Governor Len Small, Lieut. Governor Fred E. Sterling and Vernon S. Curtis have been Indicted by the Sangamon County Grand Jury, Charged with Embezzling or Withholding One Million and Two Hundred Thousand Dollars of Public Funds:
Springfield, Ill.—The expected has intervened at last, for Hon. Len Small, governor of Illinois; Hon. Fred E. Sterling, lieutenant governor, and Vernon S. Curtis has been indicted by the Sangamon county grand jury, charging them with embezzling public funds and with conspiracy to defraud the state. The four true bills intervened against them run somewhat as follows:
1. Gov. Small, Lieut. Gov. Sterling and Vernon Curtis with conspiracy to defraud the state of $2,000,000.
2. Gov. Small, Lieut. Gov. Sterling and Curtis with the embezzlement of $500,000.
3. Gov. Small with the embezzlement of $500,000.
4. Lieut. Gov. Sterling with the embezzlement of $500,000.
Small's Bond $150,000.
The true bills were returned shortly before 3 o'clock before Judge E. S. Smith in the Circuit court. The loads of Gov. Small and Lieut. Gov. Sulling were fixed at $150,000 each and those of Curtis at $100,000.
Warrants for the three were immediately issued by Circuit Court Clerk Charles L. Koehn. It was stated that Gov. Small, the only one of the three defendants now in Springfield, would appear before Judge Smith tomorrow morning, furnish bond, and demand an immediate trial.
The grand jury submitted a lengthy written report to Judge Smith recommending that the legislature conduct at "exhaustive investigation of the whole subject of the handling of public funds for the two-fold purpose of determining (1) official delinquency, if any, and (2) what legislation, if any, should be enacted to protect the interests of the state and to put an end forever to the traffic in public minds."
HARVARD COLOR LINE
NIPPED BY LEAGUE
Boston, Mass., July 16.—Something new manifested itself at Harvard on Tuesday July 5, at the summer school. Monday, Miss Eunice Hudson of Armiston, Ala., and Miss Galfrey Young, daughter of President Young of Tallahassee, Fla., were given their rooms the night before in Gore Hall, but after breakfast on Tuesday found a note in their room directing them to see Director Murray, who requested them to find rooms outside with colored families as "it might be unpleasant to room with the white girls." They had a double suite in the Freshman dormitory. They found the house of Mrs. E. T. Morris, wife of the president of the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League. Mrs. Morris told the girls to keep their rooms and she telephoned to Secretary Trotter.
When he arrived he found Miss Roberts of Jacksonville, Fla., who had part of a double suite and had been sent to Mr. Murray and not even permitted to enter her room. Mr. Trotter escorted her to Gore Hall, with Miss Bessie Miller, and when the hostess gave a false excuse and said she was powerless, all went over to Mr. Murray. Here ensued an argument of a full half hour between Director Murray, who was "avoiding unpleasantness for the colored girls as some Southern women were students" and Secretary Trotter who insured race discrimination was not the policy or spirit of Harvard University, and that the girls have their rooms and rights.
Finally Trotter prevailed, Miss Roberts was escorted to a single suite in Standish Hall by Secretary Trotter and secured her room. The other girls were advised to stand pat and swimming more was heard of the color line. This was an important victory.
MRS. LAWRENCE A. FERRI-REE'S OIL AND WATER COLOR PAINTINGS ATTracted A GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION WHILE ON EXHIBITION AT THE APPOMATTOX CLUB ROOMS.
Among the many artists in this city that belong to the colored race, few of them can excel Mrs. Lawrence A. Ferrie in producing rare and beautiful oil and water color paintings.
Recently some of her works of art were on exhibition at the Appomattox Club, 3632 Grand boulevard. Well onto thirty or forty of her productions were in evidence and it has been aptly said that her work is indeed a wonderful comparison with that of the great painters of the nineteenth century; that many of them are deserving to adorn the walls
