(SEASON'S OUTING HATS UTTRACTIVE AND VARIED STYLES AHE OFFERED. Small, Close Shape ls the Best Liked -Smart Models in Sailor Designs -Ratine and Linen Combine With Taffeta. Outing hats of this season are of many shapes and kinds and on the ?whole are more attractive and varied than usual. Any of the small close "hats popular for street wear will serve if or motoring, but it is well to have* .something dustproof for summer tour ing and many women object to being .swathed, in all-enveloping dark veils with or without the shields over the eyes. A hat of burnt straw has a rounded crown of the same straw, not too high, and fitted lightly I down around the head without drooping too low over the forehead. In fact, there is a little curve or dent up at the left front which adds greatly to the be comingness of the , model. This hat .la extremely light Rubber and silk. ?in weight, and its Kjnly trimming is a folded band and a (bow of black patent leather lying close ly against the hat and looping exceed ingly smart against the yellow straw. The sailor takes on various forms ithis season. One smart model is made of glistening black rubber. The hat has a shapely crown and the narrow, ?slightly turn-down brim is lined in red .taffeta. For riding, sailor and con tinental shapes are the popular sum mer hats, but for winter and formal equestrianism the derby holds first 'place. English women rather like a ,rather wide brim derby or fine straw, and it has its merits, but it has not ?been accepted here. Sailors are always in vogue for gen i eral outing wear, but the popular out ling hats of the summer are likely to be the panama, peanut, leghorn and other ?scupple straws with brims that may be ; straped or caught as the wearer {pleases. Some good models have wide brims (drooping slightly all round and trimmed iflimply with a *band of black velvet. (Others are turned up directly in front or at the side and held by some sort of ornament, or perhaps the wide, soft brim merely rolls upward toward its edge at the left front and is not caught up at all. Ratine and linen is also made up in ?combination with taffeta. The white ratine or linen on the outside with the 'under brim faced with black, blue, red or green taffeta. A fold of the col ored taffeta sur rounding the round shaped crown of the hat and held in place by little tabs of white material. An attractive picturesque mc***r of the felt and straw combination (UnBMHBBr-: ' is trimmed around Man(.a its low, flat crown with a band of 'Bulgarian embroidery. The brim is ?wide and drooping, making an excel lent protection for the sun, shore-wear or canoeing on mountain lakes. There are a great variety of bathing reaps this season and the very newest .thing shown in this line perhaps ls the two-piece rubber cap. The cap is of ;tannish-colored ribbon, edged with black. There ls a large, round shape, which is laid over the head, which, 'when placed on the head, falls in rip iples around the face. A scarf cf the [rubber is swathed around the head, ?holding the round piece of material In ?place, and ls tied in large loops and ?ends at the sides. v i CACHET FOR THE PETTICOAT ?Band of Ribbon at the Knees Adds te Effect of Costume-Also May Be Worn Around Bust. i \ The question of petticoats is a most {important one just now, for with the {narrow skirts and the lacy underslips required by fashion, one wonders how a girl is to acquire even that semi clothed look that is rather expected ol her, for her colored stockings will show at the knees if she wears a lace petticoat, and there is no room for hei skirts-however, a band of ribbon about six or seven inches wide can be run on flat at the knees and will great ly add to the effect of her costume. An other wide ribbon may be worn straight around the bust under the arms and will bring out the lace bras siere on top o* her princess slip, and ?In the uncorseted days, if the ribbon ?be boned slightly at front and back, ?may really be worn with a well-made lace brassiere instead of a corset, il lone be of the ultra slim figure that ia (now en regie.

