PUTTING ON YOUR HAT.

A successful milliner makes the asser-
ton that ninety-nine in hundred women
don't know how to put on their hats And
as Just about ninety-nine in hundred
women have to put on their own hats.
this lack Of skill is almost deplorable.
The gravest fault in the way women
put on their hats Is that they don't put
them on far front enough. The hat must
como we'll down over the forehead. in
spite Of predictions made last year that
we would again show much Of the hair
under our hats. This prediction Is justi-
fed only in the case of the hats that tip
well up the back and show the hair there.
One reason why we don't get our hats
far front enough is that they aren't big
enough, very often. It is an economy.
il your head is unusually large. to have
your hats made to order. For then they
can be worn at the right angle and will
give the right appearance.
IF your hats are becoming they don't
need hair about the face to soften them
and make them more becoming II the
straight line of hat against skin is not be-
coming. don't pull out a fuzzy lock here
and there to soften the line. Instead,
make one curl in the middle Of the fore
head and pull it out so that 1t makes a
thin fuzz or bang all across the forehead.

but there should be a warning against
| pickpockets attached to the sale OF
every such bag.
In any large city it is best to keep
the purse as near the hand as pos
sible' and if a woman insists upon
swinging her bag far from the wrist

stract everything valuable from 1t her

bag itself, and she runs even the
| chance of that.

velvet, deliberately trimmed with fur,

! have sold neckpieces and hats to match.
! but it is a new idea to create purses
and hats in sets.
| This idea should also appeal to the
woman who is not in the large sets
and wants to keep up with the fash

att active accessories. 1t is just these
things which appeal to the large ma
| jority of women who are not In touch
with the cities and which are SO often
lost sight of in the large mass of DOM
| inant fashions.
A woman may not have the money to

bag out of odd pieces of velvet and
fur would suggest itself as an admir-
able opportunity to add to her costume.

in which the hat and bag are made

new blouse II reyiyes the hummer idea
! which has been made more of by the

makers this season. The foundation of
the blouse is of chiffon with the fash
ionable leg-o'-mutton sleeve, and the

black velvet embroidered with dark

The smart leather purse is unyield-

inside for anything. The bag OF vel

AUSTRIA ASKED TO
MAKE AN APOLOGY

Washington. June 30 r. The Ameri
can rejoinder to Austria regarding the
Austrian submarine attack on the
American steamer Petrolite. made
public by the state department, de.
scribes the act as "a deliberate insult
to the flag of the United States and an
invasion OF the rights OF American
citizens and requests a prompt
apology, punishment of the submarine
commander and payment Of indemnity.
In vigorous language the commune
cation sent a week ago makes it clear
that the United States government
believes the facts OF the case entirely
different from what the Austrian sub.
marine commander reported them to
he and that immediate amends are
expected.
The Austrian claim that the Petro-
lite's captain voluntarily gave up sup
plies taken from the steamer by the
submarine commander is fatty con
tradicted.
So also are the claims that warn
ing shots were fired across the Petro
lite's bow before she was shelled and
that her appearance was such as to
justify the submarine commander In
mistaking her for a cruiser.

FL Paso, Tex, June 30-Twenty.
three negro troopers of the Tenth
cavalry and Lem Spilisbury, Mormon
scout captured by the Mexicans at
Carrizal and subsequently, confined in
the Chihuahua pelitentiary, were
brought to the border and a short
time later turned over to the American
military authorities.
A shout of laughter arose from the
thousands of Juarez MeXicans who had
gathered to witness the arrival as the
negroes filed from the special train.
The prisoners were dressed in the
scantiest and most nondescript garb.
Several had on only trousers. One
wore a shirt, while a towel encircled
his waist Others heads were decor
ated with bandanas.
General Francisco Gonzales, Juarez
commander. and Andreas Garcia, Mex
lean consul in El Paso, met the train
which General Gonzales boarded.
A minute later he reappeared, fol
lowed by the guard that had escorted
the prisoners from Chihuahua.
The guard. dressed in uniforms OF
bright yellow. pushed back the crowd
forming a lane through which Spills
bury and the troopers marched down
the railway tracks.
The men were taken to the disin
fecting plant and there stripped and
treated before being escorted 10 the
commandancia.
At the commandment the soldiers
refused to discuss the Carrizal fight
their imprisonment or their return tc
the border.
Spillsbury was not uncommunica
tive, however
He entered the private office of Gen
eral Gonzales and there gave out g
brief interview in which he repeated
statements he had been credited with
making at Chihuahua by General ia
cinto TreyinO.
These statements were to the etfec

Americans at CarriZal, persisted In

Felix Gomez had warned him to turn
back and after Spillsbury had urget
him to accept this advice.