THE BROAD AX
Finding of the Jurors.
The jurors found that during the terms of Small and Sterling as treasurer the daily balances in the state treasury fluctuated between $20,000,000 and $32,000,000, and that beginning with Small's administration these balances were carried on the books as two funds, a "vault fund" and a "safe fund." The vault fund represented loans to legitimate banking institutions.
"The so-called safe fund," the report reads, "represented loans made to the so-called Grant Park bank, which was formerly a private banking institution, but which absolutely ceased to function as a bank after 1908."
Packers Pay "Juicy" Rate.
The average deposits carried by this "bank" and which were used to purchase short term notes from the Chicago packers were found by the jurors to amount to $10,000,000.
The loans to the packers earned nearly, if not quite, 8 per cent, and the grand jury finds that Small (1917-19) and Sterling (1919-21) paid over to the state less than 2 per cent, "if anything." The remainder constitutes the bulk of the state's interest money which the jury charges Small and Sterling with embezzling.
The indictments do not give all the details of the evidence. The "safe" fund was variable; on one specific date mentioned-July 10, 1919, when Small was treasurer—the safe fund ran as high as $18,000,000.
**Commends Treasurer Miller.**
The jury publicly commended State Treasurer Edward E. Miller for his co-operation in furnishing records of his office.
The grand jury and those who have been hot on the trail of Gov, Small claim that two million dollars interest has been lost to the people of Illinois.
The colored citizens of Tulsa, Okla, through their relief committee, respectfully ask that Sunday, July 24, 1921, will be set aside in all churches throughout the United States, as Tulsa Relief Day, and that the pastors and officers of their churches will ask the prayers of every member of their respective congregations for the thousands of victims of the cruel mob that looted, and burned the homes and business places, churches, schools, lodges and everything that the people possessed, and to this day have tried to take the land for other purposes and remove the colored people to a remote field of eighty acres of land wholly outside the city limits and to which a good title cannot be had.
Our people are living in tents loaned to them by the Red Cross, many of which have only dirt floors and no bedding save government cots. Cooking utensils are very much needed. Should winter catch us in this shape there will be great suffering.
We respectfully suggest that on this day pastors and laymen will make talks along the line of better racial understanding that will make such things as race wars impossible, and that each church will take an offering to help relieve these people who are suffering through no fault of their own.
This appeal is to every church, lodge, club, commercial club and every other organization of the race and to organizations of other races who will help.
Send all money and other articles to S. D. Hooker, chairman colored citizens' relief committee, corner Exeter and Easton streets, Tulsa, Okla.
in the art galleries of Paris. The Thomy-Thiery collection, which consisted almost entirely of marine scenes. The "Musee De Marine" being her master production, for in the most artistic manner she unfolded nature in all of her glory.
We are unable to do justice at this time to the wonderful artistic ability of Mrs. Ferriebe, for she possesses rare talent and can easily be classed with the geniuses of the past, with the brush and the colora.
The officials of the Appomattox Club could not perform any more gallant task than to secure some of the art productions of Mrs. Ferriebe to adorn its walls.
Malam M. Callaway Byron, the noted international songstress, and her sister, Miss Nellie Callaway, were among the many prominent persons who viewed the rare works of art of Mrs. Ferribe, and they were greatly delighted with them.

