FLOWER HATS SURE TO RECOME POPULAR Seauty Of Natural Flowers dive Milliners Strong Argu ment In Its Favor. The Indisputable beauty of flowers Aas given milliners strong arguments for launching the flower hat upon the ■nllllnery tide. With becoming grace ful lines in the straw or fabric shape the touch of Flora makes assurance double sure. To be sure, blossoms of *11 sizes, materials and colors must be worn with a difference. Th^ro is chic In the wired bunch, the twisted stem, the tight cluster, it is here that the artist has opportunity for his gift. Look at the exploitations of the favor it type of summer hat In any mllln , try establishment. Look and learn. On a large supple straw there Is used a border of heavy embroidery facing the upturned brim. At the side a quill of shaded yellow roses gives the sum mer’s touch. The flower quill Is one of the season’s hallmarks. It Is easily made and holds many decorative pos sibilities. Why not make a flower orna ment to fasten your summer hut? Blossoms In pule pink are combined with pink roses on a serviceable black chip. The flowers are placed at the front and slant backward over the crown. These clustered flowers are always fascinating. In that they give great masses of color. Pansies for thoughts! Here Is a flower that trims a quaint little bon net holding decided charm. The flat flowers are applied in rows around the crown, whilo loops of Iridescent ribbon extend backward from the flower crown. This Idea for any medium sized blossom Is excellent. Be sure to repeat the colors of the flowers In the allk bow. Much emphasis has been placed on the flower-trimmed brim. In one pop ular model we have a wreath of roses on the underbrim. The decoration has been moved by the milliner to the un derside of the hat. Nothing appears on top. The silk pulling Is the only other touch. Easy, Is It not? Carrying forward the handmade flow er of the winter, we have fine shirred ruffles of silk, forming leaves and petals. The stems aro wired, and the combination gives an unusual effect. On one lovely hat the large flat flowers are placed under a chiffon facing on the brim. A silk flower ornament Is the side decoration. Roses and lilacs form the crown of a mushroom shape. These are placed In a compact wreath around the top. Coarse ecru lace covers the rest of the hat. The pink and lavender combina tion is enjoying Purls favoritism. Copy It, If becoming. A heavy line of double popples Is the simple, effective decoration on a broad flat shape. The brim Is slightly turned and the flowers are placed In an unusual straight line. It trails across the brim and over the crown, then down on the other side. SILK ST0CKINGS A clever girl has mastered the silk Stocking problem In a way that will be possible for every girl and woman to ■copy If they arc hampered with a ltm 'Ited purse, yet love the daintiest of •footwear, says the New York Press. Perhaps she has several pairs of stlk stockings that hove Worn ottt In the ■feet, leaving the legs and upper pnrt ■entirely good. For SO cents a pair she can purchase boys’ silk socks In black ■and colors; then, cutting the wornout feet from her own stockings, can "Join the new socks to the upper portion of her stockings and have a perfectly good pair. Slip the cut end of the old stockings down and underneath the ribbed por tion of the sockH, spread them opart as wide as possible over your hand, and sew around with silk mutchlng the col or of the Bock. The work can be done on the sewing machine by basting the two edges. FASHION’S FRILLS. With th© fashionable deep collar, wider girdles are apt to be worn. The left side and front fastening Is still used on the one-piece dress. Some of the vests are beautifully embroidered In oriental colors. Many of the new long, dress sleeves are set on a long shoulder line. Evening bodices are often outlined sflth a line of strasa or rhinestones. Even when plaits are used on skirts 'the narrow outline Is preserved. Turn back cuffs or lace frills finish ing long sleeves are one of the most Incoming of the new fashions. i SCRAP BAG, * w— A scrap bag to hnng at the side of the sewing machine Is a great con venience. Take a pretty piece of cre ■ tonne n yard long and 12 Inches wide, sew up like a bag and make a casing over a small wooden embroidery ring for th* top. Sew on braid for hanging ur. w-lth bows on sides where the braid Is fastened to the ring. TO CLEAN PAPER. To make a paste that will clean wall paper, mix a quart of flour with 5 cents' worth of ammonia and enough water to make a stiff dough, and knead until smooth. Then wipe the paper with the dough, working It so that a clean surface will be presented with every stroke, and the wall paper will look like new. KEEF^ HOUSE COOL. Very early In the morning every door and window should be opened to the widest extent for two hours, says the Philadelphia Times, and then, when the sun Is hot. It Is shut out by closing the doors and also the windows, ex cept about three Inches at the bottom and top. All the blinds are drawn to imeet the little space left open at the lower sash. Not only the hot rays of the sun are excluded by this means, t>ut the fresh air can come In and cir culate right through the house. I ' • " Like Cures Like. From Puck.

