little filmy thing OF gauze or

querade under a few other names.
Sometimes the wrap that is to be

similar to the shapes that were so ia

there is a delightful individuality of cut

Some of these little summer wraps. if

straight scarfs of net that have been
draped and held in shape by huge or

been provided armholes by the simple
device of catching together the edges
below the shoulders. A belt of velvet
or satin threads its way through the
front ends and is tied in a bow with
long ends at the back

The Tilt of the Hat

KITS MY hat on straight" is no
longer the Interrogation OF the
Il eternal feminine-for now the tilt
is the thing.
The hats are worn far down on the
head: they droop at the right, and the
proper tilt over that eye is the delicate
question.
There is danger OF a ridiculous ex-
treme in this tilt. and there is the pos
sibility OF most fetching piquancy.
A hat must be placed upon the head
before the mirror and experimental with
until the correct adjustment becomes
second nature: then one can wear the
tilted brim with the saving grace Of
knowing that the best has been made

or 1t might even be fashioned of fig
ured yelling; but in any form 1t is
alluring.
The quality OF the material that is
used insures comfortable weight and
an easy adjustment of the shape. The
idea is universally becoming, and the
best part of this style is that the
woman who makes no claim to clever
ness is capable of trimming with a
series of huge loops tied in the center.
The bow nowadays may be placed at
the front, the side or the back. as the
wearer pleases. and the brim of the
large straw or net shape is usually
turned up at one side.
The black hat is probably most dur
able from its power to Withstand dust

tention OF the city Democratic Com
mittee when 1T meets tonight in the

This Is tho only city ward in which

their nomination were rather peculiar.

mary, Not only was this true. but In
the opinion of most of the city com
mittcemen, the time prior to the final
dato for fling notices OF candidacy
with the clerk Of the Hastings Court
was too short to permit OF primary
campaign. Under these circumstances
the nomination of candidates for the
Board OF Aldermen and the City Coun-
ell from the new ward was left to the
delegation from that ward in the city
committee.
Without hesitation the delegation
named the present members OF these

succeeding term. These men had Just
been chosen by the Manchester City
Council to represent the ward for the
unexpired term, lasting until Septem-
Der ] next
Acting upon the recommendation,
the City Democratic Committee de-
clared the ward representatives to be
the regular Democratic nominees.
There was however some diSsatiSfac-
ton with this action. and j. d. Reams
announced his candidacy for the Board
OF Aldermen while r. L. Ferguson and
John w. Wakefield became candidates
for the City Council, Tho Democratic
nominees are: Aldermen-.J. r. Perdue.

Possibly the committee at its meet
ing tonight Will take steps to aid the
men who We're declared to be the
party nominees.
