MOTOR MILLINERY
VERY ATTRACTIVE
Little Fur Hats Are Pleas
ing and Comfortable.

OF quaint and charming motor milli-
merry there is no end. In this day of
small. Close-litting toques the necessity
for headgear dedicated exclusively to
motoring is not so great as it once was.
A large proportion of the ordinary
street hats, soft, flexible, pulled down
well on the head, are ideal for motor
use: yet there are plenty of models de-
signed primarily for motor wear, though
often converted to other uses.
Some of the little fur hats are espe-
cially attractive for winter motoring
and many OF these are oddly trimmed.
One, for instance, a pretty soft shape
in seal. has a rabbits head with sharp
ly erect ears posed almost at the top
of the crown directly in front. The
head is made OF feathers. and while too
bizarre TO please all tastes, the hat
looked extremely chic and amusing on
the pretty girl who wore it in her motor
with a big loose coat of seal.
Another odd little hat was a flower pot
shape of knitted wool bordered by dark
fur around the face and trimmed with
a cluster of wool flowers In the same
shop where this model was exhibited
was a quantity pretty fiat bonnet of
fluffy white beaver trimmed with bands
of black velvet crossing the crown, and
a black bow at the back.
Hoods of fur or of velvet and fur are
made up in picturesque and becoming
forms for Open-car wear on cold days.

Celebrated Leader of Hull House Makes Address

Miss Jane Adams. of Hull House,
Chicago. undoubtedly the most famous
settlement worker in the United States,
If not in the world, proved to be the
star attraction last night at a meeting
of the American Sociological Society at
the Hotel Raleigh. The opening of the
meeting was delayed half an hour
while Prof. Giddings tried to secure a
larger room, but finally he was forced
to abandon his efforts.
Recreation as a public function in
urban and rural communities formed
the topic OF the evening. Miss Adams
treated the urban side OF the question
while the rural phases formed the basis
OF a talk by DR.. c. W. Hetherington.

men may grow UP in veritable solitude:
they may be cut of from all forms Of
social intercourse. It Is such lack OF
comminsling with their fellows that leads
often to crime and degeneracy, and it Is
to correct such conditions that social
workers are now striving to provide
plenty of parks and Fairgrounds wherein
the children of the city can mingle after
their childish fashion.

she does revel in the new fluffy neck
wear, natty boots, and chic dress acces-

with so natural an inclination? It's the
care she takes not to be overdressed-
to put quality before the glitter Of cheap
style. and to wear her clothes as though
they were meant for her-that makes the
well-dressed girl so charming.
Then, too, the well-dressed girl inspires
something more than admiration-she in

Wherever she goes she radiates the sat-
