TriumphS in Tailored Hats.

After all Is said and done, the
smart tailored hat holds the center
Of the stage In the drama of millinery,
just as the best tailored suits are
paramount in the world of apparel.
These are the two items that should
receive first consideration In every
womans mind whenever she turns her
attention to her wardrobe. 1t is bet
ter to economic in dressy clothes
than in those intended for street wear
and in the latter, style and good work
manship are essentials, which women
should be willing to pay for.
Whether we like il or not, we must
reconcile ourselves to some advance
in prices for both tailored suits and
hats. 1t is impossible to produce them
as cheaply as in former years, yet
millinery has advanced less in price
than almost any other article that
women wear.
Three handsome tailored hats are
shown above. The model at the left
is Of black straw braid with bell crown
and narrow mushroom brim. 1t has
a strictly tailored trim of white gros-
grain ribbon and is hat that is be-
coming to almost every face. The hat
at the center of the group is an adap-
tation of the "coolie" hat from China
and is intended for youthful wearers.
On a black straw or satin turban the
coolie crown-covered with even rows
Of narrow ribbons-is posed at jaun.
ty angle. The finish is as 1t should Dc
a handsome tassel.

Pat called an immediate meeting Of
the Apackes to discuss plans for their
evening at the Garden. Word had
come to her that fake benevolent So
ciety had been preying upon the poor
for some time, collecting money that
was squandered in hilarious sessions
that the notorious resort held.
'They have Just made an extra
heavy haul, and will sQuander the
funds tonight" was the concluding
paragraph In the report that came to
the queen Of the Apaches.
Pats plans were carefully outlined
at the meeting In the House Of Mys-
terry.
The Garden cafe was a notorious
place where all sorts Of people mingled
under the bright lights.
ut can do no harm to give the
place a good cleaning out, for once"
said Pat.
The Garden was having a big night
when Pats men began to assemble,
just after eleven o'clock. The "benev-
client" society was out in force to en-
Joy the pleasures their ill-gotten
money was to provide.
Shortly after Pat arrived In her au-
tomobile, she saw Phil Kelly enter,
with one of his men, and take a seat
not far from the entrance.
Pats men had arrived by twos and
fours, distributing themselves at vari.
Gus tables throughout the restaurant
More Of them had climbed to the roof
by the fire-escapes, and were ready tc
descend upon the crowd at the ap
pointed moment.
Kelly was chatting with his assist
ant, and enjoying the fun the dancers
were furnishing, when a waiter hand
ed him a card. The Sphinx eyed the
pasteboard curiously and then read
IF you are wise, you will not inter
fere."
At that instant every light in the
place was extinguished. Womer
screamed with fright, and the men a
the tables showed back their chairs
instinctively rising to their feet.
When the lights went up, Us sudden
ly as they had gone out, men in purple

capes and hoods that masked their
faces formed a circle around the crowd
at the tables. Each man held two re-
volvers pointed threateningly at the
assemblage.
There was a girlish figure in purple
tights and cape, with a purple mask
across the face, that moved rapidly
among the tables. Two men who at
tended her placed their guns threat
eningly under the noses of the guests
as Pat held out purple sack and COM
manded:
drop your money in here. Give
up what you have collected" And in
the surprise of the threat, and under
the menace of Pats Apaches, the men,
bers of the benevolent society" sur
rendered their spoils.
''This all goes to the poor" said Pat
when it came Kelly's turn to contrib
ute. And the Sphinx emptied the con-
tents of his pockets into the bag.
There was the sudden call of shrill
whistle. The lights again went out,
tendants reached the switchboard and
flashed them up again, Pat and her
Apaches were retreating from the cafe
still covering the crowd with their re-
volvers.
The members of the benevolent So
ciety" with their ladies undertook to
follow, but were held at bay while Pat
and her men gained automobiles that
stood ready, with engines running, to
hurry them away.
| Kelly and his men rushed away in
pursuit Of the Apaches, but they soon
realized that they were foolish to at
tempt, on foot, to catch the speeding
machines.
CHANGING upward, by merest chance,
Kelly saw a half-dozen men descend
ing from the roof by the fire-escape.
The detective halted and watched the
direction the Apaches took in running
away from the scene of their adven-
ture.
They saw the first man as he darted
from an alley into the main road and
sped away. Kelly made dash for the
entrance to the alley and intercepted
three of Pats men before they could
escape.
The Apaches put up stiff fight, but
Kelly and bis men subdued two of
them and marched them off to police
headquarters. The Sphinx had some
thing at last to show for his contest
of wits with the Purple Mask.
When Kelly, the next morning, re-
ported to the police as complainant
against the men he had captured. the

Well CARRIED to Meet Easter.

