THAT TILT.
A Discourse on the Simple
Art of Posing Your Hat.

When it to placing a hat cor.
rectly, or, better still, smartly and at
tractiyely on the head, the wisest mil
liper and the best mirror have their
limitations as first aid.
The milliners say what the doctors
say to their patients who have nervous
troubles-that the salvation lies in
ones self. not in any outside aid. Prac.
tice does not make perfect, nor even
skillful in every case. There are wo-
men who pick up the art when they
are mere infants as though they had
brought the knowledge with them from
another sphere. There are others,
equally intelligent, who do not learn ii
until they die. and possibly not after
that.
The woman who boasts that she
drops into her clothes at the ring of 6
bell and is off to her duties always
bears strong evidence of her rapid per
Torrance. She may be proud of hei
facility, but she has no reason fol
pride in the result.
Well. at least there is this to be SAID
in regard to the fashionable pose: 1t IL
the simplest thing that the miliners
have demanded In several seasons.
That rakish tilt or the succession Of
tits that has governed millinery dur
ing the last few years was difficult
beyond measure to achieve. The genus
which we call 1apper for want of a
real name could do this tilt to perfec-
ton, no matter how often 1t changed,
as she could do the latest and most
complicated dance step.
When France sent us word that hats
would be pliable and without regular
form the news was not received with
especial delight, for 1t was thought that
the effect would be negligible, too diff
cult of graceful adjustment owe the
irregular features of the average
American face.
We did not look far enough forward
or backward In taking this view, for
the hats which France was copying
were from the era of picturesque fash
ions for men. Women's hats were not
of any Importance then; in truth, there
were head coverings mat reached from
the primitive band that the early fash
ionables invented to keep the hair out
of the eyes, and later the towering
headdress that was built up of every
thing the wardrobe contained, to Judge
from the pictures of them that remain.

Electrical Gifts

The many devices seen on the well
appointed table are now operated by
electricity rather than by alcohol.
With the cheapening of the current or
a special rate for household use it is
more economical to operate chafng
dishes, ETC., with current than in any
other way. One of the attractive sets
seen in the stores is q three piece af-
fair, consisting of stove, chafing dish
and toaster. The pieces are all similar
in design, and the stove is large enough
to accommodate a small teakettle, a
saucepan or a skillet. The toaster has
an improved rack above the toaster
proper on which toast may be kept hot
without burning. The set comes in
nickel finish or in copper, complete
with cords and plugs. This set is in
fact a complete Kitchen equipment"
only 1t may be used at the table.
Therefore for the who does her
own work or serves her WI neHfs =
would make a most attractive present.
Another novelty is a hair drying comb
which may appeal to any woman The
comb is quite like the usual large hair
dressers' comb and is fitted with cur
rent so that as the comb is passed
through the hair the current dries it
at the same time.
Another electric device is a small
hand hair drier which can be Instantly
fitted to any socket and espeis Il gentle
current of warm air. Tie bulb can be-
passed under or above tile hair g7d
will dry hair in about six s..inlaes
thoroughly. Three grades Of heat can
be obtained.
Many a h~ousekeeper has said 80 her
self again and again that she wished
she could afford an electric iron. Now
is the chance for some member of the
family to give her the iron as n Christ
mas present.
Many of the irons on the market are
heavy, but n of the best seen recent
ly has a very pointed edge and is ex-
ceedingly well made, SC that the heat
is distributed at the point and edges,
just where it is needed in ironing.
There is absolutely nc danger in u.s.
ing an electric iron, and the moment
the plug is removed the current stops,
so that there is no waste expense.
The better irons now have a little
attachment which will prevent the
cord from becoming bent where it
joins the iron. Some of the new irons
have covers in addition, which Still
better conserve the heat.
In general the price of electric irons
is about 81, complete with cord and
plug, and members of a family could
do nothing better perhaps than unite
in giving some mother such a gift.

Gay Bird. of the oIden Time.

