Far removed from simplicity and re-
jOicing in picturesque lines and mate
rails are the fashion tendencies that
predominant in millinery. Flowers and
fruits, ostrich plumss and ribbons in
every variety, are assembled and
shown on hats large and small The
new millinery modes are charming and
in variety they are fairly bewildering
But however much we are distracted
by the great number of styles, of one
thing we cannot fail to be assured
There is little room OF place in them
for plain, meagerly trimmed hats.
The most noticeable thing in the dis
plays for spring is, in fact, the number
OF models which appear to have come
from designers who dare to be indie
pendent of each other. But they all
seem to be fairly revealing in the wealth
of materials at hand, and are making
prOdigal use of them.
Three beautiful hats are shown here
that illustrate very clearly the vogue
OF picturesque millinery. At the CEN
ter is large hat Of black horsehair

Welsh Songs Promised.

A Cardiff correspondent of an Eng
.lish newspaper says:
"Cymric ardor on the battlefield is
going to be inspired and sustained by
Cymric music. Not the least impress
sive sight today, and during the past
week. among the Welsh units training
at Porthcawl has been the gathering
of the soldiers for choral singing.
When the new Welsh army of 10000
men take the field it will go to battle
to the sound of a Cymric war chorus.
which experts have described as the
finest martial music IN the world.
THE organization just formed is
known as the Welsh Army Male Voice
chorus, and as the recruits include
some of the finest singers in the
Welsh valleys, men who have COM
peted in scores of Eisteddfods. the SOL
diers' practice sings at Portheawl par
take OF the character of first-class
concerts, which attract to the vicinity
of the hall large numbers of residents
of the town and visitors.

patriot, is distributing a fine selection
OF Welsh war songs, with request
for the rendering of these and less

The way to destroy the mosquito In
its larval stage is to pour a little ker-
osene on the surface of the pool or

Now that Fashion allows US to
choose between the coat suit and the
trock with separate coat, the separate
coat is a matter that must be serious
ly considered. Hardly any wardrobe
but must possess two separate coats
Of some kind. One Of them viii take
the place of the suit coat, while the
other, according to the needs of its
owner, will be chosen for dress occa-
sions for which the suit coat is not
quite elaborate enough. or for hard
wear where the suit coat does not 1T

Among the smartest models in the

Rome, May 27.--Pope Benedict
makes an explicit denunciation oil

sells and the use of asphyxiating gases
in warfare, in a letter to Cardinal
vannutelli. dean OF the Sacred Col.
lege. published today in the Osser.
vatore Romano, the Vatican official
organ.
The Pope says he has been prevent
ed by weil-known sorrowfui events
from holding the consistory set for
June. and, therefore, decided to write
to Cardinal Vannutelli. as he will not
be able to address the assembled
cardinals. The ontiff recalls his APP
peal to the beliigerents. to put an
end to the war which has been dis
honoring Europe since he issued his
first encyclical.

Of offense contrary to humanity and

The Pontiff adds that besides ths

Pope Benedict concludes by exhort.
ing all tn faithful to pray to God
