Cloth of Gold as Hat Material
NY ANNE RITTENH0UsE.

When Elizabeth. Queen of Belgium.
she wore a wrapped turban of gold
tissue. which speedily became an
American fashion. 1t was too popular
and, therefore, it died Il quick death.
Since then women have been wary
Of metallic hats. but the Queen of
Rumania. who has started several
fashions for America via Paris. re-
sussitated the metallic headgear by
ordering flom Paris a fluted. flaring
hat Of cloth of gold. 1t was one of
several hats that were worn during
the different ceremonial occasions
that attended the religious corona
tlon OF her husband and herself. The
coronation did NOT take place when
she became queen. because of the ad-
vent OF war. When it did occur III
octooer II was a sumptuous spectacle
carried out with the medieval splen-
dor of Slavic royalty
1t was not the queen, however, who
started the fashion for silver and gold
tissue as head decoration. That was
IN 1uli fling when october arrived.
She revived the metal hat. So domi-
nant has the tissue forehead band
become in this country that it usurps
the bandeau of jewels and the
tiaras that our wealthy women are
supposed to wear at social occasions
of significance
1t was natural. therefore, that the
cloth -of-gold hats would slip into
favor with the metallic bandeaux,
and they are easier to wear than
when the Queen of Belgium started
the fashion for them, because the
weavers have learned to soften the
harsh threads.
Cloth of gold and silver is now 4
tissue. 1t is not a fabric for cush-
ions and Innings. 1t is almost as
transparent as chiffon and ii yields to
the head and to the movements of
the body. No woman need he terri
fed over the fashion, but she should
be careful of it. 1t is better to adopt
the oriental idea of yelling it. That
way lies safety.

enhanced by its covering of fragile
brown lace. which forms a masque

Sammy would see him.
Then he heard another voice. It was
the sharp voice of Chatterer the Red

ing. Apparently he was chattering
just to hear his own voice. Peter
heard the. scratching Of sharp claws
on the old stump above his head.
Then once more came the voice of

him. Peter knew that Chatterer was
sitting on top of that old stump.
Yowler was nowhere about. With a

Of those to whom they We're first ap-

rare instances in which the first use
was as nickname, denoting fancied

All variations. however. may be taken
for granted as having been derived
from either Of two occupations. the SELL

These occupations were tremendously

The Cry of Blood.

Anemia or weakness OF the blood "a
or a diminished proportion of hcmo-
most common symptoms physicians
deal with. 1t occurs as a result Of
many, many kinds of poisoning:
sometimes ordinary poispns absorbed
or taken into the body in one way or
another. as lead in numerous indus
tries, carbon mono4ide. carbon dioN-
ide, the anil.ne and coaltar deriva
tives: sometimes by poiscns produced
in the body by such diseases as tu
berculosis. syphilis, septic or focal
infections. sometimes By poisons in
gesied inadvisedly as medicine for
headaches. neuralgia. rheumatism.
nervousness. etc. In short, to attempt
20 list the common causes Of an"mia
is quite beyond the space available
here. I have tried ii many times.
and 1 know ii cant be done.
But this I can say here. that !, is
stance of anemia in an individual not
denied. reasonable choice of foSd is
ever attributable to lack of iron or
remediable by any form of medicine
containing iron or by any kind of diet
however rich In iron. 1 mean 20 say
ploded theories of the formation or
development or manufacture of blood
and the relation thereto CT iron. W,
haven't the slightest evidence to sup
port the idea that iron. however ad-
ministered. ever cures anem.a- And
I doubt whether any physician feput-
ed to have cured ane:nia has depend
cd upon the use of iron as a medi-
cine or diet rich in iron as the sole
treatment of his patient
In order to cure anemia ii is OBJ
riously necessary to stop the poison
ing which is responsible for it. and
that Is something which neither
medicinal nor food iron may be en-
pected to do. To be sure. acciden-
tally or incidentally the sources of
the poisoning may be removed or
remedied while a patient is taking
iron in medicine or food. but not be-
cause he Is taking the iron. Thus.
one may begin to spend more time
out in the sunlight. while taking or
eating iron, and sunlight not only
stimulates the manufacture of new

might say that certain tuberculous
individuals who know they are ane-
mic but do not know they have tuber-
culosis may obtain a cure of their
anemia by taking a ehingle nail in
the mouth and walking five miles in
the open air each afternoon, or driv-
ing some iron nails In their broean ms
