PARIS HINTS ON WINTER HATS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

That straw hat is summer hat.
| and that a summer hat must, if you
are orthodox in matters Of dress, be
made up of some sort of straw, was
the youthful conviction of most of us
American women.
! Likewise, it seemed only meet and
| right that after mid-NoVember we
should wear hat made or 1elt-Wlth
a possible alternative in favor OF 1ur
But that was all. There was no par
ticular reason for this. 1t simply was
so because it was so-just as light
| blue or pink were the only rlDbons
| that we wore in our lingerie. yellow
i Or green or violet or the wild futurlst
! fplash of colors that we countenance
| :oday would have seemed either very
| indicate or very eccentric. But that
is part of a bygone prejudice: 1t mas
gone with the prejudice in favor OF
only straw hats for summer.
Are Straw Hats American?
Now, straw hats must have come
from America. Dig out the history OF
| the straw hat some time and you Will
probably find that it was something
unknown to Europeans until they
came to adopting the native clothes OF
their warm country colonies. AT any
rate. in France hundred years ago
about the period of the empire OF
which we hear so much in the realm
| of clothes inspiration nowadays-the
straw hat was decidedly the rage, and
! it was spoken of as american"
These hats were simple little poke
shaped affairs that were most fetch
| ing when adorned only with a nose
gay or feather directly in front and a
band of ribbon about the brim that
crossed in back and tied chin-Wise in
front, or hung with charming negli-
gence about the thinly-draped should
ers of the fair young girl who wore it.
1t was regarded as an American
fashion, and French travellers in this
country in revolutionary days wrote
home-when they took time to COM
ment on our American womenfolk-
that we were addicted to straw hats.
Inspiration for Autumn.
Americans have retained their ad-
diction. Just at present France has
little to do with straw hats, however,
and the reason is perhaps that straw
is extremely dear and scarce. Others
explain it that the French milliners
have catered more to their South
American trade this year than in for
mer years. and in South America, you
rem Der, it is winter.
Usually in Paris there would have
been time and resources for two
showings-one of spring and summer
things for US and one for winter and
summer for Latin America. That may
have something to do with it. 1t is
fact, however you explain 1t, that
there are fewer straw hats in Paris

Declares Treaty of Peace With
Germany Should Be. Made
as Soon as Possible.
DELAY is DANGEROUS
Massachusetts, Lawmaker Says That
League of Nations and Freedom
of Seas Questions Can Be
Taken Up Later.

Washington, Jan. g. The Senate
discussed President Wilson's peace
terms to the exclusion of virtually all
other matters.
Senator Lewis of Illinois, the Demo
cratic whip, and Senator Thomas of
Colorado, Democratic member of the
Foreign Relations committee, defend
ed the President and his proposals,
while Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, urged haste in
concluding peace, declaring that the
situation is perilous to the highest de-
gree"
The Massachusetts senator denied
leaders were attempting to embarrass
the President abroad by recommend
ing that consideration of a league of
nations and other proposals be de-
ferred until after the peace conference.
He said that since the peace of the
world was involved 'the. ambition or
fate of presidents or political parties
are infinitely of small comparison to
what is before the Senate"
Wants Peace This Year.
IL feel that our duty is to act in the
living present to bring peace to the
world in the year 1919 before we are
to undertake to make peaceful world
in theN year 2000," declared Senator
Lodge. That is the duty that seems
to me Imminent now and the one that
we ought to attend to first"
in my own opinion he added, re-
ferring to the league of nations plan
and also that on freedom of the seas,
these questions should follow and not
precede peace with Germany The
days are going by with nothing being
done regarding peace. The war is not
over and will not be until peace has
been made. Every day makes more
difficult the making of peace with Ger
many. The first thing that should be
done is to make peace in 1919 instead
of making a peaceful world in the
year 2000."
Senator Lodge said in his opinion
trivial matters of personal ambitions"
should be laid aside, that it makes
little difference what party wins this
country.
He reiterated that the questions in.
volved In the making of peace are
enough and will require all the
strength of the nations involved with
out taking up questions mot essential
to peace with Germany"
Senator Lodge read into the record
extracts from essays of Lord Bryce
and from book by ii. G.. Wells, say
ing he merely wanted to call the Sen
ate's attention to the enormous diff
culties' connected with the working
out of the league of nations plan.

Seriously Wounded Men Are

Fire Island, N. Y, Jan. Ga driv-
ing northeast snowstorm disrupted
plans to remove 200 seriously wounded

Except for 200 wounded men, every
