Hats with one sided Trimming.

There seems slight inclination on the
part OF tho milliners to give both sides
OF the hat an isqual chance at ornamcn-
talon. No balance Is attempted.
Molyneux consistently places his TRIM
ming on one side OF a. large hat with
huge brin. One would dread to travel
on a ship that was ballasted In that
manner.
In these hats the crown is curiously
shaped after the Chinese fashion: il
rises in tiers to n point i'm the middle.

be entirely out OF the picture OF the
hour, and on it there is sometimes a
corded band of satin 30 sharpen II. The
brinl is of the "Merry widow variety
and swirls about the head Ike solid
cartwheel. At the left side placed yTell
toward the edge of the brin. is a bunch
OF chenille fringe and velvet ribbon also
In loops, and beneath this trimming
on the under side of the brian is its
exact duplicate.
One sees few attempts TO put color
on these big, sharply cut satin and
panne hats, but there Is no hesitation
In adding white TO them.
White and black has not lost its
charm or its SAVIOUR and Il holds It's
own against tho tidal wave OF color.
Columbine hats built In black and white
u al
one end are worn by the best dressed
women. These ribbon or chenille or
naInents are fashioned liko chrysan-
themums.
Field Flowers and Lilies Are Out.
Tho American who arrived In Paris
early in June found that hats were not
trimmed with field flowers, roses. pond
lilies, nor wisteria. Even lilies OF the
valley were unknown.
She may have brought over her new
spring hats trimmed in such manner,
but che saw to II that tho flowers we're
removed before she wore tho hats. II
was not possible TO quickly Iengthen her
skirts so she had to appear tagged as an
American wherever she went In Europe
because OF the cxpanse OF legs between
her slippers and the hem OF skirt. She
was determined, therefore, that her hats
should be In fashion, so she stripped
them OF their flowers.
When flowers are used this season
they match the hat They are made OF
loose petals or fine braid in eIlk or veil
vet, or they arc rich and dull, massively
massed on soft felt.
When Jet ornaments arc used they arc
in the form OF the pointed front OF the
Russian head dress and are placed d.
rectly against the front of the crown.
The drapcd crown IL not in the ascend
ancy, though 1t Is included among fash
ionable hats. but its drapcry must indi-
cate the pointed tiara.
The brim that dips downward In
front is preferred to the one that rolls
upward Tho brlm at tho back Is often
reduced to such small proportions that
It can be fiattened against the head or
rolled up. The latter trick Is preferred

Tho best known hat OF this kind is in

in black with silver ornaments. The hat
Is pulled well down over the head and
does not carry either veil or hatpins.
Really, few OF the hats show pins. They
may be there. but they are carefully
concealed.
There is nothing new in the idea of
these Russian hats. but there is no

EXCITING RACES

putting on the most intensely realistic
racing in It's Hippodrome Contests

them from tie farccs Of racing seen
with other shows. Among the races
put on are: Flat Races, Running
Races, Man Against Horse, Hurdle
Races, Elephant, Camel and Pony
Races. Alsc the ever exciting Chariot
Races.
Bv means of cash prizes to the lady
and gentleman winning the most of
the races during the week the show
has caused Il real rivalry to exist be

racing is good natured, yet it is always

'EWe noticed these lines recently

"When labor gives 100 percent

"When YOU can get hotel room and

"When railroad rates are reduced

ONE LAST PLEA.

4 + the risk of becoming intensely tiresome
n to our readers we are about to make one
4 more plea for the plant life Of woods and
fields, not only on state, city or privately-owned
properties but everywhere. Year by year the
flowers and plants decrease in number because
of the wantonness Of those who profess to love
them. It is no sign Of this affection to gather
large numbers of these flowers, carry them for a
short distance and then throw them down to
die, without any power to sow the seeds for next
year, as they would have done had they been left
where they grow. Rather it is sign of affection
to go to where these flowers grow to visit them
in their own homes and to treat them with the
same respect one would treat human host.
Much of the charm of wild things is lost when
they are taken out of their native setting -volets
are scarcely violets in cut glass basket correct
~ placed on a mahogany table; to be at their
best they need the waving trees to throw the
shadows across the violet bed, the smell of leaf
mold and the background Of moss and fern.
Other varties need their characteristic surround
ings to be entirely "in the picture" To shut-ins
or to others who cannot visit the flowers in their
native haunts, blossoms, picked with discretion
may well be taken in order that they may share
even in this secondhand way, something Of the
beauty Of the wild things which are the most
beautiful things in the world. But as for the rest
of us who visit them, let us be kind and care
full and discreet and above all else, let us
teach our children to respect the right Of future
generations, and to help in the great woodwork
Of conserving natures resources for those other
children Of the future. It is well for us all to
remember Emerson's lines about the sea shells
and to teach ourselves the lesson therein.

corner and rave about this being "the best little

is. The other is to stand on the opposite street
corner and criticize everything progressive that
is being DONE Growing about the taxes is also

LACK OF STABILITY.

~ NE REGULARITY about many native-born
J Americans is unrest. A desire TO change,
instability. A great number of our Ameri-
can young men are quite versatile; they make
fair showing at various forms of employment,
and before they have gotten down to some line
of employment that their talents adapted to
they may have tried out half dozen different
kinds of business.
With this spirit of unrest they are apt to be-
come roamers and the fruits Of their labors is an
empty pocketbook and the habit of wanderlust
well established in their characters, which habit
is very hard to cast off, and even though they may
attempt to settle down, that strong desire to
on with which they have become obsessed is too
strongly entrenched in their natures, and they
produce all kinds of reasons why they should
move and try to better their conditions.
Their reasoning is specious and they are likely to
find the fields elysian yet far in the distance.
Those who have made the greatest success in life
are they who have chosen their line of work wise
~, followed their better judgment, taken wise
counsel and made for their talismans faithful
ness determination and stick-to-it-iveness.
This will apply to those who have taken up
printing as emphatically as any other business in
the world. man may. work eighteen hours a
day drilling away, working in a narrow circle,
making no Improvement in his plant or methods,
and yet meet with only mediocre success.
One Of the requisites to success is honorable
dealing. Give little better material than ex-
pected and never be tempted to put off defective
work on any one. It is one of the glories of life
to have conscience void Of offense in ones deal
ings with his fellowmen III
These are the men who make the world better
for their having lived in it. Stability of charact-
er is the sesame to success. Try the sure met

Now, that the war is over our greatest concern
is the bringing about of conditions thatwll secure
for us permanent peace. I believe that the surest
guarantee of peaceful relations with other nations
is in our ability to defend our rights. A lack of
preparation cost us dearly in the late war, and
we should not think Of such thing as total dis
armament. We should have the biggest and
strongest navy in the world, and we should have
a small but highly efficient army. With this pre-
paration we can say to kings and kaisers, "hands
off, and country. on earth will dare attempt
to place stain or blot on Old Glory's Stars and
