Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. January 1o.-A blue
straw hat trimmed with roses has ap-
peared as the herald of the spring.
This is trick of the milliners. Women
themselves are rejoicing in the fact
that their winter hats will now see
service, but the milliners are trying to
persuade them that their day Is done
and that new one dawns.
This is good business and it also
stimulates curiosity. OF course. there
is a seemingly sound argument for the
introduction of straw hats in January.
which is that the world that goes south
to amuse itself must be we'll dressed.
Judging from gossip. this world IS
going to be very large one, for even
though conditions of travel to Europe
are better now than they were a year
ago, there is no one going over for
pleasure. The Italian Riviera and the
Mediterranean trip offer few induce
Inents, except for those who are going
to work or report.
There is always q world that must be
amused, which to the majority means
a change of environment. The south
offers every kind of inducement. and
the report is that the hotels are crowd
ed and all the houses taken. Acting on
such report. the dressmakers and MILL
ners have busted themselves with new
things.
There is to be an important season
in White Sulphur. Hot Springs, Palm
Beach and in Aiken and Augusta
Aiken is the one place which the MILL
ners and dressmakers have ceased to
consider as a good, sporting PROPOSE
and shaded roads the fashionable peo-
pie of America frequent, but they hold
to the simplicity of country clothes.
Return to an Old Shape.
The hat which is shown in the sketch
today is the first of the new straw
shapes, and it is strongly reminiscent
of what was worn four summers ago.
IT is of fine blue straw. has a high
crown, narrow brim and the trimming
massed on top, the pink roses are
large and firm and the central stem Is
held up to an unusual height above the
crown. This Is only another straw
which shows that fashion allows us to
wear cartwheels or Eiffel towers.
The huge. fiat hat of velvet or silk
with colored flowers p1astered around
its crown. is just as popular as
though the extra high hat had not been
invented. Over and over. during the
fSlNleEd SedSOH, FdrlS mas
launched this hat that is sketched to-
day Few people think it is lovely,
but many think 1t is smart. 1t has
trying lines, but it can be jauntily
worn by woman who knows how to
pose the right hat over her face.
The posing of a hat is difficult
matter, every one knows who has
studied the question, and the woman
who has any intention of adopting this
first straw hat must be sure of her
talent in this direction. The colors in
this hat, the combination of pink and
blue. are significant. because there is
an evidence throughout the dress world
that these two colors. in brilliant
shades. are to be used in everything
this spring.
There is a deep tone Of pink like a
Killarney rose. that has a sheen of
silver on II in a certain light, which
is made up into a dance frock on sim
pie lines; the taffeta is used for the
bodice as well as the skirt. and to it is

FANCY NEEDLEWORK FOR WINTER.

To work French knots successfully
the piece should be placed in an en-
broidery frame. Hold the needle in
the right hand and wind the thread
away from you four times around the
needle. Put the needle back to the
wrong side at the point where it was
brought through (holding the thread
tightly between the thumb and fore
finger of the left HANDY and draw all
the thread through to the wrong side.
Then bring the needle up on the right

It seemed as If the designers had ex-
hausted the possibilities Of the center
piece and dolly sets. but the new ones
show a very original touch. A most
attractive set is made in the form of
a cross and has four octagonal doilies
which fit into the corners. The edges
are worked in loop or blanket stitch,
and the design is done in French knots
and chain stitch The flowers of the
design are made of two shades of pink

Steamed Halibut.

Select a three-pound piece of white
halibut; cover It with cloth and place
it in a steamer; set the steamer over a
pot of fast boiling water and steam two
hours Place it on a hot dish, sur
rounded with a border of parsley, and
serve with egg sauce.

