John "W. Foster, the famous international lawyer, will be the legal ad
viser of the U. S. Alaskan boundary commission, recently appointed by
President Roosevelt The duties of Mr. Foster will be laborious and will
call for the greatest amount of professional skill.
J
toques made of a spikey sort of straw
the whole plaited in a piece of blue
"straw Intermixed with a small amount
of green, trimmed with flat rosettes of
blue and green ribbon. A new combina
tion, which the milliners are setting
-against these blue and green mixtures,
la of an even more garish description,
and I question whether it will meet with
anything like general approval. In this
we have reddish violet almost plum
color combined either with Bordeaux
'or caraubicr red. Two models exhibit
ing each of these combinations are as
follows: The first is a plateau of spikey
violet straw, blocked so as to form a
low, pointed dome and with the brim
capriciously woven, the only trimming
of which is a thick garland of globular
rosea rmnning from light to dark
Bordeaux red, fastened to the front of
the crown and coming down to the edge
of the brim on the left where this is
pressed down over the ear. The other is ,
a moderate-sized capellne, rolled up in
front, made of white chip braids of the
same violet tinge; it is trimmed under
neath with -two blossoms of the cactus
species, with petals of caraubler red.
Silk Fabrics for Trimming the Newest
Hats. As will have been gathered from
what has gone before, silk fabrics are
more used in trimming by milliners than
they were at the beginning of the season.
The new makes of soft undressed silks
are admirably adapted to the purpose
as they drape so well and may other
wise be arranged in any fanciful man
ner that It is considered advisable to
-dopt. Ribbons, to make a more fre
quent appearance than they did at the
beginning of the season. Not a few of
the straw hats are trimmed only with
ribbon. A broad-brimmed hat in rice
straw dyed a pale pastel pink, has a
large rosette made of wide rose-pink
taffeta ribbon on the top of the low
crown. The ribbon is then caught over
the brim, turning it up high. on the left
side, where the hat rests on a coronet of
white Chinese primroses, slightly fringed
with pink. Shaded striped ribbons com
pose pretty trimmings for morning hats,
and among the new makes of taffeta
mousseUne ribbons are some striped
with alternate bands of pale pink and
Wue on flowered white grounds that are
'very suitable for arranging in bows for
placing against the upturned sides of
hats. Such a bow, consisting of two
long loops and an end trims the under
side of a hat in pale blue cabochon
straw, the brim of which Is faced with
pastel-pink. Outside, the trimming con
sists of a scarf of creamy chantniy lace
fastened by a small bunch of pink crush
As win be seen, there is no lack of
variety in the new models prepared for
the Parisian market.
A small mite was with her parents at
luncheon, her hands demurely unrler the
table. Suddenly she said, "Mother, you
and father can't guess what I have
under the table."
Then, after the manner of parents
who like to please this children, they
guessed all kinds of things, but without
success, so they said, "We give up; tell
us." Then the mite, drawing her face
up in a grimace, said, "A stomachache."
Little Tommy Can I eat another piece
of pie?
Mamma (witheringly) I suppose you
can.
.Tommy Well,- may-I?
Mamma No, dear, you may not.
Tommy Darn grammar, anyway!
