Transparent Brown Hats Are Chic.

Notwithstanding her traditional at
tachmcnt for her brOad-brimmed black
picture hat, of maline or silk velvet,
satin or velour, the Frenchwoman Of
1917 has discovered that far more be-
coming and a great deal more pictur-
esque is the transparent brown hat
trimmed with paradise, with ethereal
bows of tulle or silk illusion or bound
only with narrow brown velvet ribbon.
Golden brewn hats are seen on the
very smartest womensfn Paris NOW. In
New York, too, they are beginning to
find favor, and 1t Is only remarkable
that no one has thought to exploit
them before.

,.lsnd of St. Thomas.

Commercially, the most important feature of our recently acquired Dan ish West Indies Is the fine harbor at Charlotte Amalie, on the island of St. Thomas, according to a commercial survey of the islands by agents of the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce of the department of commerce. This survey emphasizes the conven- 3eIce of the harbor as distributing santer for all of the Lesser Antilles.
 1t lies on the direct line of communi- cation between Europe and the Pan- anna canal, as well as in direct line for vessels plying between the Atlantic ports of the two Americas or between the Atlantic and Pacific ports of these continents, It is 1 400 miles from New York. 1000 miles from. the Atlantic en- trance of the Panama canal and 480 miles from, La Guaira, the chief port of Tsnezuela. It's location commands the Virgin passage to the Caribbean sea, the easternmost gateway to that body of water.

s6snese Dinners.

m the matter of eating it is agreed that the Japanese cuisine is not of the richest in nutritive quality. It is not inexpensive; Japanese dinners are elab- crate in preparation, artistic in pre- sentation, but for satisfying the inner man are far inferior to European or even. Chinese cooking. The chief char acteristic of purely Japanese dinner is to please the eye, not the palate or stomach. It Is a national joke that one must eat meal before going to or after returning from a Japanese din- ner.
 Oh, how much labor and expense are lavtshed on q gochiso (entertainment) to make 1t nice to look at! This Is all sheer waste and luxury and is to be condemned. Providence has kindly put in the power of every Japanese to live i'm the most economical manner, 50 the Japanese dinner is |. a sblasphemous abuse of providential benencence. It is an anachronistic relic of feudalism, reminiscent of the morbid tastes of idle, luxurious overlords! A monstrous fact Is that these customs are not 90 ing out of fas2ien. .-Saito Man in Japan Advertiser. t
