of the summer season. The negligee,
except that the brim Is more bowl

copy In straw of the tan colored felt
campaign hats worn by Uncle SAM s
boys during the late war. This hat Is
much affected by the younger set, pos
sibly because it gives its wearer a
rakish look, a deyil-may-care and
swagger air. Possibly the fact that it
is designed peculiarly for long wear
and hard usage may have something to
do with its popularity.
The split straw with the narrow
brim and high crown, which has been
spoken Of before, and the Sennit yacht
with the fancy braid as well as the
Sennit yacht with the wide brim,

The New Styles That Are
Designed for Young. Old

IN HIS is the season when, in the
matter OF headgear at least, the
women do not have a monopoly
on the fashions costly and orna-
mental. All the newest crea-
lions In fancy straw and similar fab
rlcs are not being designed for the
1alr sex alone, as a glance in a shop
window devoted exclusively to mascu-
line attire viii amply demonstrate
Whether IL is due to the growing
vanity Of the hitherto Indifferent
sterner sex or TO the keener competi-
ton among the manufacturers to pro-
ouce greater novelties and wider varie-
~ In summer hats is a question that
perhaps does not matter very much.
The main fact is that there never were
SO many different styles Of fashionable
hats TO choose from for hot weather
There are straw hats for the young
man, straw hats for the middle-aged
man, straw hats for the old man and
straw hats for the boy. Each age has

all her love letters and little love
tokens tied neatly up and ready to re-
turn, sat looking with a feeling Of
strange desolation at the frame which
had held the picture of Bertram Hale.
She wondered as the glorious spring
day wore away how it would seem to
go on and on without him through all
the days to come. She was right to
break with him. He had been wrong to
show Mabel Harvey s. much attention.
even If she was his cousin, and here on
a visit. He had almost forgotten one
of the dances she had promised him.
because he had been showing Mabel the

approval whenever she donned a new

CHANGED on some beautiful thought or
story.
Yes. It would be all very strange
and sad, but doubtless she would be-
come used to the separation. Only
A quick shrek startled her. 1t came
from below stairs. 1t was such a choked
cry of horror as she fancied might be
uttered by one suddenly assailed-
stabbed!
She sprang up. ran to the door and
down the stairs.
The front door stood ajar Ruth could
see the gray-clad form Of the postman
crossing the street from their house.
Lena, CHASTITY white. an open letter in
her rough hand. was leaning against
the banister. She had received some
terrible shock.
"Lenal" cried the girl. TELL me what
is wrongl"
Mutely the peasant woman held out
the letter.
'I cannot read it." Ruth cried. "It
is in your language. Tell me! You
have had bad news?"

painted. Her stricken face was up
lifted. It's pathetic hopelesspess--its
bitter abandonment, went straight to
the heart of the girl beside her.

pitiful wall. He is dead and he can
nefer come any more at all-not efer

Then there was no sound save her
broken, desolate sobbing. Ruth Sell
don put both arms around the broad
shoulders. She kissed the wet cheeks
and smoothed the coarse. yellow hair.
Poor LenaI she whispered. Poor
Lena! Come and lie down. No, never

She shut the door and drew the
maid away, up.to her own room.

When she had quieted the suffering
creature, Ruth left her and went back
to her desk She looked at the pack
age, at the frame from which the pic
ture was absent. 1t seemed as though
this news that had been sent from over
the sea had come directly to her. What
if the message had been Of Bertram2
Would she be angry now, resentful?
Bit by bit she went over their little
dissensiOns. Was it worth heart
ache, when ali was said? Could she
ever love any other as she loved him?
Her heart gave prompt reply.
Mechanically, she united the pack
age, and replaced the picture in the
frame-the letters In the drawer, the
other treasures each in It's accustomed
place. Then she opened the tiny box
and took out a ring that sparkled like
a star Of promise, and slipped it on her
finger.

shining eyes and rose-red cheeks, went

and have created much amusement
when suddenly squashed fiat, and no
end Of a sensation when sprung into
perfect shape again. And they are
among the jauntiest of the new mod
els.
Even the Panama has undergone
much revision in shape and style, and
II is now to be seen in much greater
variety. For instance, there is still the
Fedora of former, years, but the crown
is a little higher and the brim is not
so wide. Next there is the Panama
optimo, to give il its professional
name, which means a hat with fiat
top, with or without the ridge along
the top like the m0dish crease down
a new pair of fashionable trousers.
This is designed more particularly for
middle aged men, though it is much
worn by the younger set. Tor it is very
becoming to a strong. rugged face.
In contrast TO both OF these are the
negligee Panama and the pointed Pan

