Fall Hat Fashions a French Influence Emphasized in This Season’s Headgear Ribbon Is Used Lavishly; Bleu do France Is One of the Leading Shades. The French influence is very strong In millinery this season, stronger than j It over has been, writes a fashion cor- | respondent In the New York Tribune. | Even the hat manufacturers making the popular priced merchandise have sent their representatives to Paris to purchase their own models, which they are copying at moderate prices. The American woman is now de manding a great deal more of her mil liner than she has during the last four years. Women are evidently tired of paying big prices for hats representing little of art and no workmanship. It takes longer to make one of the new ribbon hats —that is, the hats made en tirely of ribbon —than it did to make half a dozen of the simple hats which American women have, season after season, accepted from their milliners without protest. Colors are prominent in autumn mil linery. French modistes are using a great deal of a blue known as bleu de France, which Is slightly more intense than the blue of the French flag. Loul son has made some duvetine hats in this shade. Maria Guy is especially fond of using this shade of blue in taffeta ribbon as a trimming on black velvet hats. A deep rose shade is also being shown considerable favor. In hat trimmings ribbon is one of the strongest factors. French millin ers used it In great quantities during the summer season, and its use has in creased with the approach of autumn. So greatly has it been accepted that milliners expect its. use to continue through next spring and summer. In past seasons ribbon trimming has - usually meant bands and bows or other tailored effects. Now the use of rib bon Is entirely different. It consists of all sorts of hand-made motifs and FOR THE DINNER OR DANCE | , „ jt' This gown is of crepe romaine, of tangerine tint, with a silver cire girdle. It is a chic dinner or dance frock for the debutante. WILL ADD DESIGN TO THE DRESS Use Silver and Gold Embroidery Only at Places Where It Will Give Weight. Many of the dresses madfc of dark blue or black or the darker shades of brown are embroidered most Intricate ly in threads of silver and gold. This embroidery is applied only at the places where It will help to give weight to the -silk and add design to the dress as a whole. It Is never add ed as an extraneous trimming, but it conforms to the lines of the dress as a whole and Insists upon being a well considered portion of that dress. Of panels there are many. They hang lower than the hems of the dresses in almost every instance and there is a decided tendency to repeat the embroidery of the frock, whatever that may be, on the ends of the panels, giving them, thereby that modicum of extra weight which adds so much to their general appearance. / Some of the panels are plaited and *frhen this is the case, they are apt to swing about in the breeze with more abandon than when they, are made on plainer lines and ornamented with em broidered motifs. These panels in many instances literally sweep the floor, even though the skirts are some Inches shorter. They arc taking the lead de cidedly in the direction of longer skirts and they seem gracefully to indicate the fact that, before many months , have passed, skirts in general will taken the bint and dropped to that lower level. There is still some controversy, of • about whether the long skirts > NOVEL DESIGNS OF WOVEN STRIPES Arrangement in Different Patterns I Interesting on Handkerchiefs; Hems Are Hand-Rolled. The use of woven stripes in differen designs is interesting on handker chiefs. Two fairly wide Stripes an featured <>n one model? These cross a the corners. Others have a number o single tliread stripes, while still other; feature very broad woven stripes. Tin hems on these ’kerchiefs are hand rolled. Color is used a little more delicately here than other places, but is very effective. One handkerchief lias ajbor der inside the hem which runs near tin corner and stops, the hem at the cor uer becoming colored. ii a simple scroll design in color, and Ii little white flowers, fills up the spact between the inside borders. Anothei Humber uses little colored bars, alter uating horizontal and vertical. Black stripes are printed on colorer linen, which is woven with a litth VSiread stripe In self-color. ¥ THE UTILITY HAT OF SATIN a.