NEW YORK-Hats this season are big, little and in between. So many different shapes and sizes are being worn that while one is given a wide choice. this very fact in itself is lit- tie confusing.
 However, the wise woman will be influenced by two things only; the suitableness of the hat for the use it is to be put to, and it's becomingness. As to the latter there are two factors to be carefully watched.
 Stand Up to Buy
 DON'T let a saleswoman fool you into buy hat just because it happens to be a fitting setting for your face. standing up with your prospective pur chase on your head and WALK ABOUT in front of mirror large enough to give you a full length view of yourself. Your height has every thing in the world to do with the be- comingness of your hat.

NEW YORK-The largest silk sale in the entire history of the world will be consummated when the United States war claims board delivers to the R. H. Madison Co.,, New York whole salers, 11,000000 yards of cartridge silk. The same company is said to have an option on like amount.
 Report has 1t that 72 cents yard is the price to be paid the government The silk is unfinished, it's natural color being gray. Consequently it will have to go through a process of finishing and printing which probably will bring its wholesale price up to around g a yard.
 There are five qualities of this silk which was used for making bags to contain powder for big guns. Fabric dealers claim that the varying quail ties make it suitable not only for such clothing as mems and women's suits but even shoes.
 So miladi may be appearing actually clothed in silk from head to foot in the near future.

Back to Our First Little Home for al
 Hour With Ghosts


 "Why did you let that happen?" put the question to myself without the least hope of answering it. You've simply thrown Bob to that serpent woman. A nice fate for a darling"
 With many such bitter self-re- breaches I watched my husband van ish into the cool darkness of the house. Would he dare, would he have the courage to suggest to Katherine mil Ter that he knew she was the mother of Benpies child? I had, at least, comforting doubts.
 At last I persuaded Babs to part with her furry plamate. On the whole, she and l were acting as if we were about the same age. We were always pursuing our happiness and never quite catching up with it.
 That day I had plenty of time to mediate upon the perversity of fate which kept me so near-and yet so far-from my true love.
 After Bob had gone to war, and had gone to live at his fathers house, l had rented to others, furnished, the little home which for a few happy months Bob and I had shared.
 But now the house where 1 had gone as a bride was empty again. Mother Lorimer and I had decided that we would furnish it up, in the hope that some miracle might suddenly restore Bob's memory of the months he had lived there with me.
 In the afternoon, 1 went over to the house alone, little dreaming of the ordeal ahead of me. 1 took the short cut through the park-a path Bob and had travelled hundreds of times to- gether Mother was planning to come over by road, in her car, after doing some errands.
 When the door of my own wee domi- cile had closed behind me, l seemed to be alone in a world of ghosts. The careful tenant had left the place in perfect order Bob and I could have moved in and settled down in an hour. I threw myself into deep, stuffed chair, which we had called Bob's own. Before me trailed procession of spirits. Bob and I entered, as bride and groom! I could hear the swish of my silken wedding gown, and the clat- ter of the rice which dropped from

This does not mean that short wo- men must necessarily wear tiny to- ques with high "stick-ups" for trim ming. Very often, on the contrary, a small woman cannot carry the inn posing sweep of such hat. But there are certainly hats this year for ev erybody, and a little care used in choice will reward even the hardest to please.
 For Afternoon
 From among the lovely things shown in the Fifth avenue shops have had three hats sketched as typical of the most popular styles.
 The big hat is a rich affair de- signed for afternoon wear. It is a plat of chiffon velvet curving downward at each side, and shoWered with half curled ostrich shaded at the tips. The trim is in contrasting color to the vel vet of which the frame is built. This latter usually matches the color of the costume with which it is to be worn.
 The smart little turban is one of those happy creations which can be worn by it's owner to almost any af- fair at almost any time of day. It is built of velvet, fur and ostrich. This model is especially attractive with the new suits having choker collars of fur. The copy of such hat should be made up with fur to match the trim of the suit with which it is to be worn.
 The In Between
 The third hat sketched is a delight full inspiration when framing a youth full face. It is a hybrid growth of the mushroom hat, and was shown made up in seal brown hatters' plush. A gold cord finished with a gold ball runs around the crown. This hat is a tri- umph of beauty of line and durable ness. There is nothing on it to be si oiled by mists or snow, while it's simplicity makes it real find for the woman who cannot wear the harsh ar gles of the severe sailor.

there sat the ghost of a bride, serving her first breakfast to her husband!
 From basement laundry to attic storeroom followed that bride and her husband. They were always together
 It seemed all too wonderful ever to have happened to me! Nothing seemed real. To make it so, if possible, I in- vestigated several boxes of the finery that I had worn at that time. My we'd ding dress, stored away for months found perfect from coronet to shoe buckles.
 I heaped the mass of shining white stuff together, carried it down to the dainty room which had been my own, and spread it out on my bed to air.

Husband Got Job ! Here But Deserted
 Wife in Springfield

When the war boom struck this city in 1914, Peter Beaucage left his wife in Springfield; Mass, and came to Bridgeport to get work. . He told Mrs. Beaucage he would send for her as soon as he found a job but she waited in vain, she testified in the superior court yesterday when she asked for q divorce on the ground of desertion.
 The wife, whose name Is Elizabeth Beaucage, said she finally left Spring field and came to this city to find her husband. He was here but showed no inclination to resume the burdens of a husband. On the contrary he as- sured Mrs. Beaucage that he did not care to support her in the future. Therefore she was forced to become a war time worker. Judge Curtis all lowed Mrs. Beaucage a divorce on the ground of desertion.

HEIR TO VAST
 RICHES IN WANT
Prof. Enc Has S2,OOO,OOO But Needs Ready Cash,
 He Says.

New York, May 30-Here is the story of an heir to millions who con- fesses himself without means of SUD- port: i,. Prof. Henry Lane Enc, of Prince ton, applied to the Surrogate yester- day for s5O,OOO to educate his two children. He is a nephew of Amos F. Enc, who left 0,0OO,0O0, of which under the latest court decision S2,- 000,000 would go to the Princeton professor, and S1,250,000 to each of the children.
 But Amos F. Enc left two wills and whilel litigation is pending to de- termine the valid testament, the pro- lessor and his family are compara- lively penniless. The second will, ex- ecuted in 1915, left Professor Emo s5o,0O0 and gave the children, Amos and Alice, agen 10 and 16, S75O,000 each.
 Professor Enc contested this on the
