CLUB WOMEN'S WAR.

The national federation Of women's

adopted without the ladies realizing tho
purport Of II, The matter can be OF but
little Importance to the estimable ladies
who are members Of the Church. for tho
resolution In no way curtals their use

being practically unlimited But It GER

opposition TO the Church. That opposl
ton ashamed Of appearing before the

OF religious, persecution, has been mas
querading as zeal for moral purity Just
az, IN the beginning OF our era, the cry
OF cruelty Hint was said to be
prompted by loyalty to Caesar. But once
in a while the masque Is lifted. and
the true features are seen, It Is the
Church itself that is Objectionable, In
the opinion Of these good American
women. No doubt a few OF them regret
that they can go no further than TO ex-
clude Church members from the clubs.
No doubt they regret that burning at the
stake is Illegal. The spirit OF persecu-
ton Is the same, no matter In what way
It manifests itself, Many OF Them how

doing humanity a service by taking an
active part in the warfare against

KING EDWARDS SILK HAT.
Of an Exclusive Design to Be Seen on
None but the Royal Head.


Before leaving England the king
gave an order for about score of
different kinds of hats and caps, to
be prepared for His Majesty's use
during the forthcoming season.
silks" preponderated, although al
most every variety of head covering
was comprehended in the order. from
soft iron gray colored Austrian"
to a motor cap with fiat, spherical
crown provided with a ventilating ar
rangement which, if not actually de-
signed by His Majesty, was evolved
under his personal direction.
The style of silk hat chosen this
year by the king will be seen on none
but the royal head The hat will have
a broader brim with we'll accentuat-
ed curl, deeper crown and little
more bell than the hats which even
His Majesty's best dressed subjects
will wear. The king is the possessor
of what is known to hatters as "a
good head" Those whom nature has
not favored in this important partic-
ular may be interested to learn that
His Majesty takes 1-S.
Even if it were possible for an
ordinary citizen to obtain the kings
shape of silk hat" remarked an ex-
royal valet, "the probability is that he
could not wear it. Not one man in
10000 could wear it satisfactorily, for
it is built on special lines with care
full regard of shoulders, the configura-
ton of the face and appearance gen.
orally. Moreover, its shape gives the
idea that the hat is unusually large
and yet when on the kings head there
is no smarter or more perfect fitting
headgear
THE king is very particular-al
most exacting if / may say so-in tle
matter of hats This applies to bowl
ers as we'll as to the more ceremoni'
Gus silks.
