shape is made of fine Milan braki in

roses in several colors, sewed flat to

The walking hat pictured here Is
made of s soft mixed braid, over a

dominating, showing glints of red.
brown purple and nattier blue; a sort
of dark mother-of-pearl coloring called
"macre.” which appears in so many
braids this spring
This braid is sewed, row on row, to
the upper and under brim. The crown
Is a plateau of the braid sewed sepa
rately and afterward draped over the
frame. This Is one of the hats that I
may be successfully made at home If
one starts by selecting the right
frame. It Is trimmed with a large ro
sette. sewed flat to the crown. The
rosette is made of changeable blue
and black taffeta ribbon with a large
velvet-covered cabochon In black at
the center A rosette of wide velvet
ribbon, made of side plaits, arranged
about a cabochon at the center, makes
a handsome finish for this model.
The same hat made in lighter
braids. Is trimmed with flowers In

This shape is almost universally be
coming and is to be worn well down
over tbe head; It is one of the best
models to choose for “all-round” wear

Tbe derby hat in straw, follows
i closely the lines of men's derby’s, and
finds many admirers in the cities,
where It is worn with the "tailor

gay cockade or brush, and worn far
down over the head
The “Wilhelmina.” shown here. Is
i one of the great variety of shapes
having the Dutch cap as their inspi
ration. This one has departed so
far from the original model that one
hardly recognizes it as belonging to
the class. It Is mode over a bonnet
j like wire frame, of a silky, fluted
> braid in a dark amethyst shade. The
u
crown is lengthened and finished with
Jn upturn, cove^id with silk, about
the sides and back. This silk is a
changeable amethyst and rose taffeta.
The hat is finished with a large clus
ter of locust blossoms in light ame
thyst, blue and pink colorings, which
is posed at the back.
There are many developments of
the quaint Wilhelmina bonnet, less
extreme than the smart model shown
here. Lace and flowers trim them and
they are bewitchiugly pretty and
feminine looking. Almost any face
may find the particular variety of this
shape which Is becoming and novel •

The most beautiful and i«■ ■< mitig
of all hats !s the wide-brimu.cU pic
ture hat. It may be worn by any one
on tbe sunny side of sixty, or on the
other side, for that matter, by those
whose looks and bearing belle the
years. It Is made of all sorts of
straw-braids; chip. Milan, hemp. leg
horn. hair Tuscan, etc., and of nets or
laces or chiffon. In fact, every mil
linery fabric is brought Into use for
tbe picture hat.
This year many of the shapes are
manufactured with a black velvet
flange or border on the under brim,
or the entire under brim is faced with
black velvet The hemps, chips and
Milans are dyed in many colors. Mat
tier and light blue, rose and helio
trope being the favorites. Those
shapes that are faced or bound with
velvet provide the easiest and most
satisfactory selection for the amateur
milliner. Such hats are trimmed
with quanities of flower::, and both
silk and velvet ribbon help out In
their decoration. A fine Milan, In the
natural straw-color, trimmed with
roses In their natural colorings and
with black silk or velvet ribbon,
makes a combination always beauti
ful. The same is true of other braids.
The Panama has entered the field of
the picture hat also. It Is now manu
factured In shapes with wide brims.
It remains to be seen whether or not
this incomparably beautiful braid will
strike the right note In a flower
trimmed picture hat
Among these various hats there Is
one for every woman. Let her not
underrate the Importance of finding
her own, nor forget the charm of
flowers. Now that they are so fash
ionable let each one do something to
ward the brightness of Easter by
wearing them. Since the days of the
flower-laden “Merry Widow," such
adorable hats have not been shown
as those which have arrived with
leap year. There is no reason why
the affair of the Easter hat should not
be settled to everybody’s satisfaction.

Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, president

native of Indiana. Sir. Bigelow, who Is
fony-two years of age, has passed
mere than half his life in Ohio, the
state of his adoption. He is a grad
uate of Western Reserve University
at Cleveland »1SS4). Since 1S96 he
has been pastor of the Vine Street

the People's Church and Town Meet

Bigelow has been active in social re

lower cf the late Tom L. Johnson of
Cleveland, ar.d ten years ago was the
unsuccessful candidate of the Demo
cratic party for secretary of state
Mr. Bigelow Is an officer of the Ohio
Direct legislation league. He is a
gifted platiorm speaker and has cam
paigned in the state repeatedly. That
a man o: Mr. Bigelows type—un
doubtedly representative of a large and growing section of public opinion in
ais state—should be chosen to preside over such a body as the Constitutional
convention, indicates that the legal profession, with its conservative tradi
tions. no longer dominates Ohio as it formerly did. The lawyers are In a
minority of the present convention.
A more representative body of men could not readily be found than this
convention, which began its session on January 9. 1912. to be continued prob
ably far into the summer. Of the 119 delegates, about forty-five are mem
bers of the bar and of these at least half have served in congress, on the
bench, or held state office. About thirty are farmers, but not of the “corn
lasse!" variety. With few exceptions they are men of intelligence, of wide
experience, and are quite up to date on the great public .questions of the time.
Four of the delegates are college professors, two or three of whom have been
iifc-long students of constitutional development and of the fundamental prob
lems of political science. Thiee are clergymen, five are physicians, one is a
capitalist, and there is a sprinkling of bankers, business men, and crafts

