King Georges Hat.

A short time ago photographs from
England showed that the white top
per" had come back into vogue. King
George and other notables were de-
picted wearing these queer pipelike
titles" at the races and other places
of social assemblage, and the hat
makers rejoiced greatly, for there
was a chance that this extraordinary
bit of headgear, for which any fancy
price may be charged. might be adopt
ed as the proper wear in this coun-
try. But the menaced invasion Of the
white topper" has probably been
stopped. The King of England has
abandoned that grotesque article, ap-
pearing at the Goodwood races in a
bowler For the benefit Of those
not already versed in British nomen-
clature it should be said that bowler
is what we call in this country a
derby. In England the king sets the
styles. If he wears topper. then top
pers are the vogue. If he puts on what
before the war was called HON.
burg" the same kind Of a hat that in
this country we call Fedora" then
most of England turns to the soft hat.
If his toppiece is of velour. then the
fuzzy hat is seen everywhere. Now
that he has appeared at the races in a
bowler probably most Of England will
turn out round-headed. Over here the
derby hat has almost passed from use.
whereas a few years ago 1t was the
wear of four-fifths Of the men. Per-
haps by repercussion from England
the bowler will be restored to its old
popularity here in the autumn when
the season calls for the discarding OF
the straws.

A SIGN of Health.

The number of candidates for office
and candidates are plentiful in all
the states this years. a sign OF
health, Ambitious men-men who
keep an eye on public conditions and
study public questions-see something
worth contesting for, and so are put.
ting out their heads.
They are right. There is something
"a good deal-worth contesting for
Never has there been more. A new
era is opening. New opportunities for
public service are alluring. The man
with a taste and a talent for public
affairs finds it difficult to resist the
appeal.
1t is one Of our boasts, well sup
ported by the record, that our institu.
tions produce many competent men,
They encourage interest in govern
ment. Feeling himself a part, an
agency, Of government, every worthy
man reasons that, according to his
station he should contribute Of his
best to the proper conduct Of the gov.
ernment
And so he should. Either in Office
or as a supporter Of those called to
office, he should discharge his full
duty as citizen-should strain in
every way to promote the public well
fare, and assist in pushing the country
along the pathway Of true progress.
With an abundance Of candidates to
choose from, and means of ascertain
ing their merits, the voters will be
without excuse If the November re.
suit should prove disappointing, and
something substantial is not achieved
toward a return to normalcy.

Whence These Romantic Names

Where do the styles in girls names
come from? The naming of boys is a
conservative process. 1t goes on from
generation to generation with the
same John and Thomas and George
and Henry and William. Only occa-
s1onally does some devoted parent
break out with the names of Napo-
Icons marshals for his sons.
But the girls. Today the residence
| streets echo to the call Of Jane Ellen
ana Emmy Lou and Margaret 10 and
Mary Rose. We speak subject to cor
rection in such matters. but it is our
distinct impression that the double
name is a fairly recent DEVELOPMENT.
| Mary Ann there used to be, but not
| all these others.
These names are simple and old
fashioned and pleasing. They are not
| mentioned in disapproval, only in
| mild wonder as to how they came. A
generation back and fashions were
much more romantic. We all know
Alethas and D'Arlines and Zulas and
Zulimes and Nadines.
These are western names. Tn tbe
east the names a generation back
certainly were not so unusual. There
were few Patiences and Harmonys

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Children.

The children play at keeping school.
Each wants to be the teacher.
In other games each seeks to rule
AS parent or as preacher.
And when at last strife grows intense
Where once they played so sweetly
They take their dolls and dishes hence
And stop the game completely.
As our contentious, great or small,
Grow b;tterer and bolder,

Men are but boys, grown older"
