A Profusion of the Latest Ideas
in Hats.

Merry WIDOWS, harlng wide,
TITLES" turned up on the side;
Such a such a show bewildering,
Each, in style, the latest thing.
"Crimpy crepe and chiffon thin,
Bands Of velvet, buckle, pin;
Never such like hats before
Any woman ever wore.
"O'er and DER | try them on,

How to choose, the question now,

Blows a blizzard, but | smile;
Buying Easter hats, you see,
June-like, makes the world to
me. "-Exchange.
Spring millinery continues to be
the irresistible feature among the
feminine contingent of Tucumcari.
Mrs. Severe's parlors in
the Hancock building were the
center of attraction on last Satur-
day afternoon. Throngs Of women
viewed her elegant display and
were cordially welcomed by Mrs.
Severe and her assistant Miss
Marguerite Blair. Both ladies
were charmingly gowned, the par
lors were beautifully decorated
and sweet music was furnished
during the afternoon by Mrs. May
of the Crystal Theatre.
Each guest was asked to regis
ter that she might be the recipient
later on of a souvenir of the &C.
casion.
Mrs. Severe, fresh from the
ultra-fashionable eastern centers,
has set for Tucumcari an excellent
standard in millinery, that indehn-
able air, which a city alone can
bestow is at once recognized in her
elegant and ultra-stylish hats; and
to her trimmer, Miss Blair who is
an artist in her line, too much
praise cannot be given for her
beautiful creations.
Among the specially noticeable
hats was a picture hat in white,
adorned with two long Duchess
plumes and clusters of hyacinths,
which was marked $50; and won
derful to tell, Mrs. Severe stated
that several ladies were contem-
plating purchasing it. There was
also a beautiful hat in varying
tints Of brown and tan that only
cost S35. In fact S35 hats were
plentiful and while many ladies
modestly requested to be shown
ten and fifteen dollar hats, yet the
SIS creations" did not go a beg.
ging for customers.
Mrs. Severe's display was COM
mented upon in highly compli-
mentary terms by ladies who de-
mand the most exclusive and up
to-date designs in millinery, and
who are glad to welcome these
ladies to our city.

Tbe HVeek In Society.
MRS. WARREN'S
ENTERTAINMENT



the little people of our town that
has ever occurred in its history was
the program given under the super
vision of Mrs. Warren in Warren's
Hall last Friday evening.
Children on the stage are al
ways interesting and when in cos-
tune are especially so. Mrs.
Warren on this occasion proved
herself an expert in training chill
dren and the entertainment was in
every respect high class.
The Ladies Orchestra, which
has become an indispensable fea-
ture in affairs of this kind, rem
dered some unusually good select
ions.
The Lilliputian Wedding was
like a scene from Fairyland in
which the high-contracting parties,
Master Bun Hargis and Miss
Josephine Spencer acquitted them
selves with that ease and grace
which belongs to maturer years.
The preacher in top hat evening
clothes and white tie was the
dignihed parson to perfection
This part was played by Herbert
Warren and his versatile talent
showed itself in his other numbers,
those of a Jack Tar in the Sailors
Hornpipe and a typical clown in
this Clown Dance.
The wedding ceremony went off
without a hitch and when the
blushing bride and manly groom
were pronounced one, Mama"
who was Lucille Wharton, cried
on the brides shoulder with all
the abandon of the real mother:
the charming little Maid-of- honor
all in pink, who was little Dorothy
Sillsbee, kissed the bride very
touchingly; the six bridesmaids in
blue followed suit, and the dear
little flower girls, Ruth Golden
berg, Dorothy Stewart and Anna
May Rucker, strewed the path Of
the bride with flowers as a prelim-
mary to the grand march that
followed.
The six groomsmen in conven-
tional evening clothes and tall hats,
calamity offered their arms to the
lovely bridesmaids in a manner
that many full-hedged groomsmen
might emulate. The ring bearer,
Willie Rutherford and the tiny
ushers, Roy Goldenberg a d
Robert Spencer, were Just too
cute for anything"
Mrs. Addleman, in her usual
inimitable manner, sang 20,
Promise Me-" during the ceremony
and Miss Drum played the We'd
ding march from Mendelssohn.
One of the finest numbers Of
the program was the Trial Scene"
from The Merchant of Venice"
in which little Ann Russell rem
dered the difficult part of Portia,
showing remarkable histronic
talent in n so young.
Among the many beautiful
dances given by the members of
Mrs. Warren's juvenile class was
q picturesque Spanish Fandango"
given by Merle Koch, Emma
Jones, and Rose Lambert in
costume with castanets and bells; a
beautiful fairy-like skirt dance
by Josephine Spencer and Dorothy
Sillsbee and the Indian Squaw
Dance in costume led by Poca-
hontas in the wierd light of the
camp fire.

Faulkner counties tell Of damage by the
storm. Watson in Desha county is re-

In western Tennessee and Mississippi
