MODES cf 5he MOMENT ARIS. We are all In a fe ver of excitement oyer the next models, and shopping expeditions oc cupy our thoughts. The two great rival shops, the Prlntemps and the Gallerle Lafayette, which stand side by side, are holding sale at sensational reductions, writes a correspondent. Every wom an goes with her purse stuffed with tiny "patterns," and we spent most of tour spare-lime trying on each other's lhats. What a charm there is in try ing on a hat that belongs to some one jyou know, or to anrone at all! A hat that may make you look pret- itler than you have ever looked be fore ! No wonder that the milliners' tohops are besiezged! What heart burnings, too, when the hat one has bought becomes antiquated after brief month of popularity! ! If our best friend tells us that we lare over-hatted or that 6he "does not Jike hat hat," we feel that friend ehip is a failure and life Is no longer jworth the living! j We are very practical In Paris e leave It to the English and Amer leans to buy as recklessly as their means will allow. For us thrift has ivirtues, and we look before we leap, ljust now we mar select, for Instance, a black satin hat, but when we pause to reflect we discover that If the said hat be lined with velvet It will be in- finitely more practlc l because we can wear It further into .e winter! It Is often better to spend a little more and get what will lr. it a longer time. ' Feathers are of ell millinery trim mings the most economical, but the wily milliners have '"ound fresh temp tations for us on that score. The latest craze Is for everything striped and speckled, and "Panther skin," Which is being mule into sets of etoles and muffs, hr.s extended the fa- ivorite design to feathers and the new est velvet We have gray and black feathers, black and white pea-hen ifeathers, and every possible mixture iof this kind, with a dash of scarlet or a splash of vivid blue thrown in. In a large gray hat, in which a large crown of gray ostrich feathers tipped iwith pink forms the trimming, one (very large star-like bloom of pink vel vet will form a deepening note of rose. Gold Is again being profusely used. A -hat with a large crown of black velvet will have a brim of trans parent gold lace edged with velvet, and a small branch of gold roses with powder-blue or rose-pink centers will form the only ornament I I hope my readers may glean some useful hints from these descriptions. It is easy to renovate the large last winter's hats by lining them with pale flesh-pink or pale blue satin. Feath ers may be dyed or retlnted, but to dye feathers black is often to waste them absolutely, as black dyes burn more than others. A last year's large hat will be trimmed high; to make it .look Parisian It must be trimmed low. A large velvet flower or ornament or a cordon of single blooms round the crown will effect this purpose. For the toques alone we must reserve Alsa tian or windmill bows, high aigrettes, and sucb-llke. Gold flowers and gold passementerie look charming on large hats, oxidized silver on the emaller ones. The delicious summer-Ilk weather we have been enjoying in Paris for the last few days has sent all the fur trimmed hats out of the shop windors. Y' caa admire white velvet rfgantlo edelweiss or lilies, rootless aigrettes mnd white plumes. One of the new Mt ornaments for hata, laxje and if small, is a fringe of chenlle or ot wooden beads round the brim! I saw a hat with a fringe of tubular wooden beads that looked exactly like a min iature Swiss chalet 1 For large and medium sized hats the cachepeigne consists of a very largo bow of rib bon or a clump of flowers. Furs are a serious consideration, and so ruinous as to price that one hardly dares to look at the prices given. They form squares, stripes and lozenges, according to the way in which they are cut and pieced togeth er. I have Just seen some gigantic flat muffs and wide stoles of sealskin that were treated as one might treat velvet or plush. The Idea may be novel it is not pretty! Pure white ermine, called ermine demouchette, Is edged with a band of the same ermine with the tails left in. White stoles are probably of "clipped" rabbit skin, but they look effective edged with bands of chinchilla, skunk or flox. Silk plush Is made up most effec tively to Imitate ermine. It is soft and silky in texture and will make up into the most effective stoles and mantles. It will also be useful to make theater muffs. Fashions die out so rapidly that we resurrect them in a few months. Woman's caprices rule the world of fashion, and we no sooner have something pretty than wo run It to earth! The dresses we affect for evening wear are perforce expensive. We have a satin fourreau, which In its turn is trimmed with lace or embroidery, and over this again we have the tunic and bodice of silk muslin, which will veil the under dress most effec tively, giving schemes of color we would never have thought of a year ago. Every detail is costly, from the rainbow-shot gold rat's tall piping cord with which we outline lace or embroidery on net, to the artistic belts, buckles and buttons which form part and parcel of our gowns. Peltry, now so precious, is used to outline the chemisettes and collars of gold and silver net with which our gowns are stll provided, or a narrow band of fur edges a square-cut bodice. A little fur is far more becoming than a deep band, and the wide hem of skunk' seen on many of our new short cos tumes is certainly very ugly. How ever, we do not care to look pretty proofs of wealth are what we crave for most, forgetful of the fact that wealth may