COMMODORE FERDINAND W. PECK The First or the Foremost Citizen of Chicago, Who Celebrated His Seventy-Third Birthday Anniversary Last Friday at the Union League Club, in the Midst of Many of His Warm Friends.
On Friday, July 15, there were assembled at the Union League Club three score and more friends and well wishers of our genial Commodore Ferdinand W. Peck. The occasion was a luncheon in commemoration of the Commodore's 73rd birthday anniversary. Aside from his sons, Ferdinand W., Jr., Clarence K. and Walter V., and Philip F. W. Peck, his nephew, there were gathered to pay tribute to the host, James A. Patten, Postmaster William B. Carlie, who sat respectively right and left of the central figure of the luncheon; ex-United States Senator A. J. Hopkins, Judge Sidney C. Eastman, Roy O. West, John Finley, president of the Chicago and Northwestern Lines; Rev. Johnston Myers, General Walter R. Robbins, Charles H. Burras, Charles P. Read, ex-Congressman George E. Foss, Col. Nelson Thomasson, George W. Dixon, Prof. Frank B. Riley, Dr. John D. Robertson, W. N. Horner, Clarence J. Dorrance, John Enright, W. D. Washburn, T. H. Erickson and many others. At a special table were Mr. and Mrs. William B. Ogden, of New York; Mrs. Jacob Baur, Mrs. Leona Krag, president Illinois Woman's Athletic Club; Miss Marguerite Dorrance, Mrs. Josephine Tureck Baker, Miss K. C. Raclin. Morris Lewis, who has been for over 22 years private secretary to Commodore Peck, occupied a prominent place at the luncheon.
After service of the luncheon Commodore Peek read from many telegrams and letters of felicitation, communications from President Harding, Vice President Coolidge, Senator Medill McCormick, Senator William B. McKinley, Congressman Joseph Cannon, Congressman Martin B. Madden,
FUNERAL OF MRS. CLARA ELENORA WILLIAMS; SHE WAS PROMINENTLY CONNECTED WITH THE ORDER OF EASTERN STAR AND THE LADY FORESTERS.
Mrs. Clara Elenora Williams, the devoted wife of Mr. Albert Williams, 6226 S. Green street, closed her eyes in death the first part of last week. Mr. Ernest H. Williamson, the up-to-date funeral director, 5121-23 S. State street, was in charge of the funeral. The services were held at St. John's A. M. E. church, 62nd and S. Elizabeth streets. Interment at Mt. Glenwood Cemetery. Her husband, Mr. Albert Williams, is the son of the late Jern J. Williams, who was buried from Quinn chapel, March 9, and is the brother of Mand Williams, who was the chorister at Quinn chapel some years ago. Mrs. Clara E. Williams was born in Evansville, Ind., and was the daughter of Mr. George W. Austin
Mayor Thompson, Chief of Police Fitzmarion, Federal Judge Samuel Alschuler, General Joseph B. S. bornborn, ex-Senator James Hamilton Lewis, Richard Enright, police commissioner of New York, in behalf of Mayor Hylan himself and "11,000 cons of New York City."
Commodore Peck occupies the honor of being Chicago's foremost citizen. A review of his useful career brings to mind the Commodore's constructive activities—the erection at Oakwood Cemetery of the first Confederate monument in the North; the Opera Festival many years ago, being the forerunner of grand opera in Chicago; the founding and creation of the famous Auditorium of his native city; his work as vice president and chairman of the finance committee, World's Columbian Exposition, the result of the genius there displayed not being surpassed by any exposition in any part of the world; his service as United States commissioner general to the Paris Exposition of 1900, wherein the American participation took such an important part and United States exhibitors received more awards and decorations than those of any other nation and the commissioner general brought back to his country the "grand prix" representing the supremacy of the United States over forty-five nations. He was appointed by President Benjamin Harrison national commissioner to Europe in 1891, to exploit the Columbian Exposition abroad.
Commodore Peck has grown with the life of Chicago from his birth, July 15, 1848, on the site where the Grand Pacific Hotel building now stands, when he ran barefoot in his early childhood on the narrow pathway that has grown into one of the city's main arteries, Jackson boulevard. He was born on that street, spent his early boyhood on that street, was married more than fifty years ago in a church on that street.
Her remains were laid to rest in Mt. Glenwood Cemetery by the side of her late father-in-law. She was a prominent member of Garden City chapter, Order of Eastern Star, and of the Lady Foresters. Many members of both societies were present and assisted to conduct separate funeral services over her remains.
She leaves a devoted husband and hosts of friends to mourn her death.