Ruth Seldom looked up from her
desk.
"Come!" she called.

gowned in trim blue and white, her
girth Of body encircled by the strings
Of snowy apron and a bit Of a cap
adjusted stiffiy on her sandy hair, ad-
vanced, parcel in hand.
Mr.. Hale" she I'd coaxingiy.
''he says will you come down to see
him just one little minute"
Ruth Seldom was not beauty, al
though Bertram Hale would have dis
puted this assertion. But she was
mighty attractive looking girl The
kimona of silvery silk which she
wore, with its shell-pink lining, and
loosely-knotted, gold-fringed girdle,
was just the thing to bring out the
fresh tints Of her skin and the clear
iuster Of her blue, black-lashed eyes.

Lena knew well what that package
would contain. For on the desk were
letters-many letters. On the shelf
over the desk a photograph frame
still stood, but the handsome face that
used to smile forth from il SO sun
nily was there no longer. A tiny
leather box topped the letters. Lena
could not be positive what the box
contained, but she did notice that no
ring with one white. flaming stone
sparkled as formerly on the hand of
her young mistress.
He does look that sad, Missl"
Lena remarked, lingering. II think
maybe he is sick" she insinuated.
Ruth flushed and her lips parted
irresolutely. The next instant she
turned back to her desk.

the roughness OF the material, while
the last named Is a hat Of very striking
appearance, both as to the shape Of
the hat itself and the cut and weave
of the straw, which lis very rough and
open.
AS model hats for dress-up occa-
sions any of these three would not
only be appropriate, but exceptionally
becoming to clean-cut features. In
deed, the wearer of one Of these hats
becomes at once the ideal summer
man.
As an extreme contrast TO any OF
the above mentioned hats are the new
creations of Mexican palm rope.
which, while they have the finish OF
the Sennit yacht hats, combine the
hnenesS Of weave and the pliancy OF
the Panama. AS before mentioned the
Mexican palm telescope is one OF the
most fashionable hats OF the year.

more particularly for the man of mid
die age, there are the Mexican palm

The Milan straw optimo and the

both designed particularly for middle
aged men, but the straw itself as well
as the weave is OF q vastly different
quality from any Of those mentioned
above.
However, in the matter OF hats OF
a finer quality. there are some others
of imported Italian braid and fancy
straw that are distinct novelties, and
which promise to become almost as
popular as either the Panama or the
Mexican palm as soon as they become
better known.
One of these is the italian braid
Pantourist fedora, which, though il is
a long name, is a very expressive title
for a very picturesque hat, almost as
picturesque though little less pliable
than the Panama itself. 1t is particu-
larly becoming TO young men, and
when made into the Optino shape Is
very genteel indeed for middle-aged
men. Many of the younger set. how
ever, have appropriated the optimo
as their own exclusive style.
More fixed and stately in design Is
the Milan straw fedora, which Is a
shape much affected by the young and
middle-aged alike

Crosses of Honor.

One Of the greatest pleasures the
Daughters Of Confederacy have is in
the bestowal of Crosses of Honor
on the old Veterans. The idea is
one Of recent conception, and to Mrs.
Mary Ann Cobb Erwin, Of Athens,
Ga, is due the inspired thought, and
the design was by Mrs. s. e. Cab
bett, of Atlanta.
1t is an appropriately designed
iron cross of st. John and bears the
Confederate battle flag surrounded
by q. laurel wreath, with the inscrip
tion: Southern Cross OF Honor
On the reverse side is the Confeder
ate motto, "Deo Vindici. 1861 1865"
and "From u. ID. o. to u q ""
More than twenty thousand Con
federate soldiers now proudly wear
this simple decoration, and many old
veterans lest wish is that it may be
placed on the stilled heart after TIE
great battle Of life is over and he
crosses over the river of death to join
the innumerable hosts who have fin.
ished the fight.
On one occasion at Veterans re.
union wealthy woman tried to buy
one as a souvenir. A battle SCARED
soldier said to her: "NIadam, this lit,
tie cross represents the bloodshed of
the Southern army, and u million
dollars would not buy one"
These crosses are given free to
every man who honorably served the
South during the war. No veteran
shall, under any circumstances, re.
ceive but one, and if that one is lost
he can never get another. They can
have their names engraved on the
pm bar of the cross, and if any one
is not able to do this tho Daughters
will bear the expense Of it.
