For some reason the millinery Of
midwinter Is more colorful and some
what more elaborate than that which
the simply trimmed hat cannot be
outclassed. But variety is the spice Of
millinery as well as Of life, and some
Of the latest arrivals In the assemblies
Of midwinter hats are far from simple
The hat at the center Of the picture
Is an instance Of this new departure
In the face of a vogue for sedate COL
ors and meager trimmings, its design.
er has chosen to be audacious and has
vindicated her choice by making a
beautiful hat. 1t Is picturesque
model with q wide brim, faced with
rose -colored crepe and edged with
double frill of velvet In that cool
brown called elephant" The brim Is
wider at the left side than elsewhere
and has as many graceful turns and
curves as. the edge Of flower petal.
A whole company Of small curling
ostrich heads-which Is the millinery
name for little plumes-finds a resting
place on it and they are Of the same
shade of brown. The crown Is rather
high and lifts at the left with a band
Of tucked betting ribbon about 1t In
rose color.
Just to show that quite a lot OF
trimming can be used successfully,
rather large brown beads are set at
wide intervals about the upper edge
Of the ribbon, and even the lovely
little ostrich plumes are not left alone
In their glory-brown Japanese al
grettes spring up among them.
Another lovely midwinter hat, at the
right of the picture, brings visions of
thearer parties-weddings and all
sorts of bright assemblies. 1t Is of

won. He piled Bavaria and the lesser
German states together, placed Prus-
sia on top Of them, and held the
Hohenzollerns on the top Of the whole
pile. By show of armed strength lin
which the war against Austria and the
war against France were planned as
exhibitions) he forced Hohenzollern
into world powerfulness. Long be-
fore he died he planned another war
against France as another exhibition
Of German strength. A reason for the
new war? He had the same reason
that a slave driver has when he drags
an innocent black before the assem-
bled slaves and beats her until she
faints. Hohenzollernism must, every
so often, show it's power. The world
must be kept cowed.
The Difference.
So you see how two nations have
reached world power-the United
States and the imperial Hohenzollern
Germany. We grew; imperial Ger
many planned and schemed and forged
bayonets. We are a world power be-
cause we are great in size and
strength; Germany was a world power
because she was a theatener Of mur-
der. She was world power because
she carried ut all times a bludgeon.
Imperial Prussian HOhenzOllern-Ger
many was structure Of bayonets; it
existed, as Bismarck would brutally
admit were he alive today, for the
honor and glory Of the Hohenzollerns,
and for no other reason. 1t was to
prove that Wilhelm Hohenzollern,
king of Prussia, was a world power
that Germany was driven into the war
we are now fighting, and not to prove
that Germany was world power.
Germany has paid dear price for
HohenZollernism of the Wilhelm III
variety. The world has paid fright
full price.
Germany without the Hohenzollerns
would be great nation and a true
world power. As 1t is, she is a bleed
ing, wounded, hungered tool. She is
being used by Hohenzollern-to prove
that Hohenzollern king of Prussia
can do what he pleases with Prussian
slaves and the slaves Of Prussia. This
IS HohenzOllern war. It was planned
by Hohenzollerns to keep the HOhen-
zollerns Of Prussia firmly seated on
the throne, and for no other reason.

tain this nice man until you think he's
ready to come back to his work?" she
asked.
"All you've got to do is to interest
him and keep him interested. You
must meet him in such q way that he
can't help noticing you. He needs
something to occupy his mind"
'I'n feel like vampire" she mused
But she went.
So a few days later Mildred Nor
rison was established as the star
boarder on the Jackson farm on the
other side Of the road and a quarter
Of a mile below the Allison place.
Holster heard Of 1t at breakfast the
next morning. Mr.. Allison said that
right pretty looking city girl had come
to board with the Jacksons for n
while, but he didn't think much about
1t until some time later in the week
the day he went fishing, to be exact.
The weather was perfect and work
had slackened enough so that Hol-
lister felt that he could take day off
with clear conscience, so he walked
through the woods and the fields to
the Horton pond some three miles
away. There at the grassy foot of a
steep bank some ten or twelve feet
high he made himself comfortable and
set out couple of lines.
He was all unaware that Mildred
had been stalking him for the past
several days. She had seen him sew
eral times, but there had been no op-
portunity to meet him In any other
than an ordinary way, and Mildred
meant to obey Uncle Docs orders If it
was possible to do so. That afternoon
in her wanderings she came to fence
that ran along the top Of an unexpect-
edly high bank, and peering down dig
covered to her surprise the unsuspect-
ing Holster tending his lines.
She leaned forward against the
fence to get better look at her vic
tim. The old rotten posts gave way,
and Mildred suddenly found herself
describing beautiful somersault that
landed her most joltingly on her
hands and knees at Holsters side.
He stared in startled surprise.
IL just dropped into see if
If you were having any luck" she said
dizzily, as soon as she could catch
her breath.
II think" he said, relieved to see
that she wasn't hurt, 'I'm not sure but
think this is going to be the luckiest
day of my life." He looked back up at
the top of the bank from which she
had descended upon him. "What cir
Gus were you graduated from?" he
grinned.
Mildred looked up at him from un-
der her tumbled hair and Holster
looked deep down into the offering of
her glance-and from that instant
neither he nor she nor the orders Of
DR.. Dubbs had anything more to do
with 1t. ,.....
In less than a week the neighbors
had noticed it. In ten days HOLSTER
had succeeded in kissing Mildred after
several false starts-and in three
weeks DR.. Dubbs received letter
from HOLSTER that made him snort.
"Dear Doc.-YOu needn't think
you've put anything over on me. You
haven't. put it over all by myself.
As a matter Of fact I don't care if I
never come back to town. You see
there was wedding in these parts

