Mlllill (illii VEILS
Face Coverings _Abandoned by
the Women of Paris. _
_burious Arrangement, imitation of ma "Fiu”_l_|a_al¢, is Being Worn by American Women.
'l‘h==.__._l!f°1_'r. wmes from Pans that
women-‘hav_o` abandoned the veil. They are tired ot' it. They have taken to eartwhcel hats and do not wish to de- -stroy -the outline of the brim by the told! of a face covering.
There are women over here, howev-
er, writes a fashion correspondent, recently retumed from Paris, who are wearing the most curious veil America has seen. It is attached to a turbnn; it ia as thick as the heaviest coarse not can be woven, and it ls dr-nm -tight around the eyes and the top of the nose, leaving the neck and lower part of the face bare. It is the best imitation of a mosque that we have had so far, and it is intimated that li: was taken from the influenza mask which was worn over the lower part of the face. One of our own design- ers of eccentrlelties hae produced a genuine influenza mak of dyed lace which is drawuupward over the chin and nose to the back of the head. The French one is more seductive and co- quettlsh.
in America we are addicted to veils.
We wear them at all seasons, whether or not we know how to adjust them. The reason for their diminished fash- ion during the last year. is due to the vrar activities of the great mass of women. First, a veil takes a long time to adjust; it should be done well, or not at ali: and, secondly, it is not a good addition to uniform caps. So the veil dropped out, except among a cer- tain segment of fashionables who would feel ashamed of their naked- ness, as they say, if they went with- out lt. The hurry and flurry of life has not allowed much time for leisure- ly dressing, and although the veil was insisted upon by the shops during the lniluensa epidemic, the doctors thought ltlwas extremely harmful and injuri- ous. They knew what the shops evi- dently did not know, 'that an influenza mask must be washed every three hours ln s disinfectant. The ex- treme danger in the veil rested in the fact that it was not washed for days at s time, if ever.
For those who wear the veil, the mil-
liners and Jewelers have united in in- troducing a trifle which has gained much prestige. It is an arrow, an av_ia_to_r's winks. a dagger or the fleur- de-lli` done in jewels. This catches the veil at the extreme upper tilt of the hat in front. -It his been the jewel of the war.
Women have turned their brcoches into these veil pins; they have had other jewelry reset to possess the luxury of the moment, and they have bought them in-real or imitation stones, ln order to be in the procession of fash- lonables.

Florentine Coifiure Ie No Longer l Caprice of the Extremiete-Mih liners Decide They Must Meet the New Demand.
New York.-Yankee Doodle, who
stuck a feather in his cap and called it “nlacaroni," thereby creating a slang word for a gayly dressed man which has gone over two continents and lived in history, could not have felt prouder than the French king who put a piece of straw over his head to keep a`way the rain, and created hats.
Both the feather and the straw
were trivial incidents in tile life of each of these characters (for the satire on Yankee Doodle was rbymed around a msn), but they were the foundation stones of mlllinery.
Women have always pilfered from
men their tricks of apparel, asserts a fashion writer. They are ‘snug little thieves, women, when it comes to pet- ty pilferlng from those who consider themselves superior beings. After ali, it is a form of coquetry, and women discovered centuries ago tha-t nothing so pleased n man as to do what he did, say what herald, and hold on to bl hand socially, financially, politi- cally and mentally. A woman might hate another woman for stealing her fashions, but a man would only look with more pridefui adoration upon a woman who fashioned her clothes after his.
Nothing so delighted the French
kings, the great and haughty Bour- lions, as the fact that their women did

