HATS THAT WILL BLOOM
IN THE SPRING.

Burnt ostrich plumes of every col

age of a green, messy sort"
Sounds like the %trousseau of an Afri-
can princess, doesn't it? But it isn't.
According to the Paris correspondent
of Harper's Bazaar, it is merely a few
of the things that will be used to trim
women's hats this spring.
Here is a brief extract from the ex-
elusive French fashion article in the
February issue of the Bazaar:
Fashioned partly of straw and part
ly of a sort of shaggy felt are some of
the new hats for spring. One new
model with a moderately high, rounded
square crown of coarse beige straw
has a brim, two inches all around, of
castor. A new toque is made of small
dull, blue flowers, closely sewn to a
tulle foundation, which is then draped
becomingly about the head and drawn
low over the eyes,"

GIRL RUNS "SHINE PARL0R"
Declares That She Has Lots of Cue

Makes Good Money.

AS the man with the Undiscovered
shoes climbed into a chair in a shoe
shining ~"parlor" in FIT. Wayne avenue,
relates the Indianapolis News, a neat,
trim-looking colored girl came briskly
out of a back ROOM.
"Good morning." replied the pros
pective customer. "Where's the shoe
shiner?"
"That's me. I'm the sinner"
"Is that so? Well, you are the first
girl I ever saw shining shoes. Like
the business?"
Indeed, | do. 1t pays me well and
we are all looking for the money these
days."
"How did you happen to get into
this kind of work."
"Well, 1t was like this. My cousin,
who owns this place, runs a transfer
wagon. He is away so much he had to
have somebody stay here and answer
the telephone and look after the bust
ness. He tried boys for a while, but
they are all gone to war Or talking
about it and it was hard to keep them,
so he gave me the job. This used to
be a shining parlor and so many men
came in asking for shines that l de-
cided to get into the business myself.
1t didn't take me long to get onto it,
and now I have lots of customers"

Is there a better Mother than that?
If so, every Mother wants to be that

that rarely has there Deen a great
man who didn't have a great Mother.

1.-The Little Teacher" the charming
comedy of rural life from the pen of
Harry James Smith, who is best known

The tremendous success scored by
this sparkling characterization of the
country life, with its heart throbs, is

Ryan, whose brilliant art was never
more apparent than in her portrayal

standard by which all future portray
ais of the real, lovable American girl
must be judged.