-.- * This general utility hat of black satin is given distinction by a “splashy” bow of velvet, and lends itself to the average face. entire brims made of both shirred and plaited ribbons. Many of the early autumn hats for dressy afternoon wear are of panne velvet, and quite a new fancy is to trim them with broad taffeta ribbon, bringing the ribbon through slashes to the under brim, where it forms pointed panels. The ribbon is also wound around the crown in a sort of oriental headband. This makes a stunning and becoming hat. It Is especially attrac tive when a dash of bright color is introduced through the ribbon such as bleu de France or one of the lovely new red tones. CARROT IS SHADE FOR COATS Wraps for Little Tots, in New Color Which Is Cross Between Rose and Terra Cotta. An attractive little group of tots’ coats is one with carrot, a new shade,, introduced. The fabric belongs to the duvetine family and is especially at tractive In this happy shade, a cross between old rose and terracotta. The coats are sprightly affairs, many featuring unusual yoke handlings, the yoke sometimes covering the shoulders and a section of the sleeves* and again forming a part of the bodice, front and back. Fur collars are features of each num ber, and reflect a grown-up air, which is bound to be appreciated by their small wearers. One model has a shawl collar of beaver, and resembles nothing so much as a gentleman’s dress coat. Another coat has a brown caracul collar, and still another, also favoring beaver as its trimming shows the collar in stand-up rolled effect. Pockets are discreetly inserted, some in vertical handling and others choos ing a slanting direction. Plaits, emanating from a yoke, give added fullness to a model which boasts a generous beaver collar. One smart little number has a small single ani mal scarf serving the purpose of a col lar. Hats to match are displayed with the coots. The Sandal Stocking. With the low sandal and its buckle strap the proper hosiery is the sandal stocking. This has no reinforcement over the toes or along the sides of the foot, where it is likely to show above the low shoe. The newest sandal stock ings come in a peculiar shade of brown, deeper than sand, but not so deep as cocoa. This is the recent “wood” shade, which is fast supplant ing nude and sand. ¥ shall prevail, but to a practiced eye It looks as though the designers are hav ing things all their own way and that another season will see the sweeping skirt an accepted thing. ALMOND GREEN IN LIMELIGHT Color Combines Beautifully With Sil ver Which Is Such Strong Vogue Just Now. The almond green, which has had such a long run in Paris, promises to be quite as popular In this country. Prominent shops are featuring this shade in millinery and dresses. It is being shown in such exquisite effects that it cannot fail to receive the appro bation of good dressers. This color combines beautifully with the silver which is having such a strong vogue now.' It is effective with black and | the modish grays and looks especially well worn as a velvet toque with furs. The iridescent coque Is a favorite trim ming on the almond hat and produces a charming blend of tones. It is quite likely this new green will be much in evidence throughout the winter. Veils. Veils have an important mission at this time —they furbish a hat that per haps has faded a trifle or been injured ,by rain. i . Bead Chains. Bead chains are growing much longer. Often they are worn twice or three times about the neck. Is Apron-Frock is Practical. A combination apron-frock is a good plan for using up the crumbs that fall from the table.

A lt blouse with kimono sleeves is of con trusting material —another crumb, per ’s imps—and the bib comes up to form 16 the base of the neckline. A slip through belt and pockets can be added of the contrasting cloth. y ’.V Printed Silks, r- The beauty of printed silks is no ie doubt the reason for their continued r- vogue and the woman who needs a h frock will find silks of extremely pret n ty designs and exquisite colorings sj most reasonably priced. >r r- Autumn Colors.

