CONCERNING HATS AND HAIR Models Illastratlnsr Supplementary Features of Bonnet and Coiffure. The hair must be worn full and fluffy to fill out the eccentric lines of. the modish hats. Where natural hair falls puff must be added, the hair must be lowered slightly, too, and massed all over the back of the head beneath the wide drooping back brim. All of these things are obvious necessities If one Is to meet the millinery, emergencies. Having read the rules as laid down. In tho latest Paris fashion notes woman proceeds to follow them to the best of her ability. Sometimes she succeeds. More BLACK AND WHITE, often she falls, and a theater audlenoe at this fag end of the theater season affords a most depressing study of good Intentions I gone wrong and painstaking effort wasted. : When One does not expect to remove j one's hat until once more In the seclusion j or one s own dressing room the problem of the coffure 1b slightly simplified. With the hair fluffed out and massed at the proper angle and with puffs tucked In here and there where they will do the moat good a fair general effect is obtained, but women who wear their hats to the theater have an amaxlng way of dressing their hair for the j Denent of their hats with naive disregard for the effects when the hats are removed. The new coiffure Is a difficult thing to manage. Women should experiment patiently and ' intelligently with It and should consider It In Its relation to the head as well as to the hat. Otherwise we shall owe the new mlllnery a deep and lasting grudge for the lamentable Influence It has had upon the hair dressing of the average woman. Three women stood waiting for their motor car at the door of a restaurant one day last week and the writer stopped short beside them, lost In wonder at the perfec tion with which their hats and hair were amalgamated. All three hats were of the BROWN AND GREEN, extreme types. Each head of hair con formed docilely to the lines laid down by the hats. One woman wore the tiniest and narrow est of toques, hardly more than a largo bird of lovely shaded coloring perched upon a wisp of tulle, but this odd little hat sat flatly upon the hair, tipping baok a little to show a softly rolling pompadour with no suggestion of stiffness and precision. At the sides and around the back of the head glossy puffs and colls built up the head shape to a compact roundness, so that the toque nestled down among the flutrtness, making no sharp angles with the head line and suggesting a coiffure adornment rather than a hat. Woman No. 2 was gowned In black and a huge plumed hat crowned her head. The wide brim of this hat turned up sharply at the left side, leaving the entire side of the head In view, but here again were the full rolling masses of hair and the clayerly placed puffs softening every angle of union twlxt hat and head. The right side of ths The Packard hat not been cheapened to meet increased cost of material It would be poor economy to sacrifice the reputation we have attained (or the amount involved. Urge though it may be.

PACKARD CO., Brockton, Mass. t ffij -ij.-ggg r!--T!j.r m .rr '.iM-'JiTi ii jj. .-.tij hat and the back were nn avslanche of beautiful blHCk plumes, but the hat, hand some as It was, would have been a failure had not the coiffure o ably supplemented the milliner's efforts. An enormous mushroom hat plume trimmed and set well back on the head t show the front and side hair, but almost entirely hiding the hackvof the head, was the third model but the waving front ROSE AND BLACK. hair was a work of art; for, be It under stood, the masses of hair rolling back from the face must not recall the exag gerated pompadour of baleful memory. Ribbon a Trimming Factor. Ribbon is an Important trimming factor this season and the whole cachet of many a model rests In the tying of a big bow, which is the sole trimming. Big mushroom shapes of burnt straw trimmed simply In swathing folds and an Immense bow of taffeta or messaline are smart for morning wear, and fine straws with narrow front brim, wide, drooping back brim and no trimming save folds of silk around the crown and a big bow at the left side, are extremely popular. Examples of both these allk-trlmmed shapes are given among the sketches and there is another good model also pictured here which has a very narrow, drooping brim In front, a brim wider and still more drooping In the back and a large bow crown, around which Is folded a very wide, soft scarf, hiding all of the crown save Its top. This scarf is tied In a big, soft bow in the back, the loops and ends fall ing low over the brim and hair. Similar scarf trimming Is used upon chic outing hats of Panama or bamboo straw, whose brims turn up saucily In front and droop low In the back. Canvas scarfs In chatmlng colorings are also much used for trimming severe outing hats and tailored hats. The upturned brim In front is one of the season's, novelties and In many of the wlde-brlmmed hats only the edge of the brim In front turns back.. The sketch of a large black crln hat trimmed in black velvet ribbon and huge white egrets will Illustrate what we mean by this descrip tion. The style Is sometimes trying, some times immensely becoming and In any event It demands the services of a very high bandeau around the front of 'he hat The wings used by the milliners are only a shade less lovely than the wonderful ostrich plumes of enormous length and ex quisite shading. Twenty-five dollars a pair is asked for some of the handsome big wings In beautiful color combinations and the wlde-brlmmed sailor