THE great variety In hats made Of
z Jet combined with other materials,
gives reason to think that the jet
trimmed hat is destined to usher in
the spring and remain throughout the
summer. Already hats made of jet
and maline, or Jet and lace, with a
touch Of velvet in their composition,
have appeared, and, while appropriate
for present wear, they are airy
enough for summer. The jet hat does
not belong to one season but to all
Of them. It Is good investment in
millinery.
Many Of the new hats are quite
high. The shapes themselves are
moderate in height, but the trimming
gives the effect Of very high crowns.
This phase Of the new styles is liked
for the combination Of jet with ma
line or lace. Two hats of this kind
are shown here, both of the prettiest
of the latest models.
In one of them turban shape Is
developed with band of jet covering
the brim and a soft puffed crown of
maline. Over and around this crown
there Is a standing ruff1e Of maline
(doubled) supported by fine wires.
No other trimming is used. Such a
hat fsN useful at any season. Thanks
to the recent discoveries Of manufac-
turers, the maline Is not as fragile as
It looks. It has been made water
proof. The jet is one Of the few mil
linery materials that have lasting
qualities.
The model Of Jet and lace is also
turban shape. It is somewhat elongat-
ed and has a soft crown of silk and

stone combined are in great favor just
now. They are the last word in the
matter Of briliance and look well on
any color or mixture of .colors.
Besides the little vest there is the
girdle of brilliant silk ribbon or
piece goods, and the specially good
wide velvet ribbon. Plaids and Ro-
man stripes in such fascinative color
combinations that one instantly falls
in love with them, furnish many of the
girdles. Brocades are liked, but to
be worn at the same time as bril-
liant vest, the girdle of plain velvet
ribbon furnishes u: about, the best

are nearly always crushed bit. The

suggest ease and freedom.

Experts figure that Pittsburgh's

Sample tests made some time ago
in Chicago of the cost of the smoke
nuisance in that city showed that the
smudge bill exceeded the tax bill,
which was about $40,000,000 a year,
and the cost of smoke in other cities
is fully as great in proportion to the
size of the city.
This includes only the injury to
property. Doctors will tell you that
is the least damage. They will point
out how the smoke gets into the

gorgeousness meant to brighten UP
and lend lustre to the quiet garb-
If one owns coat suit Of good vel
veteen or satin or any other of the
popular suit fabrics, the separate vest
and girdle will tone it up to fit the
most exacting OF occasions. For the
afternoon tea-dance, the matinee, the
formal call, the club reception, in
fact, for functions to which one wears
a hat, the little brilliant vest and the
smart girdle make the suit impress

1t is a happy idea to have bit of
the same coloring in the hat worn with
these chic accessories. The small black
velvet hat has made opportunities for
the addition Of trimming to- haT-

maline. Handsome black Chantilly
lace is wired to stand up about the
crown. 1t Is slashed at each side and
outlined near the edge with a line
of jet spangles. A beautiful coronet
of jet extends about the brim, rising
to point at the front. Small bows
of black velvet ribbon are pulsed at
each side. Little bouquets are often
placed in this position, instead Of
bows. They are made Of little, fine
flowers or little fruits.
Quite the reverse of high, one Of the
small close-fitting caps of straw braid
is shown with band of Jet about the
edge. Nothing could be simpler in

ments, one at each side, consisting OF
a fiat cabochon into which spike of
jet is apparently thrust. In spite OF
its simple shape and construction, this
model ia smart and almost startlingly
novel.
There is no doubling the favor with
which these hats of jet have been re-
ceived by those who are the first to
buy spring millinery. They will be
worn during the whole season, but,
as no one is content to own but one
hat, after holding the center of the
stage for while, they will be rele.
gated to second place. with flower and
ribbon-trimmed millinery taking pre-
cedence.
A black hat should always be among
the belongings Of the well-dressed
woman, for there are times when it
is needed and nothing else will do
quite as well.

CHAPTER vi.

ssBroadway hurried to the angry and
disguised man and put his hand upon
his arm. He was rather badly funked
BY this uncompromising attitude.
t.."Wait minute, Bob" he urged.
'tDont go off like that. That was an
awful thing you just said to me. II
had a wild night. Give me chance
to<think."
.,<.s'AH right" said Wallace, not very
graciously. GO ahead-think! It's
about time you began to think"
He sank into a chair, his gloomy
face regarding Broadway with small
favor, his angry fingers tapping on a
table top.
Broadway was very nervous. Reali-
zation was becoming vivid of the fact
that he had not been wholly admirable
il his general course.
Don't you suppose I know it's a
shabby thing to do?" he urged. But,
great Scott! look at the fix I'm fn!'
!. Wallace made gesture of negation.
1t was clear that he refused to grant
that anything could excuse his friends
course with the WldOW.
You're not sore at me. Bob, are
you?" Broadway pleaded.
"1've said my say. You've heard my
opinion
DO you think everyone will feel
that way about it,"
"Of course

And Broadway did exactly as he or
dered. looking after him almost as a
child might after some one had as
sumed FULL charge Of tangled, Juvenile
affairs
Suddenly he realized that some out
standing, bills would not be among the
mass which Wallace was examining.
He would try. to :: get them in. He
wished to know the worst, now that
ne WAS. at it. Il He" went over to the
telephone and called UP a certain fa-

the. manager tosmake out his bill for

and let him know the total he sat

to one ear, and, when Rankin entered
