BIG HAT AND LITTLE
RIVALS FOR FAVOR;
MILITARY IN TONE
Tricorne, With Cockade or
Stiff Feathers, Particularly
Well Liked by Those
Who Can Wear 1t.

There are two kinds of hat today, the
very small and the very large. The
small hat is dashing and very often mill
tary. for there are Russian turbans,
Scotch bonnets, continentals and thel
tricorne, that is welcomed so eagerly by
the women who can wear ii.
The tricorne assumes a very martial
air this season. it appears with cock
ade or staff feather standing erect
The Scotch bonnet has the rosettc or
eagle feather or even a tassel for orna-
mcnt.
on the Russian turban there are gall
looms of metallic appearance and motifs
that are very warlike in design
These, with the tailleur or trotteur
frpck, still have the pas, although the
canoter, by which name was revive tho
idc-brimmed sailor, appears determined

affection.
of famous milliners, although colors, such
as grape and taupe and tete de negro,
have q vogue Of their own.
And, Just as the small hats take
dashing or jaunty air, picturesque is the
word to apply to the hat with the wide
brim, of the kind that has long been
known as the Gainsborough
il is hat that comes and goes as
certainly as an ocean tide, and i'm spite
OF the ban of disapproval or even the
high tariff. ostrich feathers or tips are
almost certain to be used for trimming.
The hat shown in the illustration today
belongs unmistakably to the picture and
portrait class
II has the wide brim, slightly curved
to soften the effect and faced with chif-
fon. This is corded on the edge and at
a depth of a few inches and it is shir-
red as well.
Against the soft crown two ostrich
feather tips are placed Where they come
together, a little at one side, there Is n
soft chouX of chiffon to match the fac
ing.
1t is designed to wear at an angle,
which, of course, adds greatly to it's
style and at the same time displays the
chiffon underbrm.
Tho color scheme is tete de neere rs to
crown and upper brim. while the chiffon
facing is of a delicate rose. and the os-
trich tips were chosen of the same del
icate tint.

The toy industry has made such pro-

fathers fishing line. Taking a piece of
meat out of the iceboX, Freddie went
fishing.
He cast the line out the front window
of his parents third floor fiat. For some
time he failed to have any luck, and
Freddie began to doubt the fish stories
told by his father.
Suddenly he got a bite that an old
time fisherman would call whale. Fred
die pulled and the fish" let out scream.
He pulled again, and a second scream
aroused the neighborhoOd.
Freddie never had heard of fish
screaming, so he leaned out of the win
dow to have look. On the end of his
line he saw Mary Hall, years old,
residing on the first floor of the building.
Freddie dropped his line. Neighbors
cut the line and Mary Hall was taken
to the City Hospital in auto patrol No.

her head.

Poor little Mrs Robin wanted so
