At the annual meeting last August

There was not much doubt, after
hearing some of the gossip be-

would be. A majority of the women
do their playing at private clubs
where they are members. Naturally
they find it difficult to play run-up

they have been practicing the pitch

STRAW HAT DAY
SET MARCH 20

Saturday, March %. IS TO be eel
ebrated as the Valleys official
straw hat day, Brownsville mer-
chants announced Tuesday.
An early spring, with its warm
weather, has made ii necessary to
discard heavy felt hats in pref
erence to light weight straws.
The 1880 trend in spring and
summer headwear points towards
the ever popular sailor" straw,
which last year created a demand
that was not supplied by merch-
ants. Panama hats Ire returning
strongly. and it is predicted by
style experts that the choice this
year will probably be a toss-up be-
tween the two hats.
In 1929 merchants bought heav-
lily in the buoy-hat known as the
peanut straw, which v-as very pop
ular the year before. Imagine
their surprise when the trade de-
manded sailors"
This year that type Of hat has
been bought in large numbers, and
the demand will be supplied.
Color IS also returning. and the
bands will not be the conservative
black and other dark colors seen
last season.
Numerous straws have already
been worn in the Valley, and Sat
urday is the last day a man may
wear a felt hat and still be III
style.
A movement is on foot TO en-
courage the wearing OF straw hats
all year round. emphasizing the
Valleys mild winter climate.