Every tailored suit must stand the
acid test of the most discriminating
Of all publics when it comes to the
matter of suits. Long ago America
won pre-eminence In this regard and
not even Paris disputes 1t. Here Is
pictured one of the new spring models,
In which any woman will delight to
meet Easter. Even brief glance at
1t reveals special features in its CON
struction that will appeal to women
with a fine sense of clothes.
To begin with, 1t is made of wool
poplin In tan (Which it is fashionable
to call sand COLOR, and 1T bespeaks
the springtime. 1t is trimmed with
stitched buttons and they can't be ex-
scelled for imparting finished smart
ness.
The jacket is plain and beautifully

Marrow Toes for Shoes.

Those who make women's shoes
prophesy even a narrower toe for the
spring than we have worn heretofore.
1t was thought by the women that
ugliness in this line had gone far
enough. Those who wore No. 4 now
have TO wear No. 8, on account of the
sharply pointed toe. 1t may be that
we will revive the medieval shoe along
with the medieval clothes, if fauat.-
cism goes much farther.

shaped at the front. At the back,
plaits extending from the waistlne 10
hem acknowledge the sway of this
feature In spring styles.
The skirt has plaits at each side at
the back and front and a loose belt
about the waist. The strap trimming
appears In the hips, and 1t Is as eff
fective here as on the coat. The
length as shown in the picture is cor
rect, bringing the edge Of the hem an
inch or so below the shoetops.
A detachable collar and vestee Of
white pique is to be worn with this
suit, or this dainty addition may be
made of organdie or crepe. By this
means the touch of immaculate fresh
ness is always possible, and nothing
is more dear to the heart of women.

STEEL THAT WON'T
 RUST MADE IN U. s.

Cutlery made of steel that neither rusts nor tarnishes is now being sold in all first class shops. "The new steel say the Scientific American, was discovered in England, but is now teing made in the United States and sold as table cutlery. It is what is commonly called an alloy steel; that is, it differs from ordinary steel in that it contains a special element or metal. In this case it is chromium, which is mainly responsible for bestowing the stainless and rustless properties. By incorporating from 12 to 13 per cent of this metal in mild carbon steel the inew properties are obtained. An Eng | fish metallurgist, in gathering togeth- CT some rods of steel which had lain long time in his laboratory, noticed that while most of them were badly rusted or stained, few were as bright as when originally made. This led to the present discovery and manufac- ture of the steel.
 The new steel is more expensive than the old which usually appears in the everyday table knife. Its advant- ages and lasting qualities as well as it's appearance and the convenience arising from it's use more than offset the extra cost. The fact that it does not tarnish, stain or corode augments it's value decidedly. It is supplanting not only the old steel cutlery, but also the plated. It's possibilities, however, are by no means limited to cutlery. One can readily imagine to what count less uses stainless and rustless metal can be put"

h HALiBUT CLOSED
 SEASON AGITATED
December January and February Are Suggested as The Proper
 Months

According to a report the halibut fishing companies of Vancouver, B. C., expect that the Canadian and Ameri- can Governments will shortly reach an agreement for a close season on the halibut banks of the Pacific coast, to cover two or three months each year, and to run for an extended term of years. It has been proposed that De- cember, Panuary and February be the close season months, and there is a possibility, still somewhat indefinite, that the restrictions upon halibut fish ing will go into force this year.
 Representations have been made to Ottawa by the fishing companies talk ing halibut. asking for a close season in order to protect the industry. Am erican companies also approached Washington. The United States Gov ernment has already announced it's willingness to comply with the request provided that Canada would do the same. At Ottawa the department showed some desire to set a close sea- son which would cover two or three years and would vary with the differ ent halibut banks. The halibut in- terests promptly objected, however, on the score that the industry would be disrupted and with varying seasons on the banks, halibut fishing could not be economically carried out Up to the present the Dominion departemnt has not yet taken any definite action, but it is expected will fall into line with the Washington proposals, which are in accord with those made by the con- panies, both Canadian and American, and provide short close season every year.
 It is pointed out that while no notic- cable difference in the quantity of hal ibut on the banks will be obtained for several years such a season, if con. sinued for an extended period, will ev- entually have the effect of restoring the halibut banks to their original con- dition and will keep them in that state.
 In addition the industry will be ben cited, it is claimed, as winter fishing is expensive, the fish are not in extra good condition, as that is their spawn ing season, and the winter market is
