"There will be no Panama hats worth
mentioning worn this season." said NJ.
B. Cross, representative of house
dealing in headgear.
"The summer of 1902 marked the
climax of what might be called the
Panama craze. Last season there was
an immense slump in this style of hat,
and this year hardly store in the
country will have them in stock. The
cause of their decline in public favor
is easy 20 understand. AS long as the
real and costly article was only in evil
dence the demand was seen, and the
higher the price the bigger the de-
mand. This led to the importation of
cheap counterfeits, which so flooded
the market that the Panama became
common, or. rather, its imitation. Any
way, as soon as this occurred men of
style and fashion discarded the once
priced ornament of dress and reverted
to the simpler and always better look
ing sort of straws. In another decade
the Panama may once more become
the rage" -Washington Post.

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Fortune Telling Rose.

From red or pink tissue paper cut
large, medium and small rose leaves
until you have enough to make an i'm
mense full blown rose that will fit in
4 large salad bowl. Arrange these to
make the flower as perfect as possible.
To as many OF the leaves as there are
guests tie green baby ribbon which
pVst hang over the outside Of the
bowl. At the bottom of each leaf thus
prepared fasten slip Of paper on
which is written n prophecy of some
kind. For instance, on one write, You
will have long, happy llfe;' on an
other, you will soon go on Il journey
across water"
A pretty fancy Is to have ring
fastened to one OF them which will
fall to the one who receives the slip
of paper on which is written, "All
things that are good fall to you
When these are all arranged each
guest takes one OF the tiny ribbons
hanging at the side of the bowl, and
they give a quick pull all together,
which scatters the leaves in all direc-
tons, leaving them dangling in the
hands of those who hold the ribbon at
the other end

Boats with Eyes.

In China, where SO many hundreds of
people live their entire lives on boats,
there Is very strange idea that an eye
must be painted on the bow of the
boat that it may see its way through
the water.

sat in the front of a small boat with
his feet hanging over the painted eye,
The owner became very much excited
and begged the traveller not to cover
the eye OF the boat, as IL must see its
way.

were anxious 70 paint an eye on the
