STRAW HAT SALE IN WINTER
For Wear in Florida, Where the Sum-
1; mer Season Has opened--Wave
Proceeds North.

1--WE always carry good stock
OF straw hats in winter" said
New York halter, "and the severer
the winter the more straw hats we
sell. The simple reason for this
is that in such a season more PEG
pie go south, and it is to people 60
ing we'll south that we sell straw
hats here in winter.
They are wearing straw hats in
Florida now, south of st. Angus
tine. You would find some straw
hats worn in that city, but at Or
mond, Palm Beach and Miami and
elsewhere throughout the Florida
peninsula south of st. Augustine
straw hats are now commonly
worn and are required for comfort.
THE straw hat stocks that we
carry in winter here and at our
agencies in Florida are not Of the
hats left over from the stocks OF
the preceding season here, but adj
vance supplies of new fresh goods,
from stocks made up for the sue
ceeding season. The straw hat
season in this country really opens
in Florida in winter, and the hats
we are now selling for wear there
are of the styles of 1906, such as
will become familiar here when, in
due time, the straw season shall
have opened in New York"
1--WE begin making straw hats
for the next years trade on Au-
gust TO-" said a straw hat manu-
facturer, "and this work goes on
actively all through the fall and
winter. When people here in
New York are going around in
heavy Overcoats and furs we are
selling straw hats for future de
livery, and the distribution of
straw hats to more distant south
ern points begins in winter, so that
the jObbers and retailers at these
points may have their stocks
ready for the opening of the sea-
son.
"The straw hat season opens in
Florida, not only for the tourists,
but for dwellers in the state, about
February l. In New Orleans and
Mobile and along the gulf, they be
gin to wear straw hats about April
1, and so with the advancing sea-
son straw hats begin to blossom
further and further north, until
we get the opening of the straw
hat season in New York about the
last Of May"

Never Contradict, Deny or Oppose
Her, Nor Even Tell>ths Truth .
and All Will Be Well.

A great many persons have sug-
gested methods as to the best way
to manage a husband, but it is re.
manned for a Eureka, Kan, man to
reduce to writing a set Of rules for
the successful management of
wife The following rules were
compiled by a business man who
claims to have followed them to
the letter during the last year and
says they have never been found al
fault in single instance during
that time:
Never contradict her. You are
right, of course, nine times out Of
ten, and she knows it, but to tell
her so makes her always unman-
ageable.
Never oppose her. When she
suggests that in the absence of the
cook you get up and light the fire
do SO at once, willingly and cheer
fully. If she wishes you to walk
the floor with the baby obey with
alacrity.
Never deny her. Possibly she
may exceed her allowance, but this
is always your fault, because you
are not man enough to supply
her.
Never be cross. When you como
home at night, having failed once
or twice during the day or been in
suited by total stranger, or with
ia large, powerful pain in your
stomach, laugh it off and conceal
your real feelings.
Never tell.her the truth. When
she asks you how you like her new
hat or cloak swear that you think
it is the greatest thing for the
money you ever saw. When she
shows you her new gown be lost in
admiration. When she is cross
and irritable tell her she is an an
gel.
Never disagree with her. When
she suggests that you have a cold
and need a hot mustard plaster
grin and bear it. When she tells
you she needs a change tell her
you are glad she mentioned it.
Never interrupt her.
This is the only way to manage
wife.

at. It's knees are scabby and its hide
