Baby Aduenturer Lost
For 20 Hours in Woods
Jersey Police, Deputy Sheriffs, Boy Scouts, Ameri-
can Legion, Trained Dogs and Even Airplane
Search Slopes Until Lad Halls Woodcuters

When Leo Schmidt. of Clifton, N. j.,
grows up he intends to follow the pro-
fesson of getting lost in the woods.
He reached that decision yesterday
after spending twenty-six hours alone
in the wooded hills between North
Haledon and Preakness, N. j., equipped
only with a soda water bottle filled
with wild Strawberries.
1t was the most interesting and ex-
hilarating experience Leo has had in
all his three and half years of life,
and the only reason for the postpone
ment of his chosen career is that Leo
judges from the demonstrative well
come extended to him by his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Schmidt, that it
will be at least seventeen years and six
months before he will be free to en-
bark upon it.
He is faxen-haired, blue-eyed
youngster of sturdy build who speaks
a baby language of his own that is
mostly German with considerable
fuency, and tersely and to the point
in English when necessity arises. His
father and mother took him on a
picnic Sunday. They took trolley
car to Haledon, walked two miles to
North Haledon and then climbed w
the wooded slopes of High Mountain
to a forest-skirted field in which wild
strawberries grow to fabulous proper
tions.
Takes Nap Under Tree
They had their lunch under a tree al
the edge of the field and mother went
a short distance into the field agair
in search of strawberries.
1t was at 1880 that they left Lee
curled up under the tree. At 12:4E
his mother returned to tuck the coat
closer about him, as she imagined the
breeze had freshened a bit The chile
was sound asleep. At l o'clock Mrs
Schmidt returned to the tree again tc
see that all was WELL
Leo had vanished and so had the
bottle of strawberries. Only the coat
and the little nest the boy had made
he had been. Mrs. Schmidt called
him. There was no answer He,
husband came to the spot and joined
her in shouting Leo! Leo." There was
no response and they began to search
frantically through the woods, calling
as they went.
General Alarm Sounded
Their hunt was fruitless. Although
Leo had been there, sound asleeI
fifteen minutes before, not trace o.
him was to be found. Panic-stricken
Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt made their wa,
to High Mountain Hotel, where there il
telephone. The police of Paterson
and Clifton and the nearest deput,
sheriff were notified.
From that moment until Leo turnet
up the tanks of High Mountain wer,
combed by search parties. Police
deputy sheriffs, Boy Scouts, member
of the American Legion, police dog
and an airplane were enlisted in tn
hunt. The whole countryside turnec

knows it would be better for our en-
gagement to be dissolved
A letter said to have been written
in reply by Miss Adams read:
Dear William: ] will not break the
engagement until l see you face to
face. I did not expect you to jump
into matrimony the moment when you
returned When you speak of childish
love it must have been on your own
part. You were not a kid when you did
what you did. Who saw to it that you
had star on the service flag of your
church when you went away No one
else seemed to think enough about IL
to place it there. Things have hap
pened since you went away which
would make it impossible for me to
get married as you suggest now. I
hope you will stand to your promise
and be man"

Resort hats, which make their ap-
pearance in the early winter, bring to
our eyes the utmost in the art of the
milliner Every knowing woman who
Journeys to sunny climes to get away
from the cold seems to make up her
mind tc own the very best millinery
that she can get and resolves that. in
the matter of headwear, comparison
shall not be odious to her. And there
is plenty OF chance for comparisons.
for the throng of people heading
south increases every year.
All sorts of hats are prepared in ad-
vance for these tourists and, taking
them by and large, the street hat. 9TH
erwise known as the tailored hat. is
the most important member of the dis
tinguished company.
A group of pretty hats for sunny
climes shown above include three beau
ties, At the top dress hat of geor-
gette crepe has many prototype In

thing new in the way of designing to
offer with its sloped panel at the front
of the coat and the fiat straps that are
set over the underarm seams. Lest
they be overlooked a row of buttons
calls attention TO them and these but
tons. according to the present demand,
match the suit in color. The coat
buttons up 10 the neck and there are
pockets at each side under the slopinS
panel. This panel is bound with a
narrow braid The skirt is also an
example of clever designing. 1t ap-
pears quite narrow but an inverted
plat at each side conceals its real
width while it is comfortable for walk
ing. The fur set is of the skunk pelt,
but fox or any of the long-haired skins
would answer as well:
The very plain and elegant suit at
the right of broadcloth has long
coat, rounded at the front with curved,
inset pockets. These are bound with
braid and finished with arrowheads
This coat slopes downward toward the
back while the coat in the suit at the
left shows the back extended abruptly
and considerably longer than the
front. For this suit the shawl COL
lar and deep cuffs are of sealskin.
Beaver, squirrel and other short.
haired furs are used in the same way.
The Colorado statesman., 1920-01-24

The tailored suit Is about the most
rdaptable piece of property in the
wardrobe; at home in any cline anu
rarely out of place in any gathering.
Glover women understand how the
addition of the right accessories make
1t fit in with almost any sort of back
ground and this IS valuable knowl-
edge for the woman who travels.
A suit that is to do duty anywhere
should be made of any of the all-year-
r.und wooden goods, as serge, gabar-
dine, Poiret twill. broadcloth and the
like. If 1t is simply and smartly made
so much the better-it lends itself
readily to different Furnishings and
matches up with them. For mild eli
mates and warm weather lace collar
and cuff sets add daintiness and rich
ness to the tailored coat.

when its owner makes an excursion
into the cold. These are tackled on
and can be easily put on or off. Two
sets appear in the picture above each

with which It is worn. The suit at the

small garden roses and white daisies
with their foliage wanders round the
crown and falls over the back of the
brim. In vain the millionalress will
undertake to find more perfect ex-
ample of the milliner's art. The de-
scription of these hats may make them
seem simple but the choice and COM
bination of colors in them, the perfect
shapes and faultless craftsmanship
bespeak great artists.
The remaining hat is semidress
affair with an odd crown of straw
braid and a curved, droOpy brim. The
top crown overhangs the side crown
at n saucy angle. A sash of wide vel
vet ribbon encircles 1t and a single
end falls from the back. Against the
ribbon small metallic roses are set in
foliage embroidered in chenille on the
velvet These and daisies made of
ribbon alternate about the crown.
Where do all the beautiful hats go?
Well, many of them go to resorts
where they enjoy a glorious If brief
career in summer lands.

"HEkD BUCKET" NOW RELIC
Gruesome Article Passed With the
Passing Of the Feudal System
Among the Japanese.

Owe OF the mosi grim articles Of
household furniture known 10 man is
the kubioke, or head bucket Of the
Japanese of the old days. The bucket
was a part of the furnishings Of the
samnrai, or fighting man in court cir
cies, II was kept by him In n high,
narrow closet with sliding doors close
Ia an a%lcOve, considered the place OF
honor of a samurai's home. When the
head OF the house offended his lord
there was no bother Of o trial or an
arrest. Instead there came u very no
lite note from the court, which stated
the lord was sure that the samurai
would return the noble honor Of his
family. The messenger took hack a
note as polite as the one brought. in
which the writer thanked his lord for
his honorable generosity.
He then shaved. hathed. donned a
white robe, and committed hari.kari by
falling on his sword. His head was
taken off and placed in the kubloke,
wrapped in white paper, and Il nap
kin bearing his crest was placed over
II. A messenger then took the bucket
10 the court, where the head was ex-
hibl'ed and identified and then re-
turned To the family with IA polite note
Of regret.
