MODISH HATS DISTINCTLY ORIG-
INAL IN STYLE.
One of the “Picture” Variety Emi-
nently Suitable for a Young Girl—
"Tailored" Type for Wear
With the Street Suit.
The sketch illustrates two , modish
hats of widely different types. The
upper belongs 'in the “picture” hat
class, and it is for a young girl. The
hat proper is of black velvet. The
irather drooping brim is underfaced
;with ciel blue faille silk, and ribbon
ithe same shade bands the soft crown.
Continuing at one side it forms a
flow loosely, or it may be caught up
underneath the chin and secured to
The hat at the opposite side. A pink-
rose with foliage decks the upper
brim on either side of the hat.
The lower hat has upper crown and
visored brim of black velvet, with
full outer crown of taupe-colored felt
runs with ribbon in the same shade
and ornamented in front with a metal
buckle or slide.
This hat ‘is of the “tailored” type
and is suitable for wear with a street
suit or coat.
The vogue for tarns and other soft-
crowned hats continues very strong.
;The Henry Vni style with its plume
doming out from beneath the soft
yrown is a popular model. The fancy

ation of hats shows no sign of abat-
ing. Ermine, skunk, moleskin and
Hudson seal are being cut up for mil-
linery purposes.
Hats with helmet or visored brims
emphasize the leaning to things mili-
tary in the development of millinery,
and chin bands of fur, velvet or gros-
graln or faille ribbon are modish.
These appear on many of the motor
hat models.
While variety in shape is practically
unlimited, it may be noted that the
very tiny hats are growing fewer.
Medium-sized and large hats are de-
cidedly approved by Dame Fashion
this year.
Rembrandt, shepherdess and Gains-
borough hats are seen in great num-
bers.
The vogue for purple millinery has
waned, and navy, burgundy, taupe,
Russian green, brow-n may be said to
be the leading colors, with bright
trimming touches relieving any possi-
ble somberness.
USEFUL STAND FOR WATCH
Adapted for Writing Table or at the
Bedside—Keeps the Timepiece
Free From Dust.
A very useful watch st*md this for a
writing table or by the bedside; it may
be used for keeping the watch covered
and away from dust, or as a stand as
shown.
It is made from any box about three
inches square; It must be one that has
the lid separate from lower part, over
which it fits when closed. Cover the
outside with a pretty piece of silk or
small-patterned chintz. The silk for
the lower part must be cut in a strip a
little deeper than the box, so as to
. turn over each edge, and long enough
, to fit all four sides; that for the lid
must be cut square and a little larger
:than top of lid.
JTirst cover the Ud smoothly, fixing
the turned-over edges with some ad-
hesive; they can be notched here and
there to make them lie flat; the strip
for covering the sides should be laid
.over a strip, of paper the depth of lid,
the upper edge turned in and fixed, the
other left free to turn over edge of lid
after this piece is fixed neatly round’
the sides of lid.
Next line the lid, commencing with
the sides; cover the lower part of box,
but only line the sides, and inside put
a soft silk-covered cushion of wadding
Watch Stand.
for the watch to rest on; it should fit
the box, being tucked down tightly at
the sides.
When the watch is not in use the lid
would be put on in the usual way, but
w-hen the watch is wanted to be visible,
place the lid on the table and the box
tilted up inside it as shown in the
sketch.
SHOW ORIGINALITY IN STYLE
Season's Pattern Effects Certainly
Novel, Whatever Else May Be
Thought of Them.
Upon going the round of the shops
there is one thing noticeable about the
winter models in clothes and their ac-
cessories, and that is the new effects in
patterns. Sometimes they are startling,
sometimes merely different, but always
they are Dovel. When, for example,
one sees av. evening gown, designed
probably for the most elaborate affair
of the fall season, blossoming forth in
all kinds of fantastic Chinese embroid-
ery, one wonders if the impressionists
are, after all, the most extreme of mod-
ern schools of art. And when one sees
tiny quadrupeds and miniature trees
on the n.ew veils the effect is arresting,
to say the least. Some of the latter, in-
stead of going so far as the above-
mentioned animals, content themselves
with a bee or a spider, which crawls
nonchalantly across the wTearer’s face,
and others affect extreme simplicity
until their endurance gives out, where-
upon the border of the veil becomes a
revelry of figures, patterns and designs.
