MANY OFFERS
MADE FOR
HORSE.
BY TOM THORP

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Jan. IL.
The fallacy of paying record
prices for thoroughbred stock has
never been brought home in
more convincing manner than in
the case of the two-year-old star
Craigco, a son of Craigangower-
Falco, which races for Mrs. w. E.
Martin, the popular Gotham
horse woman.
Craigco won his only start like
he might go on to great deeds
among Winter juveniles. Craigco
won the race in the sparkling
fine time Of "a is for the two
eighths Of a mile. He cost but
two hundred dollars as a yearling
at Saratoga last summer. His
owner has been offered many
times this sum for him during
the past few days.

Many other cases where high

listed. Past experience have
been that few owners care to
pay large prices for untried
youngsters.
Craigco is a big, strong bay colt,
of striking appearance. His Shoul-

general manager of the National Asso-

day that modern installment financing,
which started with slim capital in 1915
and was confined almost entirely to the
financing of automobile Sales, has grown

Efforts were now being made by the
association, Hanch said, to determine

plan, and financed like automobiles
Fixing of these terms should mean in
;creased production and eventually lower
prices to the consumer.

Rules of Becomingness in Hats
By MARY MARSHALL.

Certain rules Of becomingness might
be formulated. One might say, for in
stance, that the woman with o narrow
forehead and q prominent nose ought
never to wear q brimless hat, and that
the woman with long neck ought
never to wear a hat that Is narrow
at the back. But the best way TO know
what sort of hats are most becoming
to you personally Is to try variety OF
different hats on, studying them from
all angles, and then, noting which hats
are becoming and which unbecoming,
to make ones own set Of rules.
It Is often possible to give just the
necessary breadth or width or depth to
the outline Of the hat by means Of Q
simple trimming device-a bow Of rib
bon or q feather. fancy. The small or
the-brow hat Of the present season may
be helped enormously by means OF q
bow or knot of ribbon or fabric at one
side Of the back. Sometimes bows OF
ribbon at the sides of the hat in front
do the trick. So even II you have
chosen a hat that proves not quite all
expected Of you, you need not be dis
couraged. With the help Of your mil
liner you may be able to add the essen
tial bit of trimming, here, there or
somewhere else.
The sketch shows one Of the new
French hats with neat small bows cIev-
erly arranged at each side Of the brim
In front-such q simple trick, yet one
that may help to make your own hat
entirely satisfactory.

II crocuseS were rare, We would gladly
pay orchid prices for them-or the
price Of lily bulbs, at least I have
never been able to see why either rarity
or cost made q flower more beautiful.
Why isn't 1t, after all, as beautiful as
1t looks2 wouldn't give 5 cents for
q begonia, II 1t were as rare as moon
rainbows "a matter of taste, I admit,
but would, If florists raised the price
of crocus bulbs, dig down IN my gar
dening jeans and surrender what was
asked.
For the crocus, Is rule, is the
real harbinger of Spring, and not the
native plant that bears that unearned
name and leisurely consents to q pal
lid bloom late in April.
II we had to wait for native flowers
to cheer our color-hungry eyes, we
should now be badly of, indeed. But
the jocund crocus comes to Us from
those laughing Mediterranean lands
where Spring routs Winter in February.
So, indeed, do almost all our garden
Spring bulbs.
There are four great centers Of
Spring Towering Dubious fora, and, in
order Of Importance, they are the
Mediterranean basin, South Africa, the
desert coast Of Chile, and Southwestern
California. But the honorS go to the
shores of Homer's wine dark sea" that
gives US the crocus in all its frail
gaiety.
Our Spring crocus is not the saffron
crocus so rich In legend, for that is q
larger, Autumn Towering species, diff
ferent, once again, from the Autumn
crocuS" which Is no crocus at all. But
Of all crocuseS Cor must we say croci?),
1t remains the favorite. Nothing has
ever been offered to the gardener that
can, in its season, hold a candle to
crocuses.
We never can get too many Of them.
Nobody ever got tired OF crocuses.
Nothing but our pocketbooks prevents
us from giving them more space. IN
fortunately, cost enters in heavily, es-
pecially since the life of a crocus bulb
Is short in our damp climate.
The crocus longs for its dry, hot
springs. Rather I should say that the
crocuseS do 30, for the different sizes
and colors represent different species.
The lilac and white varieties come from
the Riviera; the Cloth Of Gold" variety
Il O native Of the Crtmea; the pur-
plish, feather-veined sort are also Ri
vieran, and there are other species
from Geoco and Italy.
80 famous are the crocus fields of
the Island Of Corfu, of the western
coast Of Greece, that many garden low
ers have made the arduouS trip there
Just to see and worship where, says
Homer, the flaming crocus makes the
mountains glow"
