MERRY WIDOW HATS
LIKED BY EVERYBODY
MEN PRETEND TO GR0WL AT
THEM
These Creations Are Popular with
Everybody, as MllIlner and
Street Car Conductor

"Those Merry Widow hats in the
road on street cars?" queried the fash
ionable milliner OF a Broadway store.
Nonsense. The men make such fun
of them; but all the time they pay
good attention to them just the same.
why, fashions have to change. And
you wouldn't admire the little narrow
sort of hat If 1t were in vogue all the
years of existence.
Change is what is wanted, and the
broad-rimmed hat came in, was dubbed
theatrically the Merry Widow hat
and Is now the rage.
Men don't have to like them IL they.
don't want to do so. They can go
along and mind their own straw hats
which but a handful of years ago.
say ten, were pretty nearly as broad
brimmed as any Merry Widow you see
in the windows today.
well, maybe not quite so broad, but
almost. They were so wide that 1t cost
something to have those straw hats
young fellow those days had to be
careful of his broad, broad hat when
he stepped into the narrow door of a.
street car"
And the milliner added that If the

the style. Besides, the street car COM
panies should not be so particular in
asking the people to pay double on the
big Merry Widows.
Styles Change
The street car conductor was asked
concerning the new broad-brimmed
hats which the women affect these
days.
"Oh! Those hats with the platforms
on either end OF them and bunch OF
ostrich farms on top?
'They are making heaps of fun for
us cons. Try to get through a big
crowd in the aisle during the o'clock
rush. say, and the big hats make It all
the worse.
II confess, for beauty I like those
hats as we'll as anybody else. They are
peaches for style, for sure.
But when II comes to crawling un-
der the rim of one of those moving
flower gardens to get the fares of
three men standing next to the owner
of said hat, and then getting an eye
sawed out of your head by the next
Merry Widow creation down the aisle
its a little too much.
Let fellow try to grab the fare
rope and get handful of those wide
reaching feathers or plumes on those
large, big-hearted hats, and you have
to stop and apologize, or else be stared
at for a real, rude. mean thing.
"Oh, there's plenty of excitement in
our business with the big hat in town.
Here comes one now; girl even
prettier than the hat. / take 1t all
back. Those hats are all right"
| And the fat passenger standing be-

cigar agreed with the conductor fmme-

daughter of Governor Sheldon, stepped
up to him and asked him IL he was Ill.
40, not at ALL replied the doctor.
I'm just doing this to amuse the chill
dren.'"
Everybody took the trip with that
same good nature and the result was a
happy outing, despite the rough wealth
er. The party had a short trip on the
glass bottomed boats at Avalon and
had a glimpse of that beautiful resort
from about noon until 3 o'clock p M,
when they started back to San Pedro.
They arrived at Los Angeles about

LOS Angeles has given us the time
of our lives. We feel particularly
grateful to the Hotel Angelus manage

the proprietor, who with d. 8. Larimer,
met our train at San Bernardino and
arranged ahead of time about our