THIS YOUNG AMERICAN PEERESS BREAKS PRECEDENT AND LIVES HAPPILY WITH A LORD. WHO ACTUALLY LOVES HER. IT IS SAID » In these daye when the air !s ao full of rumors of unhappy Interna tional nykrrlages. Its Is pleasant to note that at least one American girl la living, happily with a foreign noble man. She Is Lady Ashburton, and was formerly Miss Francis Donelly, daughter of J. C.

I Lady Ashburton. I ----— Doing Winter Shopping Now Autumn coats are appearing In the shops, but summer wraps are still be ing worn and many of them are per fectly adapted to autumn wear. In fact It would be quite possible to make these summer wraps do for winter If sne would but do a little clever alter ing. and that fact should be taken Into •onsldcratlon by the woman who has to make her dress allowance go far. Of course not all of the hot weather wraps are capable of such extended iervice. Some of them are such mere 'obwebs, such sheer outlines of cov erings. that no amount of changing would successfully convert them Into winter garments, but there are others which are being offered at low prices lust now and which with the addition of fur or velvet would do duty satis factorily for evening wear next win ter. says a New York Sun writer. The most adaptable of the hand some summer wraps are probably those of soft satin or silk, cluny draped and obtaining a modish air more byline than by detail. There are plenty of these In the summer showing, and some that were priced high at the beginning of the summer are now marked down to half the original price or even less. One woman, who dresses well on a small Income, remarked while lunch ing with friends at a restaurant the other day that she had run In from the shore resort where she Is spending her summer for the express purpose of doing her winter shopping. Linen and Lingerie Frocks j Wash frocks In softest French linen ire having an unprecedented vogue, writes the Paris correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune. They are seen In all the dull tones of rose, blue, gray, green and In an odd smoky shade of mauve. In the piece, these tones look as though they had not been properly ilyed, but made up they are immensely chic. All the designs are simple. The smartness is chiefly in the cut of the skirt and the' way in which the blouse clings to tho figure without Indicating :v deliberate fit. Of course, no woman does have her corsage actually fitted to her these days. She merely gets her measurements taken and the modiste does the rest. Certainly the modiste does wonders with the French linens used for mornings near the sea. One confection that is easily got Into since It fastens down the front, was a klmona blouse with sleeves wide to the Elbow and from there buttoning tightly to the wrists. Its fronts, crossing half SOFT HATS. Brown and white corduroy hats which ire excellent for motoring or general wear and Eorge hats of the same sort ire round and soft, trimmed only with i narrow band and a tiny fancy feath er at the side.—New York Herald. TO STOP'SAGGING. When placing a patch pocket on a coat of woolen or silk material slip a narrow piece of featherbone through the top hem and catch It fast to each side when you stitch the pocket In place, says the New York Press. This will prevent the pocket from sagging at the top, no matter how much weight there is placed in it. TO SAVE LINEN. If you desire to store your linen for any length of time, never starch It. says the Philadelphia North American. It will crack and wear more quickly than if constantly in use. Rinse the articles quite free from starch, dry and fold away in blue paper. This will pre vent them from turning yellow. Cupid in Girl’s Clothes. Wheeling, W. V., Telegram to the New York Tribune. That *Cupid Is entirely too wary for severe and designing mothers was proved here, when George Jarrett, 17 years old, was. ordered by the mother of his sweetheart, winsome little Leila Orne, of the same age, not to see her daughter again. Mrs. Orne gave as her reason that the sweethearts were too young. The question of age never entered Into Jarrett's consideration at all, but when the girl's mother peremptorily ordered him to cease his visits he never whimpered. "They can't keep us apart,” said George. "I'll fix a way,” and he did. Going home, George borrowed his sister's clothing and with her help he was soon transformed into a pretty young miss of about the same age as his sweetheart. Jarrett then called on Leila and her mother, thinking the "pretty young caller" was an old friend of her daujtfiter, admitted him. The ruse worked for several weeks, but at last the truth was out. The mother relented and now George calls as "best man." The young couple belong to promin ent families. Congress. From the Chicago Tribune. Senators talking war.

This skirt Is so slight ly gored that it needs must be gath ered at the top, but all of this ful ness is over the sides. Directly across the front and back of the hips a plain piece of the material, starting from the right side overlaps the left side, from belt to hem, in a wide perpendicular tuck which below’ the knee Is garnished with a row of five crystal buttons of generous size.

