IN MILITARY FASHION
sMARTEsT MILLINERY MODELS
ARE so TRIMMED.
Cooked Hats and Trioornes Echo
Spirit Of War-somber colors, Of
Course, Are Used in Ma
Iorlty Of Cases.

There is much charm in the CONT
mental hat, for the tricorne is, almost
without exception, one of the most be-
coming hats to all types Of beauty.
The smartest models are trimmed in
a truly military fashion with cockades
of ribbon, combining the colors of one
or other of the warning nations.
Fantasies of osprey, aigrette, para
disc or ostrich plumage, or the grace
full sweeping feathers of the humble
chanticleer, are also favorite trim.
mings for the tricorne.
There are also one point or unicOrne,
and bicorne hats, and hats with mush-
room brims turned down demurely,
like the anglers headgear.
A unicorne design of exceptional
smartness is developed in purple mir
ror velvet and trimmed with charm
ing butterfly bow of oxidized silver
ribbon.
Some of the newest aspects of the
feather trimmed millinery are seen in
the cog pompons that are arranged to
curl downward around the edge of the
brim. One or two of the latest models
are reminiscent of the dainty turbans
of the second empire, which were CO.
quettishly posed on the head, while the
feather itself curled in a fascinating
manner over the brim.
While somber colors seem to pre-.
dominate, now and then some coura-
geous milliner exploits a hat of velvet
or lusterless silk in a vivid tone Of red.
green or purple.
Gartbaldi red. which is a good, old
fashioned hue, is a favorite and 1t is
sometimes relieved by touches OF navy
blue or bersaglieri green.
There is also a general demand for
headgear in all shades of gray for the
costume of this conservative color is
to be most popular this autumn and
winter.
One of the jauntiest of the new pic
turesque hats is the cooked hat of dark
blue or black velvet. OF course, it is
trimmed with a cockade, quill or a
beaded ornament.
The ever popular black and white
hat continues to command its share Of
popularity. and we see street hats of
black velvet or satin trimmed with
white striped ribbon, white braid or
white beaded birds or flowers.
The hats ornamented with white
worsted embroidery. which earlier in
the season promised to win the ap-
prevail of smart women, have failed to
do so.

dered Released BY Federal
Judge Cochran.

Judge Cochran, Saturday, in the
Eastern District of the United States
Court at Covington, handed down an
opinion and order of release of Woo
Jan, merchant, of Ashland, Ky.
Woo Jan was arrested and charged
with being an alien, and subject to
deportation under the Chinese exclu-
sion act Of February 20, 1907.
Following his arrest he applied for
writ of habeas corpus and release
from the custody of Thomas Thomas,
United States immigration officer.
The record shows that on February
Is, 1894, the defendant registered as a
Chinese merchant at the office of the
Collector of Internal Revenue at Lex
ington, KY He has made three trips
to China, and, upon returning to AM
erica from the last trip he landed at
San Francisco, Cal, on May 2, 1913.
Judge Cochran's opinion is that ac-
ton against Woo Jan should not be

Dor, and that the jurisdiction in the
case should be with the Department
o, immigration.
Woo Jan has become wealthy as a
merchant and owns a beautiful home
