"The time has come, the Walrus said To talk of many things"
 And with the very first breezes of the spring and even earlier woman's mind quickly turns to talk of her new bonnet. Long before the snow is off the ground, long before the flowers ar rive, bright new hats warn us of the arrival of that ever delightful season. Time was when new hats were kept in strict seclusion and tissue paper un- til the event of Easter, then to bos- som forth in brave array, whether a blizzard ragged or no.
 Now, no woman can wait. In Jan uary if it please her she will don her crowning glory and abash her dearest enemies, with fresh new creation of dazzling novelty. After all, that's her privilege.
 There are certain styles of hats which have won their way into femin- inc hearts through their comfort, smartness and utility. Each season plays a diapason of changes in these favorite themes. Their reappearance is never monotonous. The two styles have in mind are sailors and turbans. Close-fitting, comfortable, and long, enduring, either turban or sailor is a genuine addition, a real friend.
 Sailors this year are as various, as changeable as the weather itself. A new straw of shiny finish and bright eolors is called Barnyard mixed straw. Bankok we have with us again, and slipper straw and the good old Milans.

nished with rather bulbous looking peoples of copper color, and served to the wearer all daintily draped with a brown silk pattern veil.
 Tricorns are coming into their own popularity again, with cockades worn straight in front. Sometimes they are embroidered on silk, and again they are trimmed with feathers.
 Among sports hats there are so many shapes and sizes and materials that one could choose four lovely ones for each costume, and then have sev- eral left over. But after all, one can, alas, wear but one hat at a time. Sports hats gather so much charm by the wayside, what with their contin- uous novelty of performance and color. Color is the front name to any we'll behaved outdoor hat. And as to per formance. this chapeau knows no re- straint. It may droop, it may crush, it may tilt. It may be darned, sashed fluted or piped with impunity so long as it be cololful.
 It seems to one viewing sports hats, by and large, that there is general tendency to crushiness. This word isn't in the dictionary but then it de- notes at once, l am sure, to any wo- man, that pleasant faculty of being packed in small space, and emerging later with that unruffied serenity that marks so many of the new fabric hats.
 A lovely little sea-foam green cha peau in straw cloth illustrates this very point. Its crown and brim seem

Pipings come in many colors, usually in contrast to the braid they bind. Silk and straw braids are "in," too.
 Now as to shapes for sailors. It seems to be case of suit yourself. There are -brimmed, high crown ed sailors. There are narrow silk brimmed ones with straw crowns There are soft rolling brims and stiff firm ones. All crowns are high.
 One smart bright sailor rejoiced in black shiny brim and crown of silk braids of many bright colors, which covered the crown, and after be- ing poked through the brim, fell be- hind the wearer's ear in a long sash. Another sailor, French model, had a brim composed entirely of grosgrain ribbon, in navy blue. At the base of its faille crown, it tied itself into a soft floppy bow.
 Turbans are equally popular with women. In fact more women can wear sailors. A good milliner will, however, carefully study a turban from every angle, before she sells it to her GUS toner because a turban style can be most painfully and dreadfully awful, if it does not fit the individual.
 But then one need not worry. Like the sailor hat. our friends the milli- ners, the Paris artists, have bethought themselves of so many modes and lenses of the hat turban that no dear lady need be disappointed if she will but search a bit.
 A lovely crush hat of piled up steel cellophane straw made one of these

to have that very ability to take any shape at all and stay smart. As an aid to its other pliant qualifications, it is trimmed with heavy eiderdown wool all over it's crown and brim. Another orchid-tinted dear of the same crush ability had it's brim all embroidered with irridescent slipper straws, in little triangles. Back of these shapes ran a silk darned stitch.
 For some of the fuffier summer frocks there are specially delightful confections to entrance the eye. Who would not adore a cunning little poke bennett bound about with two long trailing scayfs of jade green, and flame color, which not content to encircle crown must needs trail way down and over ones shoulder? And another beauty on this order is of scarlet crepe weighted over one ear both above and below the crown with black cherries.
 Many of the soft dress hats this season will match the frock in mate rial and trimming. Does she array herself in pale rose-tinted georgette with many fittings? Then her grace fully dropping hat will appear in the same stuff, with trailing sash all edg- ed with fittings. Does her costume combine organdie and filet lace? Then her hat will combine the two, with further sash of taffeta, to match that huge bow affair she wears about the waist little below the region of her left elbow.

 Some dear lady is going to wear a wonderful copper colored gem of head gear. Its shiny stuff is called candy cloth. All around and around, it is dressed with velvet flowers of copper and brown. Presuming she be blessed with auburn hair. this little coronet will be the final dainty touch to her

 For one who can wear black, a fetch ing turban of straw cloth, with droop- ing glycerine ostrich will be very

SOUTH AMB0H. April 7:-AL
interesting meetin& of the board of
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce was held las( night in their
rooms on Broadway
One of the most important mat
tiers to come before the board at
this time was the Question of day
light saving. At firS the board was
almost unanimous In the opinion
that recommendatidls should be
made to the city fathers calling on
them to adopt an ordinance making
daylight saving time the time for
this city. After an explanation of
he railroad situation by Mr.. Filskov
no action was taken. While all the
board are in favor of daylight saw
ing they hesitate to recommend it
to South Amboy under the present
conditions. 1t was pointed out that
the railroads were going to maintain
their schedules on ''sun time and
inasmuch az South Amboy depends
SO much on the railroads it was felt
that a serious mistake would be
committed. One definite step in this
direction vas taken. however, when
the delegates to the Atlantic City
convention were instructed to vote
IN favor of a nationwide law max
ing daylight saving nationwide.
Another matter of interest TO the
entire community was that of secur-
Ing better train service from the
shore during the summer months.
1t was pointed out that during the
summer the last train from ASbury
Park to this city was somewhere
about s o'clock. The secretary was
instructed to confer with the Asbury
Park Chamber of Commerce, the
city officials and such railroad off,
cials as to bring about the desired
result.
The matter of a seven cent fare
through the entire city was also
aiken up. Mr.. Stephenson brought
up the matter. He pointed out how
It was possible to go through the
entire township of ~Sayreville and
through South River for one fare,
while from S~ayreville to VOLTS
witch in South Amboy was one fare
out beyond that point another fare
vas required. He thought this was
unfair to the people of South Amboy
and brought about a condition
where the people of ~Sayreville who
naturally would come to South Am
boy to shop would travel to South
River. This matter was left in the
hands of the secretary to study the
possibilities of bringing about a
change.
Two new members were elected
at this time. William Briggs of
Briggs Garage and William j. Dom