Not far from Boston is located the well which inspired the familiar llnetf of Sam uel Woodworth to the" “Old Oaken Bucket.’’ Every time this place is visited many new traditions are told concerning the famous old bucket, about which reo ple have been singing these many years. Having drunk deep of the sparkling wa ters. between whistled snatches of the fa miliar refrain, how disconcerting it was to have the charm broken by learning that the original “Old Oaken Bucket” was stolen shortly after his well-knoWh poem became famous. The youngest daughter of Samuel Woodworth, the author, died recently in Berkeley. Cal., and she often used to tell about the real old oaken bucket and of the sadness which came over the house hold on the day it was stolen. There is no other water bucket in the world so enshrined in homely' genuine romance as this one Even the golden goblets of royalty and the treasured chalices of the Crusaders have never awakened the uni versal and popular interest attained by the “Old oaken bucket that hung In the well” until it was stolen and carried away In the zenith of its fame. Alvo Yusuph. chief judge of Bagdad, was remarkable for the modesty which accompanies wisdom. Once, after a long investigation of the facts of a case, he publicly confessed that his knowledge was not sufficient to enable him to decide it. “Pray.” said a pert courtier, “do you ex pect the caliph to pay you for your ig norance?” “I do not,” meekly answered the judge: “If he were to attempt to pay me for what I do not know, the treasures of his empire would suffice ' LINGERIE FROCK IS BEST FOR MORNING French Women Inclined To Ac cept It As Season’s Most Adaptable Creation. Next to linens the French woman seems to favor the lingerie frock for mornings. This never Is an elaborate affair, yet none the less is it a confec tion. And usually it is of white and a color. That is to say that a frock of fine white voile is likely to show on its narrow and clinging skirt a scant flounces of color striped voile. This flounce is as different from the flounces of 12 years ago as are the plaitings of 1906 from those of the pres ent season. If the fashionable flounce were caught in at its lower edge it quite easily could pass for an applied bordering. This characteristic is fur ther borne out by its odd shaping, for it often is higher at the sides than else where. On several ultra-smart white voile frocks recently seen, a sort of panel, starting from the left upper edge of the trimming, extends as high as the knee. Wide bands of the color-striped material are used for chevrons running from the throat across the shoulders, and half way down the sleeves of the blouse. Striplngs also show in the frills at the elbows, in tile little loops defining the low-cut over-w'aist and in the neck band and short Jabot on the white mull guimpe. And this color in variably is repeated in the hand-em broidered pattern decorating the blouse at front and at back. MELON SEASON IS NOW AT ITS HEIGHT New Ways Of Serving Delicacy Outlined—To Be Right, It Must Be Chilled. A melon eaten directly from the gar den may be delicious without being chilled, for it is presumably at Us best and perfectly ripe, but even then it' would be improved by cooling well. The melon that you buy, especially if it grew many hundreds miles away, was picked before it reached the state of melting sweetness. Chilling will bring out whatever flavor and sweetness there may be, but if eaten without this preparation it is apt to have an insip id taste. A melon cut in a series of points through the center and then pulled apart makes a pretty bit of color on the sideboard, but to most people it is a little too much like dexterity to eat daintily the wedges of melon with rind attached and this way of serving is especially awkward for children, who generally fail to keep the Juices from the cloth. There are two better ways to serve the pink flesh of a watermelon: cut the melon in halves and press in a sharp edfeed kitchen spoon, twist it round twice each way and draw out an egg-shaped piece. Lay these pink eggs on cracked ice and carry to the table. Or cut ir, slices two Inches thick, run a small knife round to separate the rind from the pulp, then cut in wedge shaped pieces like a layer cake or a pie. Wash cantaloupes, cut in halves and take out the seeds. Chill before serv ing and have powdered sugar for those who like this addition. The cantaloupe is especially a breakfast melon and there are fads for seasoning it with pepper spice and other additions which are but attempts to paint the lily. Taking It Very Badly. From Tit-Bits. A San Francisco motherinlaw went to the Orient and, coming back, was caught trying to smuggle in a lot of choice silks. She had to pay her duty and a fine. Then there was talk of a criminal ac tion to follow. Her sonintaw called on the customs officials. "Is It possible,” he asked, in a severe tone, "after my motherinlaw has paid the duty on her stuff and her fine that you contemplate criminal ac tion?” "We are considering it.” the cus toms official replied gravely. "And if my motherinlaw were to be convicted, as she probably would be, she would have to go to Jail?” "I think so.” “Do you mean to tell me you in tend to do this to a woman—a woman who has already expiated