STORY.

Even before the zero weather ar
rived, before many ottawa people
put on their high shoes, heavies or
even donned their cold weather coats,
the spring hats arrived. Hats of
straw cloth of the 1922 model, have
made their appearance in display Win
dows along La Sale street, although
so far as can be determined, none
have been seen on the streets as
yet
1t is unnecessary to explain that
the spring hats are for ladies', and
will probably be donned by some
knee skirted fiapper within a few
days Tor hours). Mems headgear
makes its appearance in more con-
servative seasons, calendar time gov
erning the mode in straw lids, en-
tirely.
The 1922 hats that have been shown
are of rather small model, and are
exceedingly good looking. Some are
fashioned entirely of straws, while
others are of straws and satins.
Milliners state that the appear
ance of the straws in the market will
by no means block the sale of their
handsome velvet, satin, taffeta, fur
and brocade models. The smartly
dressed woman will want hat in
keeping with her costume, and for
cold blizzardy day, the woman who
travels abroad in a handsome velvet
or cloth dress, and is sWathed in furs
must have headgear in keeping with
her gown and wrap.
Straw or combination straw ant
silk hats, will, however, be on the
streets to greet the weather man
when he blows his breath on ottawa
chasing the mercury in out of door
thermometers down below the zero
| mark.

outburst by strike sympathizers who
attacked an elevated train carrying
packing house workers, packing house
town settled down to its fourth day
of the strike with no further distur-
Dances but with 1900 police keeping

police. Five hundred patrolmen are

one hundred mounted policemen are

Fitzmorris hit the nail on the head
when he closed all the saloons That,
in my opinion was the case OF last

filled with 'moonshine' became rowdy
and the fighting swept over the entire
district. Nearly every man who was
injured or those we took into custody
had been drinking"
