THERE arc hats. Polly says. that are
always smart. and hats that are
always pretty, and hats that arc al
ways distinctiVe-and JONAS hats be-
long in ell three" classcs-but hats that

New York boxes. among the Jonas hats
that arc so smart and pretty and dis

hin faces, long faces and round. merry
ones. faces with turned-up noses and
others with Grccian profilcs. Polly

charm that Inconsistency is apt to take

attractive thing about the latter is the
way many Of them have of twning a
wreath of fiat little flowers around
their outer edges, and then yelling the

it was thorough. The first thing she

OF her tours of tho big Corlcy build
