Felt Hats.

Blocked felt hats, it is thought in
some quarters, will come in for a big
portion of popularity next winter for
the reason that so many women have
gone into business and are dressing
either in uniform or in very business
like clothes. Really the only hats that
look well with these trig. clothes are
those which are blocked, and, while not
exactly stiff, still have a deal of for
mality and dignity about them. A new
one was seen, in beaver felt, with q
high crown and narrow brim that
rolled at the back and tipped down
over the face at the front. 1t had a
single ornament of the same shade at
the left side front, and not even a
band around the crown. This hat would
have made lovely finish for blue
serge suit and its wearing possibilities
would have been boundless.

NO FOOTBALL AT HAVERF0RD
Fears That Pastime Would Interfere
With Military Course Cause Aban-
Comment of Game.

After tenure of almost forty years
the great American game of football
will be abolished at Haverford college
this season. 1t was believed that the
pastime would materially interfere
with the students army training
course. Wednesdays and Saturdays,
both big days for football, will be de-
voted to military work. Interclass
games alone will struggle for existence.
An entirely different program has
been adopted by Swarthmore, which
was approached on the subject. Here
the schedule will be played out as
planned, unless government regula-
lions forbid such procedure, which is
unlikely.
According to Dean Alexander of
Swarthmore, "the students need recre-
alton and as football provides the nee
essary sport the institution will, if pos
sible, continue competition"
The annual struggle with Haverford,
which must now be abandoned, came
as rather severe blow to the Garnet,
but failed in any way to alter it's de-
termination to see it through. DR.. Roy
Mercer will be retained and the sport
run on the, best basis possible.

When the snow flies it will be met
by such rich and adequate headwear
as appears in this group of winter
time hats. 1t is something Of a para
dox to call this a season of brilliant
millinery when dominant colors are
quiet, with only two or three among
them that can be described as bright.
But along with cold weather come
metal brocades and fur. They are spar
ingly used, but even SO carry the sug-
gestion. that belongs to rich stuffs.
Millinery borrows splendor from
them.
But millinery deserves to be called
brilliant without consideration Of the
colors favored by fashion. Shapes are
really wonderful, the most subtly art
full and the most becoming that can
be imagined. They are brilliant in
themselves and the craftsmanship Of
trimmers deserves the same adjective.
In the group there are four hats and
three of them are small or medium /;
one is large. But the small hat pre-
dominates in greater proportion
than three to One. Two Of these mod
els are designed for street wear and
two are more formal-but they are all
very wearable-that is, they can be
made to do much service. At the up
per left of the group hat of gray
velvet with upturned brim is faced
with Hudson seal and trimmed with
a big fat cabochin in black and gray.
If only one new hat is to be allowed
the mfd-winter wardrobe this would
be a good choice.
Just below this model is a wide
brimmed hat of black velvet, with a
tiara drapery about the crown of black
and silver gray brocade, edged with a
band of beaver. With all this reserve

So Many Youthful Stars Have Risen

Golfers Are Sidetracked.

There was time when golf was con-
sidered an old mans game, but this no
longer holds good. So many youthful
stars have risen in the last few years
that the older men have had their
noses put out of joint.
Not long ago the average age OF the
crack golfer was between thirty and
forty, but this is not the case at pres"
ent, the majority of the great players

some of them death for lack of cloth

"They must be helped, he contin-

clothing in America. 1t can come only
from us. Your first campaign yielded
magnificent results, bringing in fully
5000 tons of clothing in good condi-
ton. But much more is needed if
these war-ravaged people are to get
through the winter in decency and
safety. In the face of brutal coercion
and spiritual suffering they remain
splendidly courageous. This courage
challenges our charity. Let us match
