between SEASON
HAT IS VERY
POPULAR

Three or four seasons ago It would
hats at this time of the year. In fact,
some brave and daring votaries of
fashion usually wore them before
ChristmasI But last year and this
year there has grown up a change
of feeling regarding the desirability
of rushing the seasons. Last autumn,
you remember. women were ex-
tremely deliberate about discarding
their summer hats for those of win
ter design and fabric, And SO it will
probably be with the spring hats,
But there have been women for weeks
past who have SO far disregarded the
spirit of these war times as to ven-
ture for them with hats Of straw,
Women who are going to some
southern resort to spend the late win
ter weeks naturally do buy spring
hats far ahead of season and that is
quite natural when as a matter OF
fact they are getting into spring
ahead of time.
There is always one very good rea-
son for wishing to rush the season in
millinery, 1t holds good especially
with the woman who through choice
or necessity spends little on her
clothes, And that is the fact that
winter hats usually go to pieces in an
alarming manner some time shortly
after the first of the year. One can
by dint of little repairing make
them last few weeks more, but to
have them at all pFesentabls through
February and March seems out of the
question. And the woman of moder-
ate dress allowance does not wish to
buy winter hats SO late in the season,
The natural thing then seems to buy
a spring hat when the snow is still
flying,
However, within the last half dozen
years the se-ea11ed betWeen-seasoR
hat has come to help cut the woman
| this situated, A betWeen-seasen hat
of course, is hat that may be worn
laae winter and early Springer as
far into the warm season as there
is anything of it left. 1t is one OF
those convertible affairs, like a bed
couch or a mans umbrella walking
| stick, 1t combines awe roles in one
| and plays them beth rather nicely
Straw seems to be the earmark OF
the summer hat and SO long as a hat
does not contain any sort OF straw OF
similar braid it does not apparently
rush the season." So these between.
season hats may be flower trimmed-
always, of course, within bounds
and they may be made of silk, satin
or any ether fabric. Velvet does net
nowadays unfit them for service latez
in the spring, as even August hats
now show enormous quantities OF
velvet.

AVERAGE AGE OF
EIGHT BROTHERS
AND SISTERS IS

The remarkable case of the north
country family of Calvert, England,
of which, as reported in the papers,
eight brothers and sisters have
reached an average age of rs years,
has had many parallels in recent
years.
The late Lady Mabe11a Knox was
one of nine brothers and sisters.
whose aggregate ages totalled 1853
years. Five of them survived to SO
80, SO, SO and SO years, respectively.
OF another family, all members Of
the Society of Friends, we read not
long ago that three weres till living
at the ages of 101, 81 and 81, while
five, who were dead. had counted AIS
years among them-an average Of 81
years. If the members Of this fam
lily had lived consecutively instead of
together, the frst-born would have
been born as long ago. as the year
1920.
When Henry Wye. sexton at st.
Mary's church, Leicester, England,
died not long ago, at 81, it was said
that two of his brothers had prede-
ceased him at the ages Of 81 and IS.
respectively, while he had two sur
viving brothers of 81 and SO, and two
sisters Of S3 and 80.
Joshua Jackson of Blackburn, who
survived to see his 87th birthday, was
one of eight brothers and sisters not
one ow HON failed to pass the S0th
milestone. And quite recently ahere
was living at Milverton, West Somer-
set five brothers and sisters the cid
est of whom, Mrs. Shottacks, was 90,
and the youngest, James King, just
10 yeats younger.

new BLOUSES ARE
VERY HANDILY
PLANNED

The new blouses are closed in
number of fashions and many of them
are ingeniously contrived so that the
deep collar at the back need not be
disturbed. One model is made with
a deep enough V-shaped opening at
the front so that it slips over the
head-if the head is not too large.
This blouse, therefore, has no visible
means of closing-or opening. And
it is very pretty and the full front
falls in unbroken folds and the deep
collar of the back is uninterrupted.
And if one puts this blouse on care
fully, pulling it smoothly over the hair,
it is all very well. However, if one
is in haste and thrusts the head quick
ly into tall very wrong.
Brassieres of linen and real lace
are among the spring offerings. Some
are of the bandeau type while others
are more conservative in cut, featur-
ing regulation arnholes. One of
the latter is made Of closely woven
white linen, a bit heavier than hand
kerchief, and has a fitted band Of filet
lace about both the top and the bot
tom-which is inset with the scallops
pointing inward and the straight edge
on the outside. Bows Of pink ribbon
finish it.

LYRIC
"gYHE GIRL OUTSIDE"
CReviewed for The Times. }


Our hat is off to Vincent Lawrence.
ar. Lawrence you have given US a
melodrama supreme, a play with
enough action to suffice for four mod
ern plays. Not only is it an inter-
esting play, merely from the stand
point of entertainment, but it is a
play that fills US with the JOY of iv-
ing. The "Girl Outside" is SO filed
with dramatic climaxes that the audi
tor believes, time and again, that the
end is due at any moment, but in
stead, the thrills and surprising sit
uations continue throughout three
acts and prologue.
"a play for red-blooded men and
women is the best way to describe
1.-THE Girl Outside and any one that
does not love and like Jack Evans
for the struggle that he made for the
girl he loved, is beyond the pale of
human understanding. Jack Evans
is real, even in a fictional way. Were
he alive, he would be carrying the
banner Of democracy lover there"

The annual ball of Harmony lodge,
I. o. B. b, will be held at The STRAIT
field ball room on Lincoln's birthday,
Feb. Il. This will be the only big
event of the season as other lodges
have decided to curtail their annual
events as their affairs are only of a
social nature.
: The proceeds as in the past will be
divided equally among the local char
table Jewish organizations, whose
worthy work needs no comment, The
funds of these societies are at present
very low, due to the lack of contri-
buttons for charity at home. The Sc
we're cold weather, the high cost of
living, high rents and war conditions
in general, have hit those in need
very hard.
This year the committees have set
out fully determined to double the
receipts of last year and are very en-
thusiastic about their task, Expenses
for the affair has been cut down to a
minimum, eliminating every possible
unnecessary item. Through this
method practically the entire receipts
will go towards the purpose intended.
The event will be as informal as the
place and occasion will permit. Costly
gowns, flowers and other iu9uries will
not be in vogue this year, due to the
request for conservation:
The response from the sale OF
tickets and the mailing list is most
encouraging and there is every reason
to believe that the ball room will be
taxed to its capacity. The patrons
committee, of which Mrs. Benjamin
W. Brownsteia is chairman have
made a splendid showing, their list OF
patrons and patronesses will be lone
and representative.
The men on the executive commit
tee of Harmony lodge are: Abraham

kelstoue, Charles T. Shapiro, DE-
Maurice S. Boseu, Joseph, Joseph Sol
ONION, David Altman, Bernard Ruben
stein, Jack Lederer. Max Schwartz

It is a well known fact that Mark
Twain would never allow his famous
book, Tom Sawyer" to be dramatic
ed. To get the white town browsing
in the sunshine by the sleepy Mis-
issippi and the thousand and onS de-
tails that made his picture SO vivid
seemed an impossibility And indeed
it would have been an impossibility
to have placed all that on the narrow
confines of any stage, But the motion
picture has placed those days far be-
hind and today many marvels are ac-
