COLORS FOR HATS
Erilliance IS More Pronounced
Than in Recent Seasons.
Wide Brim Effects to Accompany
Wide-Skirted Frocks-T ans Are
Much in Favor.

Hats this season have more color
than has been noted in recent seasons,
and many are wide of brim to accom-
pany the wide-skirted froeks and suits
of the Louis XIV period.
The small hat, however, has not
been displaced from its position of
prominence.
Many attractive turban models are
made from duvetyn. One immensely
smart turban was of creamy white
duyetyn trimmed with black coque
feathers placed at the top of the crown.
Falling furs and street dress and
even the wide-skirted frocks of the
Louis days, which some Parisiennes
are amusing themselves by wearing in
the evening, were always worn with a
small couture, making them much
more attractive from an artistic stand
point than the exaggerated headdress
of Louis XVI.
The small shapes are of many styles.
The cloche, which has been almost a
uniform shape in Paris, is frequently
seen. The turban In some form or an
other, is always liked and is made of
various materials. The small hat with
narrow brim rolling sharply up against
the crown all around, or at the side,
is another good model.
The tam-otshanter. is still much in
favor. The crowns of these tams have
rather less fullness than is usual In
such shapes. One noted in pale yellow

NEW TYPE TURN-BACK COLLAR
Neck Opening Model Is in Shape of
Narrow Scarf and May Be
Worn High.

A form of high collar which will find
more favor is seen on some of the
dressy velvet or dqyetyn street froeks.
1t is in the shape of a narrow scarf of
the fabric and can be worn high or
turned back to disclose the neck.
For afternoon gowns there is a wide
choice of neck openings, among the
most alluring being the square neck
which is usually rather long and mar
row. A particularly charming decol-
ietage is the one often employed on
dark velvet frocks which consists of a
deep point in front filed in by a tuck
er of old lace.
The round and the oblong neckline
are with the square decolletage all to
be pet with on the informal evening
gown which is SO important a part of
a woman's wardrobe in these days.
With frock of this sort, in which the
rather high oblong neck opening is a
feature, frequently no sleeves at all or
only the most rudimentary ones are
provided.
The French short sleeve for street
gowns is no longer permissible, and
we are reduced to the close-ftting
plain sleeve or the bell sleeve en-
broidered at its edge.
In Paris they have revived the
charming fashion Of wearing dainty
undersIeeves which completely cover
the forearm and wrist. This is COM
mendable fashion and will be adopted
by the woman who makes business
Of the nice details of the toilette.

CRATER IMMENSE IN SIZE
Extinct Volcano of HaIeakala, In Ha-
wailan Islands, Is One OF the
Worlds Wonders.

The Hawaiian islands possess an
extinct volcano so immense that
large city could be set down lhsloe
the crater. 1t is ninety-seven mics
around the face of Haleakala, twenty
miles around the crater walls, ana
10000 feet to the top. The crest was
ages ago blasted out to depth OF
1000 feet. and flung aside In a series
of eruptions. strewing the mountain
with powders, lava and ash.
Within the crater thus formed,
oreat cone and number of smaller
ones can be seen. 1t Is so far down &c
tho floor of the crat,f that bowler
nushed in seems to fall in empty
snoce. The crash of its landing Is
never heard. ~.
The view from the crater OF MI
uoleakala is accounted one of the
most wonderful in the world The
creen fields of the island and the blue
Pacific are spread out before the OBJ
server like a mighty map.

beaver was fashioned with brim all
around. Directly at the front under
meath the crown was placed a jade
ornament.
The beret and tricorne by rights
belong to the fashions of the eight
zenith century, and therefore many of
them are likely to be seen this win
ter. The beret appears in large YER
sion with great width at the sides. A
very lovely example of myrtle green
velvet seemed almost TO conceal the
face of the wearer at the right side
and f1ared up widely at the left.
There is a tendency, a bit daring
and not too general, to tip the hats
over the forehead as they used to be
worn about ten years ago.
A winsome small hat of cream vel
vet in cap effect is embroidered with
seed pearls. 1t is regarded as one of
the favorites for winter wear.

Dainty and Expensive Neckwear Is
Easy to copy-Other Decorations
Add to Costume.

Collars which the shops are show

to copy. How would you like one
small collar made of finely tucked or

in color may extend parallel to TIE

her father a close second-to tell him
the whole of my story. Whatever
his and her particular secret was, ii
was evident to me that it was an in
nocent and honorable one; and, be-
sides, | may have had notion that
before long | was to have family
interest in it. So | began-starting in
with little prelude in the manner of
my host, just to enter into the spirit
of the game:
MY Lord Alcinous, your guest, the
far wanderer, having partaken of your
golden hospitality, is now fain to open
his heart to you, and tell you of him
self and his race, his home and his
loved ones across the wine-dark sea,
and such of his adventures as may
give pleasure to your ears" :.
though, having no talents In that di-
rection, was glad enough to abandon
my lame attempt at his Homeric style
for q plain aightforward narrative
of the events of the past three months.
l had not, however, proceeded very
far, when, with a courteous raising OF
his hand, King Alcinous suggested a
pause.
IF you would not mind" he said, Il
would like my daughter to hear this
too, for it is of the very stuff of ro-
mantle adventure in which she de-
lights. She is brave girl, and, as
often tell her, would have made q
very spirited daredevil boy, if she
hadn't happened to be born girl"
This phrase seemed to flash light
upon the questionines that had stirred
at the back Of my mind since | had
first heard that voice in Sweeney's

CATCHY ARRAY OF RIBBONS
Striking New Decorations incIude
Metallic Background - Strong
colcrs Are In Evidence.


