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. Hon

beautiful blHCk plumes, but the hat, hand
some as It was, would have been a failure
had not the coiffure o ably supplemented

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."

FIRST MONEY FOR TILE ROOF
Use to Which Fnndi from Etreeti of Piris
Wl Fa Devoted.
WILL NET BIG SAVING IN INSURANCE
Scenery fop Blgr Show at Auditorium
la In Place and Contest for
. Queen of May Becomes
More Active.
"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. The boxes have been set
bank and the walls of the street built Just
under the edge of the balcony, so plenty
of space Is left under tho balcony for
booths. These are entered from the street
ri,vra nn1 heautlful archways.
These booths or stores will be given
over to different enterprises. A large
Japanese tea garden will be operated In
one for the benefit of the Clarkson hos
pital to raise money for the new build
ing. Interest Is being worked up over
this scheme for the -hospital, and when
the Streets of Paris are opened next Mon
day hundreds of workers will be found
boosting for the hospital fund. jsvery
drink of Jap tea will be a boost for the
fund.
Women Will Sell Ice Cream.
The women of the Presbyterian churches
will have a large Ice cream booth and If
the weather man keeps pressing the button
as ho has for the last eek, that class
of goods will bo In great demand. The
booths will all be most gorgeously deo
orated and will be beautiful to behold.
Voting In the Queen of May contest will
close a week from Saturday, May 26, and
the young woman having the greatest num
ber of votes will be declared queen and will

TOO MUCH FOR THE LAITY
Yonnsj Lawyer Springs Dos Biting
Story of Intricate Com
plications. "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

CLOSE CALL FOR HIS LIFE
Porter of Hotel Has Narrow Escape
from Death Under an
Elevator.
' 8. 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
