Hats That Improve With Age.

Hats That Improve With Age.
 "A silk hat, like wine, improves with age," said clubman. "The oftener you have it ironed the sleeker and more brilliant it becomes. It costs a good deal at the outset, but in the end it is the cheapest hat to wear. It lasts, you see, so long, and to iron 1t costs so little. Some folks think the topper very perishable. fit gets soaked with rain, if some one sits on 1t and crush. es 1t into an accordion, they think it must be thrown away the same as if 1t were derby. But not at all. A silk hat can be taken apart and put together again like watch. and if 1t gets crushed nothing is easier than to melt off the silk, straighten out the frame and then put on the silk again. In England, the home of this hat have known men to wear the same topper for ten or twelve years. And the oftener the old hat is ironed the brighter and finer it shines. Its luster increases with time and friction like the luster of good antique furniture" :" Los Angeles Times.

Those Fool Questions.

Here's a sample: I went into a drug store over here thetother day and told the man at the soda fountain that I wanted an egg milk shake. He looked at me a moment and then asked me, Do you want an egg fin itT !
 T gave him the congealed optic and repeated my order to him, Egg milk shake I says. Once more and again the duck asks me. I say do you want an egg in itT
 T thought at first maybe he had misunderstood me, but after the sec ond time I spoke to him as follows: Had it ever struck you I says to him. that ingredients of an egg milk shake or any other egg drink include an egg1 Egg milk shakes are not made merely with milk and bologna sausage If yOa thought they were you've got about fourteen good drinks coming to you. Egg drinks call for eggs just the same as lemonade calls for lemons or straw berry shorteake for strawberriesT