Ribbon counters these days are fas'
chatting. Sometimes you rather won.
der whether the ribbon people have
right to claim some of the beautiful
reels of siIken goods that they call
ribbon. You would think that If you
were the people that had the sill
goods counter In the store you would
want to put up fight to have in
your department some OF those Won
derful textiles that are kept on the
ribbon counter. Sometimes they are
almost half yard wide. They are
used often not as ribbons are, but as
silk by the yard is used. to cut up
into waistcoats, gilets, cuffs. collars
and other trimmings of the frock-
Most of the most striking of these
new ribbons have a metallic back
ground that is woven in with brilliant
colored silk that goes to make the de
sign of the ribbon. They are the
most gorgeous sort of brocade. One
of these ribbons shows design OF
color and metal that goes to Egypt
for its inspiration. There Is a gor.
geous scarab and above the conven-
tional rising sun Of Egypt with the
usual lotus flower design at the sides.
Then there is ribbon showing a con-
ventionalized parrot done in the most
gorgeous parrot shades combined with
gold. There are others that show
curious Chinese design which as you
look at it must have been inspired by
the four queens of the deck of cards.
Only ii is entirely Chinese in execu-
ton and coloring.
These ribbons are very useful for
making gilets, and dressmakers are
making use of them to great extent
For evening gowns they have wide
usefulness. You know girdles have
come to the fore and sometimes these
ribbons are used Ia form into a loose,
sloppy girdle that is caught around
the waist and hips.
Very narrow ribbons are also being
used for girdle purposes. These are
made by taking about two and a half
yards of ribbon about half inch wide,
usually pieot edged. Sometimes there
are three lengths all the same color,
sometimes the three lengths are all OF
a different color-yellow, blue and old
rose, perhaps. These three strands
are brought loosely around the girdle
line on top of the frock and then tied
in a bow or crossed in knot at the
left front, leaving the ends to hang
loosely at the left side. Young girls
are buying these ribbons to make into
girdles to add to their blue serge or
black silk frocks.

Standing by the crater OF Haleakala

Hawaiian myth which goes back to
the beginning of things. At that time,
says the story, the god Maui imprison-

cano and made him promise to give
light and heat to the islands. From
this ancient myth comes the name of
the volcano, HaleakaIa, house of the
sun.

SCARF WITH LEATHER BELT
Hand-Knit Variety Promises to Be Fa-
vorite: How They May Be
Made at Home.

The great wide scarf which is held
In about the waist with narrow patent
leather belt is right up to its neck in
style! The hand-knit ones have not
been seen very much yet, but they
will be ere long.
AS they are very long-extendlng to
the hem of the skirt-and very wide,
1t would be good plan to start one
right now If you intend to have one
when you will be wanting 1t most.
Victory blue, purple, tan and brown
are among the most popular shades
for this sort of scarf. Grays are good
also, of course.
Cast on 65 stitches. For about 5
inches plain knit it. The next row,
knit ten stitches plain and then purl
40. Do likewise for about ten rows.
Then take your ten stitches as before.
but this time purl only enough stitches
to equal the width of the purling of
the ten rows below.
The idea is to work the design In
the center of the scarf.
Suppose that 1t takes ten purl
stitches to make a border of width
equal to the width of the border paral-
lei to the bottom. Then purl your ten,
plain knit 20 stitches. purl ten and
plain knit ten. That would give you
the design in purl on either side of the
scarf.
The other end of the scarf would,
Of course, complete this rectangular
design, which is traced out with the
purling.
Make 1t of nice heavy wool and do
not skimp it in length, and you will
be most proud Of the work of your
hands and knitting needles

especially when salaried players are

games played this year cost Manager
Herwig $500 or more each, and when
the cost of base balls, bats. gloves,

it takes lot of money to conduct

BURGLARY SUNDAY MORNING.
Ole Myran Home in Madison Twp
Visited by Robbers EARLY SUN
day Morning.

The home of Ole Myran in Madison
township was visited by BURGERS be-
tween one and two o'clock Sunday
morning. Mr. Myran is a man about
so years old, bachelor and lives
alone. The residence stands back in
the woods, quite ways from the
main road. The burglars knocked on
the door and when Mr.. Myran ans
wered they asked for a drink OF
water. He opened the door part
ways and they pushed the door in,
breaking the glass in 1t, and COM
menced striking the old gentleman
on the head with an ordinary piece
of stove wood cutting and bruising
him up severely. Mr. Myran figured
there were several men in the bunch
and they ransacked the house
thoroughly, looking for money. They
secured $500, which Mr.. Myran
gave up to them. Bed clothes were
pulled off the bed and a thorough
search of that made for money. the
burglars thinking he had money
hidden there. A trunk was also torn
open and the contents strewn
around.
The burglars evidently thought
Mr.. Myran was wealthy and KEEP
his money in the house, but as we
understand it, he is not rich, and has
no money. other than what he earns
daily to get along on.
Mr.. Myran went to his brothers
home which is nearby, before day
light and informed him OF the rob
berry, and one of the boys drove into
Deeorah and Notified Sheriff Filing
son. The Sheriff went out, and look
ed the situation over, and in hi
opinion the work was that of anna
teurs. He found a piece OF mask tina
was used by one of the burglars. Nc
signs of tracks, either horse or auto
could be found.
