Patriotic Millinery.

To please American women who de-
mand hats in harmony with the patrl-
otto spirit of the time, leading New
York milliners are following the mill
tary mode in creating design suitable
for winter wear. The chic steel-helmet
effect, turbans and pompons, reminis-
cent of the trenches and worn by many
fashionable women, are to be super
seeded by the more unitarian Texan
sombrero in smaller design, close re-
sembling the campaign hat of the
United States marine.
In the effort of New York designers
to establish a distinctively American
style devoid of foreign suggestion, the
headgear of the composite soldier and
sailor has proved desirable model.

OWNING a Ship,

Owning ship is today equivalent to
possessing diamond mine or being a
star actor for a movie.
1 shall tell you what happened to
one ship owned by Philadelphia
The facts were given to me by the
president of one of the half-dozen large
banks in the city.
Two months ago this ship, which
originally cost $250,000, was sold for
$35O,000. The new owner then char
tered it at $4,000 month.
A second buyer then appeared, who
gave bonus of $4,000 for the boat
Very shortly he resold the property
for which he had paid 100000, for
$775,000.
The present owner has chartered his
ship for a year at $4,000 a month, or
$4S0,000.

ONLY BOYHOOD MEMORY NOW
Writer Recalls Old Tin Safe That
Stood In the Dining Room and Was
Forerunner of Icebox.

Remember the old tin safe that
stood in the corner of the dining room?
1t is still in use to some extent in
the country, but we in the city do not
encounter it so frequently as formerly
The icechest has taken it's place, and
the china closet and the pantry have
made it obsolete for the most part.
But it was a wonderful invention in it's
day-and the cold food you could sneak
out of it when nobody was looking was
the best food in the world, remarks
the Dayton CO., News.
A flimsy sort of thing so far as the
woodwork was concerned; cheap pop
lar lumber stained with a cheap var
nish-that is about all it amounted to,
with sheets of tin punched full of tiny
holes like a nutmeg CRATER. 1t was or
namental, all right, with all of its
shortcomings, for the holes were
punched after pattern, and it had
pleasing effect because you knew
what it contained. Why, there was
the sugar bowl on the top shelf; they
always put the sugar bowl as high as
possible, just so a chap would have
to get a chair to stand on when he
wanted to investigate.
If the ants discovered the safe, the
legs had to be placed in a little re-
ceptacle with kerosene in them. Flies
could not get through the small holes
In the tin, but the gnats passed
through readily and found delight in
the apple sauce that was in evidence
along about This time of the year.
Gnats certainly liked apple sauce, but
boy didn't care anything about
gnats when he wanted apple sauce.
Mother was somewhat artistic in her
tastes. She scalloped red or pink It's
sue paper and placed it upon the
shelves, so the edges would drop down
and present a pleasing, wavy picture
when the safe was opened, but news
papers were used upon the shelves
folded neatly and pressed down fiat.
Shere was sort of sacred at
mosphere surrounding the old tin safe.
1t was the most used and the most
useful piece Of furniture about the
home. The children sought 1t when
NOBODY else was present, and half bur-
rowed themselves in its generous cav
tues. And now-just think-we
haven't seen an old tin safe for a gen
