Why Hats?

A coterie of advanced young women in St. Louis have undertaken to reform their sisters at a point which is in sore need of reform It is their pur- pose to impress upon femininity in general that the latest styles in head gear are nsupportable-not physically of course, because women would find it possible to support on their thought domes a frkin of butter, if fashion so decreed.
 Mere man, to be sure, is not in- formed as to the latest edicts of fash ion with regard to his better fraction $ top piece. All he knows and all he cares to know is that when the bills come in for the Easter creations, they will be plenty large enough But if the things to be balanced on feminin- 1ty's head are anything like those that are now being juggled about. mere man will welcome anything that re- sembles reform They are certainly awesome creations and creations is the only word that fittingly describes them
 No doubt the limit has been reached when women themselves begin to re- volt. Let it be hoped that the pendu- tum will swing so far the other way that the fair sex will eventually dis card hats altogether. If woman's glory is her hair, as some enthusiast has re- marked, let her display it unencum- bered. unpuffed and unratted.-Pitts- burg Post.

LOVERS PHONE.
Ingenious Invention Aids Swains in
 Hiuuanum


 Undoubtedly one of the most popu- lar inventions, especially with the young folks, writes the Higganum cor respondent of the Middletown Sun, is a new phone which has been invented by a party in this place. It is called the lovers phone" At first it has the appearance of a regular phone, but upon a close investigation one sees little clock, a calendar and a record producer and a little attachment that produces the picture of the person with whom you are conversing. The clock gives one the time, the calendar regis ters the time the date is made, the rec ord records the conversation, and the camera produces the picture of your best girl The instrument is certain to become a favorite at once, as it is inexpensive and avoids a butt in'' or a long wait for someone on the regular phone with urgent business to trans act, and has to wait for a baking to be done. or a visit mado, or fellow and his girl to rehearse the events of the previous evening or some future en- gagement. The record produced will also prove useful in case of a breach of promise suit, or maybe a divorce case Then again, if the young people are too bashful to spark the batteries will assist.

MODEL SCHOOL
Favored by Supt. F. H. Beede for New
 Haven-To Cost $1o0,o0o.

The recommendation of Secretary Hine of the state board of education in favor of the erection of a model school in New Haven. says the Union, is generally approved in local educa- tIonai circles Secretary Hines state ment was made at the meeting of the New Haven board of education Friday evening.
 Superintendent Beede. when asked about the plan of the secretary, said:
 This plan is to give another model training school for the instruction of the training teachers from the normal school in this city. The state has model school in New Britain and an- other in Wi1lfnantic and one at Dam bury It would be a very good thing to have one here, too. If built, it prob ably would be on the grounds of the present normal school. Such a build ing would provide for 500 pupils. Moth ing can be done until the meeting of the general assembly. The cost of such building would reach nearly S1O0, 900. The matter will doubtless be taken up by the board of education"

BROADWAY THEATER.
Under Southern Skies.

Few plays of recent years have se- cured such strong hold upon public favor as has Under Southern Skies, which comes to the Broadway theater on Thursday, March IT, matinee and night, for the first time this season The play is well remembered here from last season, the impression it then left being most favorable. Since it has been seen here Under Southern Skies has appeared in many cities and all ways to large and enthusiastic audi ences- Its reputation is now so well established that it has become almost unnecessary to print any encomiums of the play and production, the mere announcement of the coming of the at traction being all that is necessary to draw a crowded house. This wonder full popularity is not hard to account for, for there is not a dull or uninter- esting moment from the rise of the curtain until it's fall Almost the en- tire first and second acts are filled with life. gayety and fun.

THE OLD BROWN COAT.

The earth is looking shabby now. The old brown coat it wears Is faded with the snOws and rains. And full of rips and tears. The seams in places here and there Betray a patch of white, And half a dozen ragged holes Are gaping into sight But Maroh before the windy 0rUu0 She loves so we'll to wield, Is making dust and debris fly From garden, street and field. And often pauseS as she sweeps The town and country clean To mend the tattered coat of brown With little threads of green.
