They Wear Big Hats.

At Amman, an empire occupying the
eastern portion of the Indo-C Chinese
Peninsula, with population Of $4,000.
600. men and women wear their hair
in the same way and dress almost alike.
says the St. Louis Globe-Denocrat.
Like the man the woman wears a tur-
ban, a long tunic. wide, loose trousers,
and bright sash, the ends falling be-
low the knees. The physiognomy is
lmost the same. as the men are beard
4ess and have their hair done up like
the women. The only clew to dis
tinguish them is the earrings and finger
rings. worn by women only. The
earrings are like double shirt studs, and
among the lower orders are CT colored
glass. The wives and daughters of
mandarins alone are allowed to wear
gold jewelry. The rings are of spiral
wire, fitting tight and standing out to
some height. Some women Of the up
per class wear also necklaces of strings
Of gold or silver beads.
The hat of the woman is monu-
mental. 1t is like large barrel cover.
three-quarters of yard in diameter.
Six or seven silk cords as thick as a
quill are fastened on each side, and
when worn fall down below the waist.
Where the ends are fastened to the hat
on each side is a huge black or brown
silk tassel. Some of these hats are ar
tistically made of carefully selected
palm leaves and lined with neatly
plated flag leaves. These are expen.
sive, especially when they have chiseled
silver clasps at the tassels. Many
women fasten a little round mirror in
the hat, before which they arrange
their turban when they go to town.
The hat is the article most priced by
the stylish ladies. and often costs $l(
or 415

how suddenly all the glow is gone!
It looks black and GOLD enough now.
Just 80 with your passionate incandes-

and scintillates in your emotional CEN

it into the rhyme-trough it cools down,
and becomes as dead and dull as the
