NEW NOTES IN
CHIC HATS
BY Rita Stuyyesant-

WY HAT woman thinks CT
" spring without also
w thinking of lovely new
hats? And this season they are
varied and colorful.
The new Lanvin green hats
are Interestingly worn with dark
suits, or with the smart sport
suit. Hats Of straw, gros de
Londre, and satin crepe are made
up in this color and some are OF
the large floppy type, while
others favor the small turmoil
the face models. Flowers, and
feather fancies run rivalry for
trimmings, and some depend en-
tirely on wool stitchery for
decoration.
Black and white combinations
are we'll liked. A large hat of
white felt, with soft crown and
brim that turns down, is broader
in front than in the back. 1t is
embroidered in black angora
wool, and has an edging of black
stitch.
Wells that conceal yet reveal
the eyes are featured extensively.
A poke effect in black taffeta is
trimmed with three-inch lace that
droops off the brim and Is allowed
to fall in two long streamers at
either side of the ears.
A stunning hat for early spring
Is of beige colored straw and
combines this with lace of the
same shade. The hat is a small,
poke effect, and the lace Is ar
ranged like a veil, falling only to
the tip of the nose. Around the
crown, small flowers in pastel
colorings nestle in gay profusion.
The new Hindu turbans worn
with plain frocks are interesting;
made from the printed silks and
knitted fabrics, they are wound
in graceful lines about the head.
Long earrings Of Oriental design
are usually worn with these hats.
All sorts of unusual notes are
introduced for sports, and one
finds hats of printed Persian ra-
tine. running close rivals. to
rakish felt affairs.

what his business was.
In reply he smilingly took out
card and asked for Mr.. Skinner.
The girl started at the card and
hesitatingly departed for the gem

moments she returned and mo.

fashion Mr. Peck made his en-
trance into the office OF the
irascible Skinner.

eye. Some day I'll make you
sorry for saying that"
Whereupon he wheeled and
went out. slamming the door.
Skinner frowned; he was not
wholly pleased with himself, but
the troubles OF Bill were speedily
forgotten over more pressing
problems.
Mr.. Peck wandered out Of the
offices considerably crestfallen.
AS a go-getter he had failed: no
had felt sure when he entered
that he would come forth with
job; he was not seeking charity
and he had faith that he was able
to deliver the goods.

WHEN TRIALS COME
HAVE YOU FAITH IN YOURSELF?

: cause you give it power and life.
What is the use of victimizing
yourself like that? Did you
,nurmur:
II can't help it. What am I
to do when things go wrong, but
face the fact that they are 60
ing wrong and try to reconcile
myself to the knowledge that I'm
one of those un1ucky folks who
can't have anything
Wait! I must interrupt you.
You can't be permitted to bury
yourself under fog Of misunder-
standing and to destroy your"
self in a tissue Of false beliefs.
All you have to do is remember
that change is the law Of nature
and that sunlight inevitably fol-
lows darkness. And that is the
principle on which all of life Ia
conducted.
Have faith in yourself. Have
confidence in the law of your
being. Know that work is bound
to meet with reward. 1t doesn't
always come as quickly as you
would like. You don't see the
results for which you long just at
the moment when you most want
them. But cause and effect are
the realities of life. And effort al
ways results in achievement. You
may be working toward one goal
and find that you have arrived at
another. You may be trying to
effect one thing and discover
another channel. But the chan
mel is there.
Life has no blind alleys. It
has plenty OF dark ones-but they
end somewhere. There Is always
way out. Storms don't last.
Sometimes they blow out to sea.
Sometimes they spend themselves.
But always they come to an end.
And there is a tomorrow beyond
today.
Storms seldom work the havoc
we fear. They always give way
to sunshine. So in your own life
you will find that If you nave
the courage and the sanity to
weather tse storm, you can work
past disappointment and failur,
| to the success of which no one
save yourself can deprive you.

the surrounding country. That's

I am too young. love this
man dearly, and it would be
impossible for me to give him
up. My parents have no rea-

and dishonest.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ I am nineteen and in love
with a man four years my
senior. We have been going
out with each other for quite
some time, until recently we
had a quarrel. He claims he is
right and I know am right.
Ever since we had the quarrel
we haven't seen each other. /
know that he is waiting for me
to call him and I am waiting
for him to call me.
Please tell me what to do.
Do you think I should call him,
because I know he won't call
me, as he is very stubborn and
he listens to whatever his
friends tell him?

IF you love your pride better
- than you love the man, don't
call him. If you care for him,
what is a telephone call? Why
not be generous and loving and
forgiving? 1t is by such gra-
ciousness that real love ond
