Why Hats Are. like Houses.

Did it ever occur to you that head
gear takes on the form Of houses?
It is hard to account for some of the
weird hats of the day by this theory,
although perhaps an effort to carry
out the lines of the sxyscraper may be
traced in the beanstalk decorations Of
feathers and flowers which tower sky
ward from our hats.
However hard to prove, this is a
theory put forward by an authority on
woman's dress To understand its
claim to consideration call up a pic
ture of medieval woman with a tall
funnel-shaped headdress-the benin.
Isn't it for all the world like the spire
of a Gothic church? 1And doesn't it
also suggest the peaA tent where her
crusading or warrior husband or
brother or father spent much of his
Ame?
Take the eastern turban for an
other example. 1t is almost like the
dome of some mosque or synagogue
in outline.

she prevented him from doing so, it
was reported.
The sudden confession on the part,
Of Mrs Tabor, the wrinkled. pictur-
esque figure In the mystery which has
at length caught Virgo in its tangles,
is the first dramatic turn which the
case has taken since it first stirred

Mrs. Tabor told her story with
ush OF words.

only after much diffiulty that Ritter
secured Sirect wire arrangements
