in the confidential night they will return

And again on February 2s. 1916, less than
two years before the new love came into
her life and she became Marquise Os-
soil, Miss Fuller wrote Mr.. Nathan: Your
letter from Rome is full of soul and sweet
ness as ever was yourself in the best
hours of our life together last spring.
When Margaret Fuller went abroad in
August, 1916, for some reason or other
Mr.. Nathan and she never met, but while
in Rome in the spring of lSi7 she met
the young Italian nobleman, Ossoli. He
was about 80 years old and is described
as having been gentlemanly, tall slender,
with dark hair and eyes, and with a cer-
tain melancholy n his face. They met at
St Peters, where he had offered to show
Margaret the way to find her friends
whom she had lost sight of in the vesper
service He fell passionately in love with
her, but when he asked her to marry him
she refused and went away.
On her return to Rome six months later
Ossol again pursued her. She had be-
come intensely interested in Italy for lib
erty and better government, and while
trying TO get him out of the traditions
of conservatism their arguments became
involved by various CLEANS of the eye
so dangerously near to the love look that
it was easy 20 jump from politics to
poetry And so they were married.
4n speaking of Ossoli's love for Mar
garet a writer says: his manner was
devoted and lover like to a striking de-
gree. No service was too trivial, no sac
rifice too great for him." Three years
after their marriage they decided to visit
America with their little daughter. Then
came the tragedy. When off Fire Island
in New York narbor, the vessel ground
ed, and when in sight of home. Margaret
her husband and baby were drowned, the
body of the child being the only one re-
covered. On the site of the wreck on a
little bronze tablet is THIS inscription by
Julia Ward Howe: Noble in thought and
she was inspiration to many of her own
time, and her uplifting influence abides
with u.s.

providing you have the time and patience
requisite for the process. Otherwise send
the plumes to professional to be curled.

Incidentally
Your eye falls on your "old hat and
you begin to wonder how on earth you've
had the nerve to wear it all the spring.
Also
The hats of the entire feminine popula-
ton, from that time forth, seem strangely
out OF joint, and you wish the world
would go and buy itself new hat for
haven't the fashionable" ones been
wearing theirs since early March and
here it is nearly summer time, and don't
theirs look almost as worn out and old
as yours of last years vintage?
You conhde your feelings to a friend.
She agrees with you entirely.
1T seems to me-" she says, that |
have never seen so many shabby looking
hats as in the last few days. They ali
look Old.
Which introduces the questions:
When is hat an antique?"
And
What makes a hat look old when it
isn't?"
Pain?
Hardly. No one pays much attention
to hats on rainy days or wears their
good ones.
Sun?
Neverl The most uninteresting, matter
of fact prosaic hat in existence is raw
ishing on beautiful sunshny day. Per-
haps it's the reflection of rosy cheeks
and sparkling eyesl
Wind?
Scarcely ever. No one knoweth or
careth about the manner Of hat her
| neighbor wears when trying to keep her
own on.
The real answer seems to be:
Good weather, after bad.
During the bad you have no chance to
notice how shabby your hat has really
become, and your spirit is at peace. It's
the good weather afterward that brings
out your hats true age
Every particle of dust every wrinkle

A black hat takes on.a sickly, grayish
tinge; plumes lose their curl; bows get 10
be perfectly wobbly spneless things. with
none of the daring coquetry that won
your affections at the beginning of the
season.
There are all kinds of things in this
wicked old world, but the saddest, most
hopeless of them all is an old hat.
I suppose thesremedy would be to have
a new hat for each month in the year.
but alas the present high cost of living
would never countenance such extrav-
agant behavior!
Most of us are thankful for just two
hats a season-an every day" one and
Sunday one.
It's awful, though, to be relegated in
this day and time to just two hats, for
ar unbecoming and worn looking hat Is
blot ON a civilized landscape, and as
such ought not to be contenanced by
public spirited women.
Let every woman who reads this please
examine her own hat. and II she feels
that II has grown old and seedy, repair at
once to the milliner's or else turn home
gardener and buy a fresh supply of
flowers and refurnish and thoroughly rem

blotting paper there until the material is
