Wayne County Fair.
Squire Hollister is undoubtedly
the Oldest Justice of the Peace in
the state of Pennsylvania. The ven-
cradle custodian of the peace is a
remarkably well-preserved man for
his years. On January s, 1912, he
will celebrate the eighty-fifth ami

THREE FAITHFUL SUPPORTERS

A representative of the Citizen
was in conversation with three
faithful supporters of the fair. The
three gentlemen, Oscar e. Miller,
Oregon, A. w. Emo, Seelyville, and
Thomas Bellamy, Carbondale, but
formerly of Honesdale. Mr.. Emo
said he has been a regular attend
ant to the fair for 49 years. Fifty
years ago he helped bring a herd
of cattle to the fair and with the ex-
ception of one year has attended
regularly every annual exhibit.
Thomas Bellamy and Oscar Miller
both claim that 1911 is the 49th
time they have been to the fair, new
er having missed an exhibit since
the Wayne Agricultural society was
founded 62 years ago.
c. D. Fortnam has a fine herd of
four-year-old registered COW that
tips the scales at 1470 pounds and
an 18-month old registered bull that
weighs 100. Mr.. Fortnam is very
proud of his cattle and he has one
of the finest herds In Wayne coun-
ty. Mr.. Fortnam breeds nothing
but first class stock.

The. japanese have always been the

Where Headgear Comes High.
The money our own women spend on
their hats is q. trifle compared with the
sums expended on headgear by persons
of their sex in semi civilized countries
In Roumania and other parts of the
Balkans, for instance. the headdress of
the female peasant may be literally COW
cred with silver pieces. If she be of the
more well-to-do class, the coins will be
of gold; and she may carry in this way
the whole of her personal fortune about
with her-possibly supplemented by a
string of large coins around her neck.
In Thibet the most fashionable kind of
nat IS mace OF leather. ana covers DOCn

crusted with pounds of turquois, as well
IS with silver ornaments, some OF which
are curious little boxes containing
amulets supposed to bring good luck and
to protect the wearer against the devils
of various species that infest the coun-
try in incredible numbers.

been called by navigators the Fortunate
Isles, because the people who inhabit
them are not obliged to work for a liy-
ing, practically everything they need
being provided by bountiful nature.
The inhabitants are intelligent and
peaceful, and the women, who are IA
nous for their beauty. have new hats
every day in the year. They make them
of the leaves of the rattan vine, and
crown them with flowers; or sometimes
the material is furnished by palm leaves,
which are deity twisted into the. most
exquisite of helmets.
Samoa's Pretty Style
The native women of Polynesia cut
artificial flowers from palm leaves. for
the adornment of headgear, an important
feature of which is an elaborate comb of
the midTibs of leaves of the same kind.
Strings of fresh-plucked flowers descend
on either side over the ears TO the
shoulders, rendering the whole effect
most lovely. But it is in Samoa that
the most beautiful headdress is found,

THY is 1t necessary for a woman
w to have a new hat at Easter
The answer is very simple.
Since the earliest dawn OF history the
hat has been IN a peculiar degree the
ceremonial part OF dress. To welcome
the birth of the new year-which really
comes with the opening of spring, an1
not on Jan. ceremony OF some sort is
appropriate. The women express their
recognition Of its arrival by wearing
new hats.
From woman's point of view, the
hat is the most important article of COS
tune. Upon no other item of her APP
parel does she depend so much for the
enhancement of her beauty. And it
should be remembered that, to any I'M
married girl at all events, her personal
appearance IS the most important thing
IN the world This does not necessarily
imply that she is saturated with vanity,
but merely that in her physical attrac-
tions mainly hes her expectation of pro-
curing a mate, and incidentally of future
happiness.
Getting the Easter Hat
OF a certainty she will deny this-she
may not even be aware of it-but it is
a fact nevertheless Her point of view
in this regard is a matter of sex in
gtinct. inherited through thousands Of
generations Of women. No wonder, then,
that she devotes much thought and dis
cussion to her Easter hat. Her vefy
best establishments are expended upon
her father, or, if she has secured a mate
upon her husband, in order TO persuade
him TO help her 10 celebrate the awaken
ing OF spring by the purchase of head
gear as elaborate and costly as possible
One thing very noticeable about the
Easter hats OF this season, by the way,
is that in many instances they are strik-
lngly Oriental. One sees now and then
on the street a young woman with dark
eyes and complexion, who, her head sur
mounted by a weird structure of straw