be most inartistic. There is a strong current in favor of short coats, which the dressmakers are try ing hard to bring in. These coats look best in serge or in the new hair striped velveteens. Satin-faced zlbe line la a most bewitchlngly silky fab ric; It is, moreover, very warm, but not so durable as cloth. Black zlbe llne makes up splendidly, and if it is trimmed with heavy corded embroi dery It is really a most elegant dress. Black and black and white are in favor, and some of our most elegant women have decided to adopt the fur coat and frocks for visiting wear. I am Inclined to think the Idea a very sensible one, as in cold weather it is best to slip off a heavy coat in a warm drawing room, and appear In all the glory of a smart gown, such as one I have Just seen. The skirt was of black satin with a knee-deep piece of black muslin velvet; the bodice, hlgh walsted and belted, was of velvet for the lower part and a deep yoke of satin formed Vandyke on the velvet; the neck showed a small yokelet of white and gold lace outlined with a gold cord and tassels, and the sleeves were the kimono ones, also trimmed with gold. A most elegant dress worn by one of our prettiest actresses at the Palais Royal Is a typical smart dinner dress, of gray panne velvet, the waist is very smart and points of Indian cachemir design In soft silk are let into the bod ice. Over this was worn a tunic of gray moussellne de sole, which was very much opened at the sides so that parts of the cachemir design showed the cachemlre silk veiled and unveil ed; the tunic was edged with tiny steel buttons and a narrow edge of black el vet. A large rosette of scar let silk fastened the waistband. The illustration shows the most ef fective method of arranging the new velvet scarf. Just now so much in vogue. Chinese Embroidery, "A wonderful achievement of daz zling beauty!" Sich Is the cry of ad miration of an English writer on de scribing a superb bedspread In rich brocade embroidered in the eighth century by a Chinese princess. The device, she continues, consisted of at least 3,000 pairs of mandarin ducks, sporting amid sprays of rare flowers and foliage, scattered all over the silk ground, on which sparkled a shower of beads made of native precious stones. Had the early Chinese em broiderer less taste. Imagination, skill and Industry than her American sis ters of the twentieth century? For Blunted 8clssora.

GLEANINGS FROM THE OPERA Society Woman Forgot Nam of Play but She Enjoyed Herseif Im mensely In Gossiping. "Well, did you enjoy your evening. my dear?" "Indeed I did. John. I went to the opera." "Oh, what did you hear?" "Rather, what didn't I hear? heard that Ruth Jackson was engaged to Tom Harris, the' one who got drunk at the golf club ball last year. And that Jack Courtney and Edith Pascoe have quarreled and are not going to be married after all. Then I heard that the Singletons have a baby, and Mrs. Singleton wants It called Peter Garibaldi, after her mother's stepfa ther; but Mr. Singleton wants It called Primus, because it's the first Then I heard that Baron von Schmeldt Is not a baron at all, and that the Johnsons " "But " "Don t Interrupt. I thought yon wanted to know what I heard?" "So I did, but " "Keen aulet then. Well. I also heard " "What I meant was, what opera did you hear?" "Oh. I don't remember. I saw the name on the program." FAR LOOK FOR SMALL THINGS He Often when I look up at the atara In the firmament I cannot help thinking how small, how insignificant I am after all. She Gracious! Doesn't that thought ever strike you except when you look at the stars In the firmament? Exasperating. All afternoon Mr. Stubb had been moving pictures from one room to an other and his only reward was dust and perspiration. "Hurry up, John," chided Mrs. Stubb, impatiently. "You will never finish at that rate." Mr. Stubb removed the cobwebs from his florid brow. "Woman, do you think I'm a ma chine?" "Gracious, how funny!" "Madam, may I ask what la funny?" "Why, dear, if you were a machine you would be a moving-picture ma chine." And then and there Mr. Stubb washed his hands and started for the club. An Expert's Opinion. A student in a medical college, whll learning the use of the ophthalmo scope, was told to examine a man's eye and report upon the condition of it. The doctor-to-be adjusted the in strument and looked long and search lngly Into the subject's left optic. "Most remarkable," he ejaculated, with a surprised look. Readjusting the ophthalmoscope, he again careful ly scrutinized the eye. "Very extraor dinary, Indeed," he exclaimed. never heard of such an eye. This must be some new disease. Have you ever had an expert's opinion on it?" "Once," was the laconic reply. "The man who put it in said it was a fine bit of glass." Tit-Bits. The Inventive Parent, Woodbury I noticed that pop had electric lights put Knew on bia lawn last summer. Seaforth Yes, and he also had a baby sling put on his lawn mower. He figured if his baby was wakeful, so he would have to walk with it, that he might as well push the lawn mow er and cut the grass at the same time. I have often seen him come from the house at midnight, turn on the lights, put the baby in the sling and start out on his double Job. Impossible Employment Seymour Did you have steady em ployment during the time you wert living in South America? Ashley Steady employment? What are you talking about, man? Don't you know that such a thing as steady employment is a physical Impossibility In South America? Seymour No; why should it be? Ashley Why? Simply because therf are so many earthquakes there.

