"Merry Widow" Hats Remarked
on by Preacher

MERRY Widow" hats are unconstitu.
tional. A man Is guaranteed life, liber'
ty and the pursuit of happiness by the
Constitution, No iran can be happy
when anywhere in The vicinity of a hat
as big as an umbrella"
This is what Rev. William M, Dame,
rector Of Memorial Episcopal church,
Baltimore, said Sunday when asked
about the big hats and the suggestion Of
Mr.. Richard j. Biggs that women be
requested to take them off in church.
''The hats as big as an umbrella are
the fashion," he said. land l reckon
there is nothing more TO do about the
matter There is no arguing with a
woman about her wearing apparel
In the course of time we may become
more sensible ard have the women
weir small head coverings. Maybe they
will wear some little ornament to obey
the Biblical rule that women shall not
appear with uncovered heads In the
churches. But. then, you might as we'll
argue with a stone wall as to try to
have them wear smaller hats. a woman
will make all kinds Of fun of her neigh
boris big hat and then 20 and buy ore
twice as big.
"Then she goes walking down the
street with her chin in the air because
of the aize of her hat. There Is no use
talking about them,no use complaining
about them, no use making fun Of them
the women want them and they will
wear them. Mere nan cannot Influence
them. The hope lies in the future"

Tuesdays Staunton Leader
Could the spirit of the late Judge

sent at the unwilling of the of his
portrait Monday morning in the
Augusta county court house, that
esteemed jurist would have deemed
the struggles of life and his hon.
orable career we'll worth while. A

farmers, business men and men
from many other walks of life

measure the entire undertaking.
Mr.. Pratt, as spokesman for the
committee, called Judge S. H.

secretary.
In assuming his duties, Judge

zen. The curtain covering the por-
trait was then drawn aside by Mr..

BILE ex-. Confederate officer who
was lifelong friend of the late
Judge Mclaughlin.
The portrait of Judge McLaugh.
lin in oil is the work of Mr. H. M.
Wegner. The likeness is so strik
ing that one instlnctively feels
thet he is 10 the presence of the
late Judge and the first impulse is
10 speak 20 him. Mr.. Wegner has
teen congratulated on all sides on
his wonderful success in this in
stance.

Ancient Enamels.

1t is certain that glazes having the
composition Of good enamels were
manufactured at a very early date
Excellent glazes are still preserved, and
some Of the bricks which have been
found among the ruins of Babylon
have been ascribed to the seventh or
eighth century B. c. The glaze on the
Babylonian bricks was found upon ex-
animation to have a base Of soda glass,
or silicate of sodium. Glazes of SINH
lar character were also manufactured
by the Egyptians as early as the sixth
dynasty. There can be little doubt that
the Greeks and Etruscans were also
acquainted with the art of enameling,
