We are fortu- nately past the experimental stage in this regard, and while some women econtinue to dlsplay unbecoming motor coats and hegiwear thers is no plausible reason for such mistakes save bad taste or Indiffer- ence. The shops are full of coats and hats both pretty and practical for motoring, and now spring models are coming, with promise of still more attractive motor modes to fol- low. The milliners have fairly revelled in the scope afforded by the motor toque and motor bonnet. Not within the memory of this generation has there been such opportunity to go In for the plcturesque and quaint without offending the taste of the women or over- stepping the bonds of congruity. We reached the motor bonnet by easy stages. The consideration of the comfortable and practical blazed the way and the odd and guaint followed In thelr wake, appealing even to the conservatives and unluckily jppealing even more strongly to the type f women who adores the bizarre and has the courage of her convictions though not | the face to match either the convictions or the bonnet inspired by them. In women be it admitted that many sins inst good taste are committed in the for Aute- | Flnm h she will Took her best. It is not | n ary to adopt one of the very. quaint bonnets in order to modish. Indeed these bonnets are attractive only for cer taln kinds of motor wear and with certain | types of coat, while thers are innumerable small toques or turbans which are as prae tical and comfortable as the bonnets, yet aro less extreme and do not look out of place with an ordinary tollet when one re- | moves a motor These turbans set o low on the head that they may be secursly pinned to the hair, and will resist a brisk wind, even without velling, while when swathed In a vell they are really as secure as the bon- nets. Straws designated as tulle, and as soft, pliable and light as the name Indicates, are used to drape some charming turbans of the sultana type, which will be excellent for motoring. These are {rimmed only by some stiff feather brush or by an ornament holding the draped folds and we have seen be coat AUTOMOBILE BONNETS OF STRAW AND SILK AND TWO CLOAKS OF PONGEE. name of that much abused quality ‘called Quaintness. One ponders over the problem, wonders whether the hopelessly homely women Who wear the fantastic motor bon- nets which only piquant beauty could suc- cessfully carry off imagine that they too are piquantly beautiful or whether, know- ing themselves to be unbeautiful, they have some wild Idea of being chic enough to make up for their lack of beauty. What- ever the reason, the fact remains. The homeliest women invariably wear the most extreme and trying millinery, and this law prevalls fn motor gard as elsewhere, And yet it should be easy for every wo- man to find & motor hat or bonnet In some motor models in which the only trim- ming was a knot and small ringlike ends fashioned from the straw itself. Another good type of straw turban for motoring has a shape like a wide, low Cossack turban. The brim is of a dark color, preferably black, and for rougn straw. The crown is of contrasting color or white and from between the crown and the brim, which is of the same height as the crowwn and lies flat against it, a wide tab of straw matching the crown appears at each side and Is brought down over the brim to which it fastens with a button or ornament.

Foulard enters into soft, full crown which is held In place by bands of tagal straw, these bands crossing in front and running down to the head and quite protect the hair.

