Among the really new things that
have appeared IN the millinery hori-
zon for fall, the bead ornaments and
bead work which adorn many of the
hats, are the most novel. Also they
are very handsome. Now that Amer
leans are learning how to rely upon
themselves for artistry in creating
headwear, 1t seems specially appropri-
ate that they should have drawn an
inspiration from the original Ameri-
cans-the red men who have used
beads always. And anyone who will
examine a collection of headwear or
other apparel. OF many Indian tribes,
will develop a respect for the art Of
Its makers and for their patient work.
Beads and needlework are the new
touches appearing on the two fall hats
shown here. The shapes are wide
brimmed sailors, covered with velvet.
The hat at the right is in a strong,
bright shade of blue velvet. About
the crown a heavy silk floss appears
In parallel rows of even stitches and
this decoration appears in four rows
at the edge of the upper brim. At
the front many strands of white beads
are knotted and fastened to the top
crown. The strands terminate In
b%ead-covered balls fastened to the
brim at each side.

Asbestos is a potential lifesaver

complete protection from fire because
it is a "nonconductor," but assure
them also the comfort of freedom from

Victorian Sleeve Revived.

Another Victorian revival is the
pulled sleeve coming midway between
shoulder and elbow. Thus far these
sleeves adorn only evening gowns, the
long sleeve to the wrist being used
on all bodices and blouses for day
wear. Low necked waists are filled
in at the top with gathered fuckers
another dainty Victorian feature OF
dress-and the decolletage is growing
round instead of V-shaped as the
season advances. Dimity and lowered
organdie find special favor and Iaven-
der-the color of colors in demure Vic
torian days--is particularly fashion
able.
The belle of 1920 yelled herself part

therefore there is every reason to be-
lieve that we shall see very interest
ing developments Of 1t as the fall sea-
son advances. Among the most attrac-
tive OF the head ornaments shown SO
far are those of white and black beads
applied to the body OF the hat in
geometrical figures. White predomi-
mates in these figures, and the dark
colors that are fashionable for the
body of hats make the best of back
grounds for bead embroidery.

Boss Tweed,s Old Home to Go.


Boss Tweed's old home at Fifth ave-
I'LL and Forty-third street, New York,
soon will give place to the 16-story
Office structure of the Guaranty Trust
company. The house, one Of the city's
landmarks, covers a space Of 62x123
feet and was sold by the norotious
Tammany chieftain to Richard T. Will
o some years ago for $1,200,000. The
exterior of the place has not been al
tered since Tweed escaped from the
police. He requested that his guards
permit him to pack some clothes.
They waited a long time at the front
door and then realized that the pris-
oner had fed. Tweed had escaped to
Forty-third street and then to the
river, where his yacht was ready to
sail. He reached Spain, was caught
and returned to the United States.

Suits for little boys under six, like
those for little girls, are made of wash
fabrics for both summer and winter.
Heavy linens and cottons in strong
weaves and in fast colors that stand
strenuous wear and much Tubing, are
used in the new suits for daily year
which have just been brought out.
When the little gentleman is dressed
for a grand occasion he wears velvet
and looks princely in it. The simple
tub suits for every day make it pos
sible to keep him refreshingly clean
in spite of the fact that the small
chap is usually oblivious to dirt and
has a faculty for gathering it.

boys suits are shown here. They
leave nothing to be desired in excel

practical wearing qualities.
