separately. One of the most coquettish types is the small flat hat tilted over the eyes, scooped up we'll at the back with the hiatus there filled in with a waterfall of irregular curls. Another hat, and the most sensational one, is a large flat shape which shades the entire head and has long ringlets sewed under the brm at each side. These r!nglets fall to the shoulders, Your memory quickly sug gests that it is the hat of 1870 worn by the Empress Eugenie. 1t was really Victorian fashion. One thinks of 1t in connection with English garden parties; of the heroines of Anthony Trolope's nov els. The third type or nat which carries hair is a Henry VIII cap,
 This has a short curled fringe sewn in the front of the briri Ones own hair is merely brushed up under these hats without any attempt at a coiffeur. All hats are pulled down SO low on the head that 1t makes little difference what one does with the hair, and in Paris the eve ming coiffeure may also be negligent. for it is covered by turhan of tulle and me tailic tissue. It looks as though one well defined and strenuous attempt was being made to permit women to have their hair oiled brushed and rubbed The hair dressers can make just as much money doing this as in waving. Industry in that line will not be hurr. The milliners do these hats with the fair immensely well and one likes the idea. but there is Q sensat ton akin to fear that when the public gets the chance to pin hair into it's hats there wil be some queer fashions abroad. It has taken conservative mind durinc the last five years to keep to lady like couture, for surely women have run to the extremest length of ugliness and inelegance in hairdressng.

THE HOUSEHOLD

In the big cities there are little eat ing places here and there where you can buy a palatable, we'll cooked dinner for a price which. when you consider prevail- ing costs of food and service, labor and table linen. dishes and fuel, you wonder how it can be done. If you stop to ask one of the successful directors of such an enterprise you will probably learn that in his oninion the reason he can sup ply you with a dinner for what you could not possibly provide 1t for yourself
 in your own home is because he ca tiers to a large number O. persons and this makes it possible for him to take advan- tage of large quantity prices He makes his profit on very small margin Of rrost on each meal served, hut so long a 8 there is a profit he gains Another thing you will find is that they always do rather elaborate bookfeeping. They sim pIv have to figure costs, and the man or woman who succeeds at the table 'hote" business always knows just about what amount he or she must allow for meat. This is one of the big items. II you are to make profit on 75-cent din ner, say you must have your meat cost not more than 20 cents a portion Each one has it worked ou. according to his own method, but he always does feure before he buys the meat at q given price or he does not buy if.
 Now a very good thing for the house wife to do $ to figure her meat per DOT ton in this way. She may feel that she can afford on an average of 70 cents portion for every dinner. If she buys chicken she cannot possibly provide meat at 50 low a cost. but still she mieht go on having chicken if. to make uu for it. she is willing to have some inexpensfve substitute for meat the next day. Tn fig uring for such meats as pot roast, chops, corned beef or meat loaf. she need not have any difficulty in keening within her estimate. simply reducing the amount per nerson if she feels that it is necessary, Thus if you are feeding four people. you may buy a pot roast one night for sl4o that will do in a simple pot roast the first nigft and the second night in meat pie For the two dinners at g cents person. when there are four persons. you will reallye have s1.6o. so you may feel that you're ahead of the game a0 cents. and this you may credit yourself with for the night you are to have beefsteak.

Copyright, 1919, by the Me A chance for the coiffeur is given in the new hats which burst upon Paris as a revival from another century.
By ANNE RITTTENHOUSE

A chance for the cOIffeur IS gwen HI
 the new hats which burst upon Paris
 as a revival from another century.
 Paris, September 14.-Imagine walking into the salon of an important milliner and seeing hats posed upon pedestals with curled hair hanging from them
 It gives one a horrible impression ot walking into Bluebeards chamber. These ringletted hats with the painted faces underneath and the Space below the neck make one feel that millinery Chamber of Horrors has been opened. Not at al.. It is merely exhibition of new hats. You buy your hat wilh your hair at tached to it. What's the use of a coif- fure, will be said by the women who adopt this type of millinery if the curls and the hat can be bought at one and the same time. Life is complex today; peace has not simplifed things; there is no chance for leisure, and the clothes that can be adjusted in the quickest way are those that make the most potent appeal to the pubic. No one knows what in duced the milligS<y to start off the sea son with this campaign for false hair IL may be the eternal industrial question which underlies all the fashions of France or it may be an attempt at something strikingly new Whatever the reason you can buy your coffcur with your hat
 This was done in 1907. That year, when the fashion was accepted, woman would take off her hat and her coiffeur at the same time in her drawing room and place it on q piece of furniture without con fusion of embarrassment. She was aS careless about it as q British judge would be in laying aside his wig and gown
 The real reason behind it, say women who are the possessors of burnt and broken hair through overcurling, is to give women aghanet to wear the hair straight, get it we'll treated. and let it grow out and regain lustre. It would be wise if this would come to pass. At any rate, there is chance to let the hair have long rest if we accept the new

