NEW MODELS IN HATS.

Women are going to realize more
and more the possibil' for added
charm, that lie about the brim Of a
hat.
Much as we cherish the snug little
chapeau for general wear, We may
not deny that the large picture hat Is
the most popular Of all models for
dressy wear. The big hat does not by
any means belong to any one type

peal may take the place Of a stiff I'm

The lady on the left prefers to ap-

down while the brim droops too, and
at the same time the lovely costume
she wears is enhanced a hundred
fold. This gown is developed In tan
chiffon, over black satin. Motifs OF
black and gold trim the drapery, and
seal skin makes perfect the outline.

A hat that shades the face Is

BY c. S. ALBERT.
Especial StH-l

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. "a
When the open season for big game
opened with the converting OF con-
gress all the arms and ammunition
were gobbled up by the prohibittonists
and advocates of woman suffrage.
They appeared to monopolize the en-
tire show and other gunners must be
satisficted with small fry until they
are out of the way.
All the trouble loomed up when
congressional leaders promised that
votes should be permitted on proposed
congressional amendments providing
for nationwide temperance and equal
suffrage 1t was suggested that this
would be done before the Christmas
holiday recess, December II being ten
tatively fixed for prohibition and the
following day for suffrage. Whereupon
the women and the temperance folks
swooped down en- masse and took
possession of the capital city. They
have been PROSECUTING among the ma
tional legislators almost day and
night Such buttonholing has seldom
been witnessed.
Prohibition leaders frankly admit
that their chance for success lies in
bringing out the complete membership
of the house. In such an event they
count precisely 290 votes, exactly
sufficient to adopt the constitutional
amendment, which was approved by
the senate last summer. Failure to
reach the coveted 290 will be meas
ured by the number of absentees
among the advocates of ''dryness." 1t
is realized that full house is among
the unaccomplished miracles.
Those who favor suffrage knew the
time was not quite ripe. With the
meeting of congress they urged delay
until some period early in the New
Year, by which time it was hoped to
