THE HATIESS GIRL.

"The dean of Chicago University has
pronounced against the'hatless girl. a"
said n woman at the seashOre the other
day. 1T is exceedingly difficult 10 see
lust where the summer maiden veXes
proprety by her pleasant habit of GO
ing hatless on warm evening. or why,
when she carries a parasol or travels
along country lanes or village streets
in a covered phaeton on a summers
day. il is also necessary to burden her
head with n hat. Custom is curious
thing. A woman is urgently besought
to remove her hat in the theatre, and
reviled for not doing so; and she may
go to balls with wisp Of lace over her
coiffure. or sit hatless in her own yard.
But the air Of the street suddenly rem
ders the hatless girl improper. No
women in the world have been so
chained to the hat as those Of Amer
lea. Women of the Southern races
have always been independent of a
head covering when they chose. and
summer heat throughout the United
States. though not as long continued,
is as torrid as i'm countries nearer the
equator. Furthermore no hat is pret-
tier than a pretty head of hair, and
nothing improves the latter more than
sun and air."-Boston Transcript.

The latest word of wisdom regarding

worn out by stiff brushing. The roots,
trying TO make up for this destruction,
are forced into abnormal growth, until
their life force is exhausted. and bald

The great prosperity of some of the

from yellow fever, which formerly OPP