trimmed in such wings and worn far enough back on the head to show the front hair Is one of the most successful models of the season. Talkde Parks and Won. Had It not been for a woman's Idea, Bay City, Mich., would probably not now be preparing to convert a nine-acre strip of river front, occupied by business houses, into a public park. The woman Is Mrs. Al fred E. Bousfield, wife of one of the wealthiest residents of the city. He Is also One of the three men who brought tho 1260,000 hotel and auditorium project to a successful Issue. The day the old Fraser house burned Mrs. Bousfield began talking "park" In earnest to her husband. The latter be came impressed with the Idea and he broached It to 8. O. Fisher, president of the board of trade, and C. A. Eddy, his as sociates In tho hotel project. The three gentlemen presented the scheme to the pub lic and it was ratified at the polls election day by a four to one vote. As a result of Mrs. Bousfield's Idea the new hotel will cost $50,000 more than orig inally planned; fourteen new business blocks in the business district are In the hands of the architects', over $40,000 has changed hands In downtown realty; busi ness property has Increased In value from 26 to 100 per cent and buildings valued at $128,000 are to be torn down. Interest In the hotel and park proposi tion, however, had aroused people generally In matters of clvlo Improvement and Mrs. Bousfield, always more , or less Interested in municipal Improvement work by local clubs, took a leading part In the organisa tion of the new Women's Civic Improve ment league. She threw open her home on Center avenue for meetings, to whl"h wo men of all classes of society were Invited. Other wives of wealthy men followed the example and now the membership of -the league Is mounting rapidly toward the 1,000 mark. Chat with a Shopper's Guide. "The secret of my success? Well, I hardly know. . It Is true that I have a fnllnwlnv which extends all over the United ! Etates and that I am consulted about every sort of purchase from a pair of shoes to the furniture for a four-story house. "Yes, one of my greatest achievements Is, I consider, being asked to direct ths purchases of a woman who Is setting up housekeeping for the first time. But for me, she declares, she never would have dreamed of going to housekeeping at all. It happened like this: "My customer Is a woman who never can shop alone, by which I mean that she never can decide which "of two carpets or two gowns or two pairs of gloves she ought to purchase unless a second person puts In a word. And she. doesn't always find It easy to get a companion on her shopping tours, for she has no women relations. . "She came to me for assistance In pur chasing an easy chair to send as a present to a brother-in-law who lives In another state. The selesman did his best, but It mas to me sho 'looked tor help to decide. I gave her all the help I -could ar.d lncl dentally made some remarks on the sort of chairs suitable for different rooms, as asking If she knew what sort of carpet was laid In the room for which the chair was intended and what sort of hangings. "As a result of that one transaction she plucked up courage to begin housekeeping and before she Is dons she will buy several thousand dollars' worth of goods in this house. "The shopping guide supplements the salesman's labor and can do more because she can move about from one department to another as she pleases. "itut no ens must suiibos that a shop. PH guide hu.Ms up a lientole without making nn effort. On the contrary she sends out Innumerable circulars and let ters to persons she knows or has heard of, asking them to apply to her should they need assistance In making purchases when In the store. They may not respond at once, but Invariably a time comes when they remember thnt letter and ask to meet Lthe shopping guide. That Is the beginning. in my case It Is never the end. "The bulk of my time, though. Is spent with customers from out of town. Whether likely to spend $100 or only $1, every cus tomer is entitled to equal consideration at the hands of a shopping guide. "I now have two assistants, who relieve me of some correspondents and telephoning and carrying orders to the different de partments. One of them may develop into a first-class shipping guide; tho other by no possibility could ever succeed In the role, which goes to prove that not every woman Is fitted or can fit herself for the work." MODES IN DRESS MATERIALS Chiffon Voile the Most Popular Fabric of the Season for Gen eral Vse. Stripes continue to be In great demand, and an eloquent commentary upon their place In the modish world Is to be found In the fact that houses which Import ex clusive materials for the fashionable dress making trade are entirely out of striped silks of the soft messaline, radium and handsome foulard types and that very sheer chiffon voiles In striped designs arc becoming very scarce. Chiffon voile Is .really the most popular fabric of the season, and It would be Inter esting to know how many yards of It have been made up by New York dressmakers alone. The fashionable makers recommend It for almost every kind of utility wear and prefer It to the silks, unless one Is willing to use a very sheer silken stuff, such as moussellne, which Is, of course, not suitable for hard service. The very exclusive makers also have a good word to say for crepe de chine and use this material for purposes for which It would have been considered inappropriate a few seasons ago, making morning frocks and little coat and