For lighter coats, the cool dust coat of summer days, tussor, shantung and other pongees will hold first place for smartness and mohalr will, as' usual, be the thing most merviceable. The fine soft mohalrs of today have much to recommend them beside their admirable wearing qualities gnd are shown in a long line of attractive Colorings and a great varlety of fancy weaves. The material sheds dust, wears like Iron and tallors well, and is at its best when well cut and severely tallored. Of the pongee coats little can be sald tkat has not been said before. They range from the strictly tailored conventlonal coat to the full swathing cape with hood to match and are made in all kinds of pongee from the heaviest rajah motors, etc., to the lightest and sup, est shantung. The nat- ural tones are distinctly the smartest color- ings, and here again we find many of the pretty chameleon linings, though plain linings and dotted foulards also are liked. | The key to the situation—Bee Want Ads. it SAM M’CRACKEN'S TWO HATES Knocked Polities and Religion in Life and Hammered 'Em on His Tombstone. Residents of Morrisville, Pa., are stirred because of a rumor that there Is a desire to have removed from the historic grave- -| yard the headstone which marks the grave of Samuel McCracken, once the most prominent resident of Morrisvillé, because of an epitaph which is sald by some to be sacriligious. On an old-fashioned stone shaft about three and & half feet In height erected in the midst of graves of revolutionery and civil war heroes, prominent clergymen and citizens 1s this inscription: In Mémory of SAMUEL McCRACKEN, ‘Who digd April 10, 1862, It Leading Politiclans and All Go to Heaven, Bound to Stop at Station, While at different times the presence of the tombstone has caused much com- ment, McCracken, before his death, took (all precautions to have the shaft remain He had an agreement of the most bind- ing nature drawn ‘up by the ‘cemetery assoclation of which he purchased the lot The present agitation brings to light the strange life and uncanny death of McCracken, who years ago owned half the to , who had a string of horses and who entertained in a most lavish manner. McCracken was wealthy and lived the role of a country squire—lived a free-lance, care-for-nothing life. He was popular and wes considered a Jolly, good fellow. He was lenlent with his tenants, generous and sympathetic, and many were the kindnesses the poor recelved at his hands, Contrary to her husband's way of think- ing, Mrs. McCracken was a Christian woman, and attended religlous services regularly Her charities were extensive and she took an active part In all the town's chureii work. While her husband objected ‘to her views he allowed her to follow her own gonvictions. Despite his eccentricities, McCracken's heart was broken when his life mate was called by the grim rcaper in 1880, While the minister of Mrs. McCracken's church offered prayers for her on her deathbed, McCracken refused, it is sald, to recog nize the pastor. According to o few old resldents of Morrisville, who remember McCraocken, from the day of his wife's death the man's health began to fall. He prepared for death and confided to friends that he was soon to leave, never to return. After completing all arrangements for his funeral and having ordered the tomb which marks his grave, on April 15, 1862, McCracken went to his bed and cut his throat with a razor. His body was buried according to his instructions close to the grave of his wife, At the same tim another shaft was erected, this memory of Mrs. McCracken, and the two headstones are side by side In & most con- Priests Then 1 Am Some Other to the splcuous part of the cemetery. This is the inscription on the shaft which marks the resting place of Mrs. McCracken. In memory of Phoebe, wife of Samuel McCracken, who dled March 80, 1860—She died a firm bellever in Christ, her Savior. The fact that a tombstone bearing such strange wording as McCracken's really was erected attracts hundreds of persons to the Morrisville cemetery annually. ‘While they have heard of the shaft and its inecription, many are loath to belleve that in reality it exists and journey to Morrisville to see for themselves.—Phila- delpha Record. A SPECIFIC FOR SPEAKERS How a Little Hot Time Saved a Nebraska Speaker, We have always held that it Is up to a mative or a resident to boom his own state, so whenever we find an opportunity to boost something deserving, if it is a North Carolina enterprises we never let it pass. Last winter, in January, on our way to the Pacific coast we stopped off in Nel friends. Going to the state house we found that our old friend, Mr. C. W. Pool, had been elected speaker of the house of repre- sentatives. On Inquiry we also learned that Charley was stopping at the Lincoln hotel, and a fine one, by the way, and as we were also domiciled there it gave us opportunity to see much of him. It may be said, in passing, that Mr. Pool was the first and only democratic speaker ever preslding 'n Nebraska, and naturally enough his work was hard, as all committeemen were essen- tially new to the positions; it was a change after many years. The weather was regular Nebraska weather, In January, and colds and bad coughs and sore throats and all that were in evidence. The speaker was suffering with a severe cold, could hardly talk above a whisper. Patriotically wa opened our grip and presented Mr. Pool with a bottle of Gowan's preparation and | gave instructions how to apply it, and the next morning the speaker felt 100 per cent better; he could talk so he could be heard | and he thought Gowan's was the stuff. | DId we stop at that?

We | rushed an order to the home office at Durham and had a dozen big bott! sent to the speaker's room with the compliments | of the company and during the sesslon | several members tried the preparation and | all of them wera loud in its praise.

Stout women—even those who have worn our other Self-Reduc- ing Corsets—find that No. 522 still further reduces the figure by from 2 to 4 inches. Women of medium and even slight build are wearing No. 522 because it produces a sylph-like form with perfect comfort.