Has Floats Like Footballs,

One of the newest types of life pre-
servers consists of belt to which
are attached two or three inflatable
units shaped like footballs. Each has
casing Of properly reinforced duck,
and Is lined with rubber bladder
having valve at one end for initiating
1t. The preserver weighs only about
one and one-fOurth pounds and when
debated can be carried in the pocket.
Equipped with two bags, it has suffi.
cient buoyancy for use in swimming,
while the three-bag life preserver will

In the Sailors Can.

A young sailor was evidently ex.
planning things in the navy to his
sweetheart, because as an illustration
he removed his cap and turning 1t
over disclosed inside muslin lining
drawn together by an elastic band.
Then he demonstrated how a cap may
be used as a pocket.
He inserted his hand and drew out
the following articles: A few letters,
two packages Of cigaret papers, a
pocket comb, nail file, fountain pen, a
dozen photographs and bunch of
cigaret coupons.
1t might be supposed his cap would
be bulky and Ill fitting with all these
things in it, but 1t was not. The elas-
tic band tightly drew the lining to-
gether so that on taking Off the hat
nothing fell out. 1t seemed comfortable
on the sailors head and he appeared
highly satisfied.

Dialects In British Isles.

Several languages and many dia
lects are spoken in the British isles
In Northern Scotland most of the
people speak Gaelic, as they once
did in Ireland, where the Gaelic
language has been undergoing q
revival in recent years. The Welsh
have n distinct language of their own
which is of Celtic origin. The Cor.
nish people until far into the eight.
eenth century spoke Celtic language
very similar to that spoken by the
people Of Brittany in France. Nearly
every shire Of England has its peculiar
dialect.

All He Wanted

Frederick Harkness Of Los Angeles
was annoyed so much by flies In a
room which he occupied in an upstate
city hotel during the past SUMMER that
he summoned a boy to make COM
plaint.
"Want your room ',hanged, sir?" in
quired the boy.
"Room changed, nor said Mr..
Hardness. "It's the flies I find fault
with, nothing else."
The boy reported to the proprietor
of the hotel that Mr.. Hardness was
satisfied with his room, but that he
wanted the flies changed.

can get along without it's talented
editor for a few months" added the
doctor, sarcastically. IF you died this
very minute, they'd keep on getting
out their morning editions just the
same, you know"
And so it happened that HOLSTER
found himself on the Allison farm,
some two miles from Glenville, and
forty miles from town of any size
at all on a certain morning in the mid
die of May. His status as paying
working guest" was somewhat Of a
puzzle to Pa Allison, who came in for
a moment when Holster ate his o
o'clock breakfast and wondered If he
ought to call him down for not get
ing up at o'clock to help with the
chores before the family breakfast at
$50.
But there were no more 8 o'clock
breakfasts for HOLSTER for some time
to come. BY the middle of July he
I, was writing DR.. Dubbs that he was
"strOng as a horse-had gained twen-
ty pounds-and guessed he was
cured"
The belligerent Doctor Dubbs head
ed him off imperatively, but two weeks
later Holster wrote that he was "go-
ing bugs" He couldn't stand 1t any
longer. He was feeling fine, but would
soon be dead from the neck up. The
mental inaction was unbearable-
swore that In another month his last
brain would have departed. Couldn't
he have a typewriter? Maybe he could
start that novel he had in his head.
But DR.. Dubbs sat on that proposition
with decision and dispatch. A type
writer would mean too little sleep.
Did he want to lose all he had so far
gained by sticking to orders?
However, for fear that Holster
would eventually kick over the traces,
throw over the cure in its most critical
stage, the willy DR.. Dubbs decided to
call for assistance, and to that end
sought out his favorite niece.
"What do you say to month in the

woman, pinching her round arm.
