is 1t On Straight? There's Reason


The smartly gowned woman knows
full we'll the value of the poise. Does
she plant her hat on her head and
stick pin in carelessly?
Not she.
She knows for the best of reasons
that adjusting the hat is a matter that
deserves study and which must be done
with care.
That every hat is capable Of poise.
That unless it is poised rightly It's
effect is spoiled. II is graceful and be-
coming if it is poised well, and most
ungraceful if badly poised.
That it must be set carefully on the
couture and the hair must be pulled
down in front to show some of it's big
soft waves.
That the side should be pulled out
little and the back hair receive at
tention.
AS for the hat, that it requires pin
ming, and that the pins must never be
placed in carelessly.
That each pin should show and be-
come part of the color scheme.
And that, Mr.. Man, is the reason she
absolutely must know whether her hat
is on straight.

The Montgomery tribune., 1908-05-08
WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER
EST FROM THE CAPITAL

The nomination of Secretary
Taft on the first ballot at the Chi
cago convention is now assured,
according to the ablest judges Of
political events in Washington in
cluding many of the men, who
have most euergetically opposed
Taft's nomination. The "allies"
as the men who oppose Secre-
tary Taft have called themselves,
have ceased to spend money to
that end, with the single excep-
tion of Senator Foraker, who is
still paying press agent to write
anti-Taft material and who is
spending considerable sums in the
South to secure contesting dele
The Montgomery tribune., 1908-05-08

cations, but were not the Ohio
Senator blinded by the intcn-
sity of feeling his political
sagacity would convince him of
the futility of further opposition.
Mr.. Foraker and to some extent
Vice President Fairbanks were
seeking to secure the denomination
of President Roosevelt and to that
end are trying to spread the re-
port that Mr.. Taft even If nomin-
ated could not be elected. Mr..
Foraker, for instance, is vocifer-
Gus in his declaration that the big
Secretary cannot carry Ohio, but
those, who recall the emphatic
predictions of Mr.. Foraker and
his friends that Mr.. Taft could
not secure the Ohio nomination
unless he compromised with the
Senator, are disposed to attach
little Importance to the declaration
The Montgomery tribune., 1908-05-08

inees, is that the convention will
nominate Roosevelt, that he will
then decline the nomination, and
that in this way the strength of
the Taft forces may be broken,
but even should Mr.. Roosevelt
accept, cay the few people, who
support Mr.. Fairbanks, that might
also mean that the tall Indianian
would be again slated for Vice
President. OF course these specu-
lations of the defeated candidates
are interesting, but as political
forecasts they are as worthy of re-
liances as the straw at which the
drowning man catches in his de-
spair. The almost unanimous
vote of Kentucky for Taft destroy
ed the last vestige of h"pe OF the
Fairbanks workers. Colorado has
just come into line for Taft. Re-
ports from New Jersey indicate
that he will have the majority of
the delegates from that state. He
is certain of the practically solid
vote of New England, despite the
fact that many of the delegates
are uninstructed, and conserva.
tive estimate of the first ballot in
the convention gives Taft 529
votes without counting any south
ern states in which there is con-
test.

church at an early age. She led a
Christian life until death. She
told Brother Thompson the day
before she died that she felt
that Jesus was with her
all through her sickness. She was
a loving mother and spared no
pains to make her family and
those around her comfortable and
happy. Her many friends and

Why should she stay?
When the gates are Jar
And the guide leads the way.
A FRIEND.
