Big international Tourna.
ment at JOstend

The present year is likely to witness many
chess events of Importance. The following Is
brief summary:
On June 9 the international, Tournament will
start at Ostend In this tournament, it IS ex-
pected that DR.. Lasker, Marshall, Maroczy ana
Janowski will all enter, possibly DR.. Iarrascn'
Following this event, the German Chess Assocla-
ton propose to hold tournament at Neurem'
burg, to begin the 23d day of July This tourna
ment will include players of various classes, nut
the chief event will be a Championship Iourna
ment in which DIR. Tarrasch announces the 1ol
lowing players will contests
DR. Lasker DIR. Tarrasch, Janowsk, Marshall
Maroczy and Schlecter. If this should come to
pass, all the greatest living masters, with the
exception of Pillsbury, will meet in one tourna-
ment
The next important event will he match be-
tween Dr. Lasker and MIR. Maroczy, for which ar
ticles of agreement have already been signed by
both masters In brief, the conditions are as
follows:
The player winning eight games will be the
winner
Time limit, fifteen moves an hour.
The match to start on Monday, October 10,
1906, and to be played in three series. The hrst
series in Europe and two Others in America The
6rst series to terminate when one of the players
has won three games. This will be the greatest
match the world has seen since DR.. Lasker won
the worlds championship in his first match with
w. Stenitz, While it is true that many players
consider DIR. Tarrasch equal to Maroczy, the gen
eral opinion among experts is that this is not the
case DR. Tarrasch is slow player, and re-
ouires slower time limit than fifteen moves per
hour He also plays his best chess when he plays
in his home at Nuremburg, where he has his
friends around him to encourage him, and his Ii
brary to assist him in working out variations be-
tween the hours fixed for play, DIR. Tarrasch is
certainly one of the greatest analysts of the pres
ent day, but in our judgment as an over-the-
board player, he is not equal TO Lasker, Maroczy,
Pillsbury, or Schlecter, and it is doubtful wheth-
er he is equal to Marshal or Janowsd, where the
time limit is fifteen twenty moves per hour.

observations he heard on Monday morning, in
his opinion his customers received very little
benefit by going to church More hats
brought to the matters to be blocked on Monday
morning than any other day in the week, and
considering what all this trouble, as well as the
loss of time, means to the average man, there is
little cause for wonder that he finally the
odds were against his church going.
DR.. 0sbourne at first reverted to the ld-time
custom practiced by our forefathers in the seven
teenth century of permitting the men to wear
their head covering at Divine service. But this
raised such hue and cry he finally lit upon the
latter plan, and the innovation has proved to be
such a comfortable one that it is being patterned
after by other fashionable and wellto-do houses
of worship so. that eventually no church, it is
believed, will be built without making suitable
provision for mems hats Not as has been the
custom, to allow the hat to be placed anywhere
that happened to be the best place for, the time
being> for it, thus rendering the wearer "a most
conspicuous figure when he again took his place
among his felow-men, for

A little narrower in the brim,

Two Penniless Princes

While the two elder sons of Prince Waldemar
were out walking near Copenhagen recently
night came on before they could return home
and, finding the roads very heavy, they kept a
lookout for a conveyance. The only vehicle that
passed them was a coal cart, and into this the
two young princes climbed.
On arriving at the outskirts of the town the
driver refused to take them any further, and de-
manded payment. The princes explained that
they had no money with them and told the
man who they were bidding him take them to
the palace. He refused to believe their story,
however, until policeman arrived and, recog,
nirng the princes, lent them some money so
that they could return to the palace in a tram,
way car.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-20