her fault and recompensed the government?” "I do; but look here, old chap, don’t take this too hard. I've got to do my duty, you know. Don’t feel so badly about it.” "Badly.” shouted the, sonlnlaw, “why my dear sir. this la. the first gleam of sunshine that hag-entered my home 1 In 20 years.” t SOUTHERN NIGERIA * X WORLD’S DARK SPOT X From the London Telegraph. P. Amaury Talbot, a district commis sioner for Southern Nigeria, accom panied by his wife, has just returned from nearly two years’ traveling In parts of Nigeria, large portions of which have never before been visited by a government official, and certainly nev er by a white woman. For the first time a survey, anthropological, botan ical, and in parts geographical and zoo logical, has been completed almost un interruptedly from the Gulf of Guinea right through to Central Africa. Describing some of his experiences in the Southern Nigerian bush—the home of witchcraft—Mr. Talbot said: “The bush with its soft green twi light, dark shadows, and quivering lights, Is peopled by many terrors, but among these ’Ojie,’ or witchcraft, reigns supreme. The bird which flies in at your open door in the sunlight, the bat which circles round you at night, the small bushbeasts which cross your path while hunting, all may be familiars of witch or wizard or even the latter themselves, disguised to do you hurt. Sometimes the terror of witchcraft will scatter a whole town. "Should the suspicion of witchcraft fail upon anyone, only trial by ordeal can free him. The most usual one is that of eating esere, a poisonous bean, which almost invariably kills the sus pected person. The ordeals of boiling oil poured upon the palms of the hands, and of peppercorns Inserted In the eyes, are far less dreaded, not only because their results are practically never fatal, but because the physical anguish en tailed is acknowledged to be less in tense than that caused by esere,” One of the most interesting discover ies was that of the Lake of the Dead, in the Oban country. “The name of this lake,” said Mr. Talbot, "occurs in many of the tribal songs, but for a long time I could not discover the meaning of the word, and all inquiries failed to elicit Information, and when I believed I was in the neigh borhood of this haunted spot and alter ed my course my carriers begged to be allowed not to proceed, and were left behind. After a struggle through dense bush we could see the edge of a sheet of water, along the banks of which were the holes of crocodiles, whose tracks covered the shore. “The scene was a weird one; the sur face was absolutely still, and round about were bushes 10 feet high with what were apparently great tufts of creamy flowers. Those, however, prov ed to be nests of tree frogs. The place is a sanctuary for all wild things, for no hunter would dare to penetrate the bush to this dreaded spot. As we stood1 at the edge, gating out over the water, its quiet was suddenly broken by a broad ripple, and little ftsh were seen to spring agitatedly above the surface, A great python was crossing, and this, we learned, shared with the crocodiles the guardianship of the sacred lake. "Nothing, we were Informed, musl be allowed to trouble the water or even to touch its outer edge, or a famine and pestilence would ensue. Here, ac cording to popular belief, come by night the ghosts of long dead Ekio, to drift in sad companies, hopeless and wailing, over the surface of the water. Even In the bright sunlight the place has an uncanny look, and one can easily Im agine that at midnight, when the whits mists shimmer ghostlike in the light of the moon, people with the terror and mystery of the ‘bush’ in their blood would rather sit chatting round the fire or dance by torchlight In the open spaces of the towns, than seek out this uncanny spot, on the chance of hold ing communion with the spirits of their long dead kin.” The Kaisers Memoirs. From the Indianapolis News. Since his coming to the throne, in 1888, Kaiser Wilhelm II. has been writing his memoirs, giving half an hour a day to that work. He says that these writings are not to appear until 10 years after his death, and it may be, if he becomes dis satisfied with his work, that he will throw it into the fire. It is said that some of his Intimates, who have seen some pages of his manuscript, speak of the great frank ness and candor with which he writes off his own ministers and those of other sov ereigns, of his relatives and of his allies. It is said that these memoirs will disclose i great affection for the empress, though a few reproaches, without bitterness, at tend the praise. Among the Interesting chapters are said to be those in which he discusses his uncle, Edward VII., his ele gance of manner and dress. The kaiser, it is well understood, has never been able to dress himself with the refinement of h'.s uncte, and he never could wear a hat with the grace of Edward VII. “There's a Reason" for Rain. From the Chicago Tribune. The following telegram was sent by Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the United States wreather bureau, to the Battle Creek Industrial association in regard to C. W. Post’s claim of producing rain at Battle Creek during the night off July 23: “You telegraphed this office last night that four hours’ dynamiting beginning at S> o’clock Tuesday brought half an inch of rainfall at Battle Creek beginning at 3:30 in the afternoon, and you say people are satisfied the Post system of rainmak ing is successful. “Your claim is without justification, as the rain which you claim to have caused began Monday morning in the Dakotas. By Tuesday morning it had covered both Dakotas, Minnesota, upper Michigan, and the greater part of Wisconsin. By Tues day evening it had extended all over low er Michigan. “This was exactly as forecast by the weather bureau. Your experiments had no more to do with causing rain that fell Tuesday in lower Michigan than they had in causing rain that occured hours before In upper Michigan and Wisconsin.’’ In Old Age. From the Kansas City Star. In the state of Massachusetts there are 41,000 persons 65 years old or over, who are dependent on outside help for their living. This fact was discov ered after a careful Investigation by a commission appointed by the state leg islature two years ago. The aid they receive is estimated at more than $6. 000,000. If the same condition holds through out! the United States, relative to pop ulation, there are 1,123,000 dependent old persons in the country, supported at an anual const of $179,000,000. This expense cannot be escaped. It is part of the cost of modern civiliza tion. Somebody has to meet it. The problem set forth in these figures was what the progressive convention had in mind when it adopted the plank urging “the protection of home life against the hazards of sickness, irregu lar employment and old age, through the adoption of a system of social in surance adapted to American use."

Curtis Former Secretary Of Play ground Association. TEACHES A BOY LOYALT1 Famous Organizer Of Play Advocate* the Promotion Of the National Pastimo Among Youths Of Today. Chicago, Aug. 24.—“Playing baseball *'lth a regular team teaches a boy loy alty and Instills social lessons that will altect his whole life. Competition with the ordinary back-lot nine will not do this. Therefore, get the boys to work on permanent teams and reap the bene fits of organized recreation.” This was the pronouncement pn the national game made by Dr. Henry S. Curtis, former secretary of the Play ground Association of America, in a lecture on play at the University of Chicago. The athletic authority de clared the game as played by pickup teams on vacant lots to be a much overrated institution because of its emphasis on individual performances. Dr. Curtis handed the educators something like a shock when he de clared that geography and mathema tics were by no means so large a part of a boy’s education as they are gen erally regarded in schools. The im portance of athletics as a beneficial agent in bringing up the young is not realized, he declared. Encourages Clean Living. "Nothing in the world takes hold of a young man like athletics,” he said. “Sports encourage clean living. The boy and the young man know that it is bad sportsmanship toward those who are depending on their success to go out of training in season. Consequent ly they have good health and good thoughts at the same time. "Games, such as baseball, give the boy a fine conception of the law. The young American is getting his con ception of the law today largely from the games he plays: We always have to teach baseball to the boys. We have when we organize a branch of ath letics in any community. The rules of the game are a part of the moral law of a boy. If he breaks these laws he is likely later to break the laws of the community in which he lives. 1 “When we go into a large city and talk to the common council concerning the establishment of playgrounds, some one always asks if we think we have to teach baseball tothe boys. We an swer that we do, for the great majority of our boys do not know the real game. If you think the ordinary baseball oi the back lot is the real thing you are mistaken. "When 18 or 20 fellows choose up fot a game, the individual always playj merely for himself add does not care for the team. He never learns loyalty or baseball in this way. On the othej hand, if he belongs to a permanent team, he learns to- subordinate himseli to the team. One of the things that modern civilization stands for most it the ability of large masses of people tc work for a common good. Baseball teaches this. Teaches Loyalty. "In the playground, for instance, th« boy finds that the Judgment on his play Is not an individual, but a social Judg ment. He la Judged solely on the ef fect of his play on the team as a whole Our best organized games are teaching loyalty Just as much as the school teachers are teaching mathematics. "This thing which the boy learns ii baseball is the same thing that is sailed good citizenship as applied to a city and patriotism as applied: to the na tion. "Every city owes it to its chilren t< provide playgrounds. Hundreds of chil dren were recently arrested in New York for playing on the streets. Th« city that says the children may noi play on the streets and yet furnishet them with no other place is running « school of crime. In a case of this kind we are not dealing with delinquent chil dren, but with delinquent cities." How Life Looks. Ta Pessimist. Keep out. j Dangerous. J No smoking. W Beware of the dogs.
