.stoveplper Among Them.

"Stovepipe" Among Them.
Nearly all the hats shown were
small. Except for a n.w model called
the "stovepipe." in which the crown
shows great ambitions to initiate the
old-time Baltimore hack drivers head.
gear, all of the spring chapeaux are
FIAT in their general effect. The
crowns are SO shallow that when
perched upon the head a good view is
still retained of the hairdress OF the
wearer.
The trimmings as well as the hats
show a tendency to be fiat, small mar
row ribbon being used and a great
quantity Of those small flowers and
fruits which snuggle down out Of the
way Of the breezes.
Streamers of narrow ribbon are
used copiously, not only on the little
brimless toques, but on the broader
brtmmed picture hats. To be truly
fashionable 1t would seem thar a nat
made entirely OF straw must not be
worn. II its crow is straw, then its
brin must be silk, or chiffon. II the
brtm is Of straw. then must the crown
be OF some pretty %soft-shaded silk.
1t Is interesting to note that at
least M of the displays Of millinery
Is absolutely within the spirit Of the
Made in America" movement. No
Paris hats are among them, though
to be sure a few are built after a few
French patterns which managed to
get across to New York. The exhibit.
ton would certainly go to prove that
a Paris isn't necessary to give Ameri.
can women an array OF becoming and
fascinating bonnets.
Proper Food for child's Lunch Box.
Cold lunches at their very best are
not SO very good, aud those carried
by the average school child are far
from being what they ought TO be.
either from q hygienic or an aesthet.
ic standpoint.
Al some of the schools hot dishes
may be bought for a few cents. and
they go a long way toward solving
the problem. But In most Of the
schools the child has to depend on
what car be carried from home.
Breakfasts are eaten all too Fur.
rledly and more than one child les
to his morning work insufficicutly
nourished. All the more reason, then,
that the monday lunch contain lust
the food which will satisfy and nour.
ish him without overlooking the stom.
ach--thus making the child dull and
stupid for tho afternoon session.
First OF all. the lunch should be
attractive and clean. Children have
not always the robust appetites that
the story books picture. and . Is an
astonishing fact, but true, -ncverthe.
less. that girls and boys who come
from w%ell.to.do homes sometimes
carry lunches that are anything but
sanitary.
Wicker Lunch Hampers.
The house mother should give each
school child o little wicker lunch

Is much better than the leather and

OFFICIALS GRATIFIED
AT JAPAN-CHINA PACT
Document Contains No Secret Pro-
vision to Operate to the Disad-
vantage Of Other Powers.

Very gratifying to the officials here
is the Information received. unomcially.
from Japan that after all the secret
negotiations which characterized the
earlier stages of the preparation OF
the treaty between Japan and China
the completed document contains no
secret article Of provision which will
operate to the disadvantage of any OF
the other powers.
Even II the inclusion Of such pro-
vision, which in effect would be calcu-
lated to tighten Japan's hold upon
China, had been seriously considered,
1t Is gathered from the tone Of Japa-
nese comment, as conveyed to the State
Department, that the United States
note delivered at China and Japan in
the final stages of the negotiations
was regarded as a warning that the
United States would recognize no
treaty, agreement or convention that
interfered with the territorial integrity
of China the principles of the open
door and equal economic opportunity.