When the world at last awoke to the fact that
it was his hat which was keeping man away
from church effort was made to obvate this
great difficulty, and give one sex the same op-
portunity to worship in comfort that is now en-
joyed by the other.
Rev. L. w. Osbourne, of Albany n. Y, was
the first to take up cudges. He has caused to be
built in his church rack which extends
around the side and walls Of the ediice,
where the men may place their hats upon enter
ing. Since this innovation the pastor says the
percentage of male attendants has risen nearly
60 per cent, which goes to show what the troll
BILE all along has been and which has been so
misconstrued.
Welcome Relief
The Rev. Mr.. Osbourne boldly declares that he
knows it to be fact that the bother man has
had with his best hat in church very often caused
him to refrain altogether from attending service.
For some time now this troublesome question
of mems hats in church has been waiting solu-
ton and it was the rumor of what takes place
the day following the church going that probably
set the clergy a-thinking, for hatters were not
averse to letting the world know just what was
going on with them. One of the fraternity was
frank enough to remark that judging from the

be met according to the requirements Of the time
in which the hat is being worn, and there was
never an that required so much of this par
tcular feature of dress as the one in which we
now are living And it is truly gratifying to
know that this authentic fact is being met with
the same degree of tact and good, sound, common
sense that has characterized the custom Of the
hat from the start.
There is, however, one hat that will always re-
main immune, for the most famous hat in the
world is never worn, neither is it intended to be
worn. 1t is not freak hat, nor is it turned out
OF certain factory to show what it can do, but
1t is a cardinals hat--the most famous Of all
headgear. The cardinals hat is made of scarlet
cloth, lined with scarlet silk In shape it is
round and very fiat, with practically no depth
and no place to fit the crown of the head There
are red silk cords holding fifteen red bell-shaped
tassels on each side of what serves as crown
these tassels hang down on either side of where
the cardinals cheeks would be if he were to
veal wear MS hat. They are arranged in FIVE rows
lhe first row has bell-lke tassel, the second
two' and the Others three, four and FIVE re-

10 receive the hat" meaning the symbol of a
cardinals dignity in the Catholic Church. means
that person has been advanced to the cardinal
ate OF the Roman Church, and it calls for
stately ceremony.
Ih1s red hat was given first in the thirteenth
century at the Council of Lyon by Innocent W.
and during all the time since comparatively few
red hats have been made. This is not owing to
the tact that the most famous hat in the world
IS never worn, but is kept hanging as is Cardinal
McCloskeys, one of the two American cardinals,
far up in the hollow of the roof of ST. Patrick's
Cathedral in New York, but because red, for
headgear at least, does not find as much favor in
Beau Brummels eyes as it does in the eyes of
La Femme.
There have been only three American Cardinals
in all, so only three red caps of this order have
been manufactured in this country One for Car
dnal MazzeIa, who is now deceased; another for
Cardinal McCloskey, and the third for Cardinal
Gibbons. The first to obtain the red cap became
citizen of the United States by adoption. The
other two were both born in this country and
therefore typical Americans.
They at least were not kept away from divine
service through fear of the fate of their hat and
now it does seem as though the less fortunate
masses of men were going to be able to worship
in comfort.

ent day varies in different countries Nobody in
America would think of removing his hat in
public conveyance, unless it be the elevator. In
going shopping for instance, the gentleman
walks among the ladies without removing his hat,
even with the one he is escorting through the
store. 5egT
Etiquette of the Hat
But if he ascends from one floor to another
he must doff his hat He also does the same in
the halls and corridors of hotel or in going
through picture gallery
In France and Germany, however, no man
would think of entering railway carriage
without removing bis hat. Every man, in every
station of life, acknowledges this politeness, as it
is considered, just as some of the younger set
TO be met with at the present day insist upon re.
manning bareheaded, no matter what the weather,
So long as they are holding conversation with
the fairer ones.

In this aquarium were some red and some vel

green ones to the green grotto.

And so the man who is tied down by half dozen

Don't marry for beauty alone. Socrates called
beauty "a shortlved tyranny" and Theophras

Two women hearing the above conversation
looked mystifed until "Bob's" sister laughingly
remarked, "Oh, you can't get that brother of
mine inside church these days. He took Bill
to service about four weeks ago and after the
first hymn he sat down upon his high hat. There
was an explosion like the discharge of gun, the
hat was ruined and Bob says he was so mortified
he didn't hear a word of the service, and the
things he thought were enough to put his chance
of salvation in jeopardy"
This explanation enlightening. 1t solved
the mystery. The "eterna hat is the big reason
why women more gody than men, for while
divine service is the glory of woman's head
piece, it is very often the ruination of mans.
