Tor little ladies, from the baby girl to
the miss entering upon her teens,
and for the miss in her teens, fasci-
hating lines of headwear have been
turned out. Those specialists who
look after the needs of children, up to
the time when they enter the ranks
of young womanhood, have developed
this branch of millinery until America
may be conceded to lead in point of
variety and to match in point of excel
lence the products of all other coun-
tries.

girls shown here a bonnet and two

IN order to get a clear idea Of the

Deer Connad Cahhane.

A herd of deer celebrated the close
of the cunning season by invading the
garden of Postmaster A. G. Stewart at
Weymouth, N. j., and eating his win
ter supply of cabbage. Several gun
ming parties have been encamped
within a hundred yards of the spot
during the week and dozen deer have
been shot in the immediate vicinity.
The deer came to within fifty feet of
where two stag hounds were tethered
to their kennels and the barking of
the dogs aroused the postmaster and
his son, who saw the herd scampering
away in the moonlight
Sportsmen here say that the season
Just closed has been the best In many
years. The heavy foliage remaining
on the trees gave the deer more shell
ter than usual Over thirty bucks
have been reported bagged within a
ten-miie radius of Weymouth. This
was proportion of about one to every

BLINDMAN'S BUFF IN WINTER
Answers to Questions Put by "Guess

Voice Without Laughing.

This game may be played in the
house, very quietly, as indoor games
usually are. The "Guesser" stands
in the center Of the room, blindfolded
Around him the other players are
grouped. The "Blindman," or Guess
err points in some direction and the
player he chances to point at comes
up in front Of him. He asks three
questions, anything he pleases, such
as How much do you weigh?" "HoW
tall are you?" or Have you blue
eyes?" The one addressed must an
swer as correctly as possible, or else
say IL do not know" but must dis
gutse his voice, making it high. low;
squeaky, or he may answer in whis
per, or sing, or stutter He may use
any means he thinks of to deceive the
"Blindman" as to his identity.
The player being questioned must
not laugh, however, or he will have
to pay forfeit. The "Guesser" NAV
laugh. In fact, he will, probably, do
SO in order to try to make the other
player follow his example and pay
forfeit.

Roots Commemorative Ability.

Senator Root has great power Of
concentration. He would have made
a great war correspondent. No mat
ter how much shot and shell might
be flying about him, he could sit and
jot down what Is in his mind without
paying any attention to anything else.
One day he was going through some
papers that contained information he
was sitting out. The matter was one
that called for much quiet thought
and reflection.
A caller arrived at the outer office.
A clerk went in to the Senator and
told him:
"Mr. Sr lndso's here for an II o'clock
appointment 1t Is now three minutes
of IL"
"All right. Show him in at H."
directed Mr.. Root
And during those three minutes he
became just as much engrossed in the
task before him as If there were moth

NOT APPROVED BY SCIENCE
Existence of "BraIn Waves" as Popu-
larIy Understood, Has Never
Been Established.

Sir Ray Lancaster, who has been a
diligent student Of telepathy, now ar
rives at the conclusion that the so
called brain waves" of which the to-
lepathist talks, have no foundation in
science. According to him, we know
nothing Of the existence of such waves
and are absolutely devoid of the means
Of establishing them The chief diff
Guilty lies In the fact that those who
seem to believe In them most implic-
itly are unable to 80 much as haz-
ard guess as to the material In
which they occur.
The physicist who teaches the ex-
lstence of light waves afirms at the
beginning that. they are waves Of the
ether In holding to sound waves he
explains that they are waves Of the
atmosphere. To say that sound and
light are waves and at the same time
to be unable to declare the substance
Of which those waves consist would
be to leave sound and light unex-
planned; and Sir Ray holds that like
Inference Is to be drawn from the
brain-wave explanation Of telepathy.
But granting the existence Of such
waves, he proceeds to ask by what
means they are received, and obtains
no answer. AS far as present day
science goes there is no detector in
the brain by which they may be re-
ceived, and no mechanism to trans
form them into sensible form. Neither
Is there a code between man and man
whereby the thoughts conveyed are
to be made ineligible as the Morse
alphabet transforms the dots and
dashes Of the telegraph key into
words
The possibility of telepathy is not
denied. The noted scientist simply
takes the ground that at the present
stage of knowledge, If brains do COM
municate with each other Immediately
and over long distances, it is by some
other method than that Of the sup
posed brain waves"
