NOTE FOUND IN
FLOATING BOTTLE
NAME ON SLIP OF PAPER MAY
BE THAT OF WATSON. MISS
ING FOR LONG TIME

Tuesday of last week there was
young woman, Sally TaliaferrO,
swimming at Haven Beach, Flor
ida, when she found a bottle float
ing near the beach.
Swimming to shore the young
lady had the bottle opened and in
it was found a piece of paper with
the following words: Plenty
water, no grocery. Watson and
Johnson, 6-21-36."
A member of the Watson
family, in Key West, brought a
copy of the message to The Citi-
zen thinking there may be a pos
sibility of the Watson in the mes
sage being George Watson who
has been missing since September
2, last year.
R. ]. Watson says his brother
was working on the road last
year with the state road depart
ment and disappeared during the
hurricane.
Although the date Of the slip in
dicates it was placed in the bottle
last month Mr.. Watson believes
there is a possibility of one OF
the men being his brother George
and the slip found in the bottle is
just one of many which have been
intrusted to the water in similar
manner.

Mosaics Found AT Ostia
Show Romans AS Hunters

ROME, July 27.-Ruins just
uncovered at Ostia, port of
ancient Rome, have moved back
two centuries the date for Roman
ceiling mosaics, hitherto believed
to belong to the Byzantine period,
or fourth century.
These mosaics, together with
paintings and statuary, reveal
several hitherto little known facts
Of the period, namely that first
century Romans were diverted by
gazelles brought from the Nile
valley and that Romans of that
period hunted bear and wild boar
as well as lions and gazelles.
An interesting sculptural find
was a five-foot marble statue of
Hygeia, goddess of health.

yourself go in the matter of silk
millinery. Not only are there the
aforementioned bow-trimmed skull
caps in wide profusion but varia-
tions of the popular beret are
shown together with unique types
such as the model conferred below.
The back of it's tiny crown is of
black felt and the front of rust silk
velvet draped softly into an as
cending point in front a perfect
complement to your afternoon out
fit.
This will be a season of color.
Millinery will more than ever tie
up with colors of the costume. Of
course black will be in the spot
light. A large per cent of French
wines, rich reds and aubergine
purple will be worn. Spruce green
is a noted color and olive will be
a highlight novelty. All browns will
be good in lighter casts. Bordeaux,
a wine brown, is also of prime
Importance.
AS to sources of inspiration the
Napoleonic influence has been al
most universally adopted by lead
ing modistes of Paris. Some spon-
sor the military style of the soldiers
of France of that time. Others
CLEAN their inspiration from tn e
conquering armies of North Africa
while still others concentrate on
the soft, luxurious influence of the
gay society of Napoleon's reign.
The beret shown with striking
quill as worn by the figure seated
(note her velvety duvetyne tunic
blouse) bespeaks the military
trend. This model, called march
ing On" by its designer, is proving
favorite in high class shops that
are showing it. The lady pictured
with the voguish be-curled couture
and the blouse elaborated with ap-
plique in leaf design is wearing a
becoming portrait beret designed
by Marthe. 1t has new cire ribbon
accents.

THE early fall hats thrill with
l. excitingly new silhouettes that
fairly make you gasp with their
daring. No style is too dizzy, no
media too extreme to have place
in the smart millinery picture.
In Paris, women of fashion are
wearing tiny skull-cap tltrbans of
black silk velvet that f1aunt enor-
nous bows at the side or on the
forehead. You will be seeing these
bow turbans all over town.
Intricate manipulation is the key
to high style throughout all MILL
merry for fall and winter. 1t is a
well known fact that rich fabric
and ingenious manipulation always
go hand in hand. Which leads us
to say that luxurious silk weaves
are adding big interest to hats ap-
pearing on the autumn style hori-
zon. When choosing your first au-
tumn chapeau look for models in
the new silk satins, the velvets in
rich glowing color, silk taffetas and
the handsome deep-toned velours
and duvetyns such as go to make
up ultra chic headgear.
The newer shapes have rolling
brims with crowns built up to a
peak, for the trend is decidedly
toward tall peaked and conical eff
fects. See one such shown to the
left below in the illustration. 1t is
of spruce green silk velvet covered
with fine vertical stitching. You'll
see lots of stitching on best-looking
hats this fall. Wear this type hat
with your tailored silk or sheer
wool daytime frocks or suits.
Heavy silk velvets of the Lyons
class are being made up in models
with sports type brims. Often
these velvets are combined with
silk faille as manipulated for the
front of the hat to right at top in
the group. This type of hat you
can wear equally well with tailored
silk dresses or with wool dresses
of smart town" character.
It's when you are choosing hat

TREND TOWARD RICH
HUES FOR AUTUMN

A new fashion season means a
new brainstorm for the experts
who must name the featured hues
in women's attire. Every name
must be suggestive Of the hue but
it has to be different from its pre-
decessors, otherwise a woman will
think it isn't new.
For the coming autumn season,
the trend in shades is toward rich
colorings and the names chosen
show tendency toward specific
description rather than fowery
language. Sage green, for exam
pie, looks exactly like the herb for
which is it named. 1t has that same
soft, grayed tone which is unusual
ly lovely. Maple sugar brown is
another new tone which has a pale,
subdued cast that is different from
the browns usually appearing in
the autumn.
