For Eary Spring B'jjSa BW THE two small hats shown here are designed on novel frames, made of shirring wire. The frames are covered with mull first and then with a light silk fibre braid in a fancy weave. The braid Is sewed to the shapes, beginning at the top of the crown, in the simplest manner. As the crowns and brims are separate, they are covered separately, the crowns set on and sewed to place after botlf are covered with braid. In Fig, i the braid is sewed row after row with silk thread matching * In color. It is sewed to both upper and under brim following the lines of the wire frame. -This is one of the few shapes which can be successfully covered by the home milliner. As a rule, hats are difficult this spring and ■require the knowledge of the profes sional milliner to make them success fully. As the braid is very light in weight, a heavier braid requiree that the facing be of another material, such as chiffon or light weight silk or trlbbon, which should, to get the best «ttect, be shirred on. fisp 2 shows strips of ribbon and 'braid alternated about the brim. The WIDE CHOICE OF MATERIAL jMany Charming Textures In Which This Costume for Spring Would Be Effective. 1 There are many charming materials <among these prepared for spring dresses that would make up success fully in this style. The skirt is slightly full at the waist land is trimmed effectively at the low er part by silk strapping and scallops formed of silk, which gives the effect 'hr MB \ \ wIBI f | o f an added and wrapped over lower 'part; a silk-covered button is sewn in jJeach scallop. SuTfae bolero Is cut like a Magyar , /blousq, and is trimmed to match the •skirt. The • underslip is of crepe-de.- chine,'tucifed for the under-sleeves. Hat of fine straw trimmed with a ' handsome ostrich feather. Materials required for the dress: 5 yards 46 Inches wide, 2 yards silk 22 Inches wide. Feature of the New Girdles. An attractive feature about the new girdles is the arrangement of the ho.ws. They are placed at the left or right side front or back, directly vn dtr the arm, or, indeed, in any place except the exact center, back or Xtnnt, where one might expect them f? be. The Overdressed Woman. By the way. Parisians are now de claring that the conservative wo/nan 'is the only really well-dressed wom an - that those who rush to the front ■with the latest eccentricity of hat, or coat, or skirt, in order to attract at tention, are not only not smart in its fashionable acceptation, but over and objectionably smart. They have in vented a term, a contemptuous one, too, by which to express their disap proval. Unfortunately, the term it self is objectionable to English ears, and loses its point entirely in trans lation.— Harper’s Bazar. Remodeling Children’s Clothes. When children’s waists become too small or short or too small in the armhole, rip the shoulder seam and set In ejgstic webbing. . This will not only make the waist comfortable again, but will give added length to the petticoat. Stitching. When sewing on the sewing ma chine if the thread breaks easily, soak 1 spool and all m water for about two I minutes. ribbon Is a light weight, satin surface. In the same color as the braid. Short lengths are shirred over the upper and under brim, alternating with strips of the braid sewed row on row together. A length of ribbon, and a length of braid consisting of three rows sewed together in a strip a yard long is used as a drape about the hat.A big rosette made of loops of ribbon at the side, toward the back, finishes a smart and practical hat for general wear. In Fig. 1 a band of velvet ribbon or of crushed silk is draped in a sash over the place where the crown sets on the brim. This shape admits of quite a variety of finishes. For youth ful wearers the single long jaunty quill has a lot of dash and go. It is the best solution for the simplest and smartest effects, but not appropriate for any one except young wearers. A tuft of upstanding plumes or fancy feathers for older women, or loops of lace or ribbon, or any of the mountains of flowers which form a complete trimming ready to adjust, will help out the home milliner In making her Easter headwear. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. NEW STYLES 1N LINGERIE Underwear Takes on More Attrac tions Than Usual In Offerings for This Season. In the struggle for life this season, for at some time the lingerie has been reduced to a minimum, underwear has taken on more attractions than usual The well-fitted models, the exquisite embroidery and the fine materials qf which lingerie is now made are con- j vfncing to the woman who is search ing for bargains. For brides especially has the new lingerie decided attractions. The fineU muslins without stiffening are as 6 varied as the morning hours are from ’ the evening. They should be kept so, ■ too, which point is worth remember ing. They are most durable when I lace is absent. In other words, if yov / are planning a sensible outfit to las more than one year, use Even the finest swlsa and batiste eh l s brj* l ery outlasts lace, i., can be u?J e£ not Aifi “ tte "spring and sun»mer. The straight’ skirt is slightly fuller, but does not flare. Its straight lines must not be interfered with by any underflounce. Corset covers of allover embroidery or wide flouncing are very sensible for the dressy kind. They should be cut with little fullness at the waist, for the same reason tjiat bulk has been eliminated from the petticoat The fitted corset cov§r with the circu lar peplum is the most satisfactory. NightgeW'ns made on empire lines are probably moving toward first place. The short upper portion is gathered into a straight band of em broidery or beading. Flowing or puffed sleeves are quite short. As usual, the handmade lingerie has a value not to be gainsaid. The French importations will always be favored by the woman with money to indulge her longings. The extremely plain, lingerie with tape drawing strings and a plain scal loped edge is the kind that should ap peal to practical minds. They com bine daintiness -with excellent weal ing qualities, and they are inexpen sive. “Demand a good-fitting model and a high quality of material, and your lingerie will always be in good style. The Spring Blouses. With the influx of new waists of sheer cotton material, the veiled blouse has not been forgotten. These, in simple lines, are made to have a new air and a suggestion of -warmer days by a relieving touch of embroi dered batiste or linen used in place of laces. A yoke and cuffs, w ’th an Insertion in tb.e front and back, give a springlike air, The lovely new bordqred chiffon, mar quisettes and crepes are also pressed into blouse service With excellent re sults. A Novel Relish. Guests pt an Informal luncheon were at first puzzled by a dainty-look ing relish brought on with the meat.