CUTS INTERVIEW SHORT PLAIN CITIZEN DRAWS S WATCH ON PRESIDENT. Baltimore Man Thinks of Engagement With Wife, and Habit Made Him Run From the Presence of Wood row Wilson Without Saying Good by. It isn't often that a plain citizen like any one of us draws his watch and cuts short an in terview with the president of the United States just because his wife has made him put on gray silk socks and other gay rags to attend an outing to the sea shore. That's what John Driver of Balti more did the oth er day. He knew his wife was wait ing for him, and lt was just habit which made him snap his watch and run from the presence of Woodrow Wilson. "Gee," said Driver, in telling the story to friends. "I didn't know Pat Tumulty had gotten up in the world like that! Pat and I used to work in Newark, N. J., together 15 years ago, when we were kids, and we al most upset the town with our tricks taking pasture bars down and letting cows into the corn, filling wagon bot toms with water, overturning rain bar rels and the like. "Then we moved away. Pat got married and had children and so did I. I've been too busy lately reading trade journals to find where I can sell sashes, doors and blinds, to read any thing hut the headlines of newspa pers. "My wife reade all the papera. She can tell you what the president or King George or Emperor William are doing .. .iy minute, and sometimes she's ashamed of me. .MDn Wednesday I came to Wash ington to try to sell some gooda. I certainly was looking slick, if I do say it myself. My wife had even man icured my nails the night before. "Say, as I was walking along Penn sylvania avenue, who should I see driving down it In a great big automo bile but Pat Tumulty, my ?old friend Pat I puts my hands to my mouth to make a trumpet, and I yells at him: 'Hey, you Jersey skeeter, what you do ing up in that buzz wagon?' "Pat turned around, and when he sees me he runs the automobile up to the curb add grabs me and hugs me. 'What you doin' over here?' he says. I tells him, and we talks a few min utes, and then he says he's got to go. 'What you doinT I asks. 'I got a job up to the White House,' he says. 'Come and see me.' Then he has to go. "When I gets through my work, I goes around and I asks a man in a uniform for Mr. Tumulty. I supposed Pat was a doorkeeper or something like that. 'Are you Mr. Driver?' the man asks, and when I tells him I am, the fellow grins and shows me in. "Say, Pat Tumulty's in u 0reat big room, and he's got a desk with a top to it as wide-" Driver looked about In desperation-"it's aa big as this room! And shiny! 'What'a this job you've got, Pat?' I asks. Tm secre tary to the president,' he says, and I almost drops dead. "And just then a man walks into the room yelling, 'The president of the United States.' Before I have time to touch my tie, in walks President Wilson and Tumulty says to him: 'Mr. President, I want to introduce my friend, Mr. Driver!' and he grins. The president grins, too. " 'Is this the man you were telling me about last night?' President Wil son asks. 'Yes,' says Tumulty. 'I want him to tell you the story of Par son Jones some time. There ain't no body oan tell it like Jack.' "I opened my mouth-and Just then I think about the outing and my wife, and I grabs my watch out of my pock et, and it's two minutes to ll o'clock! "Two minutes to catch that train! 'Gee, I've got to get out of here,' I says, and makes a bolt for the door. 'Hey, wait a minute,' says Pat, laugh ing. The president was laughing, too. 'You can't never*make lt that way.' And he presses a button and a black man comes and Pat says: 'Take Mr. Driver down to the train in the car, and make that train, do you under stand. Make it!' So I ducks without even sayin' goodby to the president, mind you. I'm ashamed of myself. "Well, the conductor had his hand on the bell cord when we were out side the station and I got up in the ma chine and yells: 'Hey, hold that car!' "The White House automobiles all have a coat of arms on 'em, you know. I wasn't thinkin' about that, but the station master sees it, and his arm stops as if it was paralyzed, and I jumps out and gets in. I ain't got much breath left." Demands of Vaudeville. "Vaudeville," says E. A. Woolf In the Dramatic Mirror, "now demands that the material in a playlet must bs weighed with an idea; it must be free from horseplay; it must he developed in consistent cha? acter drawing ; it must be along new lines; and, above all, it must be clean." Mr. Woolf writes thus encourageingly with the authority of one whose came last season "appeared upon more theatrical programs than that of any other author in the United State*," according to the editor of the Mirror. The farmers are hereby notified that the Graniteville Mfg. Co. has re-opened its cotton market at Graniteville, for the purchase of cotton from wagons, and will probably buy cotton direct from the producers during the remainder of the season. Our market closes promptly at 12 o'clock on Saturdays. A. H. GIBERT. Secretary. J 3? al Sci. Fresh Seed For Green Lots and Cover Crops.
