 Captain William. A. Miller, one of the most widely-known yaehtanen in this section, and who gained fame as yacht Kanawha, now owned by SMors
 ton F. Plant, began his yachting ca reer aboard a Norwich steam yscht owned by1Henry Osgood. of Norwich. Captain: Miller was son of William
 Miller, who resided in Main street for
 on. the -boarders: of Winthrop cove. in that section above the fChrystal ave nue bridge which has since been filled
 in and sis reclaimed land. As a boy, Captain Miller used to go a coasting
 on his fathers vessels and then on
 others. and was sehooled to become a 1 mariner He never attended the public schools for a very long period, but was always a student. and he became pro- ] hcfent in navigation and the nathe- ismatfcs connected herewith, and to such an extent. that he became an in-
 strIctor in navigation and was com I-ceded to be expert in that line He
 retired from active marine lifes sew
 eral years fago0 and devoted much of his time in the interests of spiritual | ism in which he was a sincere -adher- lent He. held membership in the Con- necticut Spiritualists' association and
 had. interest in the Spiritualist Camp ground at Pine Grove, Mantle, when 1 that association was all that it's name | implied.i S.,..s-s
 Before Captain Miller. became a captain in, fact. and before he had given navigation study serious cbnsid-
 iteration. he had aspiration to become a
 newspaper worker with marine news when not otherwise employed. he fur
 nished local marine news to the New | London Evening Telegram, long de- | ceased. In addition to his study o1 navigation and spiritualism, Captain ! Miller wrote poetry that was so satis- flying to himself that he had his se- I lections printed in book form. He all
 so made a study of music and conn., posed several songs, set to his origina. -l'music, perhaps the most pleasing tC
 him being The Old Town Mill. Gap.

 so much stock in Henry Ford. as I
 did once. -Itsis' perfectly evident that

 be mighty good thing-for Henry Ford's bank account.

Hats designed by American designers
reveal the wonderful results they have
achieved In their latest conceptions.
They are worthy of b ng considered
first in design, first in quality and first
In the heart of the American woman.
Some hats for spring show slight
kinship to their winter relations, while
others are so new in shape and form
that they call forth expressions Of sur
prise. AS there are not so much ex-
pensive trimmings used, the hats are
less expensive than formerly, and in
stead of buying just one good hat at an
exorbitant price, one can buy several
less expensive ones.
The hats of the 1880 period, hats in
spired by Slavic design, Scotch and
Dutch effects, as well as military, will
appear as the season advances. A fea-
ture of the hats viii be the combina-
tion of straw and silk. The lighter
hats will often have dark facings to
render them more becoming.
Sand colored tete de n6gre, new bat
tleship gray, browns, puppies and
greens are ire colo.s of most impor-
tanee. Shapes for spring show wide
range of small and large hats. Soft eff
fects still prevail and the top of the
hat is usually soft instead of the whole
crown. Hemp, Milan, Bangkok, "barn-
yard straws," Leghorn In natural and
colors, hats of basket weave rata,
which is excessively light and pliahle,
hsere straws, or high lustered straws
used alone or in combination with silk,
will have considerable vogue. Early
hats of suede kid are usually seen in
sailor effects.
Feathers Will share honors with
feather novelties, ribbons and flowers.
A new ribbon, called searchight, has
been adopted into the ribbon family.
Faille ribbons are exceptionally good.
The hats are mostly tilted over the
right eye and coquettishly poised at
such an angle that the back hair is
fully exposed. Strange IS it may seem,
the hats that are newest have a look
about them as if they had just stepped
out of an old family album.
A rather large pink hat with tele-
scope crown was underfaced and bound
with black straw. The broad brim
rolled up a. the back. At the base of
the crown was a twisted band of old
rose velvet ribbon, finished with a tai
lored bow and short ends. Rising above
the bow was a fan made of plaitings of
narrow velvet ribbon
A hat which had something of the
lines of an English walking hat was

VIKINGS.

