HATS

Large hats have sprung into sudden
popularity.
The midsunSnler hats will be made OF
chiffon, lace s9flssd and even muslin.
There is more pink and red used now
than was used earlier in the spring.
The combination of feathers and flowers
is not uncommon The flowers are made
by art to bloom in colors which in nature
they have never known. but in the hands
of a sllillful milliner they are blended
with other shades and colors to be at
tractive.
The lace fall at the back of the hat is
thing of tlu moment. 1t is bound to
become too CANNON TO be good form by

Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got
our agent at Delhi, N. Y.
Gladstone & Paine were agents for
---; We mustn't tell names.
We wanted 'em. Paine was painting
his big Colonial house. Said it took 10
gallons of white for the trim.
We sent him 10 gallons and said: If
you get it all on, no pay; if you have
any left, return it and pay for the rest.
Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took the
agency. Four or five years ago. He
knows now that his old paint was and
is adulterated that's why it took ten
gallons to equal six of ours.
Go by the name; there is but one
name to go by: Devoe lead-and-zinc.
