Professional humorists want to sit
UP and take notice that in their Jokes
on fine millinery and bills therefor the
French milliner should no longer fig
ure. OF course, says Clara Belle in a
New York letter in the Cincinnati En-
quirer, there are Paris hats and mil
liners galore who disguise their patro-
nymics under French names for their
business signs. But the dearest of all
places to purchase millinery are the
swell mems hatters. Their tailor-made
headwear is costly enough, but their
fancy hats really deserve a squib
Messrs Jokers, for they simply stun all
price at all. Then the wiles of the
statesmen! The real Frerch purr Of
Madame is not in it for effective in
situation and Turing on with these
dapper and obliging chaps. Their fiat
terry women know is purely for bust
ness reasons, yet being men, said fiat
terry is more or less resistless. Won
der what these men are paid. Not
much, probably, yet such effective art
can't be common. Let me illustrate by
the visit of an acquaintance to a
swagger hatter's in Broadway.
Il want a black hat to wear with
this dress. MIR. S, to put on now" she
said, glancing at the rain-wet street
where her dripping hanson waited. 1T
must be big-head size, no feathers and
set well down." she added.
He gave her a Napoleon smile and
said: Yes, Mrs. Scarburn. 1 know ex-
actly. How would" He twirled a
felt rough rider on his finger.
mo. l have three, as you know
and"
But this years style"
1.-The one bought this year for the
mountains will have to do You said
styles in rough riders would not
change, anyhow" The salesman
shrugged the least little, and with a
black fat hat daintily caught by a
palm set at either side he approached.
You needn't put it on, you know
that's not fit for rain"
"Ah, Quite so. Here is the hat for
you eXactly! 1t was already adjust
ed dull oak color felt, that set deep
on the brow and close to her low hair
at the back. A sweep of cocks feather
in gray and brown was at the uplift-
ed side. She whispered that it wasn't
big enough. IN make the head size
a half inch larger" said he firmly. 1T
is just the hat for you"
az know those feathers will blow
back and come out" she protested.
Doubtless we will need to renew
the feathers later in the season." he
said. 1T is the hat for you, Mrs.
Scarburn."
Wont you show me something else?
II thought 1 wanted black-now don't
show me velvet! That? 1t looks like
butter plate on me! And that is aw-
full? Mr.. s. you know l never wear
red. What do l care about what they
are wearing? Oh. dear! those things
that rear off my forehead are always
unbecoming. Your hats are horrid this
year. That is so heavy 1t makes my
/ head ache at once! Try that first one
| on again-um!-I think 1 like it. Mr..
S. 1t is comfortable" She blinked
at the oak color simplicity. do you

"This is the only hat of the shape.
We do not duplicate these, you know"
| Mr.. Simm's hand just rested in an in
stant's approval on the sweep of that
! side fall of cocks feathers.
How much is it?" asked Mrs. Scar
burn, hoping it would be too expen-
sive
Ten dollars, Mrs Scarburn." said
the salesman as one who intended not
unduly to triumph over her.
| "Well-I'll take tiff" desperately
If you'll have the head size stretch
| ed some al once so l can put it right
on"
"At once, Mrs. Scarburn." And while
the oak simplicity hat waited on the
| shelf in the sewing room" till it was
time to bring it back, Mrs. Scarburn
sat smiling as only the contented wo-
man can.
From Beavers, of course" she said
! when she met Felice. Il went every
where. but, as usual, couldn't find what
1 was looking for till l got to Beav-
er's, and there it was, just what 1 had
| in mind all the time"
Shouldn't that salesman get a big
salary?
A bright London girl has devised a
! novel method of making good living
I and has scored a decided success in it
| despite the fact that she has entered
! a hitherto untried field of effort. She
| finds that she can earn good deal
| of money by selling plots and titles
fer stories and plays to un III siaas 1--WE
| authors and playwrights. She is COM
J ing to New York to establish a branch
| of the business on this side of the At
lantic and will display her plan Of
work at the forthcoming women S ex-
hibition in Madison Square garden as
a preliminary to what she hopes to do

In London she has little store in
| New oxford street and numbers among
her customers many people who con-
| tribute regularly to magazines and
newspaper, though, of course, the ma

| bilious scrawlers whose manuscripts
are never published. This woman gets
| from IS to 500 for the synopsis of a
story, the price depending on length
| and strength, and she sells titles at
| $3.50 apiece.
