Nevertheless he was Il man and

HOW 1T STARTED
Paving the Piper
BY JEAN NEWTON.

This is phrase which is constantly
used ir everyday speech with refer
ence to the fact that everything i'm
life must be paid for; that there Is
nothing for nothing; that II we
would dance we must pay the fiddler
The implication Is usually that We
cannot escape the consequences Of
our acts.
The phrase takes its origin in an
old legend immortaliZed in the poem
The Pied Piper of Hamelin," written
in 1912 by Robert Browning. In his
poem, which is said to have been writ
ten for A child of Macready, the actor
Browning tells the tale of the piper
who agreed, in 1884. TO rid the town
OF Hamelin of its plague Of rats. and
when he was not paid his promised
reward lured with the same notes
that had conquered the rats-all the
precious children nf the village in ;he
mountains, where they disappeared
So the villagers who would hsve
evaded paying the piper" paid never
theless and much higher price

Large Hats and the Short Skirts
By MARY. MARSHALL.

"Will the big hat return is a
question that has been much heard
Of late. And. as you see, some people
say il will not-cannot until longer
skirts return--and others say that
women don't want II anyway because
they have found the small hat Is SO
comfortable. SO secure, so easy 10
wear in wind and rain, so convenient
with large fnr collars.
Then there is another thing to
consider. 1t has been said on pretty
good authority that women won't
wear large hats so long as they have
their hair cut short. and If they must
wear wide -brimmed hats then they
must lei their hair grow. So you
see, as the matter stands. large hats
cannot come in while hair and skirts
are worn very short. as they are at
the present time-and. anyway, most
women very much prefer the small
hat.
So there doesn't seem 10 he a very
plea SAINT outlook for the large hat
waiting for admission at the door Of
fashion. But interestingly enough. in
spite of all odds. the widehrimmed
hat does seem to he gaining ground.
Not for street hat and not as
rival for the comfortable. wearahle
little hat. but as a picturesque sort OF
dress hat.
In order to adapt themselves to the
fur collars which are To be found
on almost every sort ot coat now, and
which are Of quite generous proper
tions. the new wide -hrimmed hats are
usually very. very short -brimmed nj
the back-sometimes the hrim Is
turned up and sometimes 1t is entirely
lacking al that point.
Among the large hats of the season
Lewis of Paris has been making some
known as Rembrandt shapes. They
are decidedly picturesque and trimmed
only with a scarf to match wound
around the crown. Often these Lewis
hats are faced with richly embellished
material.