The flowing draped veil is never quite
out of style, but this season IL has sur
prised even itself by the favor ac-
corded il. Some hats rely upon their
trimming for the style that the veil VIII
give it and are simply trimmed with
gOod-looking hat pins, a band or ruch
of ribbon, or a small ornament.
Black lace wells, as well as those in
black and white combinations, come in
such sheer effects that they might be
considered products Of fairy land.
Colored lace wells, fine as cobwebs,
are worn TO harmonic or TO contrast
with the hat. A veil Of black spotted
net has the top and bottom edged with
wide plating, edged with narrow rib
bon. The top plating was held in place
with the ribbon, which ties with bow
in front of the hat. Wells Of flet mesh
or Octagon mesh are best liked bound
with narrow MORE ribbon. A veil OF
fine net which hung in ripples nearly
TO the shoulders had a velvet spray OF
tiny daisies half way up the front.

well as net, chiffon and lace hats, are
seen in many novelty shapes.
The Scotch straw bonnets with a bit
Of trailing ribbon and a small rose
tucked under the band are sure to be
come a youthful face A hat of cadet
blue straw, faced with silk, was worn
with a tailor suit and was simply
trimmed with black coque feathers
caught in a knot of silver at the left
side front.
Pretty as a picture hat is Leghorn,
underfaced with green crepe. Pink,
blue, green and yellow uncurled tips en-
circled the square crown. Now and
then there was pink rosebud nesting
among the tips. A bow of velvet rib
bon was placed at the back of the
crown and had the end fastened to the
shoulder of the wearer with cluster
of posies.
Hats trimmed with flowers may be
said to be decorated instead of trimmed,
as the trimming is usually deposed
fatty on the hat. Small fiat flowers,
such as asters, gardenias, etc, viii be
In the foreground. Flowers in eombina-
ton with berries and fruit are seen on
more than half the hats. A new idea
in fruit trimmings are the fruits and
chenille effects. Plums, cherries, Der
ries, grapes and small apples in new eff

long and narrow in shape with a brim
curling I'D a trife at each side. Long
pointed quills were placed high at the
center front. Around the base Oh the
crown was narrow faille ribbon run
through two pearl buckles. The ends
of the ribbon fell to quite length in
the back.
A David Copperfeld sailor with mar
row brim and high sloped crown was
made of forest green straw and bound
with sand-colored velvet. This also had
velvet ribbon tied in the back with
long ends and directly in front were
two smoked pearl buckles.
Among the hats displayed at an ex-
elusive millinery shop was putty straw
sailor faced with black satin. At the
top of the crown are clusters of Der
ries, red and green, tiny apples and
leaves. The vogue for red hats is ex-
emplifed in a clever little red snug
fitting hat with a bunch of frosted
green and red grapes and foliage ex-
tending on the brim.
A gray straw hat worn by one of the
ultra -fashionables permitted itself a
touch of gaiety by its choice of two
gardenias of white velvet and cerise
chiffon placed on the left side back. A
jauntv wired cerise velvet bow en-
twined with flower graced the right
side back.
Purple straw and blue taffeta com
hined 10 make q stunning hat, which
was trimmed with a fancy of breast
feathers with very long narrow quills
Of coarse novelty straw was a &c
hghtful creation noticed in one Of tAe
fashionable restaurants. Tho crown
was fiat and the close brim turned out
one inch at the top. Under tho tur4
over a wreath of sand-colored flowers
with blue-colored centers looked Just
pretty enough to pick A fat bow Of
sand-colored ribbon with blue edge had
short ends which fell a few inches be-
low the hat.
Another hat of similar shape had
flat roses of old rose and tan suede.
Panama hats of many new shapes
are making a strong bid for favor
These are usually simply trimmed, and
have seen some with cretonne tops
and upper brim facings trimmed with
ribbon, quill, or Just a flower, which
well deserves the word "'smart.''

A captivating hat Of gray ruched
straw had blue and pink roses placed
symmetrically around the edge. White
and black and white combinations are
always among the most wanted hats for
spring and summer wear.
A white taffeta hat Underfaced with
white luster straw had a broad brim
rolled on the left side. A white maline
ball, much like the fur balls worn last
winter, with two long curled feelers
was placed outstanding at the left side.
White kid and oilcloth hats have made
their appearance in the millinery world.
Black always holds an undisputed
place, for no wardrobe Is complete with
out an all-blaek hat Black straw, as