And so, from all appearances, whatever
the coming season may hold in the way
of beauty, in the matter of originality
it certainly is not backward.
New Dress Belts.
A very new fashion feature are en-
circling dress belts. They are of the
gown’s color and have in the center
front an applied oblong ornament of a
bright contx-asting color. This space is
often covered by an odd scroll design
done in beads, floss or metal threads,
and adorned with buttons and passe-
xnenterie touches.
Slippers at a Fashion Show.
Very fascinating were the slippers
made of moire silk in light blue and
pale pink and'-pastel green with nar-
rtow bindings of self-colored grosgraiD
ribbon.
CANARY-COLORED CAPE COAT
An up-to-the-minute cape coat of yel-
low broadcloth trimmed with collar
and cuffs of fur. It is not necessary,
fashion experts say, to carry a cane
in order to wear thi3 coat, but It
adds to the attractiveness. The
drawn up effect on the sides is the
latest wrinkle in coat designs.
<SCEME, IN CO NATAN Z/v_
ECAUSE Constanza, Roxxman-
I—^ ia’s chief seaport, wras the log-
I ^ ical place for the landing of
Russian troops, and supplies
bound for the Hungarian and Bulgax’-
ian frontiers, it has been smitten by
the iron fist of war, and since its swift
capture by the Teixtons has endixx’ed
the hard fate of being repeatedly bom-
bax-ded by its friends.
Before the war this tlxx’iving little
city of 27,000 inhabitants handled
practically all the surplus wheat raised
by the Roumanian peasants which did
not find its way up the Danube to the
great flour mills of Budapest, says a
bulletin of the National Geographic
society.
Until hostilities began in 1914, Con-
stanza was also the transfer point for
the extensive passenger service fx-om
London, Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Vien-
na and Budapest to Constantinople
■and the near East. Here express
steamers connected with the de luxe
tx-ains from the west, making the run
to the Sublime Porte overnight.
Millions of dollax’s have been spent
on the hax-bor and docks of Constapza
since the town became a Roumanian
possession by the treaty of Berlin,
which transferred the Dobrudja prov-
ince to this country. The principal
improvements were begun in 1896.
On Site of Ancient City.
Constanza, or Kxxstendje, with its
wide, clean streets, its numerous
mosques, synagogues and church, oc-
cupies the site of the ancient Tomi,
Tonxis or Tomes, the metropolis of the
Euxine. The remains of many col-
umns and fragments of statuary testify (
to the importance and the wealth of
the city in those days. In the fourth
century Constantine the Great changed
the name of the pox’t to Constantiana^
In honor of his sister. During the
reign of Theodosius it experienced an
era of great prosperity as the metropo-
lis of Pontus, but after it pqssed under
the control of the Bulgars and later
of the Turks its decline was rapid.
In the Russo-Turkislx war of 1812 it
was bombarded by the Russians, and
17 years later surrendered to the same
power without a blow in its defense.
Probably the most noteworthy event
in the history of ancient Tomi was its
designation by the Emperor Augustus
as the place of exile of the great Latin
poet, Publius Ovidius Naso, familiarly
known as Ovid. The poet’s offense
was the publication of “Ars Amatoria,”
which enjoys the questionable distinc-
tion, according to no less an authority
than the Oxford scholar, George ShK
ney Owen, of being perhaps the otfxst
immoral work ever man
of genius. Augustus had become pe-
culiai-ly sensitive about such literature'
because he had been forced to banish
and disinherit liis own daughter, the
brilliant and beautiful Julia, on ac-
count of her scandalous intx’igue with
the son of Mark Antony. This dis-
grace was followed by a second scan-
dal in the imperial family—the notori-
ous behavior of the younger Julia, the
emperor’s granddaughter. As Socra-
tes was charged with having corrupted
the youth of Athens, so Ovid was
deemed by Augustus as at least in part
responsible for the corruption of youth-
ful society in Rome. Therefore he was
ordered to leave the capital and take
up his residence at Tomi, where he
remained for the last eight yeax\s of
his life, bittex-ly complaining of his
fate in a series of letters, compiled as
the five books of the “Tristia.”
