six or seven shells exploding at once.
There was still enough light to see
the shells explode. The firing was so
fast that l counted, and found that
more than a hundred shells exploded
in five minutes. The aviator flew out
of range, but at Sis he came back
again, and, strange to say. was not
fired at.
They say that French aeroplanes
have wire attached about two hun
dred feet long by which the observer
on board can flash signals by making
the wire spark. Thus officers all the
way back can read the signals with
powerful glasses.

He obeyed without word. She left the place,
locked the door securely. and made her way round

from the house. Here at the far corner, she drew
a little pocket wireless from her bag and set it
