FUcHsIA TONES WORN

In spite of the attention that has been given to the fuchsia tones, and the attempt to launch other shades there is no abatement in the interest Tn the black hat. Some believe the popular fuchsia tones trying to the average skin, and there is little that IS youthful in the combining of these shades. There is, however, more in terest Of late in the deep purple and royal tones used alone, these shades selected as more youthful than the fuchsia by many smart designers.

BAD ovERBALANcEs GOOD.

It is not improbable that many sug- Eestions are offered to the shipping board in connection with thelr efforts. One of them is to the effect that the vessels which are tied up should be put to using by leasing them for doi- lar a month to carry coal W hich is be- ing exported. The idea is to keep the vessels and those who would have to be emp oyed upon them busy and thereby reduce unemployment.
 It is q proposition. however, that has another side or perhaps several other sides. In the first place it would make possible a decided reduction in the cost of exporting coal and it is only natural that the people in this country, like New England for instance, should be anxious to know why, if such subsidy is going to be given. why it should not be put into effect in a way that would benefit them.
 Again it is to be realized that these vessels would be put into competition with other American vessels which are meeting the usual expenses. To under take to export coal under those favor able conditions would mean that vessels which are now engaged in the business would have nothing to do. They would be forced into idleness and the object aimed at would be defeated. Such reduction in the expense of coa. exportation would be liable to mean
 the fostering of foreign business at thu | expense of the domestic demand ana while coal could be obtained cheaper abroad it would be costing more in thi. l country.
 l It would be highly desirable to hay,
 the idle vessels doing something but
 the adoption of such a suggestion woult obviously do more harm than good ant raise much objection. The bad feas l lures overbalancn the good.

coLoRs USED EFFECTIVELY

Delightful color blends in wool and silk and wool mixture are a feature of the new knitted costumes. Suits com posed of plain skirts and slip-on top portion, dress and cape combinations and new modes in sweater numbers are among the points of especial in terest.
 I-avendar and brown are blended in a most effective heather mixture in a dress and cape costume of Heigh Ho knitted cloth. The dress is straight line with few inset side gathers held in place by tie which extends from eith- CT side of the front panel. The sleeves are full length with a slightly fIared line, while the neck slit is bound in self material, enabling the wearer to adjust the collar to either a high neck line or turned back effect. The dis tinguished feature, however, is seen in the cape of the same material col Jared in straight band of beaver. The cape dips slightly at the back and ties at the nechline in front.

ODD ISCInENTs :N AMERICAN
 HISTORY
MoLLlE PITCHER AT MONMOUTH

History has recognized to some de- gree the genuiness of the story of the doings, of 'Mollie Pitcher at the battle of Monmouth, but so charily have the incidents been touched upon because of the very clouded state of the facts of the case that it has come to be looked upon generally more as a pleasing legend than as historical fact But it is a fact, and of that there is no doubt.
 At the breaking out of the Revolu- tion there was residing at Carlisle, Pa, young Irish physician named Will liam Irvine. When tine conflict start ed Dr. Irvine at once declared for the American cause, and in 1776 was ap- pointed to the command of a regiment, the 9th in the Pennsylvania line.
 In the Irvine household at Carlisle before and at the time of the outbreak of the war there was q maid of all work, a young woman of Teatonic de- scent, named Mary Ludwig. She was not renowned for the beauty of her personal appearance, nor for the re, finement of her manners. Mary had married Casper Haynes, on July 24 1769. A few uneventfdl years to Mary Haynes, and the Revolution came. The master of Mary had become an of fieer of high rank. her husband was soldier under him, and Mary was an attendant upon the camp.
 John Haynes first entered the mili- tary service of his country on Decem- her 1, 17T5. He was variously assigned previous to the battle of Monmouth Col. Irvine had been taken prisoner d Three Rivers, Canada, and was pa roled on June ', 1776. Exchanged 1T 177S. In the latter part of April hC assumed command of the 7th Pennsyl vania regiment, and it was with tha
 regiment that he distinguished hinlsel at Monmouth.
 It was no unusual thing during thu | Revolution for wives to aecompani 1 their husbands to the army and t,
 serve in the capacity of nurses to tn sick and wounded in camp. Strong alt
 robust, well suited to this duty, Molli 1 Haynes could not be induced to re 1 main behind when her husband wen
 to war, and so she was found near hin
 making herself useful around the head quarters of Col. Irvine when the battl of Monmouth took place.
 In that engagement Haynes, al 1 though belonging to an infantry com
 pany, had, at least for while, tn i direction of cannon. In the thick 0
 the engagement Haynes was wounded l At the moment when he fell his wife l who had been carrying water to thos who had been overcome by the heat l was just approaching the place wher

READ YOUR CHARACTER
Dropping Mouths
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted I92I

The dropping mouth is a character indication that really requires no sci entific reading. You're almost sure 70 read it intuitively. In nearly everybo- dy's mind the dropping mouth is as sociated with discontent.
 The downward curve to the corners of the lips is the natural expression of this feeling. It may be a temporary as well as a permanent expression.
 Try it out on yourself. Assume the expression and hold it for bit. Actu- ally you experience vague. disgrun- tied sort of feeling coming over you. That is one of the peculiarities of the facial expressions, of the mouth parti- cularly. They work backward to a cer- tain extent. By determining to look angry you can actually work up a sort