Turnu Severin a Busy Town.
Turnu Severin was the first town in
Rouraania to receive a baptism of
| iron after hostilities were declared
betweerx that country and Austria-Hun-
jgaria. It is an 11-mile voyage down
'the Danube fx-om the internatioixal
Iboundax’y line at Verciorova to a point
(opposite Turnxx Severin. This busy
Roumanian town of 8,000 inhabitants,
pleasantly situated on high ground and
partly hidden from the river by trees,
has important shipyards and repair
shops for the Danube Steamship Navi-
gation company, and is a center for
trade in petroleum, cex-eals and px*e-
served meats. It is supposed to derive
its name from the ruins of an old
tower in the vicinity which is said to
have been built in commemoration of
one of the victories of the Roman em-
peror, Severus.
It was at Turnu Severin that King
Charles I, who died only a'few -weeks
after the oixtbreak of the European
war in 1914, first landed on Roumanian
soil in May 1866, and was hailed by the_
populace as the successor to their first
prince, Colonel Cuza, who, as Alexaxx-
dru John I, had been forced to abdicate
a short time previously. Chax-les was
the second son of Px-ince Charles An-
tony of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, and
at the tinxe his name was sxxbmitted to
the people of Roumania (he was chosen
by a vote of 685,969 to 224) was an
officer in the Prussian army. As the
king of Prussia was pledged to support
a native noble for the Roumanian prin-
cipality, Charles could not be espoused
openly, but upon the advice of Bis-
marck he resigned his commission in
the Prussian army and, under an as-
sxxmed name and with a forged pass-
port, made his way down the Danube
into the country over which he was to
rule ixxost successfully, first as prince
and later as king, for inox-e than half a
centux-y.
A short distance below Tixrxiu
Severiix is the little village of Kladova,
which in Roman times was known as
Egota, the station from which, Trajan’^
two roads, of conquest diverged, one up
the banks.of the Danube and the other
striking, rxprlh into Dacia. It was the
latter x*oad which necessitated the con-
struction of the famous Trajan bridge
acx’oss the Danube at this point, the
lax’gest in the Homan empire. How
well the gx-eat Damascus architect,
Apollodorus, designed this structure is
indicated by the fact that after inox*e
than 1,800 years portions of some of
its 20 stone piles desci'ibed by the his-
torian Gibbon ax-e still to be seen, and
perhaps it woixld have done service
for centuries had it not been destroyed
to prevent the invasion of the terri-
tory south of the river by the Goths.
The remains of this famous work were
not discovered until 18S4, the honor of
the find being credited to Michael Jo-
seph Quin, who made a systematic
search for the piers while accompany-
ing the Hungarian road-builder, Count
Szechenyi, on one of his journeys down
'the Danube. The stones which are
now disclosed at low water are the
ruins of piers 145 feet high, 58 feet
broad and 163 feet apart. When the
Roman sappers overthrew them to
check the march of the barbarian en-
emy the masonry dammed the waters.
Peculiarities of Sight.
If the eye, is fastened steadily upon
a white surface in the sunlight imme-
diately after staring xipon some bril-
liant-colored objects, it will behold the
images of those objects clearly at first,
then with increasing dimness, fading
gradually through a series of colors,
blue, green, indigo, violet, pink, daxdt
orange, and so on. If the eye has
stared lengthily upon a red surface,
and then suddenly is shifted to green,
the intensity of the latter will be great-
ly enhanced for the first few xnoxnents.
Correct Thought First.
Social reform is not to be secured by
noise and shouting, by complaints and
denunciation, by the formation of par-
ties or the making of revolutions, but
by the awakening of thought and the
progress of ideas. Until there be cox*-
rect thought, there cannot be right
action; and when there, is coi’rect
thought, right action will follow. Pow-
er is in the hands of the masses of
men. What oppresses the masses is
their own dgnorance, their own short-
sighted selfishness.—Henry Geox’ge.