Then, too, stripes are being shown for
the balance of The winter and spring. and
stripes are always becoming, especially
to stout figures. These stripes are not as
sharply defined as were those Of last sea-
son, but they are dull and rich as to
hue, and one stripe is generally made up
of groups of small ones, or 1t Is decorat-
ed with floral or some other small and
bright hued design.
This dress would be very attractive
made up In brown check. with a brown
leather belt and either white or ecru or
brown diaphanous under blouse or
guimpe. If the guimpe is to be the same
color as the dress it may merely consist
OF yoke and sleeves.
A very pretty trimming would be folds
of brown around the skirt, or brown
braids used as trimming.
The design liz suitable for any simple
dress. whether of the rougher classes Of
heavy silks. taffeta, tweed. serge. mix
lures in woods and such frmer weaves
of cotton goods as are used in making
up dresses for grown girls and small
women.

White Hats for the South.

The verdict of Paris in August that
white would be worn this winter is
now coming true in America. Skating
has also helped the fashion. Among
all the costumes of the day, white hats
are plentiful. The very smart ones are
turbans of panne velvet trimmed with
gold braid and brown fur.

EDITORS ARE
 DISAPPOINTED IN
 HUGHES SPEECH
Even Republican Papers Lament His Failure to
 Set Forth an Issue
DEMOCRATIC PRESS
 SEES VICTORY
 IN ITS WEAKNESS
Republican Candidate Offers Country No Improvements Over Policies
 of Democratic Administration

That Mr. Hughes speech accepting ident has not been well received by the American people. regardless of party affiliations, is pretty generally reflected by the editorial opinions of the countrys representative newspa- pers.
 Some newspapers of MT. Hughes own party faith have expressed their disappointment. Others have gone further and disavowed it as an utter ance of their party. Democratic newspapers have received it with glee, for the reason that it offers no alter natives better than the policies of MT. Wilson's administration which Can didate Hughes attacked with such partisan vindictiveness.
 When such a newspaper as the New York Tribune, the paper of Whitelaw Reid, the acknowledged or gan of Republican administrations for years, frankly says it is not pleased with MT. Hughes failure to disclaim the Haunted support of the German American Alliance, there is little wonder that apathy is settling over the Republican campaign. Indeed, many persons have been turned away from the Republican party by MT. Hughes utter failure to specify wherein he would have acted differ ently from the course of President Wilson, or to offer a future remedy for the alleged ills he lays at the door of Democracy.

Rain Storm Gives
 Relief From Heat

A damage-creating storm that pass ed over Bridgeport yesterday after noon temporarily brought surcease from the heat that has ranged about the sos for the last three days.
 Bridgeport was about "all in" yes- terday when, the storm broke sudden ly, flooding the streets with water and perceptibly cooling lnings. Just ue-' fore the deluge an unknown man at Knowlton street and East Washing ton avenue was overcome, but refused treatment or to divulge his identity to the ambulance corps that was sum- moned.
 Lightning struck the cupola on the home of D. c. Wheeler, 763 Noble ave- nue, shocking several workmen engag- ed in repairing the house while the family was absent. A chimney on the house owned by Charles Clarkson. 303 Shelton street, was struck. Soot was blown all over the interior.
 Fuse boxes in the power house ana on trolley cars throughout the city were burned out temporarily.
 Material damage was done to the new Warrenite pavement on the Har- rison street hill, where water seesed beneath a manhole covering opposite Elm street, raising it above the sur rounding surface and waving large stretch of the pavement which will have to be repaireG
 At Greenfield Hill, where frank furter roast was in progress at the Greenfield Country club, the festivities were broken up last night by a sec ond storm which broke with a deluge of rain.
 Lights at Poli's theatre were ex- tinguished yesterday afternoon while motion picture was being shown. The orchestra played to calm the aud- fence.
 For two hours East Main street bus mess houses had to get along without electric lights, Gas and oil lamps were utilized.
 Wires were down between Maple and Arctic street and at Arctic and East Main street.

HARVARD

The first commencement of Har-
 ard College. the first of the education- al institutions of the United States, was held 274 years ago to-day. Aug. g. 1642. Nine young men comprised the first class of graduates, In 1886 the general court of Massachusetts agreed to give 400 pounds towards a schoale or colledge," and the next year order ed that the institution be established at "Newetowne." In 1888 John liar yard, preacher, died and beQueathed about $700 to the college to be built at Newtown. In his honor the institu- tion was named Harvard College. while the name of the town was changed to Cambridge. in honor of the great Eng fish university. It is doubtful if the original grant of $40O was ever actu- ally paid, and. in any event. the col lege project remained in abeyance un- til the bequest of Harvard at once in itiated the necessary measures. The original fund was added to in various ways, and much money was raised by lotteries. Henry Dunster. Hebrew scholar, was chosen first president. and a class began a course of study in 1898, and nine graduated in 1642. All of the members of this class are dead.

