THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

as an integral part of the lady, rather
than as just hat.
They view the lady and the hat to-
gether. instead of just the hat, or Just
the woman.
They look upon the two with the
eye of the artist
More husbands are a. lists than their
wives may realize. Their artistic
height. the very zenith of their en-
beavers, as it were, comes IN the selec-
ton of hats.
Many a husband can pick a hat out
Of a show window unerringly.
He does not need to have the lady
along.
THAT would look well on Mary" he
saws to himself.
Stepping into the store. he asks the
price and forks over, much to the as
constituent of salesladies and CUSTOM
ers.
Evidently it must be an unusual
thing for man to purchase his wife's
hat but those wives who have hus-
bands so interested say that most often
the choices are of the very best
Nor is this difficult to understand.
An ordinary. garden variety of h1s-
band thinks his wife Is pretty nice, and
has rejoiced in her appearance in hats.
Hats. with women. are truly intimate
enc with the very face, as 1t were.
He who has studied a face. through
admiration and love, comes to know a
great deal about it.
Inssinctively, if he has an artistic
sense. he will comprehend, almost in
tuitively. the sort of hat which will go"
with a certain face.
He may make mistake now and
then.
Even the ladies do that themselves.
When a woman gets into hat store
and g clerk takes charge of her she is
never exactly sure what she will come
out with on her head.
She hopes it will be becoming.
The saleslady hopes it will, too.
Between madams choice, however,
and the Salesladys there Is no telling
what will happen.
Any woman will admit as much, If
she is as honest as she is beautiful.
* X
Just why a certain hat clocks good"
on one is an elusive question.
Especially so with a woman.
A mere tilt in the brim may make all
the difference between a hat being be-
coming and not becoming.
just why tilt one way, and not the
other, can make such a difference, Is a
question for mathematician, rather
than beauty doctors.
The prevailing list over the right eye,
with the left side up over the ear, may
or may not meet the wishes of mathe-
maticians, but the beauty experts have
decreed it.
Decreed it for time, at least.
just why Eugene chose to pull 1t
down over the right eye, instead of the
left will forever be mystery to the
Emperor.
Eugene would say, why, because it
looks better that way silly"
She may be right, after all.
But the time will come. madam, when
all the ladies' hats will be tilted up
right again and will be worn straight
across the forehead once more.
And Eugene will look just as charm
ing as ever.

ward"
Better, my dear" replied the En-
peror.
Il am not sure but you are right"
agreed Eugene.
This little domestic scene, out of the
lives Of millions, is suggestive, rather
than assertive.
Let ladies everywhere. proud Of their
new bonnets, try them on backward,
and they may discover, as one lady did,
at the acute suggestion of her husband,
that she had a ld-new hat
This particular chapeau. as the
French sometimes say especially in
America. was of the so-called page
boy" lines. which sits high of the
brow. without the dip to the right so
prominent in the true Empress Eugene
model
Such a style-the page boys a
hat for Sweet Sixteen.
If lady happens to be over 16, and
many are, 1t might be better to turn
the thing around, and wear the feather
fancy in the back rather than in the
front
This gives the hat a more mature
look, without making it any the less in
the mode, as the stylists say.

Enterprising women will discover that
they can do almost anything they wish
with the new hats.
Many of them would make excellent
sewing bags.
Before they arrive at that stage. how
ever, they might be tried on foreways,
and backways, and sideways, which
make four ways, of course.
There is no reason for holding a good
hat down by combining it to one posi-
tin, when it might as well be given a
chance to demonstrate its versatility.
Most women, however, lack the dar-
ing to make these experiments.
That's where the Emperor comes inl

But life makes him salesman, or a

the knack before he ever really begins.

The Growing Volume of Travel.

No proof is needed that the people
OF this country are constantly on the
move and in an increasing degree. They
are going about by trains, by planes,
by motor cars Millions Of them are in
transit daily. The volume Of travel
over both long and short distances Is
swelling steadily, to the point where
facilities are taxed. routes are con-
gested and problems arise TO accom-
MEDIATE the tide of travel. The latest
illustration is offered by the opening OF

Good Business Omens.

Having passed through the shadow OF
so many disappointments and mac
curate predictions during the period of
depression, the American people are
prone to take with grain of salt al
most any sign of betterment in the
economic situation. Today comes news
that is the real thing. Russia is
doomed to be out of the world market.
for the indefinite future. as an exporter
Of wheat, and an upward leap In bust
ness conditions is manifest in many
parts Of the globe. The Departments
CT Agriculture and Commerce, re-
spectively. assume responsibility for
these encouraging straws.
The Soviet collective farms, it APP
pears, are finding it impossible to pro-
duce enough grain for foreign consign-
ment during the rest of the 1881 80
crop year. Gable advices to Washing
ton from the Governments observation
posts adjacent to Russia reveal that
wheat deliveries to the Russian govern
ment pool last month totaled only about
half Of the predetermined quota. II
was on the basis Of normal Russian ex-
ports Of wheat that the world market,
until a few days ago, was basing its
price calculations. An immediate CT
feet in this country was substantial
advance In the price of American wheat,
the first boon of its kind that our
farmers have experienced for some
time.
Russian wheat exports in the past
have not been formidable, as compared
to the quantities the United States,
Canada and Argentina are ordinarily
able to pour into Mother Earth's bread
basket. With an acreage OF between
$4,000 900 and 80 ,0o0, 900, Russias wheat
has, nevertheless, always exercised a
controlling influence on prices. 1t is
an altogether gratifying prospect that
the grain now in sight from the Soviet
collective farms will merely suffice for
domestic needs There might even
arise the unusual possibility of Russia
having to import wheat. 1t seems that
this years Soviet planting falls % per
cent short of the governments plan and
is only 80 per cent of last years acreage
Liverpool cables the Department of
Commerce that there is a prompt and
correspondingly renewed interest in
American wheat contracts.
Along with the rise in wheat--and
cotton-prices, with the encouragement
they bring to our agricultural West and
South, glad tidings filter in from bust
ness marts overseas. The parliament
airy elections have distinctly improved
the trade outlook in Great Britain
Canada is reveling in visible COM
mercial revival due TO better prices for
farm products. Italy has acquired a
favorable trade balance-exportin
more than she is buying, Better mer-
chandiSe movements are reported from
Chile, Argentina and Mexico. Egypt is
increasing her exports. The Far East
ern business heavens remain clouded,
because of flood conditions in China
and the still smoldering peril of war
with Japan over Manchuria.
All in all, November, though it marks
the first month of the third year in
which depression is still manifest on
the face of the globe, sets in promis-
ingly. 1t takes more than one swallow
OF higher commodity prices to make a
Summer of returned prosperity, but
these developments are omens which it
would be foolish to underestimate.
