fsnness of society is delusion and a

snare.
There is no denying it. The big hat is
picturesque, and what is more, becoming,
and when the bud or the belle or the
matron slipped out her hatpins and put
her hat in her lap she did noble thing.
There are many sides to the moot hat
question. First of all it is case of hat or
no hat. Then there is the interesting SUBJ
ject of "dressing-room," and last but not
least the all-important factor, the fitness
of things.
As it is to society that suffering man
kind will owe the inestimable favor of the
banishment of the millinery tower from
the theater, so it is to society all must
look for the ultimate decision of the all
absorbing question.
With this end in view ten of our most
prominent society bellies and matrons were
interviewed, and their lack OF hesitancy
in dealing with the intricacies of the
vexed question clearly showed that they
had given the subject much deep thought.

Slight Improvement in Yesterday o
Bags-No Trouble as Yet With
Preserve Lessees.

Preserve Lessees.
Quite number of local sportsmen re-
turned last night from the Suisun, So
noma and San Pablo marshes.
The increased wind yesterday has ap-
parentIy resulted in somewhat improved
bags, as many as thirty quail having
fallen TO one exceptionally fortunate Nm
rod. Several report average bags of fifteen
birds each, while others again have been
less successful.
The entire district between Tiburon and
San Rafael is said to be fairly overrun by
quail and duck shooters, who are largely
availing themselves of the facilities which
the San Francisco ana North Pacific Coast
Railroad has placed at their disposal. So
far, at any rate, the hunters have lad no
trouble with the lessees of preserve lanos
in the vicinity of Suisun, but of course
there is no telling what the morrow may
bring forth in this respect.

PEOPLES BANK PROTEST.
Exception Taken by the Trust Com
pany Behalf of Depositors to-
Directors Acts

Directors Acts.
The California Safe Deposit and Trust
Company stated through its attorneys,
Gunnison, Booth & Bartnett, yesterday,
that it would formally protest before the
Bank Commissioners and the board of di-
rectors of the Peoples Home Bank against
the boards action toward Sherman, q large
debtor of the wrecked bank.
This protest is to be made on the belief
that the Sherman incident was improper
and not in the interests of the Peoples
Bank; and also on the ground that the di-
rectors have no right TO rele ase one debtor
no more than another.
The resignation of r. d. Fry from the
board was explained as move taken after
due deliberation and because at the last
election Mr.. Stevens, a director, controlled
a majority of the board.
For this reason Mr.. Fry resigned, be-
Heving that the trust company could pur-
sue its work regarding the Peoples Bank
more efficiently and with better results
when not represented on the board of
directors.
A circular letter has been issued to de-
positors Of the insolvent institution by the
trust company. 1t is in the nature of a
report of what has been done for deposit
tors who assigned their books for collec-
ton, and is a consoling document for the
unfortunate ones to ponder over.
