ing additional insurance up to maxi
mum of $4,000 for those receiving a
monthly salary of 5000 or more. The

krouphead at Houston, stands the best

on to be filled by a Republican APP
bointee, according TO rumors among
ederal officeholders in San Antonio.
Hamilton left the office after he
was arrested by state rangers who
charged him with conspiring to sell
liquor stills which he had seized. He
old his superior that he would not
Ftay in office with such charge

Although Vann is in charge of the
prohibition forces in the Houston ter

Vann is an intimate friend of r. b.
Creager. a member of the Republican
National committee. His experience
bs an officer has been long and varied.
About % years ago he was sheriff
bf Kerr county. He has served as a
leputy marshal. During the Roose-
Felt administration he was collector
6f customs at Brownsville. Prior to
bis appointment as grouphead, he was
special agent for the Missouri. Kan
has and Texas Railroad Company.
At the time a complaint was filed
against Hamilton. he asked to be re-
ieved of his duty as grouphead while
he charges were pending against him.
Prohibition Agent J. Fl. Mckay was
appointed by State Director Frank
Cole to act as grOuphead.
Although Hamilton and other wit
hesses in the case appeared before the
Federal grand jury, the inquisitorial
body made its final report several
weeks ago without returning an in
lictment.
Shortly after the complaint was
filed. Hamilton made public a state
hent to the effect that he had sold
be stills as junk and had turned the
money received from the sale of the
Junk over to the treasury department.

have long, curving feathery tails, are
also quite at the height of the mode.
When the large hat is worn it is
usually very large, sometimes with
the brim much wider in back than in
front. And where a woman finds a
large hat more becoming she may
quite properly select one. One large
black hat was trimmed with a band
of silver ribbon which fell through a
slit in the brim in two large loops
over the right ear. Many n grace
fully draped veil is used in this same
manner.
In fact, this tendency OF all trim
ming to go TO the right was carried
out to such an extent by one smart
Partisan that she wore a long sinuous
earring On the right ear only, leav-
ing the left ear quite unadcrned. 1t
hardly seems likely that may Amer
leans will carry this fashion to such
an extreme but it does show how
strong this tendency it.
However. these large hats do not
as get enjoy the popularity of the
smaller one. And though they may
burst into highest favor any day, it
is hardly possible that the fashion
will continue for long.
With the soft, dainty summer
dresses the hat is usually softer,
though there may be a little stiffen-
ing in the brim. It is a very charm
ing fashion, too, TO keep our sitter
hats for our more tailored costume
And soft crushed little model is so
lovely with a dainty dress.
Evening Hat to Return.
It is rumored that the evening hat,
which has been absent so long, is
returning to high favor. 1t is really
quite a natural development when
one stops TO think about it. Ban
deau1 have been growing wider and
more elaborate than ever. So some
clever milliner just ut tulle top on
a wide bandeau and the evening hat
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-03-25

was in vogue. And after it had gone
that far naturally little tulle brims
were added. This does not mean that
the bandeau is going out. Just the
opposite. For the wider and moro
elaborate the bandeau that is worn
with formal frock. the smarter the
costume. 1t is just shows our tendency
to wear some sort of head covering
at every possible moment. This de-
sire for headgear is certain to last
while the bodied heads are growing
out, for it solves many a problem Of
bair dressing. And the person to
whom the simple smooth style of
coiffure is unbecoming-and unfor-
tunately there are many such-is sure
to follow this fashion with enthu-
siasm.
Wells Winning Favor.
The veil is enjoying high favor this
season and quite deservedly.
On q windy, blusterly day of early
spring how trinity smart and dashing
is the wearer of veil. And how
great is her composure when she
knows that her hair is not string n;
ABOUT her lace but is just as it was
when she last peeped into a mirror.
The graceful folds Of the draped lace
veil seen so often in the afternoon
are very flattering too. And count
less are the ways in which such
veil may be draped. A gold veil COW
ering the crown Of a brown hat and
falling in loops close to the face would
surely be priced addition to any
wardrobe. Or a small hat may al
low its veil to hang straight down
in the back, but he draped up a little
under the chin. This slight draping
is held in place by pins placed close
to the edge of the veil. Where these
wells are worn the hat is very plain
and without anw other trimming. The
veil itself is very elaborate. IT may
be beautifully figured mt the edge or
of some delicate light color.

