LA Half Hour With Robert Loven1an>,~
 YANNTEKEN WALKE

My meeting with Robert Loveman the past week was purely accidental, but 1t was one of those meetings that one never forgets.
 Zangwill stedman. Howelis Clinton Scollard and score of o--ers have placed MT. Loveman amopg the best of the younger generation of poets and who is 1t that has not read his verses, those exquisite gems that reached us like the fragments oI melody through the pages of Harpers. the Atlantic Monthly, the Critic and kindred publications.
 MT. Loveman has given us the entire song in his little volumes of verse, the third to be issued among the spring pub lications, and his secure place in the lit erary world makes this announcement of notable interest
 While MT. Loveman's home is in Dal- ton, Ga, Alabama feels a personal in- terest in him and his work. He lived in Tuscaloosa for several years where he graduated from the law school of the University Since then he has made his home in Dalton, Ga. MT. Loveman has traveled extensively abroad and his win ters are passed in New York where he and Will N. Harken, the well-known Southern writer occupy charming apart ments, and over which Mrs. Harkens. a beautiful woman, came to preside few years ago.
 The Harkens and MT. Loveman went abroad together just year after MT. Harken's marriage The warmest friend ship exists between these gifted writers Passing their winters together in New York, they came SouIn for the summer md spent the summer days in Dalton where the Harkens live.
 Mir. Harken is a nember of the Au- thor's Club, and both he and MT. Love- man are very prominent and popular in the literary set, and greatly sought after.
 MT. 1oveman's verses began attracting attention several years ago, and for years he has been a regular contributor to Harper's Magazine, the Critic, Cosmopoli- tan. Lippincott's. the Atlantic and other high class publications. These poems have been reprinted in delightful vol tunes, which have received the highest praise. MT. Lovemans style has been compared with that of Tennyson, All drich and Landor. His work Is said to be akin to the romance literature and his quartrains are pronounced polished gems, glorious in the simplest settings just as truly as those of MT. Aldrich are

worn by Lincoln, the ivory cream -colored high hat worn by Horace Greeley and the fur cap of Elbridge Gerry? What a change has taken place in the making of a mans hat! Picture in the minds eve the hat worn by the Emperor Charles VII. as he entered Rowen in triumph, in l449. He had on hat lined with red velvet" says the historian mounted with plume or tuft of feathers" and, continues the same writer, under his reign the use of hats and caps is to be dated. which henceforth began to take the place of chaperons and hoods" Then again picture the revolution in headgear that took place when Cromwell became Lord Protector. He stamped out the plumes and feathers of the hats worn by the Cavaliers and the nideous high crowned hat of unblocked felt became the prevailing fashion. Then the restora- tor and Charles II. issued a solemn proclamation as to the shape of the hat, and the steeple crown went out.
 The silk hat came in in 1922, and the derby still later; in fact, largely through the Prince Consort. At that time the true derby shape was modified by a slight nattening at top of crown. Slowly, cen tury by century, fashions in hats have changed. Why do fashions change? Is 1t whim and caprice? Is it all due to the artfulness and subtle suggestion of hat merchants? Without doubt the evolu- tion has been from the picturesque and cumbersome to the unpretentious easy and comfortable. This suggests to my mind that changes are due to the in- fiuence of utility. Our age is practical and men no longer aim to be picturesque. In dress they desire elegance, yet sim plicity combined with utility and com fort.
 The American people make and wear the very best hats in the world. Our ir,- ventive faculty is very fertile and com petition between makers is very keen.

HINTS TO OBSERVE WHENVISITING THE SICK

Everybody who has passed through a long or wearisome illness knows what positive torture 1t is to see the door open silently and a figure creep in on tiptoe The nerves of the sick are very acute. Even the mere turning of the door han dle with rattle is enough to upset them. and that means agony to the patient.
 All of that the person in perfect health Is very apt to forget. When visiting the sick walk In quietly, but without any undue and ostentatious silence. Go straight up to the bed and speak in an everyday tone, and, without asking any tiresome questions, commence speaking of matters which you know will interest but not irritate, the patient.

 King Edwards son. the Duke of York. the future King of England, recently passed through Canada. Millions of citf zens have forgotten 1t and those who mo- ticed his transit through the Dominion wondered that he thought 80 little of the States that he did not visit Washington. Had he visited the President he would have become the guest of the nation. The visit of his father. the Prince of Wales although he travelled incog, was never theless attended by public manifesto lions, which. even after the lapse of years. are pleasantly remembered. The reception to the son would have ecIipsed that extended to the father. This signal failure of British diplomacy eyidentlt did not escape the Kaiser, who has great ly profited by this oversight.

SONG. From Harper's Magazine. The Dawn Is a wild, fair woman, With sunrise in her hair; Look where she stands, with pleading hands, To lure me there. The Dusk is dark and glorious. A star upon her brow; With sunset blushes in her cneeks, She beckons now. I, ever ficl1le stand between, Upon my lips a rune, And in my summer-singing soul The holden happy Noon.

Panama straw hats are highly
fashionable in Japan, though on ac-
count OF the price. which is much
higher than that Of the ordinary
straw hats. they are bought only by
the rich or the fashionable. This
obstacle may be removed IL, as re-
ported in an Osaka paper, the sub
stitutes for the Panama straw found
in middle Formosa are really adapt
ed for the purpose. The substitutes
are said TO be the fibers OF the
leaves of certain tropical tree of
very rapid growth. Six fibers can
be obtained from each leaf, which is
about four inches wide and four feet
long, and it is said that the cost of
10000 fhers is about six yen. A GER
tain foreign firm ~ Yokohama is
said to have already given large
order for the fibers, and the Panama

may therefore appear on the mar
ket this summer. II the new fbers

causing belching, and bilious attacks,
followed by sick-headache, and gem

The Christian life may be viewed In
many aspects, types of Christian char.
acter are various. OF every truly
Christian career, however, it may Just
ly be said that il is victorious life.
The Christian is logically victor. For
the word Christian denotes one called
after the name Of, and related to, the
Christ, or as we might say, a Christ
man. And Jesus Christ is the great
conqueror of the human heart, the
powers OF darkness and the historic
world process. Faith, which unites
the soul of man vitality and dynamical-
ly with this victor Christ, is the over
coming principle of history. The
truly victorious life is triumphant in
the moral sphere. OF mere physical
prowess, OF mechanical mastery over
the forces OF nature, of military dom
ination, of political ascendancy, the
Bible makes but little. In its view
the greatest man is not he who takes
city, but the man who wins his own
soul by mastering 1t. Victory is first
within, thence working outward. The
victor spirit resists temptation, curbs
appetite, abhors that which is evil.
cleayes to that which is good, delivers
its fellows from satanic bondage,
builds up the kingdom OF God.-N.