"Doctor," said one of those self-centered ladles who are always extract ing opinions gratis from the medical profession, "what do you consider the best food as a constancy?" "Hope, madam," returned the doc tor, promptly, "at all times and in all places. Not a senseless optimism, but a self-respecting hope. Heaven and Nature Intended It to be the chief pabulum of the race." , The table dared not smile, and the doctor, hav ing secured a few minutes' immunity, declined "wholesome" prefaces, and fell upon a robust breakfast of bacon and eggs, waffles and hot rolls. The lady regarded him wistfully, for tie doctor ate with appetizing gusto. A stomach long trained on other peo ple's theories concerning edibles was not to be trifled with, so she was fain to- Batisfy herself upon a tasteless cereal, and then nibbled a little dry toast and sipped a woeful substitute for coffee. But the doctor is nothing If not humane, so, between his waf fles he looked across at her pleasantly and began: "I said that because what a doctor actually does or gives is in finitely less in its effect than what he suggests. This Is a truth old as Hippocrates and Galen, though, per haps, only In this age are we begin ning definitely and intelligently to utilize it Happiness is the substance and aim of life and living, and hope" Is nine tenths, say of happiness; its greatest factor; therefore beware of unconsciously dispensing with hope." Harper's Weekly. TALE OF REIGN OF TERROR Pathos of Little Nicole's Execution Overcame and Nearly Killed Spectator of Iron Nerve. M. Lenotre's book on the experi ences of the Gascon royalist, the Baron de Batz an English version of which has Just appeared was first published in Paris some years ago, and It is surprising that it was not translatetd before 1910. De Batz was one of the strangest figures of the French revolution. He is said to have used his enormous wealth in bringing about distrust among the revolution ary leaders and la crippling finance, and thus had much to do with the end of the butchery. There was one ter rible Incident of the executions pre ceding the fall of Robespierre thus narrated by M. Lenotre in this vol ume: "A certain man of great strength and hardness one of those athletic people who are all muscle and have no nerves wagered that he would watch the execution at close quarters without flinching. Whether he stood with the executioner or not I do not know. For a long time he bore It un moved; but when little Nicole came upon the scaffold, and arranged her self upon the plank, and said gently to the executioner: 'Monsieur, shall I be all right like that?' his head swam and his sight failed him, his Immense strength gave way, and he fell to the ground. For a moment he was thought to be dead and was carried home." Light Attracts Customer. In the downtown section of a city the theater audiences come and go through two avenues leading to car lines. A haberdasher has a shop in side street between these two chan nels of travel, at a much more reason able rent than he would have to pay on the avenues. Study of the condi tions convinced him that the theater goers took those avenues, not because they were especially convenient, nor as a matter of habit, but simply be cause they were light When he put up an electric sign big enough to light his section of the dark side street he diverted enouEh travel past his win dows every night to Increase mate rially the daily sales. Saturday Eve ning Post Happy at 103. William Head, who yesterday cele brated at Windsor Workhouse his hundred and third birthday, when asked if he would like to go for his usual walk into the village of Old Windsor replied: "No, thank you. As this is my birthday I prefer to spend It at, home." He looks upon the workhouse as his home, and spent a happy day there. He rose at 7 o'clock and had his usual pipe before break fast Then the master brought him two presents of tobacco which had ar rived for him. For dinner the old man had boiled beef, vegetables and bread. He spent the afternoon with his friends at the workhouse, and having had a good tea, went to bed at J o'clock. London Daily Mall.

On lady of such tendencies announced to a surprised audience in a London boarding house that her husband had written to say that he was going to buy an automobile.

"ExcelBlor" Is a poem about a young man who walked one winter evening through a village In the Alps. The hotel keeper Btood In his door and told him the rooms were all taken, but anyhow the young man knew he didn't have enough money for tips. Po he went on. He carried a banner reading "Excelsior." One theory Is that he was a drummer for an upholstery house and the other is that he was a demented breakfast food inventor. He was -found next morning near the top of the moun tain and his relatives were notified. Mary had a lamb that she spoiled by overfeeding and cuiMllng. She took it to school with her one day and the lamb bothered the spelling class, so the teacher kicked it out of the front door. Not having any sense of direction, it blatted around the schoolyard until finally the teacher sent Mary home with it and told her if she ever brought it again there would be trouble.
