The hat with tho large brim, which
is now worn at restaurant dinners and
suppers where there Is no dancing,
carries the great, brocaded crown band
better than any other shape. AS far as
fashion has gone for trimming, the ma
jority of women look askance at a hat
that is thus loaded down with fnery,
but the milliners insist that as time
goes on we will give more cordial
reception to hat accessories and con-
slider the fringed crown band quite SIM
pie indeed.
The hat which IS shown in the sketch
is big enough to have created storm
of criticism at any other epoch, but no
one seems to have time or opportunity
to cavil at the fashions today. The
critics are all engaged in attacking
more important measures.
The brim of this black satin hat
sweeps out to elongated points on each
side, for 1t is expected of all hat sill
houettes that they show more breadth
crosswise than lengthwise. The crown
of this hat is quite high, and the gor-
geous scarf around it is Of gold and
black brocade. forming q streamer at
one side that is edged with deep black
and gold fringe.
1t is said that France drew the in
spiration for this hat from our pic
turesque western life.

FASHIONS

Clever little vests are features OF a
great many of the smartest dresses now
shown, especially the latest numbers
that indicate to some extent the style
trend for spring. 1t is interesting also to
note that advance spring models that
have as yet made their appearance lean
strongly to straight-line effects. Some
sort of belt or girdle is often noted; but
the waist line is merely indicated. not de-
fined, and straight-line simplicity prom

The sketch illustrates a good looking
little utility dress that might be de-
yeloped now and worn throughout the
winter and coming spring. With navy
blue serge as the fabric for the dress
proper, white satin or white broadcloth

around the back OF the bodice.
The long shoulder is feature OF this
frock, and as will he noted, the sleeves
are long and close fitting.
The little one-piece slipover frocks have
won what seems to be a permanent place
for themselves in the feminine fancy, and
their popularity is certainly merited.

WAR AND JEWELRY.

II any one had asked you when the
on jewelry. wouldn't you have said
that it would be rather to diminish
the amount Of this adornment worn by
women than to increase It? In fact.
when we first entered the war there
was some well intentioned woman who
came forth and earned herself a brief
moment of publicity by suggesting that
while the war lasted women should
wear no jewelry whatever.
Now any one who observes fashions
and fancies realizes that the vogue for
jewelry has in no way abated and that
rather more jewelry is worn now than
IN previous seasons. Wearing jewelry
is like eating yenison and green turtle.
II you have the money to buy it it is
the must patriotic thing you can do
for the reason that you are depriving
no needy one by SO doing. II you buy
four or five winter wooden coats and
keep them for your own use this win
ter II, might be said that you were ex-
tremely selfish and not patriotic. Be
cause the public spirited folk are
buying for themselves only a reason
able amount Of wool and are seeing
that the rest of their wooden purchases
goes to those who need it. But If you
buy jewelry that you can we'll afford
you are depriying no one
1t is obvious that this Christmas the
young woman who receives a piece OF
jewelry for holiday present is pos

war has brought into vogue the locket

to the girls they leave behind them and
soldier girls masculine lockets to the
boys who brayely leave them behind
The locket counter In the jewelry
stores you will notice Is always crowd

men in khaki.
The masculine 1ocket often takes the
form of fob. that opens as locket

uniform by means OF a small tape.
OF course. the wrist watch for men
and for women as a matter Of imita-
ton, has greatly come into favor since
the war and small piece of jewelry
that is much in demand Is the gold OF

OF Interest TO Women
THE QUESTION OF MILLINERY TRIMMING.
By ANNE R1rrENHousr.

NEW YORK. December 1o-Do you
remember the time when q hat was

whom the trimming had not been
bought or applied7
| Do you remember when you bought

as to Its suitability and expended most
Of your time and money on flowers,
ribbons, quilts and passementerie: And
do you remember when all Of that kind
Of garnishing went out and the plain
hat came In?

ushered in the untrimmed hat was q

Ralph Dobson Injured Yesterday Morn

Near White Elk
Vineyard.

Attempt to Get Him Into Town Where
He Could be Cared for 10 Re
buffed BY Brutal
Auto Driver.

y Ralph Dobson was shot through the
foot yesterday morning while hunting
out near the White Elk vineyard. How
the accident happened no one seems
to be able to tell exactly. There were
three others in the party, and they
were coming down the vineyard and
sat down at one end Of the row to rest.
When they got up one of the guns IN
some manner wens off. Dobson did
now know he was hurt until he saw
blood oozing through his shoe.
The shot evidently grazed the top
of his foot and then entered his foot
near the arch. Two Of the wads en-
tered his foot near the instep. He was
brought to Keckuk and physicians
summoned to dress his wounds. His
condition this morning was very salts
factory.
When Dotson's companions found
he was hurt, they hurried him down
the hill and to the main highway
where they tagged an automobile,
telling the driver a man had been
hurt and they wanted to take him to
his home at once. The driver very
brutally said he didn't have time; he
was on business, and drove on.
! An attempt is being made now to
identify the man and things will be
made rather uncomfortable for him,
friends Of the injured boy say, II they
can find him.
A truck came along next with some
sign painters in 1t bound for Burling-
ton. AS soon as they learned what
was the matter. they turned the truck
around and drove with all speed into
town, where medical aid could be
summoned.
