Although tie most of Us are re ioicing over our new winter cos tumes as advance yule-tide gifts from the head of the house. the shops have begun to display the fashions for spring, says our New York cores nondennt The finest of velvet hats trimmed and untrimmed are mark ed down below cost" so that the "counters may be cleared for spring and summer materials
 Now the first hints of spring come in darling little straw tooues and sport hats that will make their first appearance-outside of the shops at the fashionable winter resorts These are very simply trimmed, but show much originality in shape Needless to say, also. that they are marked with first-of-the-season prices
 Natural color straws are conspicu- ous among the new models, being trimmed with brown in many shades, all of them exceedingly effective Combinations of brown and green are also attractive. Sport hats in dark brown, blue and green are quite content to vie for popular favor ''on their shape" Variations of the trt- corne. the Georgette, the Cossack toque and OtFer small shapes are too numerous to mention and many will require particular care in selec- tion to prove becoming.
 Dresses are made in sheer fort materials, and there are eXouisite tailored effects in heavy linens, p;, at Attention iC call ed particularly to a model in Paisley printed chiffon, designed for din- ner wear The design is very small, in bottle green and water-blue and the chiffon is mounted over water blue satin. Where the chiffon stands away from the satin the soft green deepens very effectively and in the deep plaited tunic it shows again, There is a touch of mink fur-re- member they wore furs in Paris last July-and a belt of bottle green se- quins, dull of surface, charmingly en- crusted upon a ground of aluminium tissue. with here and there a ca bochon stone, dull and bright, in dull blues, browns and greens.
 Tbis design has many possibilities for the woman whose dress allow ance is limited; for instead Of the expensive passementeries Dresden silk may be used for the belt, and less expensive chiffon or printed brandy may be selected for the dress itself.
 The fall and winter developments of fashions leave but little doubt in any ones mind but that the full skirt is to have a triumphal career. Neither Russian peasant costume or Colonial frock is needed to accen- 'uate the conviction, though these styles are in the ascendency and quite attractive are they.
 Despite their quaintness. most of the overbodice and coatee effects are eminently wearable and truly charming Many are semi-fitting though retaining the large waist. Unusually good looking models have

In some localities the water will blacken it. if left standing in it, or if some kinds of food is cooked in it, owing to some chemical action of the ingredients of the water. If proper care is given it, as with silver, 1t can be kept very bright with little polishing powder
 One of the best remedies for con stipation is discriminate eating and plenty of suitable exercise together with drinking plenty of water at a comfortable temperature. Cold wa ter is not recommended, and many persons cannot drink water of the temperature that comes from the faucet, or spring, or well, but must have it slightly warmed. Water that stands in the room is not always best for drinking, owing to the fact that water quickly absorbs any dele terious odor or taint floating in the air, but 1t is usually about the right temperature.

 Of Max Linder, the Pathe star with whom Fairbanks audiences feel very we'll acquainted, the Dramatic Mirror of recent date said:
 For a week the world thought that Max Linder, the famous Pathe star, had been lost to the screen forever. several cables from Paris telling of his being killed in battle at the front But on Sunday the most famous comedian on the screen rose up in his wrath and denied that he was dead. The cable from Paris tells it this way: Max Linder tele- phoned from the military hospital at the front today saying that he was not even ill., but only convalescent. and soon will return to the service.
 Though only twenty-nine years old, Max Linder's contract with Pathe is said to bring him s70,000 a year. In addition to this his prominence on the European stage is thought to bring his income up to S1OO00O a year. Through Pathe's willingness 10 give publicity, Linder was among the first of the screen stars to have his identity known 10 photoplay fol lowers.