Really perhaps there is nothing very
novel in the handbags of the mo- fment. But just the same there are numy new ones in the shops, as fresh and crisp-if one can call a handbag of softest chiffon velvet crisp--as pcs- sible.
,_ One handbag that is extremely sca- sonable is tlmt made of fur. It matches, of course, the muff or the toque or the collar ol' the trimming on one's coat or frock. Sometimes, indeed, it is muff and handbag com- bined--although even this idea is not new, as it was introduced a couple of years ago. . Then there are the lovely bags of chiffon velvet or vclours made with dull silver settings-not too much of the metnlf and the metal not too bright and shiny. Scale of these bags are the ones with the octagonsl or oval top that clalnps down at one side, fnced with n rcully good mirror.
framework of the top, and'of course the metal clasp, as well, is of the sil- ver. This _same idea is carried out with dull woods of various shades of brown. Sometimes, with those bags, a big wooden bead forms partof the tasel at the bottom.
Tasseis are lilo almost universal
finish to the smaller handbags. When u bag reaches that larger size that puts lt in the 'class of a shopping bag,
-thchandhag _almost always swings a iassel, 'of strands of chenile, of heavy twisted silk, of bends, either of steel. of _'let or of colored glass, or else _a combination of wooden beads and heavy strands of silk.
Some of the new bass have linings
of green, blue or pink and white checked silk, quite like gingham in general appearance. Indeed, they are of silk gingham. At first thought n little checked design of pink and white is no suitable lining for a state- ly bag of black chiffon velvet that costs anyway $10, but still this new lining is novel, and it is dsitify"and fresh as well. Moreover, it wears fairly well, something not always to be found.
Most of the handbags have small
purses within that are attached to the top iframework by means of little chains. This obvlates the necessity of feeling blindly about in the depths of the bag for the change purse, as one has had to do in the small-mouthed bags of the moment.
_____.._.....__.. Gloth of Gold for Hats.
A good deal of cloth of gold is now
being used in dress hats. It is most iceneraily seen veiledwlth maline in ~ order to dull the bright effect, and ap- i pears ‘most popular wben`used under _mallrmof brown orblack. Another nov- i city for use in women’s hats is a satin 1 about 18 inches wide and stitched with 5 silk floss in rows about a quarter of ‘ an inch apart. ` This affect is seen .in | sandgon brown, Chinese blue ou black. ' nnd.jade on black, and is especially ‘ adaptable for draped turbans, crowns and facings. _

The milllnera have not permitted
themselves to be limited by any one period of history. They have dipped with eager. curious hands into all the ashes and embers of the planct's past and produced for the modern woman- n jumble of things that were once \vorn by her predecessors.
It 'makes for the gayety of a crowd,
this bobbing up and down of hats from Babylon to the French trenches.
There is nothing dull in mlilinery

Here and there one sees a ni v ma-
terial attnched to an old shape. Such is the case when dyed suede is used for an oblong turban, with its surface perforated in an edelweiss design taken from the Swiss Alps and copied from the patterns used in the Madeira islands. Right here you have a _lum- lile of people and nationalities all in one tiny cap tilted over the left eye- brow of a girl., These suede caps are dyed bright pink, horizon blue and pottery red. Their sole ornamenta- iion is the perforation.
Someone has insisted that the re-
vival of perforated designs onall our clothes came through the use of pa- per nnpklns in the war. Good tl\ought,_but hardly true. Whatever the source. thc fashion is here. The milllners may have orlglmlfed it. bill
the dressmnlrers borrowed lt over night, for tue, midsenson frocks of
white brosdclotll and velvet, or beige- colored galmrdlne and black taifetl. are perforated along their edges in set designs.
it is too late to talk of the Alsatlan
bow, for it was obvious that the mil- ilners would revive it; but a certain woman of distinction started n inh- ion for li: that the mliiiners quickly looked upon with envy.
She came to lunch in a restaurant
wearing the genuine Alsatian bow, black and immense, placed across the middle oi' her head, with u mere apol- ogy of ll little cloth cap ln front of lt. lt siood upward and outward, and her hair was coiled high behind lt. This was the rcnl thing, and her daring made her the tnrgct of all eyes. ll may be that the Alsutinn bow ln this lurm will be introduced for the eve- ning. Let-us hope that it will never appear at tlletheater. At the present rate of prices und__ the scarcity of nonts, the addition of a hundred or so Alsatlsn bows in the audience would bo the straw on the camei‘s back.
Charlotte Cordly Cap.
The Charlotte Corday cap, minus
its bow, has been introduced for the South and is taken" up by the North. it ls made of brilliant, dark tulle, al- ways double, but entirely transparent. The best one in in copper tulle, its high crown trimmed at the base with e twist of tulle and one of those rococo -red roses _with gold outer petals and leaves which have been brought into fashion by a well-known designer of individual evening gowns.

As brown rules lu velllng. so it
seems to rule in these tulle hats. lt is _often in the color that the French call “mari'0n,” that chestnut brown whlch~ia lloft and becoming.

I Mm ana some Hair. _ . The Florentine coiffure is no longer a caprice ofthe extremists; it is no longer a sensational hit of brnvado. The war has insisted it as n strong fashion. Women with gray hair wear it hobbed to the nape of the neck or curled under to appear as though it were cut. Girls with eyery shade of hair wear lt. Mairons with half- grown children adopt lt. So the mil- llners, after n frantic wrluglng of the hands,'hsvc decided that ,they must meet this new demand. There must be a large and creative impulse for hats that will go v\'iih this Florentine Icoiifure. The broad. flat hat of Na- lples _line been brought out null is adopted by one young matron whose face ilguresin llulf the periodicals of the day, and her side companion, who also wears the ancient Italian hair _c-ut, adopts the Florentine velvet hat Q with its trimming of two rows of coral I bends.
It must be admitted that the women
themselves _have seen to it that they look well in any type of hat with this v bobbed hair, whether it be turbnn or lint brim. They cannot, of course. wcnr hats of exceeding dignity, hut they try a certain type of distin- guished hat which l.- considered the leading thing by the mllilners; and they carry it off with g. eat skill. This * is the immense black-thread lace hat, transparent. _with its broad Alsatlnn bow wired across the front. This is the hat 'that will supersede, for the spring, the upturned, many pointed, theatrical hat ‘of silk plush and velvet, with its aigrettes. - (Copyright, 1919, by the Mc-Clure Newa-