Oriental Ideas Prevail
1t may Or may not be true, as the
empress of Japan was quoted the other
day as saying, that Europe and America
are getting their fashions NOWADAYS
from the realm Of the mikado; but it is
undeniable that many of the newest
hints in hats come from the Orient.
That part of the world is a. rich source
OF suggestions IN headgear At the pres
ent time. Japanese women do not wear

back who were the most perfectly ideal
matched couple.
1t is said that a jealous woman is
an awkward woman, who runs the
risk of losing what she wants to pos
sess all alone. I have consulted the
statistics and CLEANED that among loo
husbands there. are so and among the
same number of lovers there are II
to whom the fear of being found out
Is the beginning of wisdom.
1t is also said there is no greater
suffering than that of living with a
jealous wife. Now, gentlemen, be sin
cere, please. Vexed you are, perhaps.
but at the same time you feel flat
tered, very much flattered indeed.
There is even kind of jealousy so
delicious that 1 know of no greater
homage 1t is a discreet, loving I'M
easiness that never makes itself dis
agreeable 1t has not the courage to
reproach, it has not the feeling of pos
sessing any right But are we then
right to call it jealousy?
Finally it is said that Jealousy is a
proof of egotism. Is this. true? To
me the jealous woman is a woman of
surprising modesty, of a real self-for-
getting nature, of an absolute ignor-
ance of her own If all women could
see themselves as they really are,
that is to say as young, pretty and
attractive as their rivals, there would
be no more Jealous women
Jealousy is only a flaw in the ar
NOR. IT, Juan, who was, in his way,
a great flirt, was not ignorant of this.
He used an infaTib1e prescription to
create jealousy. and. through jealousy,
love- After having charmed the beauty
he wanted to win he turned a cold
shoulder to her and bega4 to court
another, and as a result h4T victim
always surrendered.
This example proves to perfection
that there is in jealousy more selfish
ness than love.

Nv THY are women jealous? Why,

other reason you may find
is as good as mine.
There are some women who are
jealous and others who are not. The
women who are jealous pass through
terrible moments until the day when
their suspicion becomes a certainty.
La Rochfoucauld has said something
similar. which was not bad for his
time: Jealousy lives on suspicion and
doubt. it becomes fury or dies when
ever it passes from suspicion to GER
tafnty.r
But if there are terrible moments
for jealous women there are also
pleasant times. She enjoys her un-
easiness. for uneasiness is sweet.
Goethe says somewhere: Nothing is
harder to endure than long row of
beautiful days" Besides a jealous
woman has something to occupy her
mind; she has a fixed idea, which to
some of them who would otherwise
have none (neither fixed nor chang
fng), IS very pleasant. 1 have known

The restrictions on open sport inn
posed by the local A. A. U. are begin
ming to make themselves felt among
some of the athletes, with the result
that the amateur movement is being
knocked somewhat. There is con
siderable opposition to the movement
in some circles, which has been of
passive, rather than an active, ma
ure i'm the past, but there seems to
be more likelihood of the opponents
OF the A. A. L. taking a more active
interest in the question now.
The relay race between Honolulu
and the sailors from the British
cruiser Kent almost fell through by
reason Of the fact that the sailors
are not amateurs, there being a gen

nor sailor can be an amateur under

some discussion, the local boys were
permitted to compete, no prizes being
offered for the race.
