Arizona, in addition to the copper

efficiently, would produce 10000, ,O0p
tons of good grade bituminous, coal.
The coal field was discovered ii,

then included in the San Carlos Indian
reservation, but in 1896 the boundary
OF the reservation was shifted north

be acquired. For time there wa::

very varied. All the shades of blue
for the Spring, beige, green, black,
rose tints and grey are smartly used
for the newest hats.
The popular combination of black
and white has been used by Alice
White for a becoming little turned-up
brim type of hat that she wears in a
scene from her First National film,
"The Sea Tiger"
The season has shown a decided
tendency to introduce capes and coats
that may be worn inside out with
equal smartness. The wrap which
goes to the theater may be worn upon
different occasions and lend an air of
newness upon several occasions. The
sports coat too, may serve two dis
tinct purposes by appearing very diff
ferent when turned inside out. The
formal coat, likewise. may be one
thing on the outside and when re-
versed appear entirely different.
The fur evening wrap that is of
dark fur on one side may be surpris-
ingly different upon the other side
For instance, the evening cape of fur
worn by Natalie Kingston in her First
National motion picture, "The Silent
Lover" is of black Hudson seal upon
one side with ermine used smartly on
the other side. The cape, being inter.
changeable, gives Miss Kingston two
very chic wraps of fur for formal oc-
casions. 1t also provides the very sue
cessful combination of black and
white.
Wraps need not combine themselves
with other furs, but may introduce vel

and follow lines becoming to the close
ly cropped hair. Crowns are apt to
reach smart heights, too, in the straw
hat and are frequently trimmed with
bows or bands of grosgrains for vari-
ETY. or the introduction of color. The
brimless hat in the straw is extremely
interesting. Tucks, leaf shapes in
grosgrain and other novelties are in
troduced in this type of hat.
Ballibuntl straw is again seen. It
usually appears in hats which express
their smartness in interesting brims of
a slightly larger outline. Grosgrain
ribbon again makes itself important in
these hats as smart trimming for a
band around the hat.
Flowers make their appearances
upon many of the new hats. Even the
various versions of the skull caps find
themselves frequently beautified by a
single flower in soft outline or group
of flowers placed at one side of the
loop that comes over the ear.
The large hat apparently will be
seen only occasionally. There are hats
of gracefully dropping lines that are
sometimes seen in all fabrics and &C.
company certain costumes with ex-
IRENE chic, but they are in the minor.
ity.
The draped turban of lustrous silks,
satins and lanes will take its usual
place in the formal scenes. Gay deco
rations of stones are found a smart
trimming for the turban hat.
Crocheted straws are again in vogue
and follow all the interesting lines of
the new season to obtain smartness.
Colors in both straws, grosgrains and
felts are exceedingly beautiful and are
