Randolph Reporter: Reading the
account Of the death Of s. y. Cutler at
the insane asylum at Norfolk, carries
us back twenty years, when we were
a miscnievious youngster in Wayne
In company with the rest Of the
young mischief makers OF that town,
we used to take particular delight in
raiding Mr. Cutters fine vineyard and
orchard out on Graveyard Hill, 1"
which always contained some of the
finest fruit we ever tasted. There
was also lots of II there-which we
could not get because it was too close
to the house and old "Shep'-that we
thought then was simply the sweetest
and juiciest in all the wide world If

HATS ARE A BIT FREAkISH.
But They Look Good Enough in Action
and the Colors Are Fine.

Startling things are told about the
things which women are destined to
wear as headgear this spring and sum-
mer, and view of the hats in Norfolk
stores confirms me rumor.
At first glance the hats are startling
even to women who are used to
wearing queer shapes-but when
placed upon properly prepared
couture, one with the low roll and
psyche knot, they are startlingly at
tractive, and their clumsiness is con-
verified to grace.
One of the rumors which amazes
when heard for the first time of the
"cabriolet," a modernized sunbonnet.
The hat which has been harshly de-
scribed by a pun on its first syllable
is nothing more or less than the so
called directoire hat" While its
bullying bell-shaped crown is mounted
on a dropping brim, this brim is cut
away to fit properly over the above
mentioned and important item of the
couture, the psyche knot. The brim
also is bent in bonnet fashion and
forms a half moon, as it were, over
the head, from ear to ear. A trail
of flowers, maybe fruit and maybe
vegetables, hangs coquettishly over the
ears, and sometimes band of ribbon
travels from the hat under the chin
and back to the hat again to be fast
ened with a coy bow. Many of the
hats do resemble an inverted soup
tureen in shape and will carry the
vegetables not in, but on the bowl
Vegetables, by the way, are to be very
good as hat trimmings. Fruit also is
good, but birds not so very.
AS for colors this year the bird Of
paradise shades, from the colder
brown to the light yellow, are splendid
and sometimes are called the colds
The amethyst colors also are favor
ties. Flowers, of course, will be will
us. and ribbons as trimmings hole