 But. Andrew complained Imogene.
 'All good things cost a lot of money.
 They don't any such thingl' he re- piled heatedly. We can go and see a jiggle picture show for 10 cents and we can go afterward and get sandwich for a quarter. That's a total expense of B cents each, or a grand extended total Of 70 cents.'

CAPT. THOMAS CAMPBELL, WELL
KNOWN DENVERITE, GETS AP-
POINTMENT IN CLERK OF DIS
TRICT COURT OFFICE.

~ HE old motto, Honor to whom
1 honor is DUE" appears again on
the scene, this time being the ap-
pointment of Capt. Thomas Campbell
of Spanish-American war fame, to a
position in the office of the Clerk of
the District Courts beginning today.
Capt. Campbell, a true and loyal citi-
zen of Denver, with faithfulness to
the Republican party and a zeal for
the betterment of condition for his
people. is accredited with the good
fortune of helping to promote from
a meritorious standpoint such i'm
pressions of ability found among our
people that avenues are being opened
for us, and only the qualified will
be able to lay hold of such oppor-
tunity as are presenting and will pre-
sent themselves to us in our city
and state. Knowing this Denver res
ident for several years and being full
ly acquainted with his ability to hold,
take care of and make possible for
the filling of similar positions by
members of his race. the Colorado
Statesman bespeaks a very successful
tenure of office, and joins with the
many friends of Capt. Campbell in
wishing him very successful term,
being convinced that the most har-
mopious relationship will exist be-
tween his associate employees and
himself.
w. A. Dollison, chairman of the
Republican County Central Commit
tee, and recently elected clerk of the
district courts, always respected in
the public eye as a man who stands
for right, and who fearless as a
champion of equal rights, will stand
for merit, did not hesitate to make
this appointment, as Mr.. Dollison
feels that the time has come when
the man, true to that which is com
mitted to his charge and successful
ly discharging it, is entitled when
qualified to representative positions
setting standards for the people S
ambitions and aspirations. With such
men as our officials we will trust to
merit-AND MERIT WILL TELL.

AND FIFTH PRIZES AT DEN
YER STOCK SHOW.

George F. Parsons, one of our quiet,
unassuming residents of several years
in Denver, took first honors among
a large body of competitors in the ex-
hibition of Flemish Giants Ia specie
of Morough-b rabbits) at the Ma
tional Western Stock Show held here
last week. He received first prize
with Black Prince-a splendid black
buck in the eight months class, the
prize being blue ribbon and check,
and with Colorado e. he won the vel
low ribbon. Mr. Parsons competed
with the celebrated Griffin (white) of
Colorado Springs, who has been in
the limelight for years with his prize
winning rabbits, and who won the sill
yer cup in the all-round decision. 1t
took the judges long time to arrive
at a decision between the two bucks
of these owners for the prize of the
cup, and finally Mr.. Griffin secured
the honors, his buck being quarter
of an inch longer than Mr.. Parsons .
A visit to 2643 Marion street, the
premises of the Parsons, will con-
vince one that the standard of eff
cheney set by some of our people
should be initiated or adopted by all,
as it is only the persistent character
who believes in the equality of civic
liberty and prides in the welfare of
humanity, will enter anything where
competition, generally termed the
secret of success, proves the grit,
stamina and usefulness of thes man.
The Colorado Statesman congratulates
Mr.. Parsons on his success and hopes
his good purposes may be served in
the help offered the members of his
race TO DO SOMETHING.
