HATS REQUIRE SPECIAL CARE
Removal of Dust After Wearing Is
important in Keeping Hcacgear
in Best of Condition.

Not only because it is an economy,
but also because the condition of the
hat and the way it is worn will make
or mar your appearance, your hats
should be properly cared for.
After each wearing, the hat should
be carefully brushed with q soft
brush TO remove all dust from the hat
itself and from the folds of the trim
ming. A piece of velvet should be
used instead of a brush for silk or
satin hats. If the hat is of straw, n
cloth dipped in alcohol may be used
TO remove the dust.
For q hat with brim which is cas-

and rolled so as 20 be narrower at

Hats that have been badly wet and
dried may often be improved by care

spout of q steaming teakettle or over
wet cloth placed on hot inverted
iron.

not 1.-The toughest kid in Hell's Kitch-
en-" and awarded him $500 damages
against the Russell Sage Foundation
and publishers of book entitled Boy
hood and Lawlessness," in which his
picture appeared with this caption.
In asking $4,000 damages the boys
complaint set forth that in 1914 a
photographer appeared in the "Hel1s
Kitchen" district. where he lived. and
took his picture on the ground that
he wanted boy Scout pictures"
McCue, who is now of age. said he
was an altar boy in st. Ambrose's
church at the time and has never been
arrested or charged with delinquency
in any form.
In denying motion TO set aside the
verdict, Justice Ford said:
There is not scintilla of evidence
that he was tough at all. 1t is a
wicked libel.
THAT is the great trouble with
these movements. They think that
where there is poverty there must be
