For many generations the Panama hat was woven in one shape. and 1t took much urging and good manage ment on the part of those who bought and imported the genuine South Amer ican Panama hat 10 persuade the ma tive makers 10 produce other shapes But finally this was accomplished and now one may buy a Panama in almost any shape. Not all the hats known by this name are South American prod ucts. (there are Panamas and Pana- mas), but whether made fin Japan or Connecticut, or brought from its ma tive home. the Panama is a beautiful product

It is made with the inten- crown, and for shading the eyes, as to the brim. But In the past few seasons it has been possible to get Panamas with very wide brims, and these have added one more to the number of wide-brimmed straws used for the picturesque fiower-laden millinery of midsummer.
 But the hat that is dearest to the heart of lovers of the Panama is that which keeps as close as possible to the original. mannish shape or a va

 An audit of the four district agri- cultural schools may be made by the legislative Investigating committee, according to Senator Geo. W. Garrett ehairman.

riation that does not seem to change its character. Three popular shapes selected from this seasons s showing Of Panamas are illustrated here They are to be recommended as practical and becoming and correct in type.
 These hats are usually very simply trimmed with bands of silk. ribbon or linen. Flat ,rosettes or hanging scarf ends arc favorite decorations. and not to be improved upon. The wide brimmed shapes are sometimes swathed with malines and finished with huge bows of this fabric. Occa sionally flowers or feathers adorn them But narrow -brimmed Panamas are trimmed in the simplest manner possible
 The fine South American Panama if well cared for. will stand many seasons wear. These hats can be cleaned and reblocked if one wishes to change the shape But 1t is better to swathe the hat in wide silk or chif ion scarf than to reblock it. and to wear 1t in its original shape. A hat so fine. So shapely and sensible will always look we'll.
 It seems a pity to wear out a hat whose making involves such pains taking and wonderful work, by using a hat pin. In a fine hat 1t Is better to sew hat fasteners in the band and secure 1t to the head in this way.