WHEY AND ITS USES In the Journal of Household Eco nomics the statement is made that any infant that can live Sat all may be reared on whey, made by rennet, using the rennet tablets, with skim milk, cream, milk sugar, modified tc suit the needs of the child. Whey is valu able because of its abun dant mineral content in natural physical solution. Some of the older housekeepers still use whey, when obtainable, In the preparation of v bread; the whey is used In place of mili and water, mak ing a very wholesome, tasty loaf. The whey should be scalded before using. In some of the foreign countries a cheese is made from whey; in this country both butter and cheese are made from it. Whey combinations with fruit juices are especially good; the slightly acid whey is particularly delicious in frozen dishes. Whey Pie.—Mix two-thirds of a cup ful of sugar with three teaspoonfuls of cornstarch and add to one cupful of boiling whey. Cook the mixture until the cornstarch is well cooked, then add two beaten egg yolks, one tablespoonful of melted butter, pinch of salt and the grated rind and juice of a lemon; cook two minutes, then pour into a baked pastry shell. Cover the top with a meringue prepared by beating the whites of the eggs, add ing two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a few drops of lemon flavoring. Bake in a slow oven. Whey pie is a close rival of the popular lemon pie.

Place of Consequence Even in the Stone Age— Vainly Sought to Destroy It. By SELBY F. MAXWELL There is a legend among the Mo hammedans that God has promised that Smyrna shall never be destroyed. They have abundant reason for such a belief. Smyrna is one of the oldest cities in the world. It has withstood the ravages of time and peoples and has endured where whole empires have crumbled and are forgotten. Smyrna was a considerable place In the Stone age. Its original people were Semites of the Mediterranean strain, the small dark south Europeans of today. Before 1500 B. C. the place passed under the rule of the Mlnoan emper ors of Crete. Its civilization remained Cretan until the coming of the Greeks, who introduced the use of Iron. Homer was familiar with Smyrna and is thought to have spent some time there. Homer lived about 3,000 years ago, but to him Smyrna was still an ancient Greek city. The place was, conquered by the Aeollans, one of the first waves of Greek immigration to sweep that coun try. It was the Aeollans who gave the city its present name. The an cient Greeks were a blond people. They came from the Baltic slope of Europe, particularly from what Is now Silesia and Bohemia. lonian Greeks followed the Aeollans about 700 B. C. Then came Armeni an peoples from the uplands of Asia Minor, the Lydians, who were related to the Hlttltes, When Lydia fell to the empire of the Medes and the Per sians, Smyrna fell with it, and was ravaged. Alexander the Great at tempted to restore the city wlien he rose to power. There then passed a succession of Grecian, Roman, and Byzantine mas ters, without, however, affecting the lives of the native peoples. The blond Greek type gradually diminished, whether from the climate or from in termarriage with the natives is not certain. About the year 1000 A. D. a new ethnic element burst in. Turks from Central Asia appeared on the Aegean shores. The Turks are distantly re lated to the dark peoples who live In the uplands of central Europe. Their homeland, called Tartary, or Turkes tan, extends from the Caspian sea to the Lena. They came first as maraud ers, later as conquerors. In 1402 Smyrna was taken by Tam erlane, khan of the Mongola, a yel low people from north Chinn. He burned the city, massacred the people, and to make sure that there would be no rise he filled up the harbor and de stroyed the springs of water round about After the death of- Tamerlane the Turks regained control. They re stored the harbor and rebuilt the city once more. There are three main religions in the city, Greek and Armenian Chris tians and Moslems. These sects, how ever, mean nothing In an ethnic way. It would mean us much In this coun try to imply that Republicans and Democrats are anthropologically dif ferent ; in both countries these distinc tions are political rather than racial. Rats Exterminate Themselves. Director George Jenuison of the Manchester Zoological gardens pro nounces Great Britain’s ‘Tat week,” when efforts were made to decimate the rats responsible for the destruc tion off $140,000,000 worth of food an nually, to be a great mistake. The male rat, the bold rover, is the one caught by poison, and the death of males only improves living conditions for the survivors. Four male and six female rats will, under favorable con ditions, Increase to large proportions In a period of two years. Doctor Jennlson’s suggestion Is to upset the numerical proportions between the sexes and leave the males to destroy their own kind; he would forbid the poisoning of rats, but would take them alive in traps, kill the females, and turn the males loose. He claims to have followed this method for years with success. —Scientific Amer ican. Social Amenity. The Woman recently dropped Into a restaurant for tea.
