Tha high crown la not to rrlgn alone In tha new millinery, but It la the most pro- turanoed Innovation offrntl so far, and 1 consequently fixes one's attention. It Is . associated with brim of all kind, narrow, medium, wide, rolling, drooping, stralKht, i frOJed. and It appears with Us outlines sometimes sharply definite, sometimes soft ned by swathing; scarfs, flowers, etc. The Vary small hat with the very hish severe crown la of course distressingly trying. Not one woman In a thousand con actually , look well In it, but when such a hat Is be coming It Is excessively chic, provided al ways that It Is In itself successful. Models of thl type are shown by all the j Importers, the extremely high crowns being 1 more or less on the Jam pot lines .and ' trimmed In close folds or a wide band of Milk or velvet, whllo upstanding wings or feathers of some sort are set on the left aide. The narrow brim rolls more or less Closely, the roll being more pronounced at the loft front or quite at the left side than elsewhere. Superbly embroidered bands of velvet, ret, or In some cases straw, are much tiaed upon such models, and indeed are to bs seen upon high crowned hats of all types; and noma of these bands, exquisite I In color and workmanship, add amazingly ! to the price of a hat. If a mass of alsrette, ' lyre bird plumes or Boma other fine, rare Gossip About Women in Various Walks of Life Great Field for Voan, O THE! hundreds of poor restless Women who worry and waste precious energies striving after some Imagined pleasure beyond their reaoh, Mrs. Klla Wheeler Wilcox points out the road lead T ing to practical peace and per manent benefits. It Is the old but ever new ambition, the unfailing glory of wom anhood, the creating of a pleasing home. Mrs. Wilcox says: , It may be said In reply that an attrac tive home In these days necessitates an outlay of money and that only those who have large Incomes can enjoy such a spot. But this la not the fact. A real desire for such a home, a will ingness to work for It, a determination to possess It and a vary small outlay of money iwlll create the home of beauty. Ten cents will purchase any one of a half dozen magazines containing practical hints to women possessed of any taste re garding the furnishing of simple rooms. How much better spent are the 10 oents and the hour devoted to reading and study ing up on the subject of home decorations than the hour passed In restless discontent, or the perusal of exalting fiction or vicious tales of scandal. The Influence of a clean, orderly and attractive borne on men and children la In calculable. ( A pretty and orderly home Is a step toward morality and religion. One often hears women In miserable, d s ordorly and Ill-kept homes talking of tieaven. But what are the characteristics of heaven supposed to be? Can one Imagine a topsy-turvy heaven? "Would not the very first rule' of heaven he order? And beauty and cleanliness would be Indlspenslble. If we did not find these things In heaven I am sure we would complain that we had been led there by false promises. Every home should be a small heaven. It should be made a spot toward which the tired and hungry toller turns with weet anticipations of rest, comfort and satisfied longings. . It should appeal to the eye, and to tho heart and soul. Does your home so appeal, dear hvdy? Are your windows softly draped with clean curtains, even if they are only of the most Inexpensive stuff;-? Is your table neat, and your couch com fortable and clean, and is there a ru.f or two on the well kept floor, and a soft rPr hade over the glare of tha lamp? And is your bed neat, and is there a clean towel by the wash bowl? Does the home invite or repel the weary traveler? Whatever else In life you cannot do, you can make such a home if you will. Perhaps you will say that you are so unhappy because of the Indifferent hus band, who la never at hme, that you have Bo heart to keep things up. But that la no excuse. It Is much more romantic to bo miserable In attractive sur roundings than In squalor und dirt. Make yourself a charming little bower, and then sit down and be mtserahlo If you like. Perhaps you will be so entertained by your work in beautifying your house that you will forget about belli miserable. And perhaps your husband will forget to be negligent. Anyway, try the experiment.

However, such ex travagance is not the common thing, though It is com- SOME OF THE good to need to be religious, " was the reply. The story of her faithfulness seems to anxious housewives almost too good to be true. Yet there are other long records of loyalty. Bridget O'Donnell, who died In New York City In December, 1005, had been for sixty- one years In the family of the late John J. Crane. Kllen Fleming had given fifty-four years of service -to the Ioavenworth and Cameron families, united by marrlugo, when she died In Madison avenue,- New York, four years ago. Margaret Lawlor, dead since early in l'.B, had a record of thirty-eight years with the Chickerlr.g family. Margaret Terry had been house keeper for Jay Gould and Miss Helen Gould tlilrty-one years when she died last January. The case became locally famous In 11 of Ernestlna Hirsh, who had then Served forty-nine years in the home of Mrs. Levy. "In these Instances," says the New York World, "thfero must have been for other mistresses and maids object lessons ln- numerable in the practice of mutual con- sideration.' "Well-to-Uo Woman Begglag. Unable to dress as she wished on her husband's income of J70 a week, Mr-.

