Here are two pretty dress hats which show which way the millinery wind blows. As to trimming it points to simplicity, but as to shape it con tinues to blow every which way In materials hatters' plush. velours and combinations of velvet with other ma terials are in steady demand and such combinations appear in these two hats.
 At the top the picturesque shape is of velvet and plush. the velvet appear ing on the upper brim and in wide fange against the plush facing. The top crown IS of velvet wide. hand seme faille ribbon is laid in folds about the side crown and the ends are joined at the right of the front Here an odd feather ornament is posed at an equally odd angle.

A design in a dress and coatee for a little girl, which may be successful ly made up in any sort of material is shown here. AS pictured the dress is of Irish poplin with a border of ottoman silk in wide bias band about the bottom of the skirt, and a jacket of the same silk as the band. But the model is just as we'll adapted to many of the new cotton fabrics It might be developed in cotton gaber- dine for the dress, and cotton cordu- roy for the jacket, in any of the light, staple colors that these new fabrics are made in.
 As shown in the picture the skirt is set on to belt of the poplin which is also the belt of the plain bodice The bodice has small yoke, opening at the neck in a shallow "" and fin. ished with little, buttonholed scallops

STIRRED ALL TO SYMPATHY
Gift of the "Widow's Mite" Must Also Have Been Looked Upon With
 Approval From on High.

A small. worn purse that contained coins amounting to $1.40-it did not look impressive when it was given to the cause of the poor But the story behind it is one to be remembered Nine years ago an old omnibus driver was driving his passengers to the rail way station in an eastern city When the station was reached the horses stopped of themselves. The driver was sitting in heap, dead. but he still held the reins.
 The men for whom he worked would not take the coins he had collected from the passengers. They left them in the worn purse. Although his wife was very poor, she would not use the money, either. Reverently she put the purse away. resolved not to use it for herself.
 Although hard times came to her and her children after his death. her resolve was not broken; but last year, when there was so much distress

becoming lines Such shapes are not universally becoming. but when they do suit the face, they seem made es- pecially for the wearers.
 Below is a French sailor with the brim widened at the left front, which is an indication of the privilege ac- corded to brim by the mode. They do all sorts of unexpected things. The brim is of matters plush faced with velvet and has a narrow velvet bind ing. The top crown is soft and of velvet.
 This hat, becoming to almost every face, has a band of the new, brilliant fiitter-jet about the side crown. The sequins are small and set very thick, overlapping one another in a mass of brilliant scales. Two long "feeers spring from a small oblong body of the fiitter-jet, the little sequins or spangles extending little way on each one. Two of the odd. stiff orna- ments are set at the backbone on each side of it. The hat would be pret- tier without these. and measured by the seasons standards would be amply trimmed.

 Among other pretty models for the little miss are full skirts of plaid ma terial confined at the waist with sey- eral rows of shirring and set onto a plain belt of the plaid. Wide suspen- ders made also of the plaid material are set onto the belt. Such skirts are finished with a plain, three=inch hem and are only moderately wide They are worn over thin blouses made of batiste or organdie or other sheer ma terial. Short top coats or jackets of plain wooden goods, matching the dom inant color in the plaid skirt, are worn with them. Together they make a smart looking outfit for the little girf.

Sounds of Desolation.

You proceed a little farther in Ar ras to a large circular place, once im- posing Every house in it presents the same blighted aspect. There is no urban stir! but in the brief intervals of the deafening eannonade can be heard one sound-blnds and curtains fluttering against empty window frames, and perhaps the idle. faint banging of a loose shutter. Not even cat walks. We are alone-we and the small group of staff officers who are acting as our hosts. We feel like thieves-like desecrators, impiously prying

of Hum, is Simois' stream, or should be; but the bridge across it shows upon our approach that modern Simois is no more than a creek. Worse than that; following it's attenuated course, less than a mile downstream, we dis cover that it ends in morass instead of the Scamander as of yore. And the latter stream is scarcely less dis appointing, for it is no more dignifled in size or appearance. In fact, their sluggish currents united can scarcely boast of banks except at occasional intervals, for both streams are now only broad swales merging with the adjacent plain, with no continuous cur rent toward the sea except in seasons of high water. if such are ever known.
 And such beautiful plains! They were well worth fighting for, gently undulating as they retreat from the former river courses, and most home like, cultivable places for peaceful abode Little rounded oak trees are studded about the plain in solitary, in- dependent fashion-oak trees resem- bling apple trees in size and peril phery.
 Behold the ruins at last A long, low ridge, some four or five miles in length, ends abruptly like a promon- tory projecting into the sea, above which it rises about 30 feet. The ridge is the so-ealled Hill of Hum" the sea is the flood plain of the Simois and the Scamander, historically known d. the plain of Troy, and the promon- tory, with it's crown of ruins, is Troy itself You walk around the ruins and make sthe surprising discovery that if the walking were good you could easily do it in ten minHtes- Astonishing, Is this all there was of Troy, and did this little stronghold withstand a nine years siege ard still remain unconquered by force2 lm- | possiblei The whole hill of Hum may have been fortified and to some ex- tent populated; otherwise how was the garrison provisioned?
