the first harbinger of returning school

of college girls m ust be undertaken.
So fa r ns her headw ear is con

fully well suited to youth. T here is
nothing startlingly different in the hat

becoming and popular during the surn-
SOME FALL MILLINERY
Btef, hut there are some very novel
trim m ings, the like of which we have
not Reen before. They are th e queer-
looking ornam ents and decorations
done in the “cubist” o r “ futuristic"
m anner, th a t m ake one think of a
crazy-quilt pattern. P aris started this
style, which mny become a vogue, by
tak in g Inspiration from the “In tern a
tional Exposition of D ecorative and
Industrial A rts” now In progress
there, where the a rt of the “mod
ernists" Is on display. B ut in mil
linery this new a rt only appears in
little touches—easy to get used to—
If not to understand.
The group of four h ats shown here
Includes four distinctly different shapes
am ong popular types of millinery and
lends off with a sm all off-the-face
model of silk th at is soft and close
fitting. It Is made with a sectional
crow n and pointed upturn ed brim, both
covered w ith rows of machine stitching
in silk. As a rule these h ats are made
of black, or dark-colored, silk and
stitched with a bright contrasting color
o r several colors In silk thread and
th is stitching gives them the required
texture. They need no frame. Ap
plique m otifs of stitched silk and an
ornam ent supply the trimming.
At the left another silk-covered hat

a velvet facing, with soft brim edge.
Loops of ribbon and an ornam ent trim
It. At the right a amall velours hat
has an upturned brim and a simple
s tra p trimming. It announces Itself as
a sm art herald of new modes with
brim edge and stra p trim m ing bound
w ith gilded kid.
A wide-brimmed
dress hat of soft felt finishes the
group. It Is adorned with velvet leaf
motifs, veined with gold p sln t and
edged with gold ribbon and a small
ornam ent.
For daily w ear hats of th e asm s
type as two of those pictured are rec-
ommended, and they may be Imd in
a variety of shapes.
The soft-
stitched silk hut and the felt or ve
lours hat will stand up under much
wear, if bought In good q u alities; the
very cheap ones are not durable.
All the heavy crepes, cre|>e satins
and satins used fo r coats, have
established them selves so firmly In
the esteem of women th at designers
concern them selves only with ways
of varying them. Every woman, old
or young, look* well in these silk outer-
garm ents und it is the business of
stylists to turn them out in versions
th a t are dignified or piquant or tab
lured, to meet requirem ents of many
kinds.
H ere Is a coat of heavy silk crepe
th a t will make Itself very useful In
the interim between sum mer and win
ter. It is a straight-line garm ent
with, fulness let in at the sk irt por
tion by m eans of wide plaits at each
side. The handing which finishes the
bottom and sleeves and m akes the col

silk th at suggests fur a t a glance—but
ap p ears to be like parallel rows of
sh irred tucks. T here a te many pile
fabrics and plushes th at may be used
in th is way.
A coat of th e heavier silk fabrics,
lined with crepe, and interlined, will
m ake Itself useful nearly all the year

wear. Black and dark brown are th e
usual choice in colors with tla c k al
ways in the lead.

THE JAGUAR
The Jag u ar had heard a conversu

Each had been doing much talking.
Tl e Tiger had been saying th at the
Lion spent most of his tim e In ro ar

things In life.
Whut the Tiger had said was p er
fectly true, hut it had m ade the I.lon
angry and he had roared more than
ever.
“Well," said the Jag u ar, "as I am al
most as large as the Tiger I think I
ought to he heard from, too."
“ W hat do you mean when you say
you ought to lie heard from ?-' asked a
young Jag u ar, a uew arriv al in the
zoo.
“I mean th at I ought to tell you
something about uiysetf,” th e Jag u ar
said.
“Well, why dou’t you?" asked the
young Jaguar.
"I believe I will,” said th e Jaguar.
"Ha, ha.” said King Lion. “I ant not
th e only one who w ants to boast."
"Nor I." said the Tiger.
“I didn’t say I was going to boast,"
snarled the Jaguar.
“I rem arked th at I should he heard
from and th a t I should tell something
of myself.
“I may tell som ething very, very
dreadful.”
“Not much chance of th at." said
King Lion, tossing his mane and look
ing very proud and superior.
"Not much chance of th at," said the
Tiger.
Even the young Ja g u a r added:
“Not much chance of »hat."
“Maybe not," said th e Jag u ar, “and
again, maybe so."
“Oh. don’t w aste so much time,” said
King Lion, “go on with your story."
“T h a t’s the right idea,” said Tiger.
“Yes, go on with your story,’’ said
the young Jaguar.
“Ah. you’re all interested." said the

"You’re not going to catch a train,
as folks say, King Lion.
“ Nor you. Tiger.
"N or you. Jag u ar.”
“No, I'm not going to entrh a train,"
said King Lion. “I w ouldn’t go on one
of the silly, puffing things.
“I don’t have to puff, for I can roar."
“I don’t have to catch a train, it Is
tru e,” said th e Tiger. “Nor do I think
th a t a very sensible rem ark."
Even the young Ja g u ar agreed with
this.
“I thought I was going to have a
chance to spenk," said th e Jaguar.
“To be sure," said King Lion. "I'm
only w aiting for you to begin.”
“Only w aiting for you to sta rt,” said
young Jag u ar.
“Only w aiting for you to commence."
said th e Tiger.
“Then let me get started ,” growled
th e Jag u ar.
“Let him get started ,” said the Tiger.
“Let him get started .” said young
Jag u ar.
"By all means, let him get started .”
said King Lion. "Not, of course, for
a train , but with his story.”
“T h a t’s w hat we m ean," said the
Tiger.
"Yes, th a t’s w hat we m ean," said
th e young Jaguar.
“Well,” said th e Jag u ar. “I will tell
you.
“I came from South America and I
had a very exciting trip here.
“I came in a boat, I did. and so I

are beneath my notice.
“Every one admired my handsome

“Yes. I am the fine Jag u ar. I am.”
“T rue," agreed the young Jaguar.
“He boasted, too,’’ grinned the Lion,
