fainly would be that of a matchmaker
Yet little Dan Cupid is no respecter OF

any room inside for the proprietor.
He was sitting in his old rocker just

IT Is A curious thing--the number OF
pretty hats that are spoiled by the
manner in which they are worn.
have seen the most charming styles
in millinery, seen good-looking wom-
en- buy them, and then seen the whole
effect spoiled by adjusting the hat
at a wrong angle.
It would be hard to give any rules
for wearing a hat-each hat has It's
own set of rules, and each wearer
takes a different manner Of using
them. AS a general thing, though, q
hat looks better worn at a slight
angle-for some reason. a hat placed
straight on the head, or worn SO that
the lines Of the brim cut a straight
line across face and hair, is extreme
~ unbecoming. Possibly this sudden
~ broken-off line gives the effect Of
lid set atop the head.
Nature Is all curves, you know.
Hogarth, the great German painter.
said the curve was the line Of beauty
consequently, the hat with the soft
brim and the irregular lines is by far
the most becoming one to choose. II
the brim be straight, the effect can
be gained somewhat by slanting the
hat to an angle. ~.
Youthful faces look best In broad
and foppy hats-or very small, snug
shapes. Faces growing old and
sagged q bit look best with a fairly
broad hat, but not "floppy" one
because the wide brim casts shadow
over the features, softentng them.
Wells are becoming to the maturing
woman, too-they tone down the
lines.
The older the face, the softer the
hat should be. Only very young and
very beautiful faces can stand the
stir straws and the severe silk tall
ored hats-older faces, even when
the woman is only around thirty
look best when feathers break tho
hard edge Of the hat.

MANY PAPERS MAY QUIT.

The paper The Spectator is printed on this week is very much thinner than it was a few weeks ago, yet it cost about twice as much. All paper we use in the office has advanced from 35 to 70 per cent since last fall and the market is getting so un- steady that the wholesale houses refuse to guarantee any orders for more than three months ahead. In some cases it is al- most impossible to to get the paper. So you see the printer has his troubles as well as a human. which should be an in- ducement for everybody to hasten in and pay the printers what they owe them. We predict that unless the people keep the printers paid up and the price of paper advances any more, there will not be so many weekly papers in Arkansas this time next year as there are now.
 And hy-the-way this reminds us that we have several deiin- quent subscription accounts our selves. Our few thousand dol lars capital invested in The Spectator will not permit us to carry too many accounts on our ledger and we will either be compelled to cut off all delin- quents or raise our supscription price to $I. 50 instead of $1 per year. We're giving a valuable

EDITORIAL COMMENT
OWEN FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

Newspapers all over Oklahoma are boosting Robert L. Owen, U. s. Senator from the OK state for the vice presidency and all who knowSenator Owen are unanimous in the opinion that no better or stronger man could be selected. Practically, if not all of the demo- cratic committees of Oklahoma have indorsed Owen and he is receiving much favorable con- ment from the newspapers and political circles of other states. The Spectator editor has known Mir. Owen since 1907 and he has made good. He is today probably one of the best-known men in the U. $. Senate; he is a man of power and has always been found on the right side of every question.
 It Is the belief of men who are close to Senator Owen, that if President Wilson desires him as his running mate in the coming campaign the senator will ac- cept the nomination. It is also the opinion of some of the sena- tors closest friends that the president will indicate to mem- bers of the national democratic convention that Senator Owen s name on the ticket for vice presi- dent will be pleasing to him. It is understood that MT. Mar shall will not be a candidate; that he prefers to stand for the senate in Indiana. The head of the ticket is usually consulted as to available timber for second place. Senator Owen is a man of remarkably strong personality. He is a real American with the blood of the proud Cherokees coursing through his veins. His name is connected with the most popular legislation passed during the Wilson administration the Owen-Glass currency bill. Sen ator Owen. it is understood, does not look upon the vice pres idency as a place for putting a statesman in cold storage, but as a position offering large oppOr- tunities for usefulness. The vice president does not have to sit in the senate chamber like a knot on a log unless he chooses to do so. It is his right to par ticipate in the proceedings of the body. A man of Senator Owens type as vice president would be prominent factor in the deliberations of the senate.
