' s.sggr Aba the Window Pane Hats Lady Duff-Gordon Describes Her Interesting New Millinery That Can Be Seen Through Both Looking in and Looking Out LADY DUFF-GORDON, the famous "Lucile" of London, and foremost creator of fashions in the world, writes each week the fashion article for this news-oaper. news-oaper. presenting all that is newest and best in styles for well-dressed women. Lady Duff-Gordon's Paris establisment irings her into close touch with that centre-o? ' !ashion. ' .iiy Lady Duff-Gordon EXACTLY -where the inspiration came from for the two accompanying accom-panying pictures I cannot say. Possibly the eyes of the charming wearer needed the lines in this direction. direc-tion. Possibly it was the religious feeling inspired by the priestlike cope that called for a halo. Then again possibly the design in the brocade led to the Chinese effect of the hat and tassel at the side. Anyway, whatever it was, it has given birth to something entirely new in the way of hats.i Hats have been small and large, tilted at tie back and up at the front; with right side up and left side down; left side up and right side down, but I do not know that ever before in the history of fashion have they been worn so as to completely cover the front ol the face, and still be becoming nay, more than that, enchanting, as this one proves to be. And I feel sure that before long there will be many varied forms of this new haio or stained-glass window hat. I say -window hat'' purposely, for another hat on these lines which I have in my collection is made of straw, and is therefore opaque, but the section that comes immediately in front of the face is a real window of tuKe which allows one to sea out, and, what i3 more important, allows others to see in. I think one of the real reasons why a woman is more successful as a fashion creator is that she is all the time sensitive of what is most attractive to men, and is better able to cater to those little tricks of suggestion sug-gestion in color, line and shade. AH the way down in history the veil has played in a thousand different forms the most important part. From the Egyptians to the Turks, the Chinere to the French, all alike knew'' the value of suggestion and the half-veiling of one's charms, and to this purpose is this halo hat of mine, with eyes and face framed in a halo of blue tulle that has an embroidered em-broidered design on the rest of the bat. with the exception of the section sec-tion Immediately over the face. This halo is scalloped all around the edge and finished with silver, while on the crown of the head and along either side are tassels of Chinese design in curious cerise pinks, and trimmed with little plaque3 of Jade. 'With this marvelous hat is a cope of green, purple and gold in the famous Chinese willow pattern design. de-sign. This cloth Is as stiff as a board, which gives It the extraordinary extraordi-nary "standout:" look of the ritual copes worn in Russian and Eastern churches. The cuffs and collar are bordered with violet colored velvet, while it Is fastened on the front with enormous buttons and loops of gold. No'e on the wearer's fin;;crs the solitaire soli-taire ecclesiastical ring of a single cahoohori ernerujd. The white sailor hat Is also a tire.it favoriie, and it tun either be trimmed with great velvet or gauze peta.ied blowiwi, or else with noftly shaded o-trlch feathers.

It is mostly of blue tulle. Ishlng off the ribbon handle. So much for this very new hat. And now for some Summer dresses. The changes are rung often, too, and always successfully, on the color scheme of white, black and green, which especially, of course, when the white predominates Is so refreshingly cool-looking on a hot day. One such gown Is In white taffetas taf-fetas and lace, with pipings of leaf green to finish off the silken braces, which cross the semi-transparency of lace and chiffon on the corsage, and again to outline all the quaintly Irregular points of the short silken tunic which outstands over a longer and more closely clinging drapery of black lace, the plnin underskirt being of the white tarfetas and sundry sun-dry silken tasselled ornaments, bringing the green again, and more prominently, into the scheme. Another An-other and very dainty dress of ,WMte lace, with triple frllllngs of kilted net to edge the long tunic, whose fulness is gauged about the hips, is sashed at the waist with lettuce green taffetas and filmy black tulle, both fabrics being used to form the long-ended bow at the back. Or It Is also possible, and fashionable, fashion-able, to reverse the more usual arrangement ar-rangement and to have long sleeves and a scanty underskirt of luce (underlined, (un-derlined, of course, with chiffon), and a corsage and tunic, of ohnrmeuse. I saw one such model arranged with an extraordinarily decollete effect In front, a sash of the same tlllent tinted rharnicuse, knotted loosely at the waist, over two very short and very full basque frills, whiie then the long and flatly pleated and closely hanging tunic only allowed a very brief view of the la'e underskirt, to which, by the way, a three Inch hem of the yellow-green clmrmeuso was an addition of practical, as well as decorative, value, ina'inuch as die catching or a shoe heel In the filmy luce would be (inch a likely, anil disastrous, dis-astrous, happening. Of quite a different type Is the gown of gabardine, that almost ideal fa brie which wears us well an It looks, and which, therefore, as have already MiggeMcd, is qnllc the rniiot dangerous rival which blue serge has ever yet. encounter-."!.