shades Of gray are trimmed with
silver cloth, while those Of brown
favor the gold. In these little hats,
dark blue and black are conspicuous
by their absence.
For sports wear this felt mode is
quite the most popular. The shape is
just the same as the street hat, but
the trimming is much more simple,
The ever favored silk bandanna is
drawn tightly across the tur1ed-down
brim of many a smart little hat which
will take its way around the golf
course some sunny morning. And the
wearer of a felt cloche with a flat
ribbon cockade is certain to be seen
that very same day, so popular is this
style. Even silver cloth made its
appearance for sport wear when the
hat was Of beautiful white.
The soft felt hat which may be
modelled to the wearer's every mood
is just right for sports wear, though
it is not worn with n street frock.
Hats for Afternoon Wear.
With the hat TO be worn with an
afternoon frock feathers are in high
favor, but invariably they are turned
down and reach far below the brim
of the hat. The crowns of these hats
are so generally rounded and cone
shaped that a square crown is quickly
noticeable, though they do make their
appearance now and then.
A lovely little hat worn at q very
fashionable tea recently had a small
rundown brim, and an uncurled os-
trich plume which started at the mid
die of the back Of the crown and
falling over the right ear curved
gracefully under the charming wear
er's chin. Almost every feather used
tries to follow this same general line.
Frequently one will see an ostrich
feather plucked so that the featherJ
part is just a little pompom at the
end.

Seasons Hat Must Have Individual Touch

II IL often said-and quite truly
that you can always tell when
woman is wearing new hat by The
grstified. pleased expression on her
face. Somehow. with a becoming new
hist she feels well dressed, no matter
how old and shabby her frock or her
cont may be. And smart hat really
does set off the costume as well as
the face. marvelously. But perhaps
the newest idea is TO have a hat
which is suitable and appropriate with
the rest Of ones costume. In fact,
the real secret of being well dressed
is the ability to wear things that 90
well together and are becoming to you.
The woman who has very few cos
tunes. but makes them complete by
having her hat just perfectly suited
to her frock and her shoes, gloves and
hosiery in perfect accord, will always
look well dressed, even though she
wears that same costume every day
tn the year.
Unless one keeps strict rein on
ones self, one is apt 10 see some
charming little hat In a shop win
dow whose great appeal lies in the
ksct that II Is wholly different from
the things we have and Of which we
are terribly tired. II, in addition to
this, Il s becoming and the saleslady
n clever-ws are lost and buy it
without further thought. But this
really l. not necessary, for never be-
fore have we been offered such count
less varieties. and variations Of the
naIllinsry mode.
Smart Street Wear.
For street wear the little felt cloche
b still quite the smartest- Generally
tie crown Of the cloche is high and is
either rounded or cone shaped. But
IN the brim and in the trimming the
variation 10 infinite. One smart little
model has a narrow brim turned
down % sharply in front that it re-
sernbles q bonnet and in the back 1t
goes 70 the other extreme and turns
up - abruptly that it is fiat to the
crown Of the hat 1t is trimmed with
. fuzzy little pompom far back on
the right side. This tendency is seen
on countless smart hats. The trim
ming Is way back on the right side
and now and then even moving right
70 the back.
Another smart cloche has q narrow
tfim turned up on the left side and
abruptly down on the right. Flat
against the crown, pointing down to
the right shoulder is a quill.
Frequently one will see a little rib
bon cockade sewed fiat TO the crown
of the hat.
Still other styles OF the cioche will
be turned up in the front and an ex-
tremely narrow brim turned down in
the back. When this is the case a
fluffy little pompom will be seen
elinging closely to the right cheek.
Stiff Felts in Vogue.
A very unusual combination has
recently come into great vogue with
these stiff felt hats. A narrow bind
ing of silver or gold on the edge OF
the brim and sometimes a band OF
this same cloth around the crown.
