with her hands behind her holding a
pair, of scissors. Just look up that

And she coquettishly displayed the
gold Filings in her five front teeth.
Samson could never refuse Delilah
anything when she flashed all that
gold on him.
Delilah gently took hold Of lock
Of Samson's hair with her left hand,
but before she could snip 1t off with
her right. there was a thunderous
knock on the door.

the mortgage on the house this very

Oh, Sammy"
Samson thought hard for moment.
Then Delilah flashed her teeth once
more.

manded Samson. Then he planted
kiss on Delilah's eyebrow and she
flew.
Samson dashed out the door and
lifted up the house in both hands and
tied the doghouse around his neck.
And thus stood he, with Delilah
high and dry, while the flood rushed
down Mount Dingus and by.

was more than 80 per cent a failure,
still the growers made some profit, not
withstanding that they were Al the
mercy of the commission men and
compelled to accept whatever these
gentlemen chose to pay them. This
coming season there will probably be
some where between 1000 and 1900
acres planted.
Owing to the unsatisfactory results
OF marketing thru commission men.
the growers have organized them
selves into an. association to do their
own marketing in the future. They
have secured an office and appointed
an efficient and experienced general
manager. who Is now actively engaged
IN forming connections with eastern
dealers and doing other work pre-

Bows are more in evidence than tbev

keynote of the Fall fashions in hats.
Velvet is the favorite fabric" he con-
tinued by way of application. "A

Another characteristic of the new
models is that they reveal the hair. No
hat that discloses beneath it only a wide
expansc of face is artistic. Nor is it one
that most adorns the wearer and
emphasizes her charms. Which, after
being covering to protect the hair from

and turns slightly away from

v the hair waves away from the face.
About the brim, and draped as though
it were veil, is large, loose border of
aigrettes of royal blue.
The large hat pictured in the lower
right hand of the page is of cut felt
arranged in stitched overlapping rows.
The flaring, outward curving brim has a
border of brown velvet. Over the hat
and draped beneath the chin and flowing
over the shoulders, is a veil of ecru lace.
At the lower middle of the page the I'M
doubted influence of Spain upon the
present modes is strikingly apparent The
hat there pictured is one of those "called
large" Last season this hat would have
been termed tricorne. But the shape is
bent out of that semblance and more
nearly approaches those worn by Spanish
cavaliers. The large medallion Of mingled
silver and white enamel is suggestive of
Spain. Spanish, too, is the black lace veil
draped from the sides of the hat and be-
meath the chin. The lace drapery falls,
shawl-like, about the figure and is draped
about the shoulders at the back.
At the upper right of the page are dis
played the possibilities that may be de-
veloped from green felt. The small.
