man who wrote it. 1t was letter in am

gagement of young man and sent to the
girl to whom he had previously been en-
gagged. For some reason she was not ex-
actly pleased at this attention on his parr
and this is the letter she sent to him. It
read:
Dear Sir-I have received the letter
containing the announcement of your en-
gagement to Miss Blank. As ! do not
know her l cannot congratulate you. and

The smartest of the directoire shapes.
says the Millinery Trade Review, have the
brim cut through as far as the crown
in two places, so as to form a sort of TAB
at the back. The corners of the brim are
generally allowed TO lie fat against the
han at the Sides whereas the tab, prop
erly wired, may be lifted like a sunblind
over a window. Underneath it may be
placed a cluster of flowers, or a bow:
as these shapes are mostly worn with
strings-a popularity only extended to
them and to some capoteS-the ribbon COM
posing the bow may be borrowed from the
center of the length of ribbons used for
tying under the chin Directories are all
ways IN thin, smooth piled felt and when
covered with velvet the material is cut
exactly to form and stretched over it as
smoothly as possible. The lining of the
brim is usually In velvet also; neverthe-
less, there is no reason why satin, or even
SILK, should not be used as well as for
lining hats of other shapes. Various modes
of trimming are adopted, but the drapery
of silk or satin about the crown and the
plume of ostrich feathers seem most appli-
cable for the outside ornamentation. More
variety exists in the nature of the trim
ming placed under the. front of the brim;
frequently this is merely caught back bv
a loop of the material used for the drap-
cry, the crown Of the hat resting on veil
vet bandeau which should match the
strings, and, therefore, is more often than
not of black velvet ribbon. The bandeau
is plated flat or twisted and finished with
a small bow on the left side, or is merely
foundation for a handsome band of OPEN
work metal set with simni mostly pro.

cases, however, the whole under side Of

satin and velvet roses on one side. and
folds of material or large rosette on the
other.
