fashion in which all should walk II
they would be in the procession, there
is the more genial, broad highway, in
which all types are jostled and min
gled and call themselves in the fashion,
All the hats of the hour are on this
broad highway, and that suits the
majority.
No matter what a woman chooses,
she has some master designer back of
her choice. To begin with fabrics, she
may keep loyal to velvet, or she may
dip into the caprice Of the moment as
it is expressed by angora, braid or
even serge.
She may insist upon satin from now
until next April, and she may choose
it in any color that harmonizes or cor
responds with her gown. She may feel
inclined to avoid felt, for it Is so little
In the picture.
AS for ornamentati0n, she may adopt
1t If she likes the idea. II she prefers
simplicity, she has three dozen or more
French hats at her disposal.
If she likes ostrich feathers, she may
join in with the 'Arriets of London and
buy herself big, thick, curled one,
place 1t on her head, and feel herGelf
as correctly plumed as was Henri
Quatre. She cannot buy paradise be-
cause Of a law that is greater :han
that Of fashion, but she has a piante-
Gus supply Of hacked, monkey klr or
goura to take Its place. She Will also
find that shredded taffeta is cousIdered
as ornamental as dahlias on a ccfban,
and she will soon realize that rooth-
brush fringe can be used to flicker over
the surface of any hat, with good
results.
Question Of 5rims and CrHWr1s.
Suppose she is concerned about the
shape of her hat and If she isn't she
should at once take the lesson of first
aid to the ignorant. If her face de-
mands wide brim, let her choose TINT
shape, and she will find that each mil
liner has made at least three bats to
suit her fancy.
There are irregular brims; there are
brims that slope upward on one side
and downward on the other, with the
perllous side tip of an airplane when
the observer wishes to see what is
happening below.
The milliners take it for granted
that every woman does not wish to
conceal the upper part of her face,
even though fashion has gone to the
most extreme limit in that line, so
there are hats that roll straight away
from tight headband and spread out
to astonishing proportions when they
take the air. They are draped, or they
are made exactly like nice thick
cream puff, with a bunch Of foolish or
daring little feashers coming out Of the

"Only Real Colored Paper"

There is such thing as over
doing it. " Sometimes in our mad
rush to discourage another, we
send forth a boomerang WHICH re-
turns and injuries ourselves.
A certain contemporary that
claims to be published in this state
and against which we have never
before published word, directly
or indirectly, in a recent attempt
to boost itself at the expense Of
others and thus stem the tide that
has set in against it, has attacked
our Race loyalty, not openly but
by innuendo. 1t says: Remem-
Der this is the only real colored
paper circulated in Milwaukee,. "
We would absolutely ignore the
assertion if we could bring our
selves to believe that the writer
meant to convey no other mean
ing than the mere words imply,
We would even admit it since he
50 boldly claims it, and the paper
itself 50 clearly confirms the claim.
" Real coIored" is correct. 1t is
even more than that. Ask the
public; it knows.
Cur only excuse for this edi-
torial is the covert attack upon
our Race loyalty. The Blade does
not call itself "Colored' paper.

Reliable Method Of Hair Cure

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about US and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. II we are very
careful in hair washing. we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather. one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair that dis
solves and entirely removes all
dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can
easily be used at trifiing expense BY
simply dissolving a teaspoonful Of
Canthrox (Which you can get at any
druggists. in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of Just the
top Of the head. This chemically dis
solves all impurities and creates a
soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and plant. while the hair takes on
the glossy richness of natural color,
also a fiuffiness which makes It seem
much heavier than 1t is. After Can
