THERE should be a strong bond Of
sympathy between those whose
l. vocation it is to evolve new hat
styles for men each season, and those
who have to chronicle the changes, in
asmuch as both are sadly put to it by
the meager limitations that the sub
iect offers. We must nave new styles
in headwear for men each season just
us we must have new fashions for
women, otherwise some of you provi-
dent men would dig up last season s
chapeau, spend half dollar or so
TO get it rejuvenatcd and cheat the
halter out of his all too modest profit
1t is to counteract this contingency
that something has to be done to draw
down that crown little lower than it
was last season or pull those brims
out little further Anything to make
last fall S hat look passe and prevent
you from "getting away" with such
atrocious economies. Russell Sage s
great boast was that he saved three or
four dollars a year by buying his hats
at the end Of the season when they
were almost giving them away, and
putting the hat carefully away for the
next year. But Russell was never fin
icky about being right in style, SO your
halter had no chance with him-but

change to save you from any tempta'
tion to make 'Iast years do"
And "believe u.s. it is some task,
because for the last fifty years men
have never stood for any radical
changes in either shape, fabric or color
in their hats, which makes the scope
for change mighty perplexing prob
lem. This spring they tell us, your
crown must be lower and brim wider,
and as the limitations bring the pro
portions down to fractional inches you
must not trespass this season beyond
the boundaries The bowlers or derby

men are up against. And our brim'
must be fat with only a slight curve

is considered good form this season
and that is somber black.
In the soft hats we are given a tride

I~ PRING styles for boys consist OF

fects are being shown with such pro
fusion that they must insinuate them
selves upon the favor OF discriminating
mothers, as they are really very at
tractive and refined.
Of the styles prescribed for boys
this spring the Norfolk coat suit with
knickerbocker pants is still IN the lead
Brown, navy and cadet blues are the
predominant color novelties, while
grays arc sill as popular as they were
last spring. Herringbone stripes and
invisible crossbar and overplsid eff
fects manifest themselves in "a manner
that must command response. In ref
erence TO young men, styles it is evi
dent that the correct length Of the coat
is to be from 3o1i to 81 inches, which
indicates that the shorter style of coat
favored for men has not, as yet, ar
rived in the junior fashions. Both the
single and double breasted styles are
making strong bid for predominance,
hut during the early weeks of trading
there is no indication as to which style
Will prove the most popular, as both
have been received with high favor.

The lapels are of mannish type, long
and comparatively narrow. For the
little fellows the sailor blouse is prov
ing exceptionally popular. Eton shapes
will also be strong favorites, aud Nor
folks have many staunch adhercnts.
An Eton style suit with white will be
quite popular for boys from three to

chronicled in the furnishing fashions.

Since the passing OF the new di
vorcc law regarding the bona 1de
residence OF seekers in Nevada,
many applicants have failed to bring
into court corroborative proof OF
their residence Of six months in this
state. and as a result Judges Orr and
Moran have been forced TO continue
their cases for the purpose of pro
ducing this proof of residence.
While the new divorce law has
made it easier for the applicants to
obtain the desired decree. as il is not
necessary now for them to express
their actual intentions, nevertheless
they must prodpSe corroborative
proof of their residence of six months
in Nevada.
Both judges of the local district
court require this proof and the di
vorce seekers will save considerable
trouble and delay by having someone
present at the trial to corroborate
their residence-J Journal

Why the wind

What makes the wind blow so
much in the moving pictures! The
question is asked by almost every
one who has been bitten by the bug
OF the moving picture show 1t is a
fact that in every scene where there
is half a chance OF getting up a
breeze it blows a tornado, or at least
a brisk gale disports itself i'll the
trees in the background and the
skirts OF the harassed heroine i'll the
'front.' \ moving picture man solv-
ed the problem.
That's easy he replied in answer
to query If the pictures were
taken when the air was perfectly still
then if the living characters happen
ed to be still also, the pictures would
be as dead looking as 35-cent chro-
mo of Twilight" So a time is Sc
lected for photographing the scenes
outside when the wind is playing old
hob with things generally, trees
swaying and skirts futtering and hair
tlying-haven't you noticed how
much more effective woman IS
when her hair is streaming behind
her like the burgce on a racing yacht ?
Then, too, when everythings busy
moving it looks like there's some

During the session OF the Federal

men were convicted for selling whiS-

lonas, 4 Greek boy who was gather
ed III by one OF the gum shoe men OF

await trial III this city
t. +, Ellis, one Of the local attor
ncye. who was selected TO defend the
man. received his client from Judg,

his case was a good deal like the rest,
that he would get the experience and
the man get his sentence. 1t all
went well till the trial. Mr. Ellis had
an interpreter and went into the case
Finally the local Reno detective was
placed on the stand. He told how
he witnessed the passing OF the bot
tie by the defendant to the Indian
and then now he pOunccd on the whlS
key seller and arrested him. Attor-
ncy Ellis commenced to ask ques-
tions. 1t was discovered that the
trade was made between the bumpers
oi some box cars standing on the
siding in the yard. The detective
stated that he was hidden under and
on the rear end oi the car Mr. Ellis
asked him ii he saw the transaction
which he said he did. Then the at
torncy wanted to know how it was
possible Tor any man without some
KIND oi patent eye TO see through 4
box car that was supposed to be III
good repair. AS the jury quickly
liberated Mr.. Greek they were evi-
dently OF the same mind as the attor-
ney and failed to realize how even a
Reno detective can look through :,
box car without even the doors being
opened.