founded the great Union League Club now on that street, and has his offices at the present time and for many years on that street in the Monadnock building.
Those who are acquainted with the Commodore know him to be a most loyal Chicagoan and friend and one who puts sentiment, poetry and flowers far beyond possession of dollars. This he has exemplified during his whole lifetime by his active interest in those things that meant for a greater Chicago, civic harmony and the advancement of art and humanity.
The Chicago Tribune in its headline describing the occasion, portrayed the Commodore as the "First Citizen of Chicago"; we "second the motion"; and in said article was printed two telegrams as follows:
"Permit me to add mine to the many congratulations that I know will come to you on this anniversary."
"Warren G. Harding."
"The mayor, the police commissioner, 11,000 cops and numerous ladies and gentlemen of quality salute and felicitate the first citizen of Chicago upon this, his natal day. We send enough good health, prosperity, happiness and best wishes to last you many a long day, so go thy way and sin no more.
"Richard E. Enright,
"Police Commissioner of New York."
It must be said to the everlasting credit of Commodore Peck that he has always been outspoken in his friendship for worthy and highly respectable colored people and the one hundred and fifty thousand colored people residing in this city join with his hosts of warm friends everywhere and rejoice with them that he has been spared to celebrate his 73rd birthday anniversary and hope that he may live to reach the one hundred mile stone in his pleasant journey through life.
The funeral of Rev. G. H. McDaniel, founder and president of the Enterprise Institute, a trade school at 502 to 516 Aldine square, was held from the Ebenecer Baptist church, of which he was a member, Monday morning, July 18, and was largely attended by citizens of both races as Rev. McDaniel was well known in almost every state in the country. He was conspicuous in Baptist circles, an educator and benefactor of his race. Dr. Travis, pastor of the First Englewood M. E. church (white), friend to Rev. McDaniel for the past thirty years, spoke of the life and great work of the deceased. Dr. Nelson of the Lutheran church and Rev. Brookstra, auditor of the school, all white, also told of his life and works. The funeral oration was delivered by Rev. C. H. Clark pastor of the church. A solo was rendered by Mme. Blanche
SMALL BLAMES INDICTMENT ON BRUNDAGE VETO
Springfield, Ill., July 20—(Special.)
—Gov. Small tonight issued the following statement on the indictments returned against him today:
“To the people of Illinois: You, who elected me your governor by the greatest vote ever given a chief executive in Illinois, are entitled at this time to a frank statement from me concerning the “indictment” returned against me today by the Sangamon county grand jury.
“For the present, may I not ask you to accept from me, with the same confidence which you accepted my candidacy for governor, assurance to you that I am absolutely innocent of any charges which the public may consider brought against me by the grand jury, after a one-sided hearing in which personal and political enemies were heard and I had no voice.
Assails Brundage as Plotter.
“Attorney General Brundage, leader of the conspiracy, has succeeded in obtaining this indictment, simply because of* the personal fury I aroused in him because I refused to permit him to take from the taxpayers’ pockets $1,500,000 for the upkeep of his personal machine.
"I promised the people of Illinois that I would attempt to secure for them a 'dollar's worth of service for every dollar spent." In carefully examining the appropriation bills I found $,7,000,000 in appropriations which the needs and welfare of the state of Illinois did not require, and I was able through the power of my veto to save that amount in taxes to the people of our state.
"I found it necessary in thus reducing the burdens of taxation to cut Mr. Brundage's appropriations $700,000. As I explained to you at that time I had no hesitancy in doing this, because Mr. Brundage had been using your money, not for the enforcement of the law, or for the welfare of the state, but purely for his own selfish political desires.
"Evidence of that fact is available. Calls It "Political Assassination."
"So Mr. Brundage not only desired my political assassination, but he proceeded with the machinery at his hands to accomplish that fact. The Chicago Tribune, spokesman for all interests, gladly lent the aid of its powerful press to the spreading
Gov. Small Cries "Character Assassins."
Brundage Replies "Did Small Commit a Crime?"
