Sober Uses of Time.

For all the fond and earnest inquiries
Of the pSychists, we are no nearer a
true knowledge of disembOdied per-
sOnality than we have ever been since
PythagOras. Primary origin, or crea-
ton, is as profound n mystery to US
as ever. The world alone is ours, and,
living, it limits our scopes and hopes.
Why are we In such mortal hurry
TO waste our estate in our first years
of its possession? Let us, in heavens
name, slow down, disintegrate and re-
cover. before too late, our ancient
sense of the sweet and sober uses of
time

.ree Fabric Covered Hats

The small hat appears to be firmly
intrenched In the good graces of wO-
mankind for it Is flOurishing and has
fourished for many season. Its
nearest rival is the sailor in several de-
velOpments. The sailor we have al
ways with us, subjec to notifications
from season to season. 1t is about the
most staple thing in the ever-changing
world of millinery.
Hats covered with fabrics and hats
fabric are featured this season for
early spring wear. There is liking
for brilliant surfaces, hence satin and
bright-finished straws make up a
considerable part of the displays. But
for the sake of variety and because X
is beautiful fabric, crepe georgette
holds It's own among the hats of the
hour.
In the group above the center hat
is sailor covered with white and
apple green crepe. The crown is
heightened and softened by fold of
crepe set about the top. An embrOid-
cred medallion in vivid colOrs against
q deep cream ground is applied to the
crown with gold threads.
A satln-covered turban NJ the left
is one Of few models that have ali
upturned brim ut the back. This makes
a background for a tall, fancy feather
posed with smart stiffness against 1t.
The third hat is Of heavy black satin
with peculiarly curved brim. Heavy

Was the Seaport Of PhiIippi.

In Roman days kaVala was known
as Neapoiis, and it was here that St
Paul landed on his way from SamO-
thrace to Philippi. where there was a
thriving colony of Christians To whom
the EpiStle to the Philippians was adj
dressed. Prior to the beginning of the
Christian era NeapOllS was the seaport
of Philippi, whose ruins are to be
found some ten miles from shore on
Here the fleet of Brutus and Cassius
was at anchor during the famous CON
tict on the fields of Philippi in II Il.
G., when the aSSaSsinS of Julius Caesar
met defeat at the hands of the legiOns
commanded by Antony and Octavius.
Philppi was named for Philip II of
Macedonia, father of Alexander the
Great. and was originally known as
Crenides (FOuntainS). 1t owed its i'm
pOrtance TO the proximity of the hill of
Dionysius, where Philip had made HIM
self master of valuable gold mines.