VALUES OF CHEESE
WIDE RANGE IN FOOD PROPER-
TIES TO BE NOTED. *
Presence of Cream Is Main Factor in
Deciding the Degree of Nutriment
Contained—As Prepared by
Wise Chef.
Cheeses range in food value from ai
little over 400 to 2,585 calories. This;
latter food value is that of the cream?
cheeses, but the ordinary cream cheese
has dfdy 910 calox’ies per pound.
This wide difference is due to the
■fact that a great deal of water may bej
dried out of a cheese, and also a great*
deal more cream be present in some^
cheese than others. There is practi-j
cally no cream in cottage cheese, and.1
the water content may be extremely'
high, as-much as 77 per cent.
For this latter reason a cottage-
cheese with butter and cream apd nut#
has only the food value of a moderate-
ly rich ci'eam cheese, but because a
larger quantity of it is eaten as a por-
tion there may be some danger of get-
ting too much food for the body to care
for, although the digestion itself is not
sro overworked.
Fox’mexdy flavor was put into cheese
by different types of curing. Today
the px-actice is to put all sorts of flavors
in just -before the cheese is served.
When this leads to overeating it is bad
practice. But notice what the chef-
does. When that final course of coffee
and cheese comes to you, pex*haps you
will have served you something the size
of a silver dollar, made like the old-
fashioned small tart. In a thin little
disk of cottage cheese he has made a
little outer wall by putting the cheese
through a pastry syringe, or “spritzer,’1
and in the center is about half a tea-
spoonful of currant jelly.
Recently I chose fx*om a public menu
what proved to be a pax-ticulai’ly pala-
table and filling conclusion to a light
luncheon. Cottage cheese had been
worked smooth with a little cream or
rich milk, and to this had been added
pecans chopped so fine as to be unrec-
ognizable to the eye, and thoroughly
mixed.—Exchange.
HELPFUL HINTS
Raisins and such things sometimes
get dry and hard and lose a good
part of their goodness. They would
not do this if kept in glass jars.
Do not leave a spoon in anything
you are cooking; it conducts away
some of the heat and besides, is not
good for the spoon.
If you cannot go to sleep at night,
try holding a hot-water bottle to your
stomach. It draws the blood to it
and away from the brain.
Do not have hats and coats hung in
the kitchen. They give out odors
and impurities, as well as absorb
"odors from the cooking.
Wlxen the lower ends of your win-
dow shades get soiled and cracked,
take them off the rollers, tyrn them
the other end up and tack them oa
nicely, and they will last for a long
time.
Two potatoes grated in a basin of
warm water give better results than,
soap in washing delicate flannel or
woolen goods, ribbons, etc.
Man-o keys can be cleaned, as can
any old ivory, by being rubbed with
muslin dipped in alcohol. If very yel-
low, use a piece of flannel moistened:
with cologne water.
Tea Baskets.
Make a short sweetened pie crust,
roll thin and partly bake in sheets.
Before it is quite done take from fh®
oven, cut in squares of four inches or
so, take up two diagonal cornel's and
pinch together, which makes them
basket-shaped. Now fill them with
whipped cream well sweetened and
flavored and return to the oven for a
few minutes.
For Wicker Furniture.
For cleaning wicker furniture make
ready a pailful of warm soapsuds to
which has been added about three ta-.
blespoonfuls of liquid ammonia. Scrub
well with a stiff brush, rinse with a
cloth dipped in clear warm water and
place out in the open air to di*y.
To Prevent Eggs Bursting.
To prevent eggs bursting while boil-
ing, prick one end with a needle be-
fore placing in the water. This makes
an outlet for the aix\ and keeps the
shell frorix cracking.
Coffee Custard.
Two cupfuls milk, two tablespoon-
fuls ground coffee, three eggs, one-
quarter cupful sugar, one-eighth tea-
spoonful suit, one-quarter teaspoonful
vanlla. Scald milk with coffee and
strain. Beat eggs slightly; add sugar,
salt, vanila and milk. Strain into in-
dividual molds, set in pan of hot water
and bake until firm.
Place pieces of flannel or of blotting
paper between fine china plates. This
will prevent them from bei- '
scratched.
