TODAY we're going to talk
about hats again, for our
fashion notebook is just bulg-
ing with hat items.
For instance, that simple
and lovely little hat from Ma
ria Guys, of black velvet,
with wide bands Of cream col
ored tulle set into the crown
what an a d va n ia G e for
Lovely Lady hair!
Marthe Regnier shows a black
felt with brim turned up in front
and down low in back, relieved by
a fan-shaped ornament Of wispy
feathers in several tones of grey,
which nearly covers the right side
of the crown.
j. Suzanne Talbot shows a girlish
model capeline, which has the top
of the crown and the outer edge of
the brim in black felt, the space
between being of chartreuse velvet
covered with crossing rows of fine
stitching.
TINE popularity of velvet is shown
i in a model of myrtle green by
Gaby Mono. The crown is plain
and rather turban-like, but the
brim, at sides and back, has been
shirred clevery to provide a grace
fully uneven line. A jeweled orna-
ment adds the final touch.
Camille Roger shows close-f1t-
ting little hat, very high on the
forehead made of cleverly inter
lands of black velvet and shaved
lamb.
Rose Valois is responsible for a
dashing Jade felt model. Like SO
many current models, it has the
brim turned up in front and down
in back, but the touch of originality
is given by the ample crown being
crushed slightly, and modernistic
gold spike" of unusual design,
iabbed through two Of the folds.

MAY CURTAH CLAMMING

Reports from Washington, p. C., states that the clam beds are so over -fished according to H. c. Mc- Mullin of the bureau of fisheries, that three men must dig where one was employed in 1923 for the same catch. To remedy depletion he has recommended that bag limit be placed on unlicensed dig gers and that the beaches bc clos ed entirely from October l to March 2. As this would seriously effect the prosperity of canneries which are not endangering the clam beds, it is likely that protest will be given.

WINTER SPORTS FIND
FAVOR IN GAY PARIS
Ski Jump, Made Possible With
Boracic Snow" Proves
Extremely Popular.

PARIS (N.ANA) Since Paris has
had its own Lido there seems no end to
the new, exotic joys the Partisan may
have in his own city.
In the Rue Des Sablons the skier may
now take of some 40 feet above ground
for run Of more than 1000 feet upon
boracic SNOW Ten tons of it. And
not only is it said that these boracic acid
! flakes are just as soft and slippery as
the genuine articles, but ski champions,
as well as amateurs demonstrate the
fact, and M. Thoret, airman who flew
| over Mont Blanc, attends with his ski
Shod airplane and describes his expert
enceS.
The object Of this Winter sports salon
is to remind the devotees of these snowy
pleasures that France has within her
own borders, resorts which can offer
them all the attractions Of Switzerland
itself
In the Rue Des Sablons beginners may
have the comforting knowledge that
their unsuccessful efforts will meet with
an immediate application of an almost
unlimited amount Of mild and home
ly antiseptic! Let those who demand
higher attitudes and the open air for
their skiing reflect upon this consider
able advantage.
Even the fox has left his den and
come to Paris to show the ladies what
he looks like before lawing down his
life for their adornment. He forms part
of remarkable collection of animals
that furnish Les Bellies Fourrures,"
collection gathered by the ministry of
agriculture, the Natural History Mu-
scum and breeders organization.
The silver foxes are greatly admired;
there are weaselS, skunk and rats, as
we'll as rabbits, for France Is by far
the largest producer Of rabbit skins in
the world. Last year she supplied the
fut trade with 120,000,000.
The new Institute of History Art and
Archaeology, in the Avenue De Lob
servatoire, is reminiscent of the Doge's
Palace, Venice, and Bordeaux may soon
be adding charming Venetian aspect
to the city. That is, If the citizens can
succeed in making the feeding of the
pigeons municipal charge.
The late mayor of the city used to
feed the birds every morning himself,
and since his death the humble woman
news vender, who has been carrying on
his good work, has been finding the
increasing numbers Of the pigeons tax
on her resources. Now the experts are
busy delving among the civic archives
to determine whether pigeon is entitled
to public relief
The BordelaiS should remind these
gentlemen that the public feeding of the
pigeons in st. Marks Square at Venice
is sight visitors love. The preliminary
gentle flutter of many wings at the
sound of the blessing bell" and the
great feather rush as or o'clock
strikes from the clock-tower are wonders
never forgotten
