' ; SMALL hats for spring are to be seen in all the FYench millinery stores of note, launched upon their adventures in the world of fashion; that world has evidenced a growing appreciation of certain shupes which proved too good to pass with '.he winter. These shapes, held over and slightly modified, inado up In spring materials, are simply enticing. The day has come when women de mand hats that are "good" from all flew points, that Is, becoming to the wearer from any angle. If a shape Is especially good In a full front view and not Just right from the side or back, either a new shape must he made, with little alterations In out line, or the trimmer must effect changes by placing the trimming clev NEEDED IN EVERY WARDROBE! One-Piece Linen Dress an Absolute Necessity During the Warm Days of Summer, The one-piece linen dress is found in nearly every girl's wardrobe. It is so necessary in the warm summer days, and being washable may be made up in daintiest colors. Kid fin ished linen having a suoile effect is the season's novelty in linens, and there Is also a basket weave, a striped crash, etamine crash, cotton I'edford cord, granite crash and the basket weave with a wide border of drawn work. The model sketched is of pink l!nen. The upper part Is covered with a blmple design in eyelet embroidery. White lawn collar and cuffs finish tho i eck and sleeves. A pink straw hat with a large wired bow of taffeta 1b perhaps the most ap propriate to wear with such, a frock.

Eullt on Quaker Lines. The latest In negligees will appeal to all femininity. This novel is built on the popular Quaker glrf model, with a dainty fichu of lace, and come In all colors. There are also charming- Quaker girl boudoir caps to match. .v vYv.. V; J erly. These points are so well taken care of by artists in millinery that even the simplest-seeming hats nre really amazingly well thought out and adapted to their wearers. The lines of the Dutch bonnet, the dear Wllhelmina, have been managed In nil sorts of ways. A pretty adapta tion is shown here, having a crown of ptirplo violets and brim covered with purple velvet. A similar hat, in soft hemp, shows a decided point at the front and a small, rather pointed crown, which would be insignificant except for two ears of Bilk perched at the front. The shape in navy blue had a wide flange of velvet in the same color and the loops, or ears, were of taffeta silk, also in plain navy blue of a rather bright shade. A hood of turcan laid over a cap shape, covered with black silk, is also an unusually clever development of simple lines and handsome materials. The rolled-up brim Is covered with two folds of black satin and a bow of ribbon In black satin finishes a band which apparently holds the point of the hood In place at the back. The liking for quaint shirrlnga, quillings! and ruchlngs came in with, the return of fabrics with which they were used almost a half century ago. A shirred band of changeable taffeta finishes the soft straw bonnet Bhapo shown here. Two rosettes of the taf feta look like big, full-blown roses; they are placed at each side of the brim. A short broad plume, la the colorings of the silk, finishes the hat. The bats Bhown In the Illustrations are very practical models. Although each hat, it must be conceded, is chic (to the French degree) yet each is simplicity itself. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. NOVEL DINNER PARTY IDEA "Progression" Does Away With Minor Annoyance That Sometimes Mars the Occasion. A girl who Is looking for a way out of the common to entertain some of her young friends will find a "pro gressive dinner party" a Jolly affair. There is nothing better for helping along new acquaintances, and it also works wonders in another way in not allowing old friends to talk too exclu sively with each other. Often the fun of a small entertainment is spoiled because one or two couples spend al most the whole evening In talking to each other, neglecting every one else. The young hostess has not always ex perience enough to prevent this mis tali e gracefully. Tho progressive dinner party ia managed as follows: Each young man is told to take a certain girl In to din ner, as at any dinner party. The places at table are shown by the usual cards with names. During the first course they sit in these places, but as tho plates are being changed each young man takes the place of the next one to the right (or left). Till? is repeated after each course, th change b iiig always In the same di rection. The girls do not move, sc young men have an opportunity to talk to each girl. Sandals for Small Children. If children wear sandals until they are three or four years old, they will have a natural-shaped foot, strong, ankle muscles and will stand and walk properly.' Wo are all taught to point the tots out when walking. This, how ever. Is an unnatural position, and only adds a greater strain on the In side ri.iisclea of nnldo and foot, caus ing, in many cases, weak ankles and other foot troubles. Let the toes point straight in front when standing or walking, allow