THE NEW SPRING HAT.

Her new spring hat is big, and large
and tall and high, and long and wide,
To get 1t through a street car door she
has to cock her head one side.
And yet she wears the dazzling mass
With such an air of dainty grace,
1t somehow seems but to enhance the
piquant beauty OF her face.
Beneath the brim her gray eyes flash,
to mortal man a constant lure,
A feature of bewitching charm in one
with manner so demure.
And then that saucy little nose, with
just the slightest upward twist.
Above the sweet lips of a mouth de-
signed by nature to be kissed!
Her new spring hat is big, and large
and long and wide, and tall and high,
But, oh! it caps a vision that is most
delightful to the eye.
wonder sometimes what it cost;

But when she wears it. every man she
meets must feel a sudden thrill,

Severe Freeze Predicted If Skies
Clear Tonight.
Evidently the growing things that
escaped from the frost earlier in the
week are to be given another hazing.
A severe frost tonight is forecasted by
Observer Sherier of the local weather
station, with chilly day tomorrow.
The forecast is based on the presump-
tion that the skies will clear before
morning. If they do not the danger
will probably be carried forward for
another "a hours.

Show Bad Weather.

A cold wave, to be preceded by local
rains and a severe storm on the lake.
with destructive gales, is in store for
today and possibly tomorrow.
The local forecasteri predicts that
rain today will be followed by de-
cided drop in temperature and that the
accompanying northwest wind Will
steadily increase in velocity. The lake

with word to lake stations to display
storm signals.