When told of her detention her husband expressed groat Batisfoctlon, declaring his wife had o humiliated him by her double personality that ha had been compelled to move from place to place. "We were married seven years ago," he told a reporter, "and went to Haverhill, Mass., to live. . There my wife would put on rags In the daytime, blacken the face of our 4-year-old son, Joseph, and take him Into the streets to beg. For some time I did not know of this, and when she would come home at night with $8 or $10 she would tell mo she got it by working. "Finally she was arrested and the dis grace was so great I moved to New Yoik. In addition to Joseph we brought with us our boy Max, aged 3, and our daughter Etta, aged 1. "I secured a position at $40 a week, but this was not sufficient for my wife to dreBS on, and I borrowed money to tf into the restaurant business. Occasionally she would leave home and for a few days I would not hear a word from her. I saw her on the street several times at night, dressed In the height of fashion, but during the day she would wear rags. Her taste for fine dress and expensive living has kept me In debt ever since we were married." The woman, who Is remarkably pretty, la less thun 30 yeurs old.

This will console her for the absence of much sliver, Jewelry, napery and bric-a-brac, which is never Just to the bride's taste, anyhow. How much better It will be for her to buy them for herself in this tury." new and reformed twentieth cen- Ntw Society of Womea. It Is worth noting that the new society of sponsors of the United States navy, composed of the beautiful women who from time to time in the last twenty years have christened United Slate warships, Is to be hereditary In Its membership aftor the charter members have passed away. There was not the slightest opposition to the motion that the privilege of member ship should descend to the first daughter of each sponsor, and then to the first daughter of the first daughter forever and ever. The perpetuity of the society thus seemed nicely settled when some one In quired what would happen If a sponsor's children were all boys. Here was an un foreseen difficulty and how It will be over come does nbt appear, for a motion that the membership should be Inherited by an eldest son, in case there were no girls In the family, was promptly and emphatically rejected. In any event, the society of sponsors fills a long-felt want In this country. tore and Marriage Abroad. The Ruropean man thinks he knows the American girl, but he Judges her by the girls of his own country and therefore en tirely misunderstands her, says a writer In Everybody's Magaulne. He cannot com prehend the healthy nnromantic friend ships that exist in America between boys and girls, who see each other under aJl sorts of informal circumstances and yet need have no thought of love or sentiment. He thinks the American girl has had long experience In the ways of men, and that she Is as well versed In the manner of lovers as the experienced married flirts of Parisian and Roman society. Used to men she Is, but not to the sort of men she meets for the first time abroad. She Is used to the type of boy "that she has known nil her life." She can fathom whnt he thinks on pretty much any subject, and whether he Is in love with her or not Is a matter that she can decide without much danger of mistake. Above all, the American youth Is outspoken and frank. He ha no hidden or ulterior motives; he spends little time In dlscusslnir what he thinks. He likes best to show his muscle and his skill In ath letics, and the Intimacy between boys and girls Is founded on doing things together, riding, swimming, pluying tennis or coast ing and skating; not on talking of Ideas. Yet and this Is very Important and also very difficult to express: In the minds of American young men love and marriano are svnonymous. To the Kuropean love Is love und marriage Is marriage; the two have not of necessity any connection. Practically every woman over here must make up her mind to accept her hurhand's Infidelity. Not open infidelity; he will never force the fai t upon your notice, and If you choose to see no farther than you are Intended to rep, you may remain where Ignorance Is-soothing to your pride. The Infidelity of your husband may be a hard thing to determine, even If you try, because all you ask of him, all the time that you want him to spend with you, he gives you. His evenings are invariably spent with yon, whether you go out or slay at home. He never neglects you In any way that you ran take exception to. If he U having "an affair," It Is most likely to be with a woman who Is intimate at your house, and nothing In the manner of either will ever give an inkling of the state of things. Italians as a rule do not care for women of the slase; they prefer women In their own sphere of life, women of title and position.

