DOPING THE HAT
PoIiteness Traced Back to the
 Primitive Times.
Ancient Peoples, as Mark Of Submis- sIon, Uncovered Body and Surren.
 dered Their Clothing.

We consider man a gentleman who takes off his hat to a lady. At least the act Is thought to be gentlemanly. polite. The origin of this custom. like SO many other customs common among so-called civilized peoples. goes back to primitive times, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
 When u person was made captive his conqueror stripped him of his weapons and clothing and left him without any thing he could call his own. The cap tive was thus made a slave, his 'iacK of clothing being evidence of his sub iugation. We,need only to look at the sculptures of the Assyrians to see the truth of the fact. And in Isaiah 2O: we find the following statement: "And the Lord said, like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and bare foot three years for q sign, so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners and the Ethlo- plans captives, young and old, naked and barefoot"
 The first step, then. in tracing the origin of taking off the hat, is the surrender of the clothing among primi- tive and ancient peoples as a mark or submission The next step Is the un- covering of the body as mark Of rev. erence. There are all degrees of un- covering, though often only the most valuable parts of the clothing are taken off In the presence of superiors.
 h@ ny,,hh act of uncovering the body was cere- monia in nature and used to show reverence to a superior Then came the use of the ceremonial to propitiate the dead. We can see remnant of this most any time. At funerals and in our graveyards men take off their hats. They still take off their hats on enter ing churches and before the images of Christ and the Madonna.
 In times of chivalry men raised their hats to ladies to show reverence. But this was only superficial in meaning. A knight would ride down a poor peas- ant woman carrying large burden and never think of helping her--least of all would he think of taking off his hat to her. However. If he heard of some beautiful damsel of his own class in the slightest danger. imaginary or real. he would go to her and, hat in hand. kneel and dedicate himself to her service.
 Today much the same things occur. Ordinarily a gay youth forgets to take off his hat to his mother, yet he shows this deference to his best girl" After all 1t Is only form, and polite ness should go deeper than this. How. ever. the form persists, and it is of some historical interest to remember that 1t Is remnant of the primitive stripping of captive by which process was expressed the fact that he yielded up all he had. Taking off the hat to a wealthy girl means. occasionally, not only the yielding up of all you have, but the getting of all she has. Cere- mony Is often nothing but hard cal. cnlation in regnrd to personal results, especially where self-aggrandizement is the ultimate aim of the polished in. diyidual.

Juliet's mother-of all thingsl while Aida was to play Juliet to Earl's Romeo.
 It seemed almost more than she could bear. She would have with drawn altogether only she feared that that would be too noticeable, for some body would be ready to say she was jealous. She wasn't jealous but she dreaded all those rehearsals with Earl repeatedly making love to Aida. even though it was only in play. They would both die in the end, however, and there was some comfort to poor Diana in that.
 At length the girl reused herself. She felt that she really must join the others; so, touching up her hair bit and wiping her eyes, she drew aside the curtain and stepped out. But she was hardly in normal condition when she took her place as one of the mery- ry company around the blazing wood fire.
 So little did Diana join in the gay spirits of the others that Bess Palmer called: What's the matter with Diana7 She's not speaking a word"
 "What Is 1t, Di?" asked some one else. mot in the dumps, are you?"
 "Oh, yes," exclaimed Aida who had been looking over the play and still had the book in her lap. "Oh, yes. she must be having the doleful jumps. Let's see-how does that go? Here 1t is:
 When gripping grief the heart doth
 wound
 And doleful dumps the mind oppress. Then music with her silver sound
 With speedy help doth lend redress.
 Cant somebody give us some music?" She went on. "Where's your mandolin, Jack? Has that silver sound?"
 At this Diana laughed, rather forced laugh, which she hoped no one noticed, and little later it was sug- vested that, as there was nothing spe- cial on the docket, they should read through the chosen play of "Romeo and Juliet"
 This would have to come sooner or later, so with an effort Diana joined the others and tried her best to put as

Hoop Holds Up Cars.

A mile of cars were recently held up in London by small boy playing with hoop. The blockade occurred in the evening just as the crowds of workers were travelling homewards. The boy was having final spin before going home when his hoop rolled into trols the tube and tramway. His only worry was that he could not extricate his hoop. The police and conductors vainly tried to pull 1t out and It was not until the breakdown gang arrived on the scene that the hoop was re- moved and the traffic could proceed.

 "Diana," called spritely voice, -where are you. Dir
 "Diana," called spritely voice. pink-cheeked Diana Kelsey curled up within the curtained window recess did not feel like talking just then. Indeed, she was only too glad to be hidden from sight for there were tears in her eyes and she knew they would be discovered by Bess Palmer if she came near her; so. while her friend went off in search of her. Diana con- tinued to brood over her troubles which. as everybody knows. is the best way in the world to increase them, in fancy if not in reality.
 To begin with-there had been so much of hilarity going on the night before that she had not slept we'll, and her head ached. The new hat of which she had expected so much. was not very becoming after all. She was dis appointed in this house party. It had  years. even though 1t was made up of nearly the same company. Worst of all was the fact that Aida Goodrich was to take the principal lady's part, and Earl Raymond was to be the lead Ing man in the little play that was on foot. Earl had been her stanch friend and open admirer since their primary school days. In all the little plays which they had given hitherto, when she was leading lady, he, as a matter of course, had been given the part of leading man. Now, in the most am- bilious thing they had ever under taken, for, with an audacity given to youth alone, the club had elected to play Romeo and Juliet" now she, Diana Wales. had been assigned the unimportant part of Lady Capulet,