the feet to have plenty of room to grow, select broad, flat-heeled shoes for your children, and start them toward manhood on womanhood with normal feet, strong ankles, thus lessening the danger of corns, bunions and all other foot trou bles. Dainty Garters, The curious fancy for mingling black with the adornment of lingerie and other more personal articles Is finally manifested In a pair of gar ters. On the shirred black band that forms the solid part of the garter are sprinkled silk roses In pastel shades; the same flowers ornament the lace rosettes, from which dangle smaller roses on ribbon ends. The lace frill ing is lightly embroidered with black bilk. DARING DAf.DITS SHOT ARGENTINE POLICE HAVE EN COUNTER WITH DESPERADOES. Two American Robbers Are Killed During a Fierce Gun Fight With Officers Daya of Australian Buthrangert Recalled. Iluenos Alr?s, Argentine Republic. The government has received Informa tion rt-sppcUiiK tho deatTi of the two supposed American bandits. Kvans and WilMon, shot In an encounter with the frontier pollco of Chubut. According to tho report by the chief of police of that district, at the beginning of d; comber a picket of eight mounted po lice left In the direction of the Hiver Pico, under the command of Bub-Lieutenant IUanco. It had been previous ly ascertained that tho bandits, Rob ert Kvans alias Hood, alias 1'Ip.co, and William Wilson, had appeared in that neighborhood. The gang of ban dits Infesting the frontier had been di vided Into two groups, owing to th circumstances that they were being closely pursued by another picket un der Maj. Gubhart. The picket In charge of Sub-Lleuten ant Blanch enme within sight of Kvans and Wilson December 9 In a valley, where they were preparing food, writes Robert II. Reid in the Chicago Daily News. The police, getting within about 25 meters of them, descended from their horses, and were at once saluted by the bandits with several dum dum bullets from Winchesters. As the police continued to advance one of their number, named Montenegro, re ceived a fatal shot from Evans' car bine and died almost instantly. The same bandit also wounded another po liceman, Pedro I'ena, In the right arm. The latter replied to tho shots with some effect. Evans fell seriously wounded, but when lying on the ground continued to fire from a Colt's revolver In these ciicumstanres Cadldo Rios stepped nearer and shot Evans dead. On seeing this Wilson made off through the woods with a wound in the left hand received during the combat. Not withstanding that he continued fir ing at tho police as he ran, using hiB revolver with his wounded hand, while he clasped a Winchester rifle In his right In his. flight Wilson tried to take refuge in some brushwood, but his pursuers discovered him. Pedro Roas, from bis horse, fired at him through the bushes, and having dis mounted and got nearer to him, gave him another shot, which finished his career of Infamy. The police found in the possession of tho two bandits one Winchester, two Colt's revolvers, a "Parabellum" revol ver, 4.000 bullets of different caliber. : a saddle, a small tent, $1,100 in money (on Evans), a Chilean $10 gold coin and several other articles. The bodies were recognized by several people 1a the district and were afterward buried. In addition to the above, In conse quence of tho arrangement between the governments of Chile and Argen tina, the frontier police have- suc ceeded in capturing 198 desperats criminals. Many of these have been "wanted" by the authorities for years. The governor of Chubut considers that his district is now practically cleared of bandits, but it Is pointed out that the North American outlaws George Praker, alias Cassidy; Henry Long baugh, alias Harry Place, with his wife, Ethel A. Place, and Harvey Logan are still at large In Chile or Pata gonia, and can easily recruit new ad herents from tho criminals who regu larly escapo from the prisons of the two republics. As an evidence of the remarkable ability of the female bandit it is re ported that after the attempted rob bery of the national bank at Paseo de los Indios, while the police were In close pursuit and the male bandits were unable to reload their revolvers, Mrs. Place deliberately iook aim at full gallop and shot the horse from un der the nearest police officer, which so demoralized the others that all tho bandlt3 escaped. She is a most daring horsewoman and can ride the most un ruly steed without a saddle. ROMANCE IS ENDED BY DEATH I New Wedding Ring and a Girl's pic ture Found on Robber Shot Dead. Montreal.

Then a few of them are ar rested, their pictures are printed, and the more prominent of them come over to this country to lecture.

When sho Intimates that refusing to speak to their husbands on any subject what ever until they yield and give tho wives the vote will bring them around, she Is barking up the wrong tree. No man Is going to yield very much if hs is placed Incommunicado dining the spring clothes season. Neither Is tho visiting lady dealing the right cards when she advises the use of force.