Gov. Small last Wednesday night issued a statement (printed elsewhere in this paper) declaring he is "absolutely innocent" and charging political enemies with procuring the indictments. He reiterates that "rich tax dodgers, utility interests, character assassins", etc., combined with Attorney General Brunlage and the Tribune and the Daily News to "assassinate his character."
Replying to the governor's statement, the attorney general said: "This is not a controversy between Brundage and Small. The question is whether Small committed a crime as state treasurer. A regular grand jury of twenty-three men has said that he did. And bear in mind that this jury was selected last April, long before the present proceedings were contemplated." Illinois Law Clear and Unmistakable, Dorsey Peyton, Musical selections offered by inmates of the school Members of the Ministers' and Deacons' Alliance spoke of Rev. MeDaniel as they knew him. Many other short tributes were paid, after which the funeral cortege wended its way to Lincoln Cemetery, where the body was laid to rest. Rev. D. P. James served as master of ceremonies; Ernest H. Williamson, the up-to-date funeral director, assisted by Sir Knight James E. Bish, was in charge.
Springfield, III, July 21—Col. Daniel Moriarty of the seventh infantry of the I. M. G. today went on the retired list with the tank of biggadier general. The order for his retirement was at his own request.
broadcast of Mr. Brundage's propaganda.
"The Chicago Daily News, owned and edited by Mr. Victor Lawson, not only a tax dodger of record himself, but spokesman for the millionaire tax dodgers of Chicago who refuse to bear their just proportion of taxes, rushed to the aid of Mr. Brundage and the Tribune.
"The public utility interests, offended because I have kept my pledge for home rule, and the abolition of their former tool, the public utilities commission, gave what support they were able to give to Mr. Brundage's effort to besmirch my name and my record.
**Beings in Traction Interests.**
"The traction interests of Chicago, who know that the present governor of Illinois will reduce street car fares from 8 and 10 cents to 5 if it is humanly possible, gladly joined with Mr. Brundage and the other interests to annihilate me."
"So Mr. Brundage came to Sangamon county, the only county in the state where he had any hopes of securing an indictment against me. While it may seem amazing that any grand jury could do this thing, still I am not surprised that a Sangamon county grand jury, dominated by an organization protecting the most violent criminals and brazen law violators to be found in the state of Illinois, has taken this action.
"Absolutely Innocent," He Says.
"I am absolutely innocent of every charge they make. They, better than anyone else, know I am innocent and that they can never prove the charges, which are simply brought for the purpose of character assassination through the public press of Illinois. And I believe the other parties indicted are equally innocent.
"The people of the state of Illinois elected me on the pledge that I would honestly serve them. I have served them to the best of my ability, regardless of consequences, saving them many millions of dollars. I will continue to honestly and faithfully serve them with every particle of strength and ability I possess.
"And I am not afraid of the final verdict which will come from you, the great people of Illinois."
"Len Small, Governor."
Attorney General Says.
The following statement was issued by Attorney General Edward J. Brundage:
"The constitution of Illinois says in plain language that the treasurer shall receive for his services his salary, and that he shall not receive for his own use any fees, perquisites or other compensation.
"It has been the common gossip of Springfield for quite a time that the handling of the public funds was a business of profit for the officials charged with their custody.
"When the new state treasurer, Mr. Edward E. Miller, brought to my attention apparent confirmation of this misuse of public moneys I deemed it my duty to lay the entire matter before the state's attorney for presentation to the grand jury of Sangamon county.
"The action of the grand jury in returning indictments is the view it took of the sufficiency of this evidence."
REV. SCOTT TO COLORADO.
Rev. T. L. Scott, pastor of the Grant Memorial A. M. E. chapel, 4600 Evans avenue, together with his family, left the city a few days ago in his Oakland Sedan for points in Colorado and will be away two weeks.
Miss Ruth Van Druska, of Morgan Park, is spending a two weeks' vacation at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. George Chapman, 6142 S. Elizabeth street, and she is delighted to be able to see the many wonderful sights in Chicago.
Miss Bena Carter and her mother, Mrs. Carter, 3359 Forest avenue, will leave shortly for Gordonville, Va., their former home, where they will spend their vacation. The many friends of Miss Carter wish her a most joyous time.

