Confirmatio of the present writer's

more frightful. not TO say ferocious
than the ''pull-back" skirt of dozen

il was that which declared a woman S
browning glory to be her hair. The
womans hair mitigates, aneliorates,
softens the expression of her features
Can you imagine any completely hairless
woman being pretty? Wouldn't Aspasia or
Helen herself. with the face that launched
any of them have looked hideous, awful,
denuded utterly of her hair?
Yet that is the effect you get when you
view the female head covered by the pot
hat You see no wisp. not even a re-
belliouS fallen strand Of hair. All you
see is the face, the features, unmitiga ted,
unsoftened, unameliorated. And there
are so few, SO pitifully few, faces that can
stand so severe a test. A woman must be
marvelously beautiful of countenance in
order to look attractive when she pulls
something over her head that completely
screens her hair and permits only her
features to hypnotic a world She
must, indeed, be more beautiful than any
woman ever yet has been.
Do you know what the undersigned,
in the darkness and dismalness of his
furtive suspicion, really thinks about
the origin of these pot hats? Why, that
they were invented and thrust upon the
world by a clique of woman millinery
designers who themselves possessed
probably about nine hairs apiece!
That is the only reasonable view to
take of the origin of the pot hat. Wom-
en- who, having no hair of their own
worth mentioning. therefore hated women
who did have plenty of perfectly good
and nice hair must have sprung the
pot hat. 1t enabled the hairless or
nearly hairless women to screen their
hirsute deficiency and to take rank for
good looks with women who had all the
hair they could possibly use.
And yet IL is marvel to the Under
signed. too, why any woman possessed
of pretty hair and a lot OF 1T should
consent. fashion or no fashion, TO wear
one of these pot hats. Why should the
woman who has been blessed with fine
hair; who has been careful of her hair.

What oh what. has become of the
pretty hats for women of ten or d dozen
or more years ago? The well modelled

hats, the not-too-exaggerated picture

care to hazard the attempt to capture
any of the larger cities with g. direct

The avenues Of approach left open to an

defense of the cities from such attacks
that the land defense board of the army
is occupied, and the plans which have

cities are the most perfect that have ever
existed in this country.

Troops can be moved with the aid of

along the American coasts to which
troops cannot be rushed to repel an inva-
