This fellow fashioned & rule for the sales girls abol- ishing the padded coiffures worn by them, asserting that the use of what the vulgar call “rats” diminished the view of the £00ds and occupied too much valuable store space. Dismissal was the penalty for dis- obedience. The girls behind the counters refused to abandon the rats. Rather than reduce the size of their hair schemes they would sirike in a body. ‘Their reply was lald before the proprietor and negotiations followed, for the merchant hesitated about precipitating so serious a situation In the midst of the hollday trade. The walking delegates put the case persuasively. The girls, they sald, had all bought their win- ter hats on a rat and puff basis, The re- duction of the head plan would mean a serfous 10ss to the workers. Not a single hat would fit. The girls could not afford 10 buy new hats. It was rats or strike. The rats won. Richest Widow in Ameries. ‘Women of vast wealth are always sub- Jects of absorbing interest in these days. The December number of Human Life glves a most entertaining acccunt of Mrs. . H. Rogers, widow of the late Standard Oll magnate. Mrs. Rogers owns no rare jewels or fa- mous_gems, although a word would have brought her the best. When she appears in public she is richly and painstakingly gowned, but with never a touch of the bizarre. When she wentertains it Is with elegance, but to small and selected par- ties. She 1s earning particularly interested in wage- women, When the plan was launched to bulld City Federation hotels for girls who earned less than $7 a week, Mrs. Rogers was the first to subscribe. Mrs. Rogers doesn't spend much of her time at Lenox, or cven at her New York home, preferring the quiet of Fairhaven, with its home ele Her tastes are simple. She cares more for; a walk In the yard of her home than/a whirl up and down Fifth avenue. To understand something about Ms. Rogers one must know something about her late husband. Present-day history can point out no other man who had a sterner face at the office and a softer one at home. Back of this double life lies a cause. She is Mrs. H. H. Rogers. The Rogers home was palatial. But #ince mortar and mass cannot make a home, his Massachusetts mansion must have contained something else. It aid —a woman. Until his death their mar- ried life was ‘deal. For the pure unsel- fishness and careful thoughtfulness of thelr love they had no equal. The two enjoyed being alone together. They spent many hours engaging in light talk. Rogers had a keen sense of humor, and prided himself on his verbal clever- ness. Mrs. Rogers is a woman seasoned with wit, and many were the little pleas- antries they engaged in. Lo Only Woman Tea Taste: Of the whole army of self-supporting wgmen few earn a living in. so unusual vay as Gertrude Mayne, who for the last ten years has held the position of “tea taster” for one of the largest tea houses In the east. The work calls mot only for an intimate knowledge of tea srowing and the tea trade, but also for an unusually susceptible palate, for there are something like 2,000 different varleties of tea on which the taster may be called upon to pass, China aone furnishing 300 distinct grades of black tea, while Ceylon and India contribute many more, to say nothing of the green teas which come from Japan and other eastern countries. Miss Mayne's work is simplified to some extent by the rigorous system of sampling enforced by the United States government There are only seven ports of entry for tea in the United States, and to each one of these a board of examiners is detailed. whose duty it is to compare each separate shipment of tea with the standards es- tablished by the seven chosen exoverts who make up the supreme Kovernment sard. By this means the introduction of \ggyure tea into the United States has .E.. tamped out entirely, but Miss Mayne sald to be the only woman engaged in the work of tea tasting. —— A Real Bachelors' Cla The girls of Dorchester are mad So there! The feminine hearts of a hundred or more of the fair sex have been fiuttering in an anxlety too deep for words, for serious thing fs happening out there, re- ports the Boston Traveler.

It now has forty members, and more are coming in at every meeting The Dorchester Bashelors' club, which started from the idle talk around a Sun- apee campfive, grown into an organization-which serfously threatens the matrimonial market of Dorchester and may compe!

