lOT for many a season ns ine
milliner turned out anything J
quite so natty and fetching In
the way of tailored and suit hats as
those now heiner offered for wear with
the new Ppi-lns walking and street
suits. For all occasions other than
formal and elaborate affairs, the tail
ored hat will take rrecedence. say the
leading milliners, over every other va
rleiy of hat.
Kven the old reliable sailor, which
for so many seasons, In one form or
another, has so surely cropped up and
claimed the hlpser share of popularity,
Till be releirated. It Is said, for the
tailored and suit hats of rough straw
and natty, tailored trimming.
Already the "Merry Widow" sailor,
which was announced as the official
sailor of the coming season, with Us
exaggerated width of brim and Its
low crown. Is beinpr classed In with
the passing fads, and by the time the
early investors In the "Merry Widow"
style begin to note the first signs of
wear and tear. It is claimed, this type
of sailor will be well on the wane.
The new suit hats come In a thou
sand different varieties and materials,
and each with an Individual distinc
tion of its own. but, as nearly as one
may generalize, they will be Inclined
TOYS ARE A $25,000 RISK
W. K. Yanderbllt Insures Sou's
IMaj tilings tor Fortune.
LONDON, April 9. A' small boy whoso
toys are Insured for 5,000 Is visiting Eng
land this season.
This lucky vounester is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbllt, and he may
be termed the richest boy in the world,
lie is heir to something like 1100.000,000.
Many of Master Vanderbllt's toys have
been specially made for him. His clock
work trains and rocking horses are not of
the ordinary type. They are richly en
frraved and finished without any regard
to expense.
With true American cuteness. Master
Vanderbllt's parents have insured their
son's toys. In case they should set lost
or broken while in Knsland.
It Is also hinted that In the event of
Master Vanderbllt breaking his toys, their
full cost would be covered.
Besides a large staff of personal
servants, the boy millionaire will travel
with his own medical attendant. Report
also says that his luggage Includes an
Ivory bath with gold mountings, and
toilet accessories embossed with diamonds.
"Insuring toys Is certainly a rare pro
cedure," said an Insurance agent.
"But it is only one child In 10.000 who
possesses toys worth Insuring. The
average child Is just as contented with a
sixpenny toy aa one costing a sovereign."
WOMAN CLEVER SWINDLER
I'layg shrewd Bunco Game on Many
French Deputies.
PARIS, April 11. (Special.) Klfly
members of the Chamber of Deputies
have been swindled by a clever woman,
w ho called on eac h with a sad story of
her having brought a child to Paris for
an operation and of her having nothing
left for their return Journey after the
fee and other expenses had been set
tled. "I am the wife of your chief
elector." she said, and she gave such
minute particulars that in each case
the unlucky Deputy was completely
taken in and advanced sums varying
from $10 to $40.
l'our other females are playing sim!
lar tricks on legislators, as well as ;
couple-of smart youths who pass them
selves off as the nephews of a very
distinguished general and relate that
they were relieved of their money in
the train on their way to the gay city.
These people are believed to be mem
AUTO BURGLAR CAUGHT
French Cracksman's Bold Career
Conies to an End.
PARIS, April 11. (Special., The
Marseilles police have arrested a man
named Maurice Roussel, who is known
far and wide in France as "the motor
car burglar." Roussel, who was leav
ing Marseilles for Buenos Ayres, is only
32 years old, but has during the last
two years committed at least 70 and
probably many more daring burglaries.
He had a magnificent so-horsepower
motor car, and his favorite victims
were solicitors, country bankers and
other people likely to have considerable
sums of money in their offices. He
called in his motor car on these gen
tlemen in the day time On some small
matter in which he pretended to need
their help, took notes of the disposition
of their offices, and in the course of
the night removed what valuables he
could find and disappeared.
The police have known of him for a
long time. On the night of February 20
he committed seven successful bur
glaries in and near Chateau Thierry,
getting away with over 115.000, and
two days later he got $3000 out of one
office and robbed five others of lesser
amounts.

chief adornment of which Is a huge
feather pompon in variation of the
hussar, or grenadier cockade. The
feathers are in the same tone of wlne
red as the straw, and a broad band
of velvet encircles the ;rowi. In the
flaring, upward roll of the brim of t!;l3
fetching little hat there is a sugges
tion of the dashing "Cheytmne" style
so nopular in the Fall hats:.
Anotner style of rolling brim Is
shown In No. 3, the brim being si
woven as to roll upward and over all
the way round, and the crown bolng a
nifty little affair similar In shape to
that of the crownpiecc worn by tne
freckle-faced street urchin. A very
full triple-ruffle effect of plaited vel
vet, massed at the Iront anl topped
by a tall cockade, adds further to tho
saucy c-ffect of this smart little hat.
A type of the "Merry Widow" sailor,
which is still being shown in the
shops and which will undoubtedly still
enjoy a share of popular favor for
some time to come, is shown In No. 4.
The hat is of black nt.-p.w, with a
flaring front trimming of white feath-
ers and a dainty fluff of btu-5 spangled
net mesh at the front.
In No. 5 is sjiown a type of smooth
straw hat in the serviceable brown
tone; with black feather and massed
pompons of black. This Is one of the
severer styles Bulted to the older
woman.
One of the many varieties of rough
straw hats is shown in No. 6, which
is in a grayish tone, combined with
soft blues. The brim is lined with
a soft novelty material, which appears
again In a tailored crown band. Two
conical-headed hatpins In the same
shade of blue. piercing the white
down of two smartly set wings that
sweep towards the side, and back,
complete the natty and dressy effect
of this tailored hat. A tendency
towards the shorter brim, with hori
zontal lines or an npward roll, in
stead of the down-drooping "mush
room" effects that have characterized
all headyear for the past year is
noticeable in all the hats and particu
larly in the tailored and suit varie
ties.

URE PORTLAND CUSTOMERS
apt; NOT ASLEEP. From the tre
mendous business last week, should
say they are awake. We offered
harrraiTis. We asked for their trade
and help. We got both. This week we will
make grand bargains for Portland custom
ers. You will not overlook us, for you know
we need the business, and we are not
ashamed to say so, nor afraid to give you
bargains. New goods now coming in every
day.. Guess that kind of puts a kink in that
fellow who was phoning around our town
last week telling houses to look out J. M.
A. Co. was going to stop in two days. That's
a fact; such was done by some one, but he
was ashamed and afraid to give his name.
It was a nice, mean thing to do, wasn't it?
That's what one can't exactly call business
brotherly love. Guess he will feel some
what disappointed at "Our Determination."
No, he won't feel disappointed he knew
better. "The wish was iainer 10 me
thought." He knows Portland customers appreciate good goods, treatment and values, and he jknows i we can give barges. LOOK
AT THEM FOR A START THIS WEEK. TE WANT YOUR HELP TO KEEP THAT GUN FILLED WITH AMMUNITION.
