NOW THE ROBIN HOOD HAT
style That Divides Favor with What
10 Known az the Prairie, Of
Felt and Suede.

Millinery is one of the most impor
tant features in the toilette OF the
woman who wishes to be well dressed,
and to-day the cult of the plain hat is
as carefully considered as the elabo-
rate, the subject being as lnexhaustibIe
as the budget itself. The craze for
beaver still continues but 1t is safe
to predict that as the winter ap-
proaches black will lead the van,
adorned with cinnamon and royal blue
ostrich plumes for visiting and velvet
for morning wear The Robin Hood
hat is the latest shape to make its de-
but carried out in this charming ma
terial. AS will be remembered, the
hat worn by the famous outlaw OF this
name was turned up on one side. had
rather high crown, and was trimmed
with two long quill-like feathers. The
smart mondaine, although retaining
the shape, has substituted rosette OF
tinsel and tuft of breast plumage
for the feathers. For travelling II will
divide honors with the prairie hat,
which is fashioned OF felt and relieved
with band of suede OF contrasting
shade.-From the Tatler.

few social duties devolve officially on

quently entertain informally at the
dinner table. and once each social sea
son give a reception to the members
of the senate. which is one of the
most pleasant events of the entire
winter. Contrary to the White House
receptions. refreshments are served to
all invited guests.
The wife of the secretary of state
assumes her official social duties for
mally on New Years day. She Is ex-
pected to participate in the presidents
reception at the White House from II
to 1870 a. m. when she departs for
her home to receive the diplomatic
corps at a breakfast at noon Invita-
tions to the diplomatic breakfast are
confined to the members of the corps
and their families. the assistant secre-
taries OF state, the chief clerk and
chiefs of bureaus of the department of
state and their wives. II they are mar
ried.
When all are assembled the secre-
tary of state gives his arm to the wife
of the dean of the corps and leads the
way to the breakfast room. They are
followed by the other guests, no
further attention being paid to the or
der of precedence. except that the
wife of the secretary of state and the
dean of the corps are the last to enter
the breakfast room. II the secretary
of state occupies a house too small
to seat large party of guests in the
dining room the unwritten code pro-
vides that small tables shall be placed
In convenient places about the rooms
for serving refreshments from a
buffet. 1t Is also required by the code
that only such refreshments as can be

CAPITAL LIFE HARD
Wives Of President and Cabinet
Officers Kept Busy.
Social Duties Of Women In Washing
ton Are onerous-Sometimes
They Break Down Under the
Severe Strain.

Observation-Disclosures who aspire to
have their husbands become presi-
dents OF the United States or vice
presidents. or members OF the presi-
dents cabinet. would do well to con-
slider the social responsibilities which
would fall to them, as well as to pre-
pare themselves to give up their hus-
bands to the public service. The life
of these women in Washington large
ly Is public In itself There are heavy
demands on their time for social du-
ties which are to many distasteful.
Nevertheless. these duties cannot be
thrust aside unless by serious illness.
One winters social campaign in
Washington has wrecked more than
one woman's nerves
1t Is no secret that Mrs. Charles W.
Fairbanks. wife of the former vice
president. broke down under the pres
sure of her social position.
Still more recently. Mrs. William H.
Taft. the wife of the president, passed
through serious illness. which, while
not due to a winters social campaign
In the White House. is believed to be
the consequence OF tne long strain
she endured during her husbands
campaign for the presidency.
One is inevitably struck in Wash
ington with the fact that the social
duties of the wife of the vice-presi
dent practically parallel the Official
duties Of her husband. The office of
vice-president has come to be held by
the American people as sort of fifth
wheel. for use only in case of emer-
gency. Nevertheless. the vice-presi-
dent presides daily over the sessions
of the senate and has his time as
fully occupied as the president him
self. The vice-president, II he is q
congenial companion for the president,
becomes sort of an assistant to
him. In the Taft administration the
relationship between President Taft
and Vice President James s. Sherman
is closer than IN recent administra-
tions.
Aside from appearing at all such
social affairs. none of which is ever
held at the home of the vice-presi

JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER

We strive to the end to supply you
with something just a little better
than you get elsewhere. You can't
always see in what respect it is bet
ter but we can usually point it out
to you If we could compare.
1t takes experience and knowledge
OF the business in order to see these
things at a glance and realize the
difference in order to guard you in
your purchase. For instance, goods
are made up in gold as low as four
karat, or four twenty-fourths only,
gold. These are often sold the same
as ten and fourteen K goods.
Our rule to supply the best for the
least money not only applies to goods
sold over the counter with us, but
in whatever department of our bust
ness you may have need.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1909-01-06

Our repair department is where we
can make you realize that you are
getting your moneys worth. If you
nave taken your watch elsewhere for
repairs, and it does not run correct
~, We invite you to leave it with us
with instructions to put it in order.
and then compare the difference in
satisfaction. Every watch that runs
is not in order to keep time.
The endless chain of pleased pa
tlents who are advising their friends,
relatives and neighbors to have their
eyes examined and glasses fitted by
us is all the advertising we need, and
the best We could possibly receive.
The secret of our success is that
little bit better" idea which we
make a rule. Our prices are often
