REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.1
The virtue of most people is estab-
lished on lack of opportunity.
Politics is worse than bankruptcy, be-
cause it is that and a lot more besides.
Most any man can marry any girl
who has made up her mind to make
him ask her.
What the new school IN Bible history
means is that there was no Eve until
there were clothes.
It takes a woman to pick out the

how much he loves her.

the nnburned portion of the Windsor
Hotel, at the Boardwalk and Illinois

being left to identity any one of the

fire. The shell Of tine Academy of

notable, as tne theatre was the only
brick building in the burned area.
While great SYM athy is generally

good results, as it has opened the way
to improvements which, il is conceded,
are necessity.

The new hats remain. in nine cases
out of ten, low and fiat both as to
shape and style of trimming, showing
every decided tendency to fall low
over the hair in the back, and to droop
well over the edges of the hrim at ali
times. This fashion is decidedly a
pretty one, especially in summer hats,
as laces and flowers can be used most
effectively in this manner Many of
the larger hats show uneven brims, the
edges being bound with silk and wired
into dropping, and downward or sharply
upward curves, becoming to any face.
