hold greater favor than ever before
because we have worn small shapes for
such a long time that we readily turn
to sthe larger models as a relief from

Black is seen in the small shapes
too, as these are practical necessities in
many cases. Silk and tsraw COM

of the new collections. Then, too, there
is the happy medium Of the hat which

shapes are made with odd brims of an

quite large by the feather or robbon
trimming which extends way beyond
the brim limits.

ENGLISH. PLATE
IDENTIFIED BY
Marks
First Now in Existence Found
on Cup and Spoon That Be-
Ionged to Henry VI.

A few brief observations upon
English hall marks on gold and
silverware will be found Of inter-
est and value.
Hallmarks enable us to ascribe
any piece of plate, so marked, to
the exact year in which it may
have been made. The necessity of
adding a certain amount Of alloy
with gold and silver which in the
perfectly pure state are too soft
and ductile, has called for the en-
ployment Of standard OF fine
quality by which the real value Of
the worked material might be
known.
The privilege Of assaying precious
metals was conferred upon the
Goldsmiths' Company as far back
as the year 1900 by a statute which
declared also the required quality
of the metal which should be used.
Within sixty or seventy years
afterwards it is found that three
distinct marks were to. be i'm
pressed on every piece which was
examined; namely, the assay.mark,
probably a letter of the alphabet;
the initials of the maker, and the
leopard's head, crowned. Later
statutes have made various regula-
tons, all directed to prevent decep-
ton by dishonest makers and in
flicting penalties on transgressors.
The stamps at present impressed
in London on all plate at Cold
smiths hall, are, for sivler: the
leopard's head, the lion PEASANT,
the date mark, a letter OF the
alphabet, the makers mark, and the
kings head; for gold: a crown and
% to Is according to standard.
Other towns besides London have
assay offices with some token OF
distinction; such as Chester, Dublin
and Edinburgh, etc.
Very fine examples Of Elizabethan
and earlier English plate which
have not been marked are in many
collections. The omission is always
unfortunate; not so much because
doubt may occasionally arise as
to whether the piece may or may
not be Of English work, but there
is no other absolutely certain guide
to the exact date.
The first date which is now
known upon any piece Of plate is
1445; which is to be found upon a
grace-cup Gvory mounted in silver
gilt, and upon a silver spoon said
to have belonged to Henry the
Sixth, preserved at Horribly castle
in Lancashire. After that year
there are many blank years Of

OWEN PROMISES
To SUPPORT
BONUS
"A"H
Oklahoma Senator Explains
Attitude on Adjusted
Compensation.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.

The soldiers bonus today was
given a substantial boost in it's
passage through Congress by United
States Senator Robert L. Owen,
Dem.) Of Oklahoma, who declared
in an exclusive statement to Cos
mopolitan News Service that he will
support the measure in the Senate.
Senator Owen has recently an
Mounced that he will not be a can
didate for reelection. His term ex-
pires in 1925.
World War veterans, particularly
those Of the American Legion, have
supposed that on account Of owens
vote to uphold former President
Harding's veto Of the bonus meas
ure in the last Congress, he would
be opposed to a similar measure
during this Congress. owen today
explained his vote in the last Con-
gresS.
"The reason I voted to sustain
the Harding veto," he said, was
because Of the representations of
the Secretary Of the Treasury that
the treasury was facing deficit Of
$500, 100000 and those who framed
the bill and who were responsible
for it failed and refused to make
provision in the bill for raising
funds to protect the Treasury.
1.-THE conditions are different now.
We no longer face a deficit. The
world is reacting from the war
conditions and under the plan OF
amortization which recently sug-
gested and placed before Congress,
the cost Of adjusted compensation
requiring a total of $2,OOO,OOO,OOO
could be liquidated in fifty years at
q cost of a little over 100000, 600
per annum, or about 81 per capita
annual tax.
II believe the taxpayers Of Amer
lea would approve this settlement
and that as their representative, l
would be justified in supporting 1t.
II have always felt tender about
voting additional taxes upon our
people and would not be willing
to vote a tax on them against their
will, especially where my own poll
teal fortunes were being promoted
by voting the tax on the people.
81 am happy now to feel that
such motive could not be i'm
puted to me-"