THE DOG ARMY.
Rendered Gnllnnt Service During the War.
Brltnln's dog army rendered gal-
lant service in the war. Many a sol- dier owes his life to some poor, un- cared-for, stray dog. For nearly two Years dogs were employed by the British as messengers. as sentries and as guards.
Early in 1917 a war dog school of
instruction was established by the British War Odlco. and Lieut.-Col. Richardson, who has devoted his life to training dogs for military and po- lice purposes. was appointed com- mandaat of the school. Gamekeepers, hunt servants and shepherds were called up from the army to assist in the work of instruction.
After a thorough training in Eng-
land the dogs were sent to France, and on the battlefields their skill, courage and tenacity amazed the army. Often wounded in the per- fornlance of their duties, they never faltered while strength remained to carry on. Tile otiicial record of their heroic work tells oi successful mes- sage-carrying through darkness, mist, rain and sheliilrc over the most dlill- cult ground. ln a few lninuies' time dogs have brought messages over ground that would iakc n. soldier runner hours to cross.
During the great' German advance
last spring part oi the llritlsh line in front of a famous French town was cul oif by severe enemy barrage. A messenger dog was released with an urgent appeal for reinforcements. it ran two miles in ten minutes. The result was that u. French colonial division was sent up and prevented n. disaster. The messenger was o. High- land sheep dog.
Another dog with s message ran
nearly four miles in twenty mlnues, and still another in the same time carried back from the front n map of an important captured position, when a man would have taken an hour and n. half to bring it in.
The dogs which lla-ve been found
most successful in war work are collies, sheep dogs, lurchcrs and Airedales, and crosses of these var- ieties, while in n number of cases Welsh and Irish tcrriers have given excellent results.
The work of sentry dogs has been
valuable, especially in the Balkans. One gave warning of an enemy scout 300 yards away. On many occasions dogs have given warning ol' enemy patrols long before the sol- dier sentrics were aware of their presence. `
Large numbers oi" dogs have been
used for guard duty, many on the ltallan front.
Ammunition \Vns Short.
Pie. Thomas Ricketts, lst Bai-
talion Royal Newfoundland Regi- ment, for the most conspicuous brav- ery and devotion to duly on October 14, 1918, during the advance from Ledeghem. When the attack was temporarily held up 'by heavy hostile fire the platoon to which he belonged suffered severe casualties from the fire of a battery nt point-blank range. Ricketts immediately volun- teered io no forward with his section commander and n Lewis gun to out- ilank the battery. Advancing by short rushes undcx' heavy tire from enemy machine guns and n hostilc battery, their ammunition was ex- hausted when they were still 300 yards irom the battery. The enemy. seeing the opportunity of getting their field guns away, began in bring up their gun teams. Ricketts, im- mediately realizing the situation, doubled back a hundred yards undoi- heavy machine gun ilrc. procured fur- ther ammunition, dashed back to thc Lewis gun and by very accurate ilrc drove the enemy and gun teams into a farm. His platoon then advanced without casualties, captured four fleld guns, foul' machine guns and eight prisoners, the ilith fluid gun being subsequently intercepted and captured.
By his presence of mind in antici-
pating ihe onemy’s intention’ and his utter disregard of personal safety, Ricketts secured a further supply of ammunition which directly resulted in these important captures and un- doubtedly saved mnny lives.
Britain Fosters Steel Combine.
Great Britain is planning to en-
large her steel industry by fosterlnu great combinations for manufactur- ing and soiling, according to an ar- ticle by .loseph Horton, n British authority on iron and steel, in the annual edition of illc Iron Trade llc- vlew. Steel manufacturers appointed by the British Board of Trade at thi- instance of the (lovermnent io inves- tigate ailer-tile-wal' needs, arc not only advocating such combinations. but a high protective tarid, the ex- clusion oi imports from tile Central Powers during the period of restora- tion, improved land and ocean trans- portation facilities and other mens- ures necessary to build up their ln- dustry. "Measured by modt-rn` stan- dards oi industrial power the position of Britain is alarming indeed," the manufacturers' committee concludes from the survey of Brituin's situation as compared with recent progress in the United States, Germany and other countries. _

