p HAT viii we do II hats continue to be 50 expensive? I am certain
~ that most women have eve spent sc much money for millinery

I understand that the mi1iners are doing the most profitable business
There is a boom in rats, which has reached high water mark in elaborate

that they will pay almost anything for a chic model

depends on the program, and there are Beethoven hats and Richard Strauss
hats and hats for orchestral music and hats for chamber music. There ire

every occasion.
OF curse most o us are not in a position to W so many hats but l
know some women think they must have at least six hats every season, even
If they cannot afford them. They also are under the impression that if a hat
is fashionable it must be worn ven If it is most unbecomng
Extreme care should be exercised in the selection of hats color and size
being most essential | have seen enormous hats Of small heads the
wearers were certainly most ridiculous sights And I have also observed dinky
hats on big pompadour heads which also presented mosta absurd spectaces
If hats you must have dear women, get those that are most becoming to
your style of beauty and which will suit your pocketbook. Don't go to ex-
remes, il you want to be respected by your husbands and fathers.

How old a game is chess? X. c.
[Chess is a game of great antiquity,
whose origin. according to Hyde anG
Sir William Jones, is attributed to the
Hindus. From Hindustan it passed into
Persia, and thence into Arabia. The
Arabs introduced 1t into Spain in the
eighth century, and thence 1t spread
| throughout western Europe. Others
assign its origin to Pharmacies, a Greek
hero in the Trojan War, about 1880 B..
c. 1t Is said that the word chess is de-
rived from the Persian shah (king),
and checkmate from shahmat, meaning
king overcome.-Ed.]

n doveRNoR AND THE STATE GUARD.

A Governor who has had 10 experience in military matters is naturally
disposed to rely upon the counsel of the leading officers those who compose
the state Military Board. Governor Voorhees, knew absolutely nothing about
military affairs and he fell under the influence of a cabsl that induced him
to acts which were highly preJudhchl to the state Guard. His order for re-
organizing it was a disorganzing and demoranzng act from which thel
guard did nt recover until after Governor Murphy came into office. But
the ideas that were dominant in the National Guard management in 1898
exist today in the State Military Board. That board needs the elimination of
the mossback spirit and the infusion of the younger spirit that is lot obsti
nstelyo opposed to all change. The National Guard of the country, except
In New Jersey, has evoluted out of the condition of a military police force
and is assuming the character of a real military establishment The Fed
eraI government pliers every encoura cement to this desired change. But
the rustacean ofcrsa are altogether out of sympathy. To them the state