RECORD HISTORY OF INDIANS
The American Indian is approach- I
ins:, if'indeed he has not already |
reached, the last stage of his native i
existence. Recent reports troni Sit
ka. of the ravages of pulmonary dis
eases among the Indians in Alaska,
where they are leading the lives led
by their fathers, indicate that the In
dian will disapear from the conti
nent unless he adopts the white man's
civilization, and adapts himself to it.
In either case the records of his own
civilization will be lost unless the
government takes immediate steps
toward aiding the Modern Historic
Records' association, or some other
body engaged in a similar work in
preserving some records of the cul
ture, arts, industries and domestic
and social organizations, the customs,
games and pastimes, work and play
of the primitive settlers of America.
Explorers, missionaries, settlers,
Indian fighters, army officers and
scientists are securing valuable vol
umes of information concerning the Red Men. The camera has been called
into play. The series of photographs made by E. S. Curtis, tor J. Plerpont
Morgan, stand first in the museums of America. Now phonographic records
are being made of the music and speech of the Indians, something never be
fore attempted in an effort to preserve the records ot a dying race.
It is predicted by Alexander Konta. chairman of the executive commit
tee of the Modern Historic Records’ association, that these records may
prove of invaluable worth in tracing the origin of the Indian long after he
may have been assimilated or ceases to exist.
The field in Central and South' America is as vast as it is unexploited.
There the highest types of Indians have lived for ages and are still living in
their original condition. In Canada there are thousands of Indians, but they
are going the way of their fathers who once inhabited the entire continent.
To investigate and make records of these people au Inter-American system
is being considered for the taking of living records of the vanishing race.
Moving pictures of the Indians in life have been suggested as one of the most
complete means of preserving the appearance and customs of the Indians
and will be carried on extensively, if government aid is secured in the work.
PEDDLER WHO LEADS AN ARMY
anouia tne reDemon inaugurated by
Kmiliano Zapata result in the over
throw of the Madero government,
there would he added to Mexico’s his
tory a chapter that is unique in this
country.
Previous revolutions have received
tlieir impetus from men of high intel
ligence and usually of culture. Za
pata's most advanced point in the so
cial plane was that of an itinerant
merchant, a peddler. Officially his
name has been written on the rec
ords of hi3 country, prior to the Ma
dero revolution, as that of a private
in the Mexican army. There is one
more entry, that recording his deser
tion from the army.
Those unacquainted with Zapata
frequently make the mistake of styl
ing him an illiterate. That is not true.
He can read and write, and has the
rudiments of a common school educa
Bp_ _ —-non. Aciaea 10 mai, ne possesses a
shrewdness which, combined with a
stubbornness, a personal magnetism and a bravery which no one denies,
makes him a person truly formidable.
Steadily his forces grew as they had during the days of Madero’s re
volt, until on February 1 of this year he found himself at the head of forces
to such numbers as to cause the federal government to send against him a
large part of the government troops.
PREDICTS ONLY THREE NATIONS
Hudson Maxim, the inventor, de
clares that in a very short time there
will be only three countries in the
world.
‘Some time ago, in talking with
Lord Wolseley, he told me that in
the future there would be only twp
countries in the world, and those
would be China and the ■ United
States," says Mr. Maxim in an inter
view published recently.
“Now I want to say something
stronger than that. In a very shoe
time there will be only three coun
tries in the world, and they will be
the United States of Asia < including
Europe), the United States of Africa
and the Uhited States of America.
"Look at the world’s progress in
the last 150 years. See what Japan
has done in fifty years. Then im
agine what is the future of the new
Chinese republic, witn its 400,000,000
people.”
In the opinion of former Senator
Charles A. Towne of Minnesota, the immediate future promises some big
wars.
“Even our own country can't boast much of its peace proclivities," he
said, “considering the way It has treated the United States of Colombia in the
Panama matter. Germany and England are in exceedingly sensitive relations
just now. and so are Japan and the United States. China, too. may soon fall
Into a state of absolute anarchy, and there are bound to be clashes if it comes
to dividing China up among the powers.
