The white velvet hat has more nov
city than the black satin one and for
this reason the milliners took more
notice of it. Cal1ot, Worth, and Cha
mel attempted to make white a cere-
monial color in the early autumn and
it may be that their attempts will
bring back white velvet into first fash
ion.
There were wide-brimmed hats of
white velvet worn with black gowns
in the afternoon; the crown decora-
ton is a wide scarf of silver Indian
lace. This same scarf is put on a
black velvet hat.
There are modified white Russian
turbans such as the one Suzanne Tai
bot makes in ruby red; they are orna-
mented with italian silver lace in the
open Florentine pattern.
Possibly there may be a reaction
in favor of the white hat. but at
this hour the majority of women are
running true to tradition in accepting
the all-black hat or the black hat with
the silver ornamentation.

Paint Here and There.

1t doesn't take long to paint the
outside window sills in your house
and it is well worth while if they are
badly worn or soiled- In fact the
time it takes to give window stills a
new coat of paint is considerably less
than the time required to scour off
deeply ingrained dirt. OF course be-
washed free of all surface dirt and
made so clean that you can rub your
hand over them without soiling it, but
they do not have to be secured spot

a rather appealing doctrine, for women

SAYS MRS. ADAIR
ISA" "SERVICE MAN.

Very properly, I think, people are
showing a disposition at this time when
so many are presenting their claims
for public office, to select out from
the bunch those who have a record OF
service. With regard to those who
served in the world war, the good
faith of the people is pledged, Other
things being equal, to give their CLAIMS
first consideration am reminded
also that there were those who did
valiant and unselfish service III non
military capacity, and in this connee
tion L wish to speak word for Mrs
j. M. Adair who is candidate fol
county treasurer.
In one on the various "advisory'
capacities [ had occasion to have a
good deal of business with the local
exemption board during the war. In
all of that much overwOrked organiza
tion there was none who worked harder
or more faithfully than Mrs. Adair. AS
principal clerk it fell to her lot to
meet the public and answer questions.
The inquiries often involved problems
of life and death to those who were
subject to the draft and the duty of
explaining to the people all the com
plex regulations of the draft required
the utmost tact and patience. Mrs.
Adair filled this situation for more
than year and l often had occasion
to observe the sympathetic understand
ing which she exhibited in dealing with
those whose whole fortune and career
and perhaps even life were involved
in correct explanation of their rela'
tion to the draft. She worked early
and late, never lost her patience and
never gave the wrong answer. And sc
in considering those who served, let Us
not overlook this woman who is as neal
"service man" as some of those who
wore the uniform.
