New Hats
Need New
Couture
Hair Must Be Arranged
With Real Charm And
Distinction--lt Shows
Where Hat Tips UP
On Left Side.

FASHIONS may appear to
IL be unreasonable. But
they are unreasonable only
because we have no ways Of
measuring the complex of
taste that goes 10 make up
fashion.
Why, for instance. have
women apparently made up
their minds TO 60 about with
the right side OF their fore
heads hidden and the left ex-
posed?
II fashions like this had &C.
Cured in a really romantic age in
stead Of Just one that has decided
to be romantic as a pose. We
might trace this fashion 10 the
within OF some court favorite or
queen. We might conclude that
this fashion had been launched
out Of respect for some influential
dame or damsel whose beauty was
marred by a scar or blemish over
the right eye. But OF course in
this day no woman is fair enough
or important enough 70 make
such an impression on fashion.
The most that We can say Is
that these new fashions have
come because the tilted appears
and reappears whenever fashions
are most piquant and picturesque.
And another thing during the
period OF the cloche we wore our
hats down TO our eyebrows. Then
came an abrupt transition and we
wore them as far back as We had
worn them far down. That was
interesting SO long as il was new.
These new hats do both things.
They touch the eyebrow on one
side and show the hair on the
other. SO that here we have a
sort Of compromise hat that has
come a little late.
II the tilted hat had come. let
Us say. between the two extreme
hats. AZ the Uneven hem line came
between the very short and very
long skirts. it's role as "A com
promise would have been quite
u obvious.
Those who arc watching fash
ions most carefully. predict that
the new hat will have a definite
reaction on fashions In dresses.
and women's fashions generally.
u ID Of course hard 10 make def
mite predictions. because no rule
OF symmetry or balance that has
applied in one period is bound to
apply In another. One cannot say.
for instance. that skirts will have
10 become longer and fuller be-
cause IN 1850 and 1860 and 1871
women wore skirts that were
longer and fuller. However. there
Is pretty good reason 10 think
that with these more formal and
more studied hats. II will be es-
sential for the dressmakers 10
design frocks that give a trim
] line to the shoulders and waist.

And that any type ~ thing that
is in any way mannish d quite
out OF the picture.
Quite obviously every woman
will have 10 face the problem NJ
hair arrangement. because there
is no conceivable way of hiding
the hair at the left side when
these new hats are worn OBJ
viously the short bob will be out
If the question But whether or
not these new hats viii bring IN
an era Of chignons and deliberately
ourled hair Is something that no
one can predict with conviction
al present.

AIEVER-and we mean
~ that literally, with a
capital N-have hat fashions
been so important, 50 inter
esting and 50 significant as
they are ar the present time.
Everybody who takes any in
terest in fashions at all knows
what a new style Of headgear
has been launched. And long
before most people think very
seriously of their autumn
dresses or suits they are has
tening TO the milliner.
Not so much because they
feel the urge TO wear a new
hat in midsummer but be-
cause they are curious 10 see
how the new shapes will be
come them.
Originated by leading French
MISUNDERSTANDING Patou. Suzy.
Blanche ct Simone. Lewis. Agnes.
Mado. etc.-these perky little hats
were worn by the more daring in
Paris as early as last April.
American women who are alert
for new styles took up the fash
ion here not long afterward. But
for most women the thrill Of wear
ing a shape that is radically diff
ferent from anything worn for
many decades viii come with the
first autumn hat OF 1881.
Practically all the new hats
have this much in common: that
they are shallow both OF brim and
OF crown and that they fit well
down on the right side. exposing
the brow at the left and usually
a good deal of the hair. But they
are certainly not monotonous. Nor
are they inspired by one or even
three or four historic periods.
There are the 1860 boat-shaped
hats, the feathered hats Of the
1SS0's, fiat little hats Of the En-
press Eugene period. the 1890
riding hat, not 10 mention the pic
turesque plumed hats that are
traced 10 the late seventeenth
century. when D'Artagnan. famed
hero OF the Three Musketeers.
first looked on and fell in love
with the faces under the charm
ing plumed hats Of the court
ladies Of Paris. To finish the com
posite picture there are draped
hats that are distinctly renais-
sance in suggestion. colors and
drapery for which the French
Colonial Exposition is obviously
responsible. and a hat from
Blanche 81 Simone called "peau
rouge or red skin. with an ar
rangement Of feathers at the back
amusingly suggestive of the gala
headgear Of the American abor-
tg1neS.
The interesting thing about the
whole situation Is that at long
last the milliners seem 10 be TAX
ing the lead in fashion. For some
time during the postwar period
the milliners seemed 10 be incap-
able OF breaking down the preiu-
dice that women felt for some
reason or other against the intro
duction az any new sort Of head
gear. They finally succeeded in
putting an end 10 the long period
Of the cloche when they put over
the of-the-forehead skullcap type
OF fashions.

SECOND VISIT
OF OFFICERS
GETS LIQUOR

Bob Carson, 80, is in the county
jail today serving a 100 day jail
sentence for possession of liquor be-
cause he could not pay a 5000 fine
and because Don Campbell an d
Lloyd Castanian, deputy sheriffs,
were not satisfied with one unsue-
cessful visit to Carson's place III
Holtville.
Carson was sentenced by Judge
S. M. Smyser of Holtville on
charge of possession of liquor.
1t was rather early Tuesday night
when the officers made their first
visit to Carson's house in Holtville.
As they entered, some one in the
house, thinking quickly, poured out
a pitcher full of illegal spirits, leav-
ing nothing as evidence. It seemed
to be the policy of the house to
keep only one full pitcher on hand.
The officers left in great chagrin.
Mulling the matter over il their
minds, they decided to return, and
did so about two hours later. While
Castanian rushed for the pitcher
Campbell halted a gambling game
by throwing his glove onto the
table.
CaStanian called to Campbell,
who went over to him to inspect the
liquor. Carson was placed under
arrest and started on his way to
the county jail, but when Campbell
returned to recover his glove he
found the gamblers had taken
glove, money and all, and disap-
peared.

who prepare mail:
Hereafter in preparing mail for
the signature of the secretary (Mr.
Lamon) please refrain from using
the phrases you are informed
and you are advised Words of this
purport are obviously surplusage."
Mr.. Kerlin saved everyone tn e
trouble of going TO the dictionary
to check him up on the word sur
plusage' too. He appended foot
note reading:
webster: Any part of any doc

Kerlin probably is the first man
in the government to have used
'surplusage," and he may have done

his budget message he said, speak

There's a lot of Wailing in some

as much as $4,000 worth in one de-
partment, and to have been given
the cash. The alcohol has not been
delivered and the salesman seems
to have been called away on bus
mess or something.