T have certainly been in some real

more. I was in Washington when I
wrote you that other letter, and you
will see that I-have made my flight
from there. I was thrown in.com-
pany @ith some big men up there in
‘Washington, and then I went to New
‘York to see Dr. W. H. Jernagin take

river ocean, and I guess he is still
riding or has landed over there, mak-

‘wears a gold medal presented fo him
by the New York conference, having
secured more dollar money than any
other one man in his connection. He
is just a busy man.
Sunday mbrning I went over to
/Baltimore, and preached for the con-
gregation in Trinity A. M. E. church,
jone of the most aggressive congre-

have an-aggressive preacher, Rev. A.

Reaching the eity,-I got an auto-

and loaged myself and my trunks,
and had the man to tote me out to
the home of Rev. P. W. Wrenn, one
of the ‘leading preachers in the Bap-
tist charch, and a full-fledged mem-
ber of the National Baptist. conven-
tion. He and his wife received me
with open arms and told me to be
at home. At might T went to the
opening and heard many addresses.
Here is where I had the pleasure
of meeting Brigadier General G. R.
Hutte, of Bainbridge, who is the head
of the order in this state and a good
one at'that. He is an. educated man,
and hhas been at the head of the pub-
ic schools of his city for a long time,
and right by his side is another won-
derful character, Dr. G. M. Stoney,
of Augusta. He is indeed a remark-
able man and a great physician. Dr.
Stoney is regarded as a leader in
thought in this state and in this coun-
try. He devotes much of his time
to the Court of Catanthe.
Tt would take 2 whole paper for me
to tell you about the various men I
met here. But I cannot refrain from
saying that I met Mra. Mary E.
Moore, of Boston, Mass., the beauty
culturist, the manufacturer, the wom-
an who is interested in the develop-
‘ment of womanhood, and who came
all the way from her home and busi-
ness in Boston to be here at this
meeting. .She has placed her articles
in the drag store here; in fact,.she is
placing them in our drug stores all
over the country, and at the same
time making agents. I consider her
a wonderful woman, and is bringing
things to pass. We need such women
in this age.
Mrs, Mary Nelson Jones, who is
at the head of the Calanthe in
Georgia is indeed a wom-
eee ae
from any great university, but she
‘comes from the school of common
sense and practical experience. She
is 2 devoted Chiistian woman, and
is a safe leader. Her life alone com-
mends her to thé people. Her arm
is ever ontstretched for those who
strive to do things,’ and those who
are making sentiment for, her people.
She is extending her hands to the
girls, and believe me, when I tell you
the work that she is doing will ever
five.
Well, everything is now ready for
the Supreme Lodge of Knights of
Pythias. I am going to be there.
Topeka people are ready for the
thousands of visitors who afe going
to be there. It is wonderful how they
have gotten things together, and not
strange because Dr. S. H. Thomp-
son and Mrs. Norene Davis are at
the head of affairs in Kansas, and
they are backed up by General Thom-
as Kennedy, the editor and the man.
‘Of course, you are going to be there.
Georgia will be well represented, and
T am prond of it.

will meet in September in Chicago,
but Iwill have more time to talk
jabout it, Write to me. Next week
I will be in the Grand Lodge of

the worst part of a blouse to launder,

We make EXELENTO BAIN DRAVENES, an entriment for dark, nellow skins, used in treatment of alpain troubles.
Hats to suit every face, hats appropriate for every occasion and hats that are, above all, seasonable for the time of year during which they are to be worn_ is the ideal that modifies have had in mind for many months, the object toward which they have been steadily working. And, writes a style authority, judging from the miltinery that is presented for the mid-summer season, their ambitions have been realized.
Those who design and make clothes deserve a great deal more of public approbation than they ever receive. They are criticized time and again for forcing the sales of costly and unreasonable merchandise and for showing models much in advance of the season for the sake of obtaining new business and making the clothes which women already have appear a pace behind fashion.
The most fault-finding person in existence could not justly accuse millers of not having done their very best this year to keep dress in its logical place in regard to the season. For the sunny months they have made an extensive showing of typical summer hats. They have made the widest trimmed hat, that so becomingly shadows the face, rival the smaller hat to a degree not seen before.
Large Capelines Vie With Touques.
So much publicity has the wide hat recently received that women might be led to believe that the small hat was about to pass from the realm of fashions. This is not so. Even if it were we would be no better off, for we still would be following one line in fashions without the variety that we should have, and the difficulty of finding a becoming hat would be as great as ever.
Hats prepared for the midsummer are of infinite variety. From large capellines to tiny toques. The tendency recently has been toward larger hats, it is true, but it would be futile to say that they are going to be universally adopted, because they are not becoming to every woman. It means a great deal to a woman to have a becoming hat. The whole world is likely to appear a little more pleasant to her, and it certainly has an excellent effect on her disposition. In order to make it possible for each woman to have her friends say

