Appear Straw Is Revived More Silk Is Liked for Hats
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

A y American home from Paris
~ said: why don't our women
~ wear straw hats as they once
4 n did? What has caused the
changer The question is hard to
answer. Possibly the milliners are.
back of the movement to persuade
women to change their hats through
out the year and not swirl from vel
vet to straw semi-anuually. giving
slight chance TO the delightful things
that can be concocted between sea-
sons.
In other years it was not foolish to
wear a sunshade hat of straw with
roses when the sleet was beating
against our heads. At least, it wasn't
foolish from woman's point OF
view, although the men, as usual,
rallied against it. They do SO like TO
think we have disorderly minds or
capricious ones.
Just now. between the seasons,
women are looking kindly upon silk
as the first reasonable change from
velvet. felt and plush. They ask IL
taffeta is in fashion. and are told that
no one has decided. What then?
"Watered silk" is the answer. Once
e we called 1t moire, with an American
accent Now, in our burning Amer
Icanism we find that moire means
watered silk, which relieves US from
the effort Of attempting to pronounce
il. If one likes shaded taffeta better,
il is entirely fashionable.
This particular fabric is as fash
ionable for trocks as for hats. 1t
made its appearance last spring in
evening gowns the color Of parch-
ment. The exclusives wore it now
and then to show they knew what
was new This year its use is not
limited to a small set of individuals
who follow French fashions as soon
> they are launched in Paris and
forsake them when they are popular
in America. II will be worn by hun
dreds who care not fig for French
styles.
The shops make much Of it. The
dressmallers offer it, It comes in all
colors. At times it deceiyes one into
thinking it is velvet; il is thin
enough TO serve a spring day and a
summer night.
AIilIiners received the news of its
incoming with joy and comfort. They
feared the public's indifference to
taffeta, which has been a continuous
performance, and they were not
quite sure that straw would be ac-
cepted in February. They counted
much on small fat embroidery done
after the manner shown in blouses,
but they had suspicion that the
public might demand something
newer, something with a more def
mite touch of a new season. So they
seized upon watered silk with eager
ness

hut this does not hurt their work.
Women like ribbon hats. They have
learped their usefulness. They delight
in their lack OF weight, their peculiar
adaptability to small spaces, which
they fill without crushing.
The wide sturdy ribbons OF this
season, are stiffened by concealed
wires to take whatever shape is de-
sired It is not necessary to keep
such hats collapsibIe. The new shapes
show tricornes, picture hats and Rus
. sian turbans built OF ribbon patterned
like bandanna handkerchiefs. OF bro
caded ribbon with tinsel figures, of
piain black satin ribbon with picot
edge.
The extravagant popularity Of ori-
entail silks threatens to oust colored
: ribbons, but there is 8 feeling shared
by the masses and the experts that
everyone is apt to be weary of these
Kashmir patterns before spring turns
to summer.
America does things by the millions.
so it is easy to believe that q million
oriental silk frocks. another million
Of dkerchief-covered hats and an
other million of kashmir patterned
jackets have been put into the chutes
that send clothes flying over this con-
"tinent.
There is bound to be a strong reac-
ton from the fashion. Let US hope
The trade will have unloaded on the
public, so it can quickly give US some
thing new.
Back TO ribbons for moment. They
are used for decorating hat as often
as for building one. Velvet ribbon
lined with iridescent tissue and vel
vet ribbon edged with narrow tinsel
play an important part in the hats
which go directly to the public this
;, week.
The upturned brims on several large
hats are made OF pleated or gathered
ribbon. They should be adopted only
by individualists, for they are not at
tractive over the majority OF faces.
Their charm lies in novelty, their ap-
peal is to those weary Of covering the
'eyes.
Here's a curious trick in manipu-
IItlNS TlDDol that spi dHS w dt the
turn of the year which is used on
frocks and coats as on hats: long
piece is doubled and run through two
si2able buttonholes an inch apart. The
ribbon falls as it will.
A certain new hat Of beige faille,
with sectional crown divided by sill
yer braid and upturned brm edged
with braid. has wide faille silk ribbon
run through two embroidered button
holes at side OF brim. 1t Is edged with
silver cloth.
The sectional crown has many spon-
sors. 1t goes well with the sleeveless

whether or not 1t Is ornamental is q
question of preference. European
women use a crown band of ribbed

The hat brim of early autumn was
cut away to permit the passage OF a
fur collar over the back Of neck, but
the fashion will continue after fur
collars disappear There is not much
hair to show in the back, but the line
is good. Sometimes the brim is rolled
up on itself like a tea wafer. Again
it is sharply cut away to the edge Of

or wide bow of ribbon or tinsel
braid and galloon. The lack OF brfm

Mr.. Bement in reply to the ques-
ton when will the o country
route be finished" says:
At the recent annual meeting Of
the board Of directors of the Lincoln
Highway Association. 1t was esti-
mated that by the end Of this year
taking into consideration the existing
contracts. over $50.00O,0 900 will have
been expended on the improvement
Of the Lincoln Highway. 1t was fur
ther estimated that at least 20.000.-
900 more, 1. g. IN amount equivalent
to that 1t vas assumed ten years
ago would complete the route. will
necessarily be invested in additional
improvement to open IN road
satisfactory for the traffic across
each state.
From these estimates 1t is evident
that bringing "the Nations Main
Street" to a satisfactory status Of
improvement will require a total ex-
penditure Of some 100000 600. At
the rate Of five or six million dollars
q year, a sum less than the average
expenditures of the past five years,
the first completion Of the route can
he foreseen about the end OF 1925.
OF course the route will be in splen-

RAILROAD HAS WATER WAGON
Continuance Said to Work Success
fully In Minimizing the DIseom-
forts OF Dusty Tracks.