ily the few writers who have lieu-
.ioucd ilicne nchismatics, their origin luis been nncrlbed to thc alteration! made in the church books by"Patri~ in-cli' Nikon in the seventeenth cell- iury; but according to Rusllhn an- nals they were known within lean vilan live centuries after Christianity .-nts-1-cd ltussla. The first Rahkol il said in have been n Jew, named liorlf-, u-lm, ln the reign of lou; \'n:~.-ilovilch l, mixed the observance! of Judaism with the doctrines of Clirisiinnity. Two priests, Denis and Alexie, were the first to embrace his opinions. Alexie changed ills name tu Ahrnlmm, and called his wife Sarah. Ho and Denis were over two churchel in Moscow and lost no opportunity o! .spreading their doctrines. Among ill(-ir converts was Zosimee, metro- politan oi' Moscow. His detection led to a. persecution of the dissenters. who had adopted the name oi Btrig. olniki; but the more"t.he severity of ilre und sword. the more the heresy grew. Karp. n deacon. Joined the scct_ drew away lnore people than Denis, Alcxic and Zosimes had done; and the national church rekindled thc llnmcs of persecution and did not rest uniil the remnant that was left had fied to Poland and Sweden.
The Rnskoiniks divided early in
their history into Popoftskins, who admit priests from the Greek church, and Bezpopoftsklns, who have no priests at ali, or priests of their own ordination. '
Like the national church the Ras-
kols hold to the Nicene creed. But instead of the corrected church hooks, ceremonies, and pictures, they exploit the ancient manuscripts and pictures as the only genuine. The dissenters of the present day have laid aside many of the old absurd and ignorant opinions, and are usually bctter versed in the Scriptures than the orthodox neighbors. They declare that their morals are exemplary, but the authorities do not Kilim! tfl l8l‘9l in this. Their opposition to the church ls held' to be tantamount to' opposition to civil authority; and al- though solne of the most opulent merchants of Petrograd are Raskols. and above reproach, the stigma oblalns.
'l'hc~ great body of Raskois are
l’opoi'r..klns. At the leadare theiwo r~hurt~i1r-as--at Sinradubofsk and Vet- kn, which arc said to comprise morn than 100,000 members. They ha-ve been persecuted and exiled to Siberia. in large nunlbcrs at different tlmel. but in spite of thlstreaiment are prosperous. After _these como the Dinconofiskins, an offshoot of the Vctkn church; the Pereniaznoftskinsg and the Ccrnubolts. These sects will noi take an oath, refuse to shave their benrde, decline to pray for the civil authorities, and declare that the cud ol the \vorld is drawing near.
Tho Bc-zpopoftskins are also divid-
ed into several sects. The Duho- borisi, better known as Dukhobora. stand first. They throw aside all the orthodox rites and ceremonies, and reject baptism and _the Lord‘s supper. They said that their name signihel "wrestlers with the "spirit," and call themselves "Cllristians'_’ and all oth- er people “world men and woman." They declare that they arc' descen- dants of Sliadrach, Meshech and Abodnegu, the Jews who _would not worship the golden_,lma.ge of Nebu- chadnezzar. They are widely scatter- cd in the provinces, and are also found in Germany and Canada. They ncvcr enter an orthodox church or how before thc pictures, protesting that ilu- church is a den of thieves. 'l`hf-y have worship. singing, praying. :ind reading thc Bible, but without priests and external rites. They be- lieve in thc Trinity; and say that re- gi-ni-rnilon and baptism are all the saluc thing. They respect departed s:_inls, but do not pray to them. llcaili is called "thc change." Mar- rie gc is noi a sacrament, but simply an agreement. After the Duhobortsl nrr- the Pomoryans, who say that Antichrist has comc and put an end in the church to nil thai is holy; the 'l‘l\coiloslnus, who say thc church prcnchwi up Antichrist under the uaulo Jesus; the Pllilipoflskins, who orc sivvcre in fasting: the N4-loftskins. who have the Polnoryan idea of Anti- :-lirlsl; the l’as_iushkiks, who declare fasting sinful: -the l§‘ovaJe_{xt.s,_ who my Antichrist is reigning i Russia, lim snmokrcstkln, Mblolians, lkoao- lmrlsi, and several other minor sects.
In the eyes of‘ihe orthodox believ-
ers the Raskols are capotble of all the iwimes in the cal`enda'r;' but while their ldcntincaiion with the Bolshe-
viki is beyond question doubting llw underlying reason ie to be lou in their age-_long grievance against eccieslasiical_ and civil authority, which they consider as one. _