Quanah Parker a Famous and Picturesque Chief. Noted Comanche Credited With Hav ing Killed Many White Men Has Lately Lived Like a Lord In Oklahoma. Lawton, Ok. —One of the W’ealthlest and most picturesque American In-i dians passed away recently here, in' the death of Quanah Parker, the fam ous chief of the Comanche tribe. He was credited with having killed hun dreds of white men in his early days.i but for years he had lived a civilized life. Chief Quanah lived like a lord in a $6,000 mansion, and was the proprie tor of a great cattle ranch, besides 300 acres of farming land under excellent; cultivation. Some estimates placed his wealth at $1,000,000. He had seven wives and innumera ble children. Three of his sons stud ied at the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., some years ago. The chief was a friend and admirer of Col. Roosevelt, with whom he had hunted, and was accustomed to tel! with pride how when it was proposed' to sell certain Comanche lands for $1.50 an acre, his protest to the col-[ onel, who was then president, brought.' a prompt promise that the price should not be under $5 an acre. Parker had completely mastered an: appetite for strong drink and he de-: spised gambling, a vice to which- great numbers of his people were addicted.! The chief was the son of a whitol woman, Cynthia Ann Parker, daugh ter of Gen. Isaac Parker, a distin guished Texas politician, who ovtr 60 1 years ago lived in Parker county, that; state. She was captured when 4 yearsi old by a marauding band of Co-' manches, which attacked the family; home. The child grew up as an In dian, learning their language, and fin ally marrying Chief Quanah, one ofj the warriors of the tribe. When little Quanah was a small boy, his mother was retaken by her friends; and restored to her old home in Texas.: But the new* surroundings were in no; way suited to the wild spirit she had! WEfJi; x--..—. JLbibed, and she besought her friends to permit her to return to her tribe. I This they refused to do, and she died* of a broken heart. Quanah, then a: youth, went back to his people and! fought the whites until 1874, when he{ surrendered to Gen. Mackenzie at> Fort Sue, Ok. Alter that Quanah became as good; a citizen as he had been a soldier.: The town of Quanah, Tex., was named' for him, and he gave considerable sums of money to the public institu-j tions of the town. He -accumulated! property rapidly and he knew how to take care of it when he got it. But he| was generous, and had a host ofi friends among the whites, while among; the Comanches he was looked up to as a sort of demi-god. AMUSING STORY OF RED TAPE Although Vouched for by Leading Ber lin Paper, It Is Hard to Believe. Berlin.—The following story of red tape, which is vouched for bj* a Ber lin publication, is hard to beat even in the very cradle of Prussian official-j dom. Not long ago the head mistress; of a high’school for girls notified the authorities that there was a rat on the premises and asked that a matt; might be sent to kill it. The request; was duly noted, but as the' official rat catcher was not immediately available the head mistress was advised to feed the beast in the meantime so that the rat catcher should not make a fruit less journey. This she did for some weeks, and as the rat killer did noti put in an appearance she made a sec-' ond application. The original request,' she was informed, had been mislaid, but help would be sent in a few days. Weeks passed and one day the rat was found dead and was burled In the, garden in the presence of the head mistress. A day or so later an offi cial carrying a bundle of documents “in the matter of the rat” brought a message to the effect that the head mistress should take steps to destroy the rat at her own expense, as the official rat catcher could not come be fore a certain future time. Upon be ing informed that the rat was dead and buried the official retired, but came back the next day asking for a ■written certificate to show that the rat was really dead. He feot it, and the administrative machine is once more working smoothly. Imbecile Leaves a Million.