Ho that, with all this and much more variety of stylo and material from which to make a choice, it really should be possible pos-sible for every woman to look her best at Ascot, In a gown which is most suitable as well as most fashionable. Of course, om may be Imagined, the vogue for lace as a trimming, nnd a fabric fur dresses, Is resulting In the; appearance of any number of lace f hats and sunshades. Most of time V bat.s have tho wider pallor brim, which Is already and metaphorically pulling tho brlmlcsH hats Into the shade, by literally canting the shade, which Is so Infinitely becoming, on the face of their weareni.

The poisoning is very varied In its effects, sometimes causing acute and even fatal attacks, and In other cases producing a slow, chronic illness ill-ness which Is likely to bo marked by bad temper, llstlessness, disinclination disinclina-tion to work nnd to rlso early. The first symptoms are violent headaches, vertigo, constriction of the temples, ringing of the ears, hallucinations, hal-lucinations, shivering and an lrre-slstiblo lrre-slstiblo desire to Bleep. Even when tho victims of acute cases recover, It Is said that they suffer for many ' weeks from physical and mental torpor tor-por nnd at times also from mental troubles, paralysis, trembling and pains in the head. Different people show very differ- . ent degrees of resistance to the poison, so that when a number of them are equally exposed some may be dangerously attacked and others not at all. The absorptlou of small quantities of gas during a long period ls llkoly o cause chronic poisoning. These chronic symptoms Include vertigo Similar to that caused by alcoholic poisoning, paralysis which often attacks at-tacks tho muscles of tho eye, and convulsive movements. Other nervous troubles are pains In tho head, especially In tho forehead; fore-head; neuralgias, swellings, loss oT sensation In spots and other disorders, disor-ders, Mental uctlvllv, memory and sleep ,.ro seriously disturbed and there may oven be loss of will power.

The treatment treat-ment should be symptomatic above all, and its most Important feature consists in removing the Bubject from the action of the poison. "Carbon monoxide is the more dangerous since it cannot be detected detect-ed by taste or odor. It is dangerous even when the atmosphere contains an extremely small proportion of it, but in order to be fatal to men, dogs or cats, it must be present in a minimum min-imum quantity of Vz to 1 per cent. It acts, at least in acute intoxications, by asphyxiation. It fixes upon the hemoglobin of the blood and forms with it a stable combination, thus causing the hemoglobin to become incapable in-capable of currying the oxygc-n needed. It is not probable, however, how-ever, that the red corpuscle ls destroyed. de-stroyed. The nerve-centres react against this intoxication bs lowering the temperature and diminishing the oxidations. But thi3 reaction becomes be-comes insufficient If the cause of the poisoning is too prolonged or too violent." A curious feature of the poisoning is that its victims stand a better chance of recovery if they remain motionless and extended than if they are made to walk and move about. The treatment consists In the use of oxygen as abundantly as possible. It should be used in inhalations and also in Bubcutaneoas injections, which are both more efficacious and easier to administer. The transfusion transfu-sion of blood Is useful in such cases, and use should be made likewise of the ordinary manipulations incases of asphyxiation. In order to detect the gas when its presence is feared, people are advised ad-vised to keep a bird or some other small animal la a cage, as these are peculiarly susceptible to the poison. Thus the common canary may have a usefulness not hltherro suspected. Ammoniacal silver nitrate turns brown under the influence of this gas. The poison produces its harmful effects through the combination of the carbon monoxide with the hemoglobin hemo-globin of the blood, but also its toxic action on the tissues with which It Is brought In contact by the blood Corpuscles. Carbon monoxide Is most commonly common-ly generated In the heating appal ntus, which allows small quantities of gas to escape during a long period of Winter. Badly managed hot-air furnaces fur-naces and fissures in the rlpes of chimneys may come in this category, as well as slow conibustlou apps atus. which is the most dangerous of all. This furnace causes many cases of poisoning In tho household, but It Is also met with among chauffeurs nnd engine drivers, miners, laundresses, laun-dresses, employes of gas works and laborers who commonly breathe sir vitiated by the leaking or tho intensive inten-sive employment of illuminating gas. Carbon monoxide ls not only produced pro-duced by combustion, but It is found in Illuminating gas, especially If this Is made from water. It is contained In largo quantities In the "coal gas" which is given off from furnaces, although al-though 11 does not give the charadel 1st Ic odor to this gnu. It. is generated In large quantities In the common household furnace when the dumpers are closed to shut off the beet, llonoo It Is most important im-portant that the hotv.lr pipes should fit properly and be tree from holes communicating with the fire space.
