he said to me in a fearful voice, it is

NEW PARIS STYLES IN HATS

Fruit Picker's Dream Come True.

Fruit Picker's Dream Come True.
An ingenious method Of gathering
fruit which reduces the fruit picker's
work to a minimum, makes use OF a
large net suspended above the ground
directly under a tree and does away
with the usual fruit-picking harness,
buckets, pals and baskets, says the
Popular Science Monthly. The fruit
is dropped from the tree by the picker
and it falls into the net and rolls
down through a cone-shaped canvas
spout into a. barrel or fruit box. The
net is held taut by framework sup
ported by iron posts driven in the
ground.

The greater designers in Paris have
preferred China to Japan for half
dozen years, and we in America have
made the kimonO too much a part of
our early-morning life, at 81 per gar
ment, that we may not see in this
effort of the house of Cheruit an open
path to beauty.
Entire Gowns Of Jet.
The house of CallOt has thrown its
influence into many channels, and the
gowns of its making, which arrived in
this country later than all the others.

Jet. The woman who has cherished
a frock of jet and wondered if the
style would ever return in order that
she might revive it into something
modern, may 60 to the work with en-
thusiasm.
Cabot is not the only designer who
whirls jet around the wheel of fash
ion into the top place, but she is the
one designer who introduces entire
gowns of it. These are coat-Of-mail
creations, that cling to the figure like
glittering cuirass and whiten IN
brilliant way the skin of the neck and
arms, which are left uncovered. These
gowns have trains of tulle or lace, and
they are costly-Oh! very, very costly F!
To the average mind they may seem
bit heavy for an American spring,
and it is safe to say that the woman
who buys costly evening gown IN
April of this year 1918 will expect 1t
to do duty through the summer sea-
son. Even our glittering birds of para
disc, who heretofore f1oated through
forest of riches showing their plum
age ana thinking nothing Of the cares
of life, have been changed heart and
soul by the war and it's terrOrs into
creatures of self-sacrifice and much
higher ideas.
Choosing Green for Suits.
Another thing that the house of Cal
lot has done to get us away from
conventional fashion is the exploita-
ton of green for the street. 1t may
be roughly said that there are a thou
sand navy blue gowns to hundred
Of any other color, and, admirable as
dark blue is, the world grows a bit
weary of the monotonous procession
! of gowns in this color which moves to

cry aloud for something else. We are
like the heroine Of the novel, who pas
sionately wished for just thread OF
scarlet in her costume to make her be-
! lieve that there was happiness and
gayety in the world.
Callot gives us green to quiet our
nerves. She gives us chance to get
away from navy blue and still remain
demurely and soberly frocked.

Contrary to the belief Of many
people, the present crisis in the coal
situation does not come from having
sent too much coal out of the country.
The coal is still in the country, but
unfortunately most of it still lies in
the mines. Therein lies the chief diff
iiculty. And there is absolutely no
good reason why it is still there when
it should be on he outside. We say
no good reason, yet there is reason.
That is the policy that the coal ope-
rators, along with those controlling
many other industries, have been pur-
suing for some years past-limiting
production. In hundreds of mining
towns of the country, even since the
coal shortage has become acute, miners
have been held down to four, three or
even two days a week, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they were clamoring
for work and the public was suffering
for their output. We will admit that
the scarcity of cars had some bearing
on the question, but this was not the
whole cause.
If Uncle Sam can straighten out this
tangle. he will have the thanks of a
suffering public. But he will find that
neither he nor anyone else can relieve
the situation until them en- are sent
into the mines and sent there to stay
until there is sufficient coal above
ground to supply all our needs. When
that is done, a little judicious manip-
ulation of the railroads will straighten
the matter out.
