there could be no such

OF course. the Riviera was struck
the same sweeping blow that struck all
France across her brave, aStOnished
face. At the clang of the tOcSin, the
men of the Midi ran out into the
streets of picturesque rock villages
among the hills and tourist towns
along the sea, as the men of the North
were doing. But the Riviera thrilled
under the menace of Il peril all her
own. Just across the beautiful Gorge
of st. Louis lived n friend who might
in an hour become an enemy. Italy
was there, with her mountain forts
looking towards the forts of France.

votion TO winter, are shown in the

hats of many other things. They are
not the hats of summertime, but will
not find themselves out of place under
sunny skies. Neither are they winter
hats. yet they are not too airy and
fragile to face snow fiurries. They are
hats of the demi-season, and you may
wear u fur scarf or no scarf at all with
them.
At the left hat of natter blue
faille silk is shown, embellished with
black silk soutache braid and lovely
little handmade roses of silk. They
are In a soft rose color and are set
fiat against the hat. A lot of fine
handwork makes this an expensive bit
of luxurious headwear. but its excuse
for extravaganza Is its loneliness.
At the center of the group is hat Of
black satin, simple -brimmed
shape. It's claim to originality rests
upon the deep flounce of black lace
that falls from the top Of the crown. 1t
falls over a collar Of silver ribbon, and
terminates Mt each side of the front.
The collar is finished with the sim

MANY HOME GARDENS
Reports Indicate That Movement Has
Taken Firm Hold in Large
Western Cities.

An inquiry recently sent out by the
American National Bank to many large
cities has brought much valuable in
formation in regard to the movement
for back yard and vacant lot gardens.
Perhaps the most striking instance re-
ported is that OF Denver, Col, where
the water company has organized a
garden department. TO each of It's
customers the Denver Union Water
Company gives the privilege of using
water without charge on one vacant
lot for growing vegetables. In the re-
port 1t is shown that over $500 people
have taken advantage Of this offer.
The interest awakened has been so
marked that one OF the principals of
the city schools has been relieved OF
his duties and assigned to take charge
of this garden work. Several other
cities IN Colorado have been moved to
join in this movement for increased
production.
The principal of the school at Cald-
well. Idaho, emphasizes the good effect
of this garden movement for city
beautiful in the following statement:
This movement has done more to i'm

than anything that has ever happened