It was o dainty silken thing, lavender in_color, which lay on the table of Cashier Thomas for about two hours. The garment ‘was sent to the customs house by the post- master at Somerset, Ky., who received it a few days ago through the mall from Japan, He did not send in the address of the owner. This was -aggravating women experts called in. “I know every woman in Somerset,” one said, “and I'd Just like to know who Is going to wear that." For half an hour it puzzled Surveyor Taylor and two or three,of his men a: sistants to discover just what the garment was. “It looks to me like the court gown of the queen of Zanziban't Mdller, who measures Stea . #uperin- tends the loading of merchandise at the customs house depot. “Don't you men know anything at all,” exclaimed one of the women clerks, pusi- ing her way through the puzzled group. “Why, that's & kimono." “What in the thunfer is a kimono?" in- quired Deputy Sam Barber. “They don’t have that kind of thing down In Bath county where I came from.” Finally, whén the officlals decided that there was not ing dangerous about the garment they started In fixing the value, It was estimated to be worth all the way from $1.50 to $10.

There 1s a revival of gold this season not only In dress accessories but also in nearly every department of house decora- tion. There are gorgeous gold slippers and stockings to match, gold embroidered vells and long ehawls in net and chiffon cloth, gold turban ornaments and plumes, belt buckles and bage. The mesh chain bags are not new, but the bage composed of a mase of gold spangles are novel and dee- orative. Whatever the foundation material happens (o be it is completely masked with the gold spangles . There are stunning bags made on & foundation of brocaded satin, white and g0ld, the latter picked out in arabesques of goid cord and embroidery. Most of the designs are French and as ornate as the Lous XVI. modele from which they are copled. Old fashioned gold banded china has come in again, and to ocorrespond other table decorations are ornamented Wwith gold. A new French ware is shown in which the foundation of crystal or porce- lain is set in baskets of French gilt. There are baskets for the center of the table, individual almond and bon bon dishes and fruit dishes, as well as card trays and the drawing rose other ornamental pieces for room. Tollet articles in bright gold without sther ornamentation than a monogram are superseding the silver and Ivory goods for thdse who can afford them.

The tricotne, chics and beguiling but seldom becoming, gives piace to an amaz- ing varlety of turbans, with hints of the nearer east and reminiscences of every perfod of history. Then there are state- ments that small hats are to be largely worn, which amounts to just this, that it is now possible to find & modish small hat, but large hats still ho!d thelr own triumph- antly, if you include the large turbans in the hat list. Hats are fiat or high, gay or sombre, alry or ponderous and are HATS OF GOLD AND SILVER LATE WITH FUR ulike olf only in one quality, a sort of mag- ent simplicity. Before the fashlon is killed by popularity it will be interesting to note the enormous use made of gold and siiver tissues afid Jaces in the makeup of all sorts of hate These sumptuous fabrics are, of cours usually employed for dressy hats, though by no means exclusively. They are at their best on wide brimmed hats with & marked crown, though there are some good looking turbans, notably & large swathed one of kold lace over tulle, with two gold colored ostrich feathers at. the left side; and what could be more chic than the little sea'skin hat with the gold lace crown of the sketch? This piling of luxury on splendor, trimming the gold and stiver fabrics with fur, produces a rare effect. The large hat of the plcture, Tor example, is made of rather heavy dull siiver moe and s mounted on the .frame without lining. Around the full, extremely high, crown is draped & soft brownish gray peit, the less and fall failing on the brim, and at the side of & huge swirl of gray aigrettes. The third hat of the sketch has & skunk crown, & transparent gold lace brim and by place by a band of gold over blue. 3 At one of the Fifth avenue shops was shown & hat in tricorn shape composed of g . and black gauze shirred on & ‘wire frame. Around the top of the crown and on the edge of the brim was a narrow band of skunk, and it was finished by the smart black brush fastened with & gold ornament. Two charming elghteenth century look- ing creations were seen at the shop