When Plano Was New.

The first public performance on .
piano was at Covent Garden, London,
162 years ago. The invention Of the In
s%trurnent is credited to Cristofalli, an
Italian J. 9. sehroter. a German, and
Marius, a Frenchman. The first crude
pianofortes were made early in the
eighteenth century, but for many years
they received no serious confederation
from musicians. Johannes lump, .
German, established the first plano fac
tory in England, and 1t was he who
built the instrument that was used in
Covent Garden.

HATS OF hFHANy C0L0RS SHOWN
 Al EXHIBIT
Fall Millinery In Contrast With Art Productions of
 5000 Years Ago

Large hats, small hats, flat and very tall hats play a. part in history for good or ill; clothes perhaps may make the man, but since first the world began, hats have made the women and they always will.''
 So sang a songster, years ago---and the burden of his song, so far as the size and shapes of the hats are con- cerned, ably describes the coming fall styles as they were displayed last night at the fashion show of the Re tail Millinery Association of America in the ballroom of the Hotel Astor.
 Felt hats and velvet hats; velour and duvetyn arc the materials used in the early samples at the exhibit and in shop windows. Bright hues and shades are a pronounced novelty Of the autumn season and high crowns will bid for popularity. The newest shade seems to be a very bright or ange, which is profuse1y used in trim mings and facings.
 In addition to the fashions was given last night an exhibition of the derivation, history and development Of the millinery industry. This ex- hibit, which has been collected from the Museum of Natural History and the Brooklyn Institute Museum, con- tafns hats more than 5000 years old. AnII some Of them seemed as plaus- ible as some of the present day mod els Which may reflect credit on pre- historic designers or discredit mod ern 1nilliners. That depends upon the point of view.

Birthday Bio-Briefs
 Famous Women
JENNIE JEROME Iady Randolph Churchiu.)

As the world is going to be made
 fsafe for democracy" it will hence forth be a question if the American girl of fortune will care to marry a
 title. In former days it was other wise. Jennie Jerome, the daughter of Leonard Jerome of New York, founder of the Jockey Club, was one Of the first American girls to wed the heir of an historic British house. In Paris in the days of the Second Elm pire, she had already attracted the attention of both Napoleon and Flu genie by her beauty and mental en- dowments. After the F'ranco-Prus- sian war, the Jeromes went to Eng land, where the beautiful girl was courted by the rising young peer of the House of Commons, Lord Ran dolph Churchill, second son of tho sixth Duke of Marlborough. She was married in London. Throughout the stormy and brilliant political ca reer of her husband, Lady Randolph Churchill was his right bower in the intricate political games. Her cleo tfoneertng ability was of incalculable value to Lord Randolph. Her social successes; a favorite at court; her work for the nation during the Boer War, when, as chairman of the Com-
 n1ttee of American women she fitted out the American Hospital ship Maine have made her name known in two hemtspheres. Her eldest son is Win ston Churchill. Lord Randolph died in 1895; in 1900, Lady Randolph Churchill married MT. George Corn wallis West, whom she has since di- voreed. She is 66 years of age.

ETIQUETTE

Wedding vitations-tDuring war times, to conserve paper 1t was de- creed that wedding invitations should be sent out in a single envelope in- stead of In @ small envelope inside a larger envelope. Does that rule still aply, or are two envelopes again in style?" (Answer) - Your question was referred to one of Boston's prin- cipa1 engravers of high-class station cry, etc. who declares that the proper thing just now is "a folded sheet in two envelopes
 An Introduction-"Is 1t correct, in introducing one's wife to a gentle man friend, to say: MT, Smith, meet my wife ?" (Answer) Too in- formal. You might introduce two men to each other that way; but a man should be exceedingly particu- lar about how he introduces people to his better half, One authority on etiquette suggests some such word ing for such an induction as the fol- lowing; 'Mr, X--, I wish to pre- sent you to my wife"

Household Hints

When stocking feet are past mend Ing, new ones made by the following pattern are easily made and comfor- table,
 To make a pattern lay a doubled stocking foot on a double paper so the under fold of stocking comes on the double fold of the paper. Allow one-half inch for seams when cutting and shape the pattern like a stocking foot from the heel part to the round ing part just above the heel and from the toe part cut to a high fnstep.

A little curtained window and a hap py little face, A storm of happy greetings at the door, A little throne of wicker by a little chimney-place, Nor all the kings of ages beasted more. A little place of longing where a fathers midday dreams Will lead him from the sordid. busy way So little-unpretentio Such a rich reward 1t seems For the little bit of telling in the day!