An appliance for sprinkling the
right-of-way over the dusty stretches
Of track has been invented by W. II.
whalen, superintendent Los Angeles
division, and is being tried out with
apparent success by the Southern Pa
ciic on Its lines between Indio and
Palm Springs, heretofore a very dusty
section Of track. According TO the Lit
erary Digest, writer in the Southern
Pacific Bulletin (San Francisco) says:
1.-THE sprinkler consists Of a perfor-
ated pipe attached beneath the water
tender of the locomotive in such a way
that water is sprinkled on the track
as the train passes over IL. According
to Mr.. Whalen the experiments have
proved very satisfactory, and South
ern Pacific is planning the installation
of these sprinklers on all It's passenger
locomotives operating in desert coun-
try. The scheme Is an innovation In
railroad operation. The Southern Pa
cific has made various attempts to
allay dust by sprinkling oil over its
right OF way in desert country. but
none of them has proved as effective
as the railroad water wagon"

FRAGRANCE ON PRISON AIR
Electric Perfumer in Cleveland County
jail Arouses Mind to All Kinds
Of Possibilities.

Altar Of roses and sweet scents Of
Araby There's an electric perfumer
at the county jail. 1t casts all kinds
Of sweetness on the prison air. Just
turn the button and the jail becomes
a garden Of roses or fragrant with the
scent of orange blossoms
The other day the atmosphere Of
the Jail reflected the aroma of the for
est cedar. 1t might have been Norway
pine, sassafras crab apple blossom,
but 1t just happened that the perfumer
was charged to dispense an aroma
tinged with forest cedar.
The machine has possibilities, the
sheriff believes. 1t might be employed
to awaken the prisoners each morning
with scents of violets and soothe them
at breakfast with odors of ham, eggs,
corn frltters, grapefruit and other
viands not on the regular morning
menu of coffee and BUTTERFLIES bread.
Oh, yes, indeed, the machine has pos
sibilitles At night 1t could discharge
the odor Of pineapple or figs or dates,
and any prisoner with a good sense
of smell and strong imagination
could readily go to sleep and feel that
he was in Hawaii.
But the perfumer is in jail only on
trial.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

ALMOST PUT HIS FOOT IN IT
Visitor In Small Town Found He Had
to Be Exceptionally Careful
About Offending ln-Laws.

There Is a town In the Southwest
where the families have intermarried
10 such an extent that 1t is difficult
for an outsider TO make the leasi
criticism of one person without the
danger Of offending some family con-
nection. When an unfortunate visitor
commented on this fact TO Mr.. Jones,
the postmaster, Mr. Jones nodded.
Bill Perkins-that's our sheriff
complained Of that no longer ago than
last week" said he, according to the
Philadelphia Ledger
You see, II took him more'n a week
to arrest Frank because Frank got
wind that he was wanted on a little
matter Of sellin' moonshine, and he
went on a round Of visits amongst his
relatives, aunts, nephews-in-law and
don't know what all. and 1t wasn't till
he had had his I'LL and went back home
to his wife that Bill could make the
arrest without seeming to kind Of butt
In, as you might say. and spoil the
reunions"
II should think he would make q
strange sort Of sheriff." said the VS.
itor, waiting all the time for senti-
mental reasons and then arresting a
man when he went home, just be-
cause his wife wasn't a relation!"
Whereupon the postmaster drew
himself up and assumed a remote ex-
preston.
That's as you look at It," he said

prejudiced in Bits favor, as he mar
ried my son-in-law's youngest sister

Dream Of Death Fulfilled.

To dream Of an accident three times
and then witness its fulfillment has
been the unhappy experience just re-
corded Of Hobart (Tasmania) man.
A labOrer employed by the Hobart
city corporation was turning the hand
winch Of a crane The jib Of the crane
swung around and wire rope came
into contact with the high tension cleo
trio wires overhead. The result was
that the laborer was electrocuted. A
week before the accident one of the
mans workmates was uneasy in his
mind. He was troubled by a strange
dream that was repeated three times.
In his dream he saw a fatal accident
at the crane. 1t occurred In exactly
the same way as that which caused
the actual accident. He told his mates
of the dream, which had made such a
deep impression upon him. and 1t was
the subject Of considerable discussion
The fulfillment of the dream came as
a shock to those who had been made
familiar with the story.

ODD APPEAL TO UNCLE SAM
Congressman Thought Old Gentleman
Might Have Some Kind Of
Statue Lying Around.

There Is a military officer in the
office Of the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds at Washington
who, from a recent experience, has
reason 10 believe that some members
Of congress are unreasonable.
A representative from a remote dis
trict in q far southern state tele
phoned him for a statue Of some
INDEPENDENTLY a figure Of soldier"
The representative went on TO explain
that a little town In his district has
decided to honor its several young
townsmen. who were killed in the
World war, and not having an abund-
ance Of money to spend on a memorial
some Of the leading citizens had Won.
dered II Uncle Sam couldn't help out.
q thought your office no doubt had
some statues laying around that you
had not selected sites for or else had
no further use for, in which event you
could let me have one TO ship down to
my constituents" the representative
explained In a serious and suave
manner.
The latter, according TO the army
officer, appeared more surprised than
disappointed when told over the tele-
phone that the Office Of public build
ings and grounds was out Of spare
statues.
