This Is a very reasonable one,' the lead

a perfect ducky- dear, think.
Where is the value represented Why,

With a wreath Of them around the crown
you could soon run up the price Of hat to
what some might consider an extravagant
figure, hut think it would be worth what
ever was charged Did you ever see such
wonderful color in an artificial fower?'
That the hat shoppers agree with the
leading lady is evident, for the perfect
dream is snapped up immediately by very
pretty girl who came in an automobile and
is described as being very discreet, as she
has mover brought man In with her TO pay
her bills.
There ia a very handsome man, a real
husband, sitting by, and he looks quite peev-
ish at the loss Of that particular hat He
wanted it for his wife, a smart young woman
in black taior made with a Madonna face
and smooth hair parted in tho middle and
brought down plainly to a coil in the nape
Of the neck, a style Of hairdressing which
the millinery experts testify is the very
hardest to III to hat.
The husband. however, has done pretty
well, considering. There have been selected

But the sllesgirl stands temptingy in the
path with a confection from a nearby case
held alluringly in their direction. Her
glance seems to say that while they might
be able TO stagger through eternity without
that particular chattel, it would be a sad
and uninteresting journey.

There was never a time when Il required

just like everything else-people must have

She was in that first happy stage Of the

THE DtSfRItRS BACK
 IN THE CITY JAIL
Marshal Moore Received Word That Morgan is Wanted at Frisco.

Warren Lee Morgan and Harry Spence. deserters Sffom gthe United States navy. who were arrested by the police department week ago yester- day and held till the middle of the week pending word from the authori- 1 ities and later released in the absence of notification to hold them, were jail
 ed again yesterday and at least one of them will be sent to San Francisco to answer charges against him.
 Marshal Moore yesterday received word by letter from Mare Island that
 Morgan was wanted, that a reward had been offered for his arrest The au- thorities also stated that they would furnish transportation and expenses
 for the prisoner and one officer to ac- company him, and the officers ex- penses back to Phoenix.
 This came in answer to the tele-
 gram which the marshal sent when the deserters were first arrested. As there have been a number of assertions from
 the Pacific fleet on its cruise and the
 naval authorities have number of cases to look after. it required several days to run this particular case down and prove that Morgan was the man wanted.
 Marshal Moore has both men in linn
 bo and has again telegraphed Wash
 ingtOn naval officers regarding the case of Spence. the younger of the two stragglers from the sea. Morgan was a baker on the Panther. a floating ma chine shop while the other sea urchin was supposed to have been a seaman on the Alabama.
