vogue-a special January Hat"-to be
worn north or south, but with Whls-
Der of spring in their designing. They
are not too summerlike, but there, Is
no hint of winter about them.
Three of these captivating models
are shown in the group above. They
place themselves at a glance-hats OF
the highest class that need not to ex-
cuse themselves for appearing In the
depth of winter. At the center OF the
group the large picturesque black hat
is made of panne velvet and malines-
All its story is told by these two mate
rials for it's finish is merely collar OF
the velvet with a bow at the back.
One can imagine it at the afternoon
concert or the bridge party in the
heart of the northern winter, or worn
as q dinner or afternoon hat under
southern skies, with equal sattsfac-
ton.
At the left a small hat Is shown
made of fringed strips Of black taf-
feta. These strips are braided or
woven in and out to form the body OF
the hat. Taffeta proves itself suffi-
cient for the completion Of this model
which is finished at the front with a
bow of the silk, made Of strips fringed
along each edge.
At the right hat Of deep blue satin
is made with rows of blue braid stitch
ed on the upper brim and crown. The
blue is vivid, somewhat lighter than
sapphire, and makes just the right
background for the odd japanese
leaves and berries that form wreath
about the crown. 1t is hard to describe
anything so unlike the usual millinery
flowers. The colors are odd, grayish
green and yellows and white. Only the
| Japs know what these queer leaves
are made of and after they have ex-

The Son Of I arzan

pressed by like attributes in the gentle,
cultured woman, reciprocated the 9TH
ers regard and affection.
And so the days flew by while Me-
riem waited the return of the head
man and his party from the country
of Kovudoo. They were short days, for
into them were crowded many hours
of insidious instruction Of the inlet
tered child by the lonely woman.
She commenced at once to teach the
girl English without forcing it upon
her as a task. She varied the instruc-
ton with lessons in sewing and de-
pertinent, nor once did she let Meriem
guess that it was not all play. Nor
was this difficult, since the girl was
avid to learn.
Then there were pretty dresses to be
made to take the place of the single
leopard skin, and in this she found the
child as responsive and enthusiastic as
any civilized miss of her acquaintance.
A month passed before the head man
returned, month that had transform
ed the savage, little, half-naked Man.
gani into a daintily frocked girl OF at
least outward civilization. Meriem had
progressed rapidly with the intricacles
of the English language, for BWana
and My Dear persistently refused to
speak Arabic from the time they had
decided that Meriem must learn Eng
lish, which had been day or two after
her introduction into their home.
But, docile as Meriem was in these
matters, there was one thing that she
insisted on during her entire stay with
the kind white folk, and that was her
personal freedom to make excursions
into the jungle, attired very much as
she had been when with Korak, when
ever she chose. Bwana and My Dear
got used in time to finding her room
empty and to have her turn up hours
later, flushed and radiant, after wild
romp through the trees and jungle.
Thus it was that, despite the civiliz-
ed boots she wore and the conf1ning
feminine garb, the soles of her hard
little feet and the palms of her capa-
BILE hands remained exceedingly serV-
iceable, nor did her grace and agility
suffer.
The report of the head man plunged
Meriem into a period of dependency,
for he had found the village of Kovu-
doc deserted, nor, search as he would,
could he discover single native any
where in the vicinity. For some time
he had camped near the village, spend
ing the days in systematic search of
the environs for traces of Meriems
Korak. But in this quest, too, he had
failed. he had seen neither apes nor
ape man.
Meriem at first insisted upon setting
forth herself in search of Korak, but
Bwana prevailed upon her to wait. He
would go, he assured her, as soon as
he could find the time, and at last Me-
riem consented to abide by his wishes.
But it was months before she ceased
to mourn almost hourly for her Korak.
1t was about this time that runner
brought letter that, when she learn
ed the contents, filled Meriem with
excitement. Visitors were coming! A
number of English ladies and gentle
men had accepted My Dear's invita-
ton to spend a month of hunting and
exploring with them.

Save Paraffin.

In these days of economy save your
old paraf1in to use again, as no matter
how dirty it may look to you it can
be cleaned very successfully.
Many times it can be cleaned with
brush in cold water. If this method
isn't successful, heat to boiling point
and strain through two or three thick
nesses of cheesecloth. One straining
usually is sufficient, but if still dirty,
heat and strain again.

"Parentage" which comes to the Hauber Tuesday and Wednesday, is a beautiful story dealing with father hood, motherhood and childhood. The narrative deals with such vital prob lems in home life, that it presents an array of questions that patrons will be astounded at their comprehensive ness. It strikes a chord in the heart of every man, and woman, young or cid, and sends them back into the world, to think and think hard. and make them better for thinking. Producer Henley has picked an eX- ceptionally strong cast to tell his story, which includes William Welsh, wh did such excellent work in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea-" Anna Lehr, who as Mrs. lmith. does one of the finest charac- terizations of mother ever seen on the screen--in fact her work recalls Emma Dunn in "Old Lady 31"-Bert Busby; Matty Roubert, young boy who has been starred in many films; Lois Alexander, one of the best child actresses in pictures; Gilbert Room ey: Barbara Castleton, one ot fhe most beautiful women on the screen today, and Hobart Henley. who does excellent work as Robert Smith, Jr.