skirt trotting frocks of crepe de chine In excellent quality and In black or the dark or medium colors. The striped silk moussellnes In one tone moussellne and satin, stripes with foulard designs printed all over their surfaces, are used much, as the foulards are for morn ing frocks and all-around service, though the sheerness and delicacy of the material would seem to unfit it for such use. It does, however, give fairly good service and there Is no denying the charm of these simple little frocks. In black and white, dark blue arid white, brown and white, etc., they are not too delicate for common wear, though they are sheer. A most delectable little morning frock was shown recently, made of striped silk moussellne in soft rose and white, made up In the simplest of surplice bodice and tuoked skirt fashions and trimmed only with folds of rose liberty satin and swinging tasBels, which were formed of two passementerie balls, one In white and one in rose, beneath which hung a spreading tassel made of finely plaited Valenciennes lace. The gulmpe and under sleeves were of Valenciennes. TO GIVE LACK TUB IUE OP AGE Keep It Wrapped In Newspaper for Several Months. Now that real old lace Is the rage and comparatively few women are lucky enough to own any there Is a demand for a pro cess by which modern laces may be made to have the real "old" color. Out of the south come all sorts of old fashioned Ideas. An. elderly southern wo woman, hearing; the complaint of a New Yorker that hardly any of her "old" lace really looked the part, gave a recipe for making- new lace look old which she says has never failed In producing the right color. "The whole secret," said she, "lies In a newspaper. We southern women used to put away our fine laces at the beginning of Bummer to keep them nice for the social campaign of the following winter. "We would cut out strips of newspaper a trifle wider than the lace to be tinted and carefully sew the edges of the lace to the paper. Then we woul mak a roll of nws paper. Then we would make a roll of .news ing tube and roll our lace trimmed news paper strips around this with perfect smoothness. "Next we would wrap the whole In blue paper and seal up the ends. In the course of two or three months our lace would have the most perfect "old" look you ever saw. A hundred years couldn't bring about any better results that a newspaper prop erly put on. "I know all about the coPee tint and tea tint and dyes, but nothing-can ever equal newspaper as coloring material for lace where one wants to wear 'heirloom' lace bought about two months ago." Rales of a I.awfnl Boas. By order of the probate court of Chicago, Mrs. Esther Delany, age 22, Is the lawful guardian of her husband, Walter J. Delany, a minor, age 2a Acting up to her high re sponsibilities the legal boss has laid down these rules' for the guidance of her ward: Her husband may smoke ss many cigars or pipes of tobacco as he wishes away from home, but not one In his own domicile.

"The first money which Is made by the promoters of the Streets of Paris, which will open at the Auditorium Monday night, will be used for putting a tile roof on the Auditorium," said Will L Yetter, one of tho directors of the enterprise which has for Its object the raising of funds for the completion of the big building which was built "by the people for ths people." "By putting the tile roof on at once," added Mr. Yetter, "we can save $1,000 a .venr on our Insurance, and that Is quite t. sum and worth saving If a little hustling will do It" The scenery for the streets Is all In place: In fact, most of it was Installed for the Klks" stag social Thursday night, and many most favorable comments were heard on the beapty and general design of the scenery.

"I generally walk downtown In the morn ing," said Joseph B. Fradenburg, a young attorney. "But when the voice of gentle spring calls and the sun Is hot early In the morning I fall from grace and yield to the blandishments of the street car, rock ing on Its gladsome, care-free way toward town. , Mr. Fradenburg assumed a studious ex pression, knit bis beetling brows and con tinued: "How much pleasanter it Is to be riding on a street car, thinking how much pleasanter It Is to be riding on a street car than It la to walk, than It Is to walk and be thinking how much pleasanter It would be to be riding on a street car than It would be to walk."

P. Smith, porter at the Murray hotel, came near being crushed to death under the freight elevator In the Paxton hotel nn evening or two ago. The laundry work of the Murray Is done In the Paxton laun dry basement, and Smith had taken a large basket of laundry over and put It on the elevator to descend Into the laun dry. Returning to the elevator, which had ascended In the meanwhile, through the narrow passage way that leads to It from the laundry, and not knowing that It had ascended, Smith was caught under the elevator as It was descending rapidly. Mr. Smith Is a powerfully built man and tried to force the elevator back by sheer physical force. But It was too much for him and gradually bore him down, doubling him up. He was bent completely double before he succeeded In getting the atten tion of the party working the elevator, and It was hurriedly stopped and reversed. Smith was quickly released from his peril, ous position and suffered no greater mishap than a couple of broken rlhs and a badly wrenched back and shoulders. He will be on the convalescent list for some weeks from his Injuries. T TNCOUTH footwear cannot and never will w bear the Crossett name.
