Birds and animals in the wool crawl
over the crowns, and the brims are
invariably finished in old-fashioned
quilt-stitch, varied in length to make
a design.
With white linen and cretonne cos
tunes, Mistress Mary" cretonne hats
make a smart finish. These need no
trimming, the bright colors being
gay enough for any summer land
scape, whether mountains, country or
shore.
Sports hats come from odd hooks
and corners. The latest, a dark blue
taffeta, is decidedly Chinese in asm-
pect. 1t has a sloping brim, with a
soft edge an inch wide that flaps
down and shades the face. dented on
one side with heavy balls suspended
from the ends Of cord tied around
the crown. Scotland contributed the
tam, and there is soft hat made
completely of narrow bias strips of
silk that is finding favor under a

officer and employee of the Southern
Railway Company received tele-
gram from President Fairfax Harri-
son expressing his appreciation of
and pride in the work accomplished
by the entire organization during the
fiscal year closing June 80. The tel
egram was as follows:
ITO All officers and Employees:
I'VE are closing today fiscal year
which has been full of anxiety and
difficulty. but through team work
and loyal self-sacrifices and effort by
the entire organization we have come
out of it sound and full of courage
for the future. This result has not
been due to any one man or to any
group of men, but to the co-opera-
ton of every man who has recognized
the problem and given us in our
common duty the best that was in
him. I send my personal thanks to
every one of you. The fight is not
yet over, but the spirit of the past
ten months is bound to see us
through. Meanwhile, l want you to

been done already"

At the present time, hats come UNI

hats will gain in brilliance. Aldeady

PHOSPHATE FOUND IN
JOHNSON COUNTY

Mountain City, Tenn. July H.
There is great enthusiasm over the
prospects of phosphate which has
been recently discovered in Johnson
country in large quantities of good
quality. 1t is stated that some of it
tests as high as 80 per cent phos-
phate.
Phosphate is worth from six to
eight times as much as coal and if
the inrications predict rightly this

give some two by four would be or

if they will borrow geography they
will notice that Johnson is in the ex-
IRENE eastern part of the state, and
she is blest with the purest of pure
air and 1.-The clearest of clear" water,
with an average elevation of $500
feet above the sea.
In a recent edition of the Southern

There have been several men here

prospectsa nd they all are silently
but enthusiastically investigating the

comfort.

Their very oddly is the lure that
makes them popular. What matters
a coat of tan If the hat is woven with
holes to duplicate the head-dress OF
the man that pulls the jinrikisha In
Japan?
Even the woman who is conserva-
tive with her dress and suit, casts
wisdom to the winds above the shoul-
der line. What lies above bespeaks
the true woman who, in her heart OF
hearts, loves the fantasies of fashion.
The demure Quaker and the saucy
"Chin-C Chin" collars, the flappy hat
and stiff-brimmed sailor, even the
plug hat of silk beaver frings that
Mrs. Vernon Castle made famous at
the races, appeal to those of us who
like something different"
The made breathes romance, and
romance is what fashion thrives on.
Every hat and every collar awakens
a memory or tells new tale. 1t is
interesting to note that the Quaker
collar has it's origin in the collar of
the mans costume. How sandalized
the shades of the old-time Quaker
and Puritan must be ia see their col
lars made IN frivolous organdy, Swiss
and cretonne! Jabots and frills come
from another period, when French
courtiers wore furbelows. In mod
ern times, Sara Bernhard gives her
famous youth-giving frill to the high
collar; while the flaring half collars
that are still shown on dresses and
waists harp back to portrait or
Shelley. Nor is the mode without
humor; "Chin-Chin' collars aimed at
a giddy masquerade costume, have
gone far of the mark and appear on
coats.
Past modes are drawn on for hats,
too. In an exclusive shop, just off
the Avenue, one of the yihls Of the
younger set ordered a garden hat the
other day of white chip. with a py-
ramid of pinp roses-the exact du-
plicate of the hat her great great
grandmother wore when she tripped
across the lawns at the capital, All
these garden hats of lefhorn and Mi
Ian recall Colonial days. Even the
''rikisha." imporkted in spirit from
Japan, smacks of this style when it
is trimmed with roses, the black var
nished cord of which 1t is made con-
trasting with the light frocks,
Broadly speaking, the hats of the
seasona re divided into four classes;
these portrait-fashion garden hats,
stiff-brimmed sailors that bespeak
the past or the present, according to
the materials and trimmings; the
sports hats, borrowed from the four
corenrs of the globe, and last, but
not least, the cocky turbans, which
show the martial note in millinery.
The stiff brimmed sailors are a
chapter in themselves. Already the
straws are on the wane. Chiffon
brims we are tired of, and SO the at
tention naturally turns to sailors of

Transparent hats and furs, velvet
head-gear and low necks-these are
some of the things in the summer
fashions that men question, and even
O few women come up to and shy at,
as the thermometer scars skyward.
The little maiden with her "rikisha"
hat goes serenely on; the girl with
the white for furs hugs them more
closely, and the wearer of the velvet
hat sedately raises a parasol. Such
matters are beyond the comprehen-
sion of mere man or the woman who
was brought up to view clothes for
comfort.