Extravaganza In dress prevailed in
the reign of Edward Ill, who ascend
ed the English throne early In the year
1927.
Men then wore silk hoods, particol-
ored coats with deep sleeves and mar
row waists, short hose, long pointed
shoes, bushy boards and tails of hair
at the back of their heads.
"The ladies'" says a poet of that
period, ARE like %peacocks and mag

In the process of etching ones name

four to six parts of water, according to
depth of etching desired. First cover
the steel to be etched with a ground

In the early days of baseball white

sometimes going into 100 runs. When
the Mutuals in 1870 shut out the Chi
Cages, the score being 0 to 0, it created
an excitement all over the country, the
memory of which lasted for more than
a score of years. Occasionally even
now we hear of a team Being "Chi-
GAGGED"
Because of the radical changes in the
rules of the game it would be rather
misleading to measure present stand
ards with the models set up in IAN
Gent" days. Modern baseball his
tory begins In 1890.
In the major leagues National league
and American association big shutout
scores had been registered In the an
cient days-28-0 in 1888, 24-O in 1885
and 1887 and $50 in 1883. But the
record n modern history is 1910 in the
Nation& league and 21-0 in the Ameri-
can.
Three times in the National league a
score of 1910 was turned in. The first
was made on July 10, 1893, in a game
In Pittsburgh, the Pirates shutting out
the Washingtons by these figures.
Three years later, nearly to the day
July 8, 1896. the feat was repeated,
the Pirates again shutting out the
Washingtons, 1910.
The third 1910 game was played at
New York on June Z, 1906, Chicago de-
feating the Giants.
In the American league Detroit shut
out Cleveland, 21-0, on Sept. Is, 1901,
and on Aug. 81, 1907, New York shut
out Washington, 300. = Philadelphia

just Before
Christmas Day

Last night when we were at tea the
little fellow said:
Paw, what r all those packages
hid beneath your bed?"
I almost choked upon my food and
mother simply smiled
As though to say we're bringing up
a very knowing child.
He's waiting for me at the door
when I get home at night.
I try to sneak into the house and
not turn on the light
And get upstairs before I doff my
overcoat and hat,
But he is Johnny on the spot, with
"Paw, oh, what is thatg"
He's cycling me suspiciously. I real
ly think he tries
With all his youthful artfulness to
take me by surprise.
He hasn't intimated yet that he has
found us out,
But eyes and ears are open wide
whenever we're about.
I spelled a phrase to mother once,
and then he promptly said:
II guess it's time now, nav, for me
to go upstairs to bed,
An I suppose that you an paw will
talk out when TIM gone"
I'd make an affidavit that the little
rascal's on.

White is the frost upon the fir,
n white the rhine upon the thorn.
An ashen cloud, with threat of snow,
Has yelled the eyes of morn.
The wind is like a burdened heart
Tha may not still its plaintive moan,
And sobs behind the wooded hills
In eerie undertone.
And yet within the chimney's throat
The backlog sings with lyric glee,
And there is sound of children's mirth
And buoyant minstrelsy.
And down the spacious aisles of air
Triumphant music sinks and swells.

WHAT Ais YOU, GRIFFIN?

Dear Sir: | read the Jeff. and I
do admire your stand on Catholicism
and the other matters, but one thing
want you to call attention O is some
thing you have failed to do so far in
the Jeff.
There are several Catholic people
here in Griffin, CIV. They came here
and settled and put up little stores,
and the people here just flock to
them, and they soon are able to buy
property and build stores, and are
getting hold right here. Of course
they are quiet and polite, but they
are all Catholic and are getting
ahold of part Of our town. That is
the way they do in all countries ,un-
TIL they get strong enough to rule.
u believes Rome helps them to pros
per.
Now what looks strange to me is,
people here read your paper and say
you are right, and they curse the
Catholic, but let one put up a store
and those very people will give them
their trade in preference to one of
their own people and one of their
own friends. You see they help to
build up Catholic in place of their
own people.
Now what l want you to do is to
enlighten your friends here in Crit
lin, Ga, on the very same subject
OF trading with Catholics if you want
to do good, which I believe you do,
just open the eyes of your friends
here in Griffin. You have lots of
them here, but we are slow to learn.
Wishing you long life and happi-
ness. l am your friend,
