One summer day in the year 1926

busily about their heads.
Mendelssohn said FLUSH 7" and lis

when the overture was finished, the

1t was a warm night at Ashury Park.
Mrs. Morris seemed to find the piazza
of the hotel much more comfortable
than the crowded ballroom. She was
also quite well aware that she made
more striking picture with the opales-
cent crystals Of her stunning evening
than she would In the glare and crowd
within. Then too the powder did not
melt off ones nose out there, and to be
purple and perspirng after one is
twenty-nine is to be avoided even when
one Is good-looking, and is not taken
for more than twenty-slx.
Dulcie Morris was not having as
good time as she had expected. To
have been three days at the seashore
without even so much as the beginning
of filtration was certainly some waste
of time and material in the way Of
handsome frocks. Mrs. Morris was
thinking over these things with some
disappointment, when lady she had
met at the hotel came toward her with
well dressed, and in the early thirties.
Mrs. Mears asked Mrs. Morris II she
might present the gentleman, and in
troduced him as Mr.. Locke from New
York.
Il do hope Mrs. Morris, you will
take pity on Mr.. Locke. He is quite
strange here, knows no one, and didn't
care to meet the girls in there, because
he says he is not a dancing man." And
Mrs Mears waved good night, and
sought the dancers.
II think you will be taking pity on
me-" said Dulcie Morris to the man
And smiling, she grnciously waved him
to chair which he lost no time in
taking. He murmured something about
her being very good, and how fortunate
he was, which Dulcie interrupted by
saying she could not see the pleasure

Velvet Hats for Fall.

Although you mny make your choice
among hats of many different shapes
the chances are that It will fall upon
something made of velvet, either plain
or paume-and that that something
will be simply trimmed. The capeline,
the casque, the toque and the turban
shapes, varied and interpreted in many
ways-they are all here. And they are
dressed up in velvet sometimes of two
kinds and often of two colors. Since
the matter of trimming Is easily dis
posed of that of making and draping
the hat may take much time.
Soft crowns are everywhere In
the first hat shown in the group above,

paume velvet. has a crown that is a
pun, accordion plated; both these
facts marking 1t a hat OF the hour. Its
trimming is an ornament OF jet and