A great deal of silver embroidery Is to be worn this spring and one notes with some dismay how tinetwury (Ids silver em broidery is to the nice costume. Dinner gowus are trimmed vita wide flounces at things Is the use of pongee as ha covering, usually, though not al ways. In combination with straw. For ex ample, one may have, as In a hat sketched here, a crown of straw and brim of smoothly drawn pongee; or, perhaps, the crown will be of the pongee and the brltn of straw, or the crown and upper part of the brim may be pongee-covered, while the brim Is faced with fine straw. Hats covered smoothly with satin or slik have become familiar to us during the last year, but the use of pongee is new ard distinctively summery In suggestion. Scarfs or bows of pongee and buckles covered with ponged are also In evidence, and the pongee frocks, which promise to be extensively worn, will consort most amicably with such features of the new millinery. The hat of tulle or lace Is always a spring and summer favorite, and some very fetch ing hats of shirred net, with hlKh crowns and wide, picturesque brims, rolling at the left front and s'd und droorlng at the back, are trimmed in masses of upsturding otrlc!t plume egrets, the high crow n he nn en circled with one of the handsome embroid ered bands or a folded scarf. Several models from one Tarislan maker show the crowns trimmed as in the largo hat pictured here, overlapping loops of velvet ribbon running from top to bottom of the crown at Intirvuls of about f mr Inches. From this same autocratic derign r come two medium sized model.!, fiult trimmed. One o' these, in f e lb'. -, creamy straw, re sembling l'unania. had a mediU'ii wido brim rolling somewhat sharply a l.ttle to the left of the front and drooping In the bak. The crown was hic;h. but Its sharp outllm was hidden by tho trimming, a comblnat on of knots of light, silvery blue velvet ribboa and little hunches of fri:U tiny peaches ex quisitely natural In texture and coloring. The description sounds bizarre, but the hat was by no means bizarre or con spicuous, and the color scheme, thanks to tho soft, fuzzy bloom over the mellow peach tones was dellclously harmonious. The othor hat, less original, but very chic, was In natural tone pongee and fine straw, the same color, trimmed In a soft scarf of the pongee, bordered by cherry rtd, and It; and the simplest of reception dresses have sleeves, trimmed as to the shouldprs, with a deep silver shoulder cap. Silver and gray are much worn by white haired and blonde women, who find silver becoming. And there are gowns of rose. In a pale shade, trimmed with bands of silvered work around the hem and across the bust, that are equally beautiful. Heavy coats will be much worn with light thin skirts, and It is considered de cidedly smart to don a dress of silk mull, In a pale tone of mustard or pink; and to put on over It a ooat of heavy cloth, or of seal, or caracul. Separate dark heavy coats are worn with the thinnest and finest of gowns. Many d rem. makers consider It yet more or less of a mooted quostlon whether coats for the spring season shall be long or short. As a matter of fact, not of conjecture, the coats that really typify the new season's styles will be two-thirds or three-luarter length, although this may apply only to the points front, back or sides. Embroidered waistcoats are worn by women who liks to have something out of the ordinary. Taffeta Is worked in va rious floral designs, and made into the neatest of little vests to be worn with the pony coat, the cutaway and the Kton. It la well worth the while of the woman who alms to dress becomingly to look into the matter of her spring vests. The Jatots, fichus and other adjuncts that have come to play such a conspicuous part in our fashions, have to a certain extent lessened the Importance of the lingerie waist, but still there are many beautiful designs shown for the spring. Extremes In point of material seem to be favored. The lingerie wtlfts are of the finest, sheer est possible stuffs, more exquisitely em broidered and lace-belrlmmed than ever, while the shirtwaist has grown more severe has returned almost to its original con ception.

Angus John son has Just died at Avalon, Texas, in the luoth year of his age. He was probably the oldest minister in tbe country in active service. The Santa Veracrui church, one of the oldest and most artistic Catholic temples of Mexico, Is threatening to collapse as a consequence of the damage caused by the formidable earthquake of April 14. The church was erected between the years 1610 and 1523, nearly 40 years ago, but its con struction Is superb. The appointment of Rev. William T. Russell, of Baltimore, as rector of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic church, at Wash ington, to succeed the late Rev. D. J. Stafford, D. D., has just been announced by Cardinal Gibbons. Rev. Dr. Russell has been the Cardinal's secretary for the last four years. In Baltimore. The death of tha Rev. Edward S. Hume, In New York this month, closed the career of a man who was born on the mission field of India, who had spent thirty-two years of his life for the cause of Chris tianity In the district of Bombay, and of whose family there are still twenty-eight missionaries at work In India.

A compilation of the foreign missionary statistics for the world, made by the Rev. Dr. D. L. Leonard, shows that the total contributions of the missionary societies of the world to foreign missions amounted lost year to $'J2,459.6SO, an increase over the previous year of almost $1.?00.ty0.