of one of the importers of the most exclusive and original models. One with a drooping moderately wide brim was formed of dull tulle draped over a soft foundation of pink satin, and the brim was faced underpesth with alternate rows of gold and dull silver lace. Around the crown was & swathing of pink satin under the tulle, apparently drawn through (wo small wreaths of tiny pink roses tied together by & bow of blue velvet The second model was a bewitching litile cap shaped thing of the period of Lbuis Quinze. The crown was of silver tulle over dull silver cloth, with & deep band of open silver lace around the face. Just above around the crown there was & twisg of soft bright blue ribbon velled by the silver tulle, and wound argund this fold was a narrow, frail silver ribbon embroid- ered with bright flowers. A peculiar but striking hat with & rather moderate crown but wide brim had the heavy gold lace lald quite flat on the trame without lining. Twa inches of black panoe vaivet edged the brim, and the sole trimming was & cream paridise festher, which was fastened at one side flat under the brim and swept around the back to the’ other side. The gorgeousness ‘of the gold stuffs is costume by a velling of tulle or chiffon. A nice and very possible broad hat hi the frame covered with thick gold gause over this & single thickness of black tulle. Around the crown is & swathing of black tulle with & bunch of black algrettes at the side. A heavy, splendid and outrageously ex- pensive hat, to be worn with a dark green velvet costume, had its wide brim covered with cloth of gold. Over this was stretched dark green chiffon cloth and around the crown was a deep band of jewelled gold Jace with & cluster of wonderful ostrich feathers at the side, of which the body was dark green and the ends gold colored. Broad-brimmed hats with fluffy crowns are to be seen, as always, and one with black velvet brim and large crown com- posed entirely of swirls of white algrettes makes the heart ache to think of the num- ber of birds slaughtered. It is to be hoped that they were imitation feathers, for truly it was in appearance an irreproachable hat. Another hat which could be worn with a clear consclence and was quite as pretty had the same wide black velvet brim, with the crown made of a flutt of loops, of wired black tulle. Two hats expolting & note of red, chic, orlginal and very stun- ning, were seen at one of the good shops. The first, a wide hat sharply turned up at one side, was made of sealskin, and on the other side were two beautiful long ostrich feathers in a curlous shade of soft- ened vermilion. The second hat was of moderate size and covered with ottoman silk in the same bright, soft shade of red, and around the crown was draped a long ostrich feather in dark gray. A hat which would lend beauty to the most ordinary-looking debutante and would make a moderately pretty girl adorable has a wide black velvet brim, & huge soft crown of creamy white fox and at the front, nes- tled in fur, a cluster of gardenias ranging from white to palest pink Another engaging youthful hat is a lttle bowl-shaped thing of black velvet with black velvet bridle to fasten it under the chin, 1ts sole ornamentation I3 & pink rose fastened on (he front and & scant frill af rare white lace showing under brin The perfectly plain flat-crowned black velvet broad hat rolled sharply up at one side and faster A large gold and jewelled ornament very effective and girlish. There are interesting novel- ties in fur hats, first and féremost being the funny litte peaked turban with the wide band of skunk next the hair and the erown & mass of wide-open crushed pink roses. There Is alvo a large round skunk turban which has & crown-of violets not massed, but bobbing cheerfully thelr wems. A small hat of curly white the is some on of sealskin has a soft crown trich feathers and a black rnament at the side. A curlous freak of fashion Is that of embroidering the edges of the large petalied flowers that are often wreathed around hats, and all the millinery shops display nosegays of mar- vellously natural-looking artificial flowers, such as roses, orchids and camellias, which are to be fastened on the fur neckpiece, the muff or at the opening of the fur coat COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE Girl Wh , Fed Mim Him Go. velvet Story of the Burs hrashed = d Let This is the story now Miss Lenoa Bryse, 2 years old, 4335 Forrestville ave- nue, Chicago, caught a Thanksgiving burglar early Thursday morning, fed him and then let him go.
