SOME VERY QUEER COSTUMES
Gorgeous Raiment Has Been Common
to Many Famous Writers-Dis.
raeli's Green Velvet Trousers

The London Daily Chronicle. in its
interesting miscellaneous column,
says: "A liking of gorgeous raiment,
such as characterized Emile Verhae
rem in his youth, has been common to
many famous writer's. Disraeli as
young man startled the town by an
evening dress comprising green velvet
trousers, canary-colored waistcoat,
and a coat with lace cuffs. Dickens,
likewise. was fond of a certain bright
green waistcoat which he wore In
accompaniment with a vivid scarlet
tie, and he turned up at Frith's studio
one day in a sky-blue oYercOat with
red cuffs. Even more fearful and
wonderful was Dumas appearance al
an ambassadors reception in a shirt
on which were depicted number OF
little red demons disporting them
selves amid flames of yellow fire.
My costume was grand success he
wrote; everyone thronged round and
made much of me-"

The Copper Industry.

The copper industry and its meth
DDS of production are of exceptional
interest just now, owing to the de-
mand for this metal occasioned by the
European var as we'll as its extern
sive use in the commercial world for
many purposes.
To illustrate the modern methods
employed in mining copper, there has
ben constructed the most elaborate
mine model in existence at the muse
um of natural history of New York.
This represents quite a wonderful
piece of miniature panoramic view OF
the famous Copper Queen mine at
Bisbee, Ariz., which produces the larg-
est amount of copper of any in the
world. The gigantic model is II
shaped, 26 fec. long and 10 feet deep,
representing an area of 21,31O acres
of land. Three years of critical labor
was consumed in constructing this
model-World's Advance.

Grateful Hobo.

The subject of gratitude was being
discussed, and Congressman Samuel
E. Winslow of Massachusetts told Of
an incident that happened in New
England,
A weary-looking hobo begged for
something to eat at the back door Of
a suburban home, and was given a
whole mince pie. In less than two
hours he was back on the same door.

housewife answered the timid knock.

the hobo. MY partner saws YOU use

Love-.

Love has no doubts To itself love
is the very substance of reality. The
phenomena of sight, sound, touch and
their fellows are but the conditions
under which life has made foothold
for itself in this boisterous world; the
senses know nothing beyond their own
functioning, they have nothing to say
regarding the end or purpose of life.
But to love, all the labor and effort of
all the universe, with all its sideral
systems, with all its ethereal immens
ity, has been for the sake of producing
love.
OF what consequence is it. whether
insensible matter endure myriad
years, or assume infinite bigness, an
infnity of matter is as nothing. One
flash Of conscious life illumined by
love is worth all the patience, all the
effort, all the labor, of unconscious
energy throughout an infinity of time.
Consciousness is but minister to love,
to the love that is to be.-Atlantic
Monthly.

The lingerie hat is made Of fine,
sheer, cotton embroidery, lace or net,
and forms special kind of midsummer
millinery which reappears each year
The same kinds of embroideries and
laces that are used for making lingerie
gowns or fine underwear are used in
the construction of this very elegant
millinery; hence the name by which
it Is designated.
The lingerie hat has been in greatest
demand among those who require sew
eral hats for each season, and is one
Of those types made for the "exclus-
i've trade"-that is, for those who can
afford to indulge a taste for special
millinery to suit special seasons. They
are by no means inexpensive; but it
is the work required to make them.
rather than the materials used, that
makes them bring very good prices.
Two lingerie hats shown in the pic
ture given here are of the picturesque
type. At the left wide embroidery
of sheer batiste is shirred over a frame
smoothly covered with chiffon. The
row Of shirring lover a small cord) at
the base of the crown forms frill
wider than the brim Of the frame,
which falls prettily beyond the brim
edge and drops more at the back than
elsewhere. Here, from under the
brim, loops and long ends Of narrow
ribbon, in light color, hang nearly to
the waist line.
But the striking feature in this hat
The Caldwell watchman. (Columbia, La.) 1885-1946, 1915-06-11

lies in the trimming. Two peoples,
made of the embroidery with millinery
stamens at the center, are posed ex-
actly on top. This is an audacious pc.
sition, but warranted because of the
excellence and beauty of the flowers.
One cannot get in the picture the
sheerness of the embroidery which
makes the blossoms look like delicate
ghosts of the flaming flower they copy.
The second hat, of the small poke
bonnet type, is made of allover EN-.
broidery and narrow val lace. The
frame is covered with blue crepe, and
this forms facing. The upper brim
and crown are of the embroidery in an
open pattern. A frill of narrow val
lace finishes the edge, and there is a
collar and hanging ends Of black vel.

Without hope this vOyaging sphere

sense of reason; it fills youth with
golden-hued visions; it lures maturity
on to indomitable endeavor, which is
greater than mere accomplishment.

sometimes the parent of selfish ambi-

NOVEL FREAKS OF LIGHTNING
Common Trick Is That Of UNDRESSING
Its Human Victims-Few Queer
Instances Cited.

The antics played by lightning are
sometimes almost beyond belief A
common trick is that of undressing
its victims. In 1898 two girls and an
elderly woman were standing by a
reaping machine during a storm A
lightning flash struck the woman and
killed her on the spot, while the two
girls were stripped to the skin, even
their boots being torn from heir feet.
Otherwise they were safe and sound
but astonished.
In 1855 man was struck BY light
ming near Vallerois, in France, and
stripped naked All that could be
found afterward of his clothes was a
shirt sleeve, few other shreds and
some piecea Of his hob nailed boots.
Ten minutes after he was struck he
regained consciousness, opened his
eyes, complained of the cold and in.
quired Row he happened to be naked.
Such instances have been recorded
again and again. In one case a man
and two oxen were struck simultane-
ously, and all three killed. The man
was found stripped to the skin and
his boots had been carried thirty
yards away

Of black and white combinations give
one wide choice whether the taste
is quiet or gay.
The WCrumbo sport coat shown
here is in black and white, cut on easy
and rather vague lines. 1t is drawn In
a little by a wide belt of the fabric at
the normal waist line. White silk
braid Is used for binding the collar and
cuffs. Two large and very practical
pockets add definitely to the charac-
ter of the coat The convertible collar
may be turned up about the throat and
buttoned to place.
The hat, of white corduroy velvet, Is
trimmed with a band and C0ckade OF
white ribbon. White gloves and
shoes, either of kid or canvas, are in
keeping with the rest of the toilette
and complete a midsummer garb that
is thing of beauty and joy for all
outings.
