First, however. I want to tell you about that ludicrous country sheriff who lived In central New York. It all happened not long after they paeeed a law somewhere to the effect that milliners telling hata with ospreya should he brought before the court. Well, the eherlff. who had Just had a flne dinner of broiled chicken (or maybe roasted robins, for they are considered tootheotne bits b) those country bred). took bta coat down (being well nourished and ready for action) fpuin the hook and set fmth to arrest (he village milliner the Oral tradeswoman to • uffet from the uew made law lie ,- u tered her ahop, ha bulllod oer Into a faint, he wrought havoc with all her beat |i uu crearioue.

In New York, the latest rebuke to women In regard to their cruelty and vanity la the glass case In the Museum of Natural History con taining a family of blrda of caught on the lalaud of New Gulnue (Doesn't fhla sound, ss I said, like a graduation eeeay T Cholly says if | continue nr die aertatlon on the faahlous 111 soon be able to take a part In the stump IWfe not the etump, the suffrage move ment). Mrs Frank K Atwrgls, of New York and twnoa. had the case put there for a noble purpose.

One ran use the streamers In all sorts of ago-disguising ways. They can he brought around the throat and conceal tbHt telltale place be low the ear where the age Is quickly re vealed, not merely to physicians, but to all men keen of eye. For Instance, a silk covered hat (see picture D) has lustrous streamers of Mack liberty satin. These can be wound around the arm and pinned to the shoulder with a Jewel. Sometimes on a large hat tho streamers come through silts In the brim half-way between the coiffure and edge of the hat.

For the scoop bon net* all soits of gorgeous flowers are used —dahlias, petunias, fuchlas, deep red be gonias and pink bleeding heart. The thea tre hoods may be made according to a woman’s whims. They are often like that of Little Red Riding Hood, but are sup posed to be copies of those worn during the French Revolution. Some are like great coal scuttle bonnets covered smoothly with silk and the horseshoe circle around the face Is edged with lace and a flower wreath. The streamers tied In front loosely, without a bow, arc really long scarfs of chiffon edged w’ith lace or frill ing. They are intended primarily to wear on the way to and from a dance, a dinner or the oera or theatre. After the play or the opera, when women wait for carriage* and are gossiping to gether in the theatre lobby or under the awning, the hat-to-hat talks will result in funny scenes. The bonnets will in reality make well-walled tunnels or funnels under cover of which awful ncaudal—ubrut the hostess, who has Just given the uinner. or the actress who has Just bad the star part In the play—may be freely discussed.

Gould’s doctor, always has bon nets copied from old paintings and tied under her chin with ribbons or In a big pussy bow of mnline nt the left of her face. Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt is Just waking up to the fact that variety gives fascination to millinery as well as to all other things In life. For a long time she was ao stub born and foolish. For three or four sea sons she had air her hats (at least a hun dred a yenr) of the same shape—mediui.i crowns and wide straight brims. *‘l know they are out of style," she would say, “but I like them,” and the decision was Anal. Mrs. Henry Codman Potter Is In mourn ing now, of course, but for many years she was the only woman In New York whose chapeaux would bring forth the re mark. "Why, that's a bonnet like what mother used to wear.” It was a l»ona fide, unmodified and unmodernized bonnet with narrow strings. Like Mrs. Vanderbilt, she had many boxes all filled with bonnets, different lu color and mate rial, but all of exactly the same shape. On festive occasions, when the sweet, placid Indy, for Instance, would honor a bride by her presence, the sprig or a little wreath of flowers would be more gay In color. Of course there is also Hetty Green'a bon net, but her headgear Is bulgy and puffy, and more like a toque with strings. Then there is Mrs. O. H. Harriman, who eternally wears a bnt tilted over her fore head. These whims of women in aoclety are all hit off so drolly In a little time-yel lowed book about hats written before the Revolutionary war. It belonged to Cholly's great-grandfather. It applies to people of to-day, for styles may change, but not tbe ways of human beings. Thla old writer raid: "We can distinguish, by the taste of »he hat the mode of the wearers mind. With Quakers It is a point of their faith not to wear a button wherewith a brim may be looped up tight in front.
