PLEASING SILK HAT BAGS. If you have a woman friend who Is planning to take a long trip, make her a Bilk hat bag, and win her heart felt gratitude. Most of the Pullman porters are ready to supply the trav eler with paper bags for the protec tion of the hat, but these bags are stiff and unwieldy, and one of soft ehina silk, provided with a ribbon run through a casing at the top, will be much more convenient. On the outside of the bag, near the lower edge, may be placed pockets, closed by snap buttons, for the ac commodation of gloves and veil. Thus everything for a little jaunt away from the train Is at hand when a stop Is made for any length of time. In dianapolis News. get a purple hat and brown dress.

Large sailor hats, with more or less of a rolling, upturned brim, are shown in many styles. With all the richness and beauty of the season's materials, there Is a tad for expensive simplicity.

J. According to a complication of data made yesterday Tommy's gander has won decisions over book agents, Insurance solicitors, bull terriers and automobiles. It Is believed to be the only gander In all of Nutley, N. J., capable ot running down an automo bile and picking pieces out ot a rear tire with Its bill without lessening Its terrific speed. MoBt common gan ders on their trial trips seldom aver age more than half a knot an hour. Tommy Boomer's terrible gander, having overcome a half-grown terrier in a preliminary fight, has grown in prestige by defeating all the dogs in the neighborhood, and within a week has chased from the Boomer premises two oratorical gentlemen whose ob ject in life was the sale of a history of the world, in twelve volumes and eighty-two payments, and another easy running talker, who was per fectly willing to write an insurance policy on anything from life to the glass In the kitchen door. James Boomer, father of Tommy, thinks a survey of the past perform ances of the untamed terror ot Vree land avenue will .convince anybody that if the fowl would only go into training it might whip a wild cat.
