LATE PARIS HATS
Headgear for New Season Must
Be Large, Makers Say.
For Younger Girls There Are Many
Models Trimmed With Strings
Of Flowers.

The Partisan insists that the hat OF
the new season shall be large. Then.
even If it is small hat, 1t Is still
large, which sounds like a paradox.
but which is so, nevertheless. The
small hats have larger contours. They
are more ample-not held so closely to
the head.
OF course, observes an authority, the
French hat Is not an easy matter to
describe. 1t is an Elusive thing with
out so very much that Is cOnspicuously
notable about it, but with so much
subtlety and so much charm that Its
description becomes something to
elude one completely. At each Of the
Partisan hat shops something new Is
seen to charm ones sight and to lure
one into the spending Of much money
for these head fixings which are SO
delightful to contemplate, let alone to
wear.
Some Of the hats have large bows
of malines tied so that their loops
reach far beyond the confines Of the
brim. This trick is again repeated with
lace either in black or in some OF the
dyed shades that are so fashionable
for the afternoon and evening dresses.
Rose is the color that is most IA
vored in Paris for daytime hats-espe'
cially for those which are called sport
hats. 1t is deep tone Of rose that
verges upon the cerise and for a Ger
tain type Of young person there could
be nothing better. One of these, In
soft and pliable felt, was worn with
blue-gray tweed suit and gray FOX

PUT SHIN IN BOYS SPINE
Five Inches From His Leg Used to
Replace Diseased Bone In
Boys Back.

Philadelphia.-An operation In
which five inches of shin bone were
cut from the leg Of four-year-old
boy to replace five inches Of his spine
was performed in hospital here.
The patient, George Hawkinson'
was brought from his home at Con-
cord, Mass, by his parents. He Is
paralyzed from the hips down.
The operation took an hour and
twenty minutes. The piece OF back
bone that was removed was diseased
and is said to have caused the paraly-
sis. 1t was not necessary to put a
plate in the boys leg, as physicians
said that, because Of his age, the shin
bone will grow in such manner as
to replace the portion removed.
