OF the old time sailor in shape. Three

ribbon ran around the tiny crown to

finishing touch to the little turned mn

about an inch and half In width
reached Just to the waist line, and a
loose bunch OF violets nestled against the

Another more dressy affair was In

was entirely Of white passementerie,
richly decorated with gold thread. The
brim was Of fine white chip fiaring and
plated into most becoming folds. Over
this was q white lace netting embroid-
cred in gold. Wide white satin ribbon
with . broad gilt edge was made into

Two years ago Vice President
Stevenson proved conclusively that
he had been q loyal citizen OF the re-
public to the sufficient satisfaction
of the people that they elected him
vice president. Therefore, to rehash
a the Union does, in its accustomed
rattlc-brained way of doing things,
campaign stuff now that was shown
to be groundless then, is as much OF
reflection on the good sense and
patriotism of the American people as
is the intention TO cast insinuation
on the vice president himself.
