Jet as a garniture of spring hats
is being seen on the best of heads.
Combined with the outstanding tulle
.uchings it is decidedly effective, par
ticularly when it ornately embellished
the straight, collar like band that
forms the basis of the crownless cha
peau.
In lieu of the banned aigrette and
Paradise some ingenius modistes have
evolved limitations out of jet but the
results have proved formidably stiff
and bristly. If your hair ripples and
waves, however, you should by all
means get you jetty headdress.

Sensation Of Early Days Is Recalled
by Visit Of Wash Kyzar to

ment with a neighbor's wife, says
the Jackson News.
In speaking of the matter yester.
day. a former Lincoln county man
now residing in Jackson, who now
| is in the prime Of middle life but
who at the time of the elopement
was mere youth. recalled the
incidents which the return of Ky-
ger revived.
"At the close of the civil war, ;,
he said. the Kyzar family was one
of the prominent families of Lin
coin county. Young Wash Kyzar.
a dashing and popular southerner
of the old school, paid court to a
handsome young lady of the county
who returned his love. Parents
objected however, and the match
was broken off. Both Kyzar and
the young lady married and raised
families. They resided on plaLta-
tions not more than a mile apart
near the little town of Bogue Chit
to. Some thirty years ago, after
both had raised families. Kyzar
and the wife of his neighbor eIoped,
their youthful love evidently hav-
ing never waned. Kyzar left his
wife and a family of three chill
dren. He was the owner of one of
the finest plantations in the county
and one Of its most well-to-do citi-
zens. The woman. who was the
mother of some eight or ten chill
dren left her home. taking her
baby and one boy with her.
From the day they left Lincoln
county until shortly before Kyzar's
return, neither had ever set foot
in Mississippi. nor were their
whereabouts known. A short time
ago. however, it was learned that
the woman had died in Oklahoma,
where the pair had been living.
The deserted husband. shortly
after the elopement of his wife,
became mentally deranged. and all
through the years which have fol-
lowed, be has suffered frequent,
though temporary lapses of sanity.
Both families continue to re-
side in Lincoln county, where Kyzar
still retains the ownership Of his
