The Goddess of Fashion appears to be taking a vacation. or perhaps she has abdicated: at any rate she is is suing few edicts. We do not hear thou shalt" or thou shalt not" and are left to do as we please, with world of new designs in hats and gowns to choose from. They include many beautiful things.
 In the early season there was a universal vogue for the black velvet hat. It is becoming thing, this black velvet hat, but when ninety-nine out of a hundred women wear it it becomes monotonous. The demand has swung away to black hats in plush and velours and to the dark col ors that look so well with the metal trimmings and handsome furs and feathers.
 Two hats are pictured here which are so good in shape and in design and in every particular that they may be chosen with the comforting con yiction that there is nothing better.

They are topped by one of those odd steel ornaments mounted on a stem. which look like nothing on the earth or in the air above it. Perhaps this is part of their fascination
 A hat of this kind must be devel- oped in materials of excellent quality and will be beautiful in dark-colored velvet with plumes in shades of the same color. or in black.

 Drying UpInM

@ ONCERNING a specific instance of the continuous decrease of
 surface water from the earth, ~ especially in Asia and Africa,
 the dry continents" Advocate Eugene N. Marais. R. J. P, writes from Rietfontein, Waterberg, South Africa, an astonishing article recently published in report of the Smithson- ian institution.
 After mentioning some of the gen. eral facts relative to the drying up of the whole earth, which, according to the French astronomer Flammarion, will ultimately cause the end of the world, the author cites number of appalling instances of the increasing dryness of Africa. N'gami, real lake less than fifty years ago, is now no more than a marsh threatened with speedy extinction, and Lake Rudolph is rapidly shrinking. which fact is alarming when it is realized that this body of water feeds the Nile and wa ters Egypt.
