lars is nothing for hat in many places,
and have seen more than one hat that
went considerably over 800 We seem
20 be looking backward 20 those ex-
travagances condemned by those old
Massachusetts magistrates. We must
have hats. We want them pretty and
becoming. Some women cannot even
buy a hat wisely, because they do not
stop 70 consider the way their hair is
dressed. which. 1 assure you. makes q
great difference 10 the wearing. They
don't stop to consider harmony OF color
for hair and eyes and complexion. or
the lines that bring out their particular
style of beauty.
Some wee bit OF a woman. with tiny
delicate features. will try TO carry OF
great big hat, and you wiz wonder
what has become Of the little woman.
Another. with a bit OF a retrouche nose,
Will select a hat that Tits up in front,
thus accentUating the upward tendency
of the nose. The French people carry
of the honors of the whole world for
ers, but they are very jealous of the
American milliners. The seem 70 fear
their laurels are going to be wrested
from them.
The question Of how we shall meet
this growing demand Of the day for the
beautiful and artistic in our head gear
without such great cost has given birth
to the idea Of teaching milliners in
schools -

Athens Was Their Paris.
"As Paris supplies the styles for
America today, Athens furnished the
fashions for Rome and all Italy in by
gone days. It would require hours to
trace the evolution OF the simple hat Of
the Greeks into the twentieth century
creations. therefore. I shall only call
your attention to the more important
changes that have taken place from
century to century in the,ar of femin-
inc apparel. principally as its represen-
tatiVe in what has come to be known
as the milliners art. WHAT woman does
not love a pretty hat? And I have seen
many men who could eBthuse over some
Of the creations
After tracing the hat lore OF centu-
ries. which none of us remember very
vividly Miss Quaintrell told OF the ex-
communication Of the wife Of a British
naval officer for peTsisting in attending
church without bonnet or hat.
The Stunrer of 1907.
in 1907 a decidedly one-sided effect
appeared IN woman's dress Let me
quote few lines to illustrate: The air
must be worn on the left side Of the
IOreuedd In q cluster OI loose picdls anu
waves; on the right two large cork
screw curls.' The bonnet was worn as
a jockey bonnet. made of diamond straw.
with a full quilting Of lace over the
right eye. lilac silk handkerchief tied
on the left side. Another description
given Is Of a small hat OF pale blue.
with drapery OF lilac gauze, with
wreaths OF silver grapes and leaves.
The drapery was suspended at the right
side and reached to the ground, with
tassels of blue and silver at the foot.
I'VE smile at this old-time style. but
only last winter to my personal knowl-
edge. at a New York theater a woman
prominent in social circles appeared
wearing a large hat adorned with an i'm
mense willow plume, so that II passed
around the crown Of the hat and fell at
the left side.
Unprecedented Extravagance.
"we have reached a degree Of ex-
travagance in the milliner's art that is
almost appalling. Fifty and sixty dol

THE WISE ONE.

There was a man in our town.
And ne was wondroUs wise:
He didn't do the strenuous life
Nor got the pace that flies.
He didn't hit an auto I'D
Until he caused a wreck
From which they later picked him out
With broken bones or neck.
He didn't seek the upper air
In ships that hy around
Until they drop a cog and drip
Ineir contents to the ground.
He didn't drive a rapid horse
That loved 20 burn the road
Until II ran away like mad
And smashed its wagon load.
lie didn't buck the Wall Street bunch
As either bull or bear
Until he'd finished up with n
And left his wad down there.
He didn't blow his millions on
The great waite way by night
Nor mix up IN the social whirI
That swipes the cash all right.
iIe didn't even try 20 skip
With Browns or Jones wife;
But bravelv sought in every way
To live the simple life.
And so he lived-untl one day,
Just how did not appear.
a street car caught him on tae track
And ended his career
Beneath the sod tke wies one rests:
We wipe our weeping eyes
And wonder, in a town like purs.
Why should a man be w1se2