One Hundred Years Ago.
nEN. BERNARD IN WASHINGTON

Gen. Bernard. late a neut.-general !n the French army, is now in Washington. and we understand had accepted an appointment in the En- sheer Department of our army. We remember the testimonials of his merits, which were before Congress during the last session. In Europe, Gen. B. Is acknowledged to be one of the most distinguished military en- gineers of the age, man of pro- found learning in. most branches of natural philosophy, possessing a great nrmness of mind and simplicity of manners. In all the late campaigns under Napoleon, he was attached to the military cabinet of the Emperor. Gen. Bernard is the first foreign off, cor who has been admitted into the military service of the United States. He declined, 1t has been stated, very fattering overtures from some Euro pean sovereigns, and rendered his ser vices to our government. and Con- gress, sppreciaung the value of his talents to our military youth. passed a. special act for his admission.

Party's Collective Wisdom.

From St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Ind. )
 MT. Hughes has had the benefit of counsel from the entire party in pre- pairing his speech. He has included in it views to which, it may be sus- pected, he is not particularly hospit- able, but which he has endorsed to make the speech representative of all shades of opinion and all hopes of success. The speech represents the collective wisdom of the Republican party and it's shrewdest leaders.
 And the result is disappointment "a speech of negatives and of vague

Concrete Statement Lacking.

From the Chicago Herald, (Ind.)
 We search in vain for a concrete statement of what MT. Hughes would have done had he been in MT. Will sons place and under his responsibil- ities He does not even affirm that he would have accepted Huerta's ac- cession, without too nice inquiry into the manner of it, as MT. Hayes did that of Diaz nearly forty years ago.

A Spirit of Fault-Finding.

From Cleveland Plain Dealer (Ind. )
 Judge Hughes has delivered an orr dinary political stump speech, longer than the ordinary campaign address, better worded than the average; but merely an appeal, and nothing more. to the spirit of minimizing partisan ship that desires to see "the old par ty'' back in the seat of power He has gone out into the highways and byways of narrow gauge politics, gathering gossip and working it, with what skill he could summon, into a broadside attack upon the president he would supplant.
 Practically the whole effort is one of fault-finding. From start to fin ish it is destructive. Nowhere does the candidate rise to the dignity of making specific constructive sug- gestion.

The Old Adage Fits.
From the Boston Post, (Dem.)

T ETUII CI6 bUStOII TOSt, NDtII.T : MT. Hughes is lawyer enough to know the old adage, When you have a poor case,, abuse the other side.'' He has not hesitated to adopt it. He tries to tear down. but he has no sug- gestion for building up.
 It is but just to say that the can didate has made an earnest and stu dious essay at a hard task. But it is no trumpet call, there is in it not a motive nor phrase nor a note to arouse the already rather dispirited Republicans to ardor and the flame of enthusiasm.

A Foreign Made Candidate. From the Louisville Courier-J Jour-

looms an issue of transcendent im- portapce. That is the intrusion of a sinister foreign element to our domes- tic affairs which is subtle, far-reach= ing and dangerous in the highest de- gree. Bluntly stated, it is, shall we elect our own President, or shall he come in bearing the brand, Made in Germany"
 We need not and do not impeach the Americanism of MT. Hughes. But we do impeach the patriotism of the Republican politicians who nominated him. Their purpose was to conceal their factional discords behind a neu- tra1 candidate and their most conf1- dent asset is the German-American vote.

How much more inspir- ing llsi utterances would have been if he had outlined a constructive pro- gramme and offered remedy for what he considers the dangerous pol icies of President Wilson. As it is his speech is base political stuff which will appeal only to the deep-dyed partisans of the Republican party.
