The Marriage Problem,

You can no more make yourself
keep on loving some one to order than
you can make yourself fall in or out
of love with some one to order. It's
like asking small boy to light a
street lamp with only a match. He
can't reach-the whole things beyond
him. That's the tragedy-the whole
relationship Is dependent on some
thing that sails as airily remote above
your head as a drifting cloud. To
base on that an irrevocable agree
ment? It's simply asking for trou-
BILE. It's like jumping into ten feet
Of water without knowing whether
you can swim or not, and then COM
planning because you're drowned

Burial of Braddock

Gen. Edward Braddock was buried
In the middle Of the road about 50
miles from Cumberland, Nd Care
was taken to close the grave and have
the troops and wagon train pass over
1t to efeace all marks of the burial
This was to prevent dissertation of the
remains by the Indians Many years
later General Braddock's grave was
discovered when a road was being
built through that part of Pennsylva-
MIA. Part of the bones of Braddock
finally found their way to a museum
in Philadelphia. 1t is said that some
of them were also taken to England.
At any rate they were removed from
their resting place in the forest.

Grizzly Bear Not a Hunter of Men.

The general idea that the grizzly

have the two predominating colors

this seems to be the psychological mo-

are women who have never worn
purple before in their lives and who
may not do 30 again, who are wear

plish shades.
The dark rich green's are always
offered for our choosing in the Au-
tumn, but we usually pass them by.
under the impression that they are
rather unbecoming. Less of this
prejudice seems to be in the air.
Perhaps the green's offered are more
becoming. There ia one Of the greens
offered by some Of the milliners that is

other bear had gone he ate 1t quietly
and in peace.
Another time bear was observed
with a half can Of salmon. The can
was too small for him to get his nose
into or his paw. He turned it upside
down and shook it. still it stuck inside
the can. Then he did exactly what
most humans would do in a similar
position. he put it on the ground. up

Interestingly enough in a season
when colors have been stressed al
much as they have been at tho prese mt
time and when the prejudice against
high colors has been removed to 20
great an extent, the fact remains
or rather is cropping up persistently
that black hats are amazingly well
liked at the present time by tho most
smartly dressed women. The mil
liners Will tell YOU that there Is more
demand now for black hats than there
was last October. After all 1t Is
almost impossible to persuade a
French woman that she does not need
at least one black hat in her ward
robe. and 80 long as Paris continues
to have the first II not the last say
In matters OF dress black hats Will
never cease to be in good repute.

the cloche shape was a thing OF

place of pre-eminence it did IS months
ago, when to say hat" was almost
always to say "cloche,' for women

But there are still cloches-that is

Little figures dug up in the Island
OF Crete north of Africa and directly
below Greecel show the Egyptian wom-
en- who lived approximately 1900 years
ago were not so very different from
the women of today.
They had mirrors Of polished silver,
instruments for manicurine their
nails. rouge and face powder. furs.
jewels, flounces and corsets. They
had bath tubs with hot and cold Wa
ter, too, which seems all the stranger
when we consider that these were
scarcely known in America at the
time of Washington.
The rea son we know such a great
deal about the Egyptians and their
habits is that they buried their posses
sions in their tombs thinking to take
them into their afterlife.

you hear conflicting rumors
~ about hats. and the woman
who likes to post you on the
1 latest fashions may tell you
things about the new MILL
,hery that contradict some observations
you have made elsewhere,
Thus, Young little Mrs. knowIt-
All who lives in a small town but
who has recently been In New York
assures her friends that hats are no
longer being worn down low on the
brow. They are up and off the face
in front. All the smart girls In New
York are wearing them that way. She
bought some new little hats at one OF
the specially shops in the theatrical
district and she is ready to argue the
matter with any one who still thinks
It IS the fashion to wear hats down
low on the forehead. Why. that's
old stuff. Nobody in New York Is
doing that any more.
And then there is Mrs. Smith. Her
husband you know. has recently ac-
qIired quite Il fortune-they spent
last Summer travelling, had their first
whiff of salt air and their first glimpse
of European shores. Mrs. Smith spent
several weeks in Deauville, and what
she can't tell you about Deauville
and all the mad. rich folk who 80
there isn't worth telling. And Mrs.
quired droop TO her eyelids that largo
hats are all the rage. Small hats are
quite passee.
The trouble Is that Mrs. Smith spent
too much time in Deauville and a
few other resorts and too little time
in Paris she thinks of France only
as a summer resort. and foreetS that
summer sunshine wanes and sands on
the sea grow cold and gray In France
Ia,- - ,tt., t,N
large hat was unriValed for "A Summer
fashion. hut for cool weather the
small hat has again assumed i'm
porta nee. France designers do not
forget the logic that makes the wide
sombrero the favorite hat of sunny
Spain and the ose-ftting turban the
hat Of Northern Russia.
To be sure. there are large hats
among those shown and already worn
for Autumn and Winter. They are
much more in evidence now than they
were Il months ago. but they have
by no means displaced the smart. mar
rowbrimmed cloche. the heretta. the
helmet. the toque and the tricorne.
Some keen observer has said that in
Paris 90 per cent of the women now
wear narrow brmmed or hrlmless
hats. while at Deauville and other
smart resorts IN August 90 per cent
of the women Wore wide brimmed
hats.
NOV as to the hat that shows the
forehead. Are hats going TO be
worn high up in front, are eye-brows
again going to be visible? There has
been-unmistakably vogue for the
little hat that rounds up in front, to
show the eyebrows and the forehead.
II has had considerable popularity
with young women whom we still re.
fer to as f1appers for lack Of better
name. But there have been innumer-
able very we'll dressed American wom-
en- who have never thought of adopt
ing this fashion. So far Paris de-
signers seem TO be making hats de-
signed to be worn as far down on the
forehead a s ever. And OF course a
hat that is not specially designed to
show some of the brow ought never,
never to be worn so that 1t does.

The fact is that more yards OF

Of the world, and proportionately
many more velvet hats are offered
