Among the really new things that
have appeared on 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, it 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
it's 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
bead-covered balls fastened to the
brim at each side.
The black velvet hat at the left is
embroidered with a spiders web in

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 or
dress-and the decolletage is growing
round instead of V-shaped as the
season advances. Dimity and lowered
organdie find special favor and laven-
der-the color of colors in demure Vic
torian days-is particularly fashion
able.
The belle of 1920 yelled herself part
ly for coquetry and partly to protect
her complexion, for tan was consid-
cred a disgrace then, as rough, red
hands would be now. Over the quaint
poke bonnets of this summer will be
thrown graceful wells in bordered and
vine patterns and from the tiny hat
floats a short, fiaring veil such as the
1880 belle affected.

wooden yarn. This is spread over the
crown and part Of the brim. A large
and capable-looking fly is held on the
web by pin of which he is the head
Although provided with jeweled eyes
he seems to see no danger of becom'
ing entangled, or if he does he scornl
to heed it.
The story of bead ornaments is only
just begun and the idea is good one;
therefore there is every reason to be-
lieve that we shall see very interest
ing developments of it es 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 tho
body of hats make the best Of back
grounds for bead embroidery.

Suits for little boys under six, like
hose 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 wear
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 faculty for gathering it.
Two of the new models for little
boys suits are shown here. They
leave nothing to be desired in excel
lence of design, style or thoroughly
practical wearing qualities.
At the right a suit of linen rep is
pictured with collar and belt in plain
brown. Shocking across the front of
the blouse gives it the requisite full
ness. Straps of the white linen are
stitched to the blouse and support a
belt of the brown linen fastening with
three bone buttons at the front. The
collar is a small sailor pattern in
brown linen but the cuffs are made
Of the same linen as the suit.
At the left suit in the same color
combination is shown finished with
black buttons, and black silk tie.
The belt is posed lower on the figure
than in the other model and is sup
ported by narrow straps of the brown
linen sewed on at each side. A pocket
with flap finished with two buttons is
a smart and practical item in the de-
tail Of the blouse. The small tie does
not extend around the neck. 1t is

Warsaw, Aug 4. (delayed)-The net
is drawing tighter each moment. The
fall of the city is a matter of but a
few hours
Standing on the new bridge, one can
see the great German shells bursting
amid volcani fumes while the heavy
reverberations shake the city. Across
the Vistula hangs our observation bal
loon. while the sky is dotted with
German aeroplanes soaring hither and
thither among the smoke puffs and
bursting shaprnel from our guns
counted fourteen shells aimed at one
aeroplane.
From tho roof of the Hotel Bristol
is visible the smoke of burning build
ings in the suburbs. fired by shells
from the German artillery.
The city is deserted, save for the
Poles who intend to remain. The evac-
uation. save for the last of the infan-
try and guns seems to be practically
completed.
Last Train Departs.
The last train departed for Petro-
grad yesterday and the last to Brest-
Litovsk goes tonight.
Meantime, the German aeroplanes con-
tinue their senseless destruction of life
and property On Monday many bombs
we're dropped. and it is reported that
twenty-five people were killed. One bomb
fell between the Hotel D'L'europe and
the New Church. Others fell in all
quarters of the city.

is very depressing. Early today l