No. 1 —An Embroidered Organdie Model. No. 2 —Hat Trimmed With Old-Fashioned Lace Barbe. No. 3 —Blue Taffeta Straw, and White Organdie.
"You could not have a more becoming hat," we must have shapes, sizes and trimmings suitable for the funny coifure, for simple, smooth hairdressing and for every type of face. And, above all, there must be hats of every color, for color is very important in making headgear becoming.
Then, they must not all be of fabric. The fabric hat is excellent, and at the moment is preferred to any other, but here again we must be careful to avoid monotony—and a pretty straw hat may be found much more beautifying than one made of silk or ribbon. We too often hear that "they are wearing" such and such a thing. For instance, "They are wearing fabric hats". But the woman who wants to be individual and be becoming dressed will use her own judgment offer having informed herself regarding the trend of fashion, and this summer she will take advantage of the great variety of things offered her.

is that the dimensions of hats in general have increased. They are either higher, broader, or both. Some of the real summary ones are of huge proportions. Among the small types are two new forms recently launched at Paris, in extraordinarily high crowned effects after the 1800 style. These are shown in dark hunter's green straw—and by the way, there is a strong tendency toward these dark greens in millinery.
One such model was trimmed with a huge rosette of straw placed at the side back, and another with tall upstanding quills made of eagle feathers. Ever so many smartly dressed women are affecting these curious tall-crowned hats.
Next after the size one is impressed by the lighter colors, especially in the nets, chiffons, and organles, which are so suitable for hot weather. Among the light colors are lovely Parma violet shades and soft citron hues.
Lovely models of organdle may be embroidered in many hues that are

No. 4—Blue Crepe de chine With Pompon of Ostrich. No. 5—Model Showing Veil of Black Net Embroidered in Colored Cellophane. No. 6—Tailored Hat of Black Straw and Crepe de Chine.
In contrast to the color of the organdie, but blend beautifully with it. An example of this is seen in the embroidered hat.
Another charming model is developed in mauve organdie and trimmed with cherries in cisee and mauve, and a hat of blue georgette crepe of a soft shade with a crown of dyed straw lace.
One is in French blue taffeta, white organdie and blue tagal straw. The crown is of the straw, showing that the modiiste is quite impartial in her use of materials, combining several in one model.
Among the lovely things sent to America is a hat developed in coral pink crepe de chine trimmed with a large scarc of metal embroidered in pink silk.
Some good-looking hats are in sailor shape and faced with very bright colored changeable taffetas—for instance, a sailor of black taffeta, the brim faced with changeable red taffeta, trimming the hat with folded bands of red and black.
Models in Silk and Straw.
Following in the wake of the craze for certain types of tailored things, very smart tailored styles in hats have recently come into unusual prominence. These are made in both crepe de chine and straw. Occasionally taffeta facings in brilliant colors are noted, and especially desirable is changeable taffeta, which gives a marvelous color tone.
One of the most popular of the tailored models is a hat in shiny black straw trimmed with a braided band of bright green crepe de chine. This was brought out earlier in the season and its popularity has increased. Vell-trimmed hats have in no wise lost their prestige, for the most extraordinary styles in vells are just now being launched by leading milliners. A number of harem styles are copied from the Syrian and Egyptian headaddresses. An Egyptian type is in black net embroidered, in colored cellophane.
embroidered in colored cellophane.
Folds of tulle or lace, scarfs and scarf ends often are attached to one or both sides of a hat and looped gracefully. Such trimming is softening to the contour of the face and likely to prove most becoming.
You will see that we have quite as much choice in the matter of trimming as we have in shape, size and coloring. A few of the unusual forms such as the straw rosette and eagle feathers have been especially noted.
But for the midsummer the trimming that one sees in profusion is flowers. There is little novelty about them and it is true that they appear on the most commercial hats.
One of the smartest handbag models was of black fallle, very thin. It opened flat to reveal the white moire filing and a compartment for bills and cards, one for a small change purse, one for a mirror and another for a powder puff—a great deal to be packed away in such a small space.
