this is a protest against the prevail
ing styles in ladies hats. No mere
newspaper would undertake an opin-
ion on a subject so fully exemplify-
ing the definition of art-an imita-
ton of nature in the expression of
an ideal Whatever the style we are
glad in it. Whatever the cost, we
pay it humbly. And if one year the
hat looks like a burnt biscuit in a
shallow pie-PEn, and the next like a
bunch of velvet bananas, and this
like a pudding dish burned on the
bottom, why we only say we are
not up TO it, and go on plodding TO-
ward the Beautiful with our hearts
full of dogged hope.
All that this is meant to ask is
that we may give our optic nerves
little rest at this seasons con
certs. We know the hats are lovely
that this years CONNECTIONS" put
last years creations" in the dim
deep shadow, not to say on the
blink. We like to look at them as al
the gracious smiling faces under
meath. But sight cannot stand the
dazzle of the sun all day long, and
we should think more happily of the
/ hats that cost us so much if, on con
cert days, we could give our sur.
feited eyes the rest of seeing the
/ bareheaded performers on the
stage.

SeaDOrtS-Plus and Minus.

Galveston. re-created, gave Boston
a Jolt the other day. A visitor from
the Hub stopped off at the Texas
seaport and found opportunity to
ask why the Government was spend
ing so much more money on harbor
improvements there than at his
home. For answer, say the news
papers, he got a patient look and
this:
Boston2 Poston2 Please do wake up
Boston is of the map Of national com
merce today. She is doing local bust
ness merely, strictly retail. SO with
Philadelphia, where the Wharves rot IN
the sun So with Baltimore and New
port News, and San Franclsco-ail local
ports. The three wholesale. national sea
gates Of today and the future are New
York, alveston-Houston. and Seattle
Wonderful as she is, beautiful as
she is to be. aud busy as she has al
wavs been, Galveston has enough to
make her proud without sighting
Boston. And the Massachusetts
seaport rather has it on her rival in
everything but Imagination. For in
the first six months of the current
wear Galveston lost ground, while
Boston advanced in the value of her
imports from $6s,OOO,O0O to S82,-
100000.
Which turns the mind to the sub
iect of deep-water cities. There is
London. an inland metropolis which
clears two vessels to every one that
leaves New York-one every four
teen minutes compared with one
every half hour. But our metrOpO-
lis far exceeds England's in the
value of her shipments, the average
cargo value of New York being s92,-
3O7. and that of London being
S47,242.
Even so, New York is not the
commercial center of America. This
country has Ione. What of Boston
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk
Charleston, Mobile. New Orleans
and Galveston? What of Cleveland
Chicago, Milwaukee, and Duluth;
These cities bear a relation to Oul
trade which finds no parallel il
Glasgow, marlborough, liverpool
southampton. or any other of Eng
lands coast cities. For the Englisl
ciearings are nearly all for foreigI
ports, while ours are half or NOR,
than half for other American har
bors.
So we have considerable pride il

docks and her 81 .2eO, 100000 of com
merce, and her actual excess OF for
