"sUCH A LOVE OF A BoNyET.-
The Poor Helpless Men VIII inst
stand By and Take Ii All In

Of course, she said. as they stopped into
the store OF a fashionable milliner on F
street, ot course, you can't be expected to
know anything about our bonnets-head-
gear, as your sex calls them-but you see,
am here to show you. and you have the
purse 10 admit of being shown. So pro-
ceed to get your experience for your money.
What Is the main difference between a
lady's hat which sells for $3.50 and one fo.
Si3? You can't see any? Oh, but there is,
In the first place. there is the difference
in the price. and in the second, and the
main difference, there is that indescribabIe
feeling in a woman's heart that she is
wearing hat which cost S45 and she
knows it. Men will never be- able to appre-
crate that feeling; 1t is quite foreign to
their natures
'Turbans are to be all the rage When
this detestable winter Is passed for good
every woman In town will SPORTS that
lt?-a turban Of marvellous twists bewiIder-
ing interlaced chiffon festoons and eve
opening shapes, heights. angles gables and
stories, in which mountains and dales of
twisted trimming will make it as heavy and
as hot the mammoth head wear of a
Hindoo- Fancy! Turbans for summer! Is
1t not agonizingly exasperating and alto
gether enough to make us cry, oh, dearr
And they come so far down over the face
for summer wear. But since the edict of
1ashlon has gone forth We will submit in
good form Al
NO. there are not as many styles of la
dies hats as there are sands on the beach
of time. Well If you never saw two ladies'
mats that were just alike that's the fault
OF your poor vision. I'll admit, however.
that the difference in the STYLES are per-
picking and all but countless However, if
the poor men Will observe as critically as
their clouded intellects will permit. they
Will perceive that general lines ara carried
OUT with corresponding changes of the gen.
eral Idea For instance, this spring the
toque and the turban will have a neck-and-
neck race, but there will be innumera BILE
ways of trimming these two STYLES of hats.
Nevertheless, they will be toques and tur-
bans just the same. The Hindoo makes no
change in the style of his turban. but the
American woman will glory in the different
ways she can get one up.
We are going In, you fellows saw
for flowers, too. The way flowers will be
piled up on the big hats this spring will be
revelation to the masculine gender We
just Iowa flowers, and would carry an entire
green house on our heads If we could.
certainly, a woman must have a spring
hat. Why, the idea! Men don't need spring
hats; they wear their winter hat right IN
to the time when 1t is time to get sum-
mer tile. as you say, do they? That's
where they differ from us. A new spring
bonnet is an indescribable delight to wo-
mans heart. Her life would be incomplete
without it. 1t fills a void that aches until
1t Is filled Her peace of mind is at stake
and he Is wise man who pays the bill and
inquiries not the wherefore This lovely
hot house. so neatly trimmed, exemplifies my
ideas exactlyI won't look any farther
And 1t is only s3Sl Really. 1t was fortunate
you had the price with you. Thanks; no.
l will wear 1t right now. Isn't 1t too sweet !?
You really like it? Well, don't make such
an awful face. Send my old hat up TODAY
! without fail. miss. Come on
