Cleaner, Pianist

The summers, even in Los
Angeles, were sometimes quite
depressing to me, as there wasn't
much work available in my pro-
fession. Therefore, one spring,
I took to the road. I had found
a job with a certain professor"
Albert Jerome. Albert Jerome
undertook to teach ballroom
manners to the miners of Cali
fornia with my aid as the Or
CheStra. We left town in dilapi-
dated horse and buggy. At our
first stop, I discovered that the
professor meant to see that my
days, as well as my evenings,
were not spent in idleness. We
opened a cleaning" establish
ment in an empty store and
took in the towns Soiled cloth

the intricacies of the latest two

that a little jazz band at a

working there for some weeks,
I began to study this new thing

"Dear Mark :" re a tes
Jimmy Rome. "In one of
the new-style cafes in the
West Fifties, there is a
colored orchestra that is at
tracing a great deal of at
tention. It's a six-piece out
fit, and the boys are work
ing themselves daffy in their
climb up the ladder of sue
cess. They re not making
much now, but the future
looks rosy.
Hot Party
"A few weeks ago, one of the
boys staged a party in his home
in Harlem. The weather was
threatening, so one of the
guests-also in the combination
brought along a tan overcoat
that was his particular pride
and joy.
"The party began late in the
morning and didn't end until
noon. The guests departed in
various stages of plasteration,
which is q word that should
certainly be included in all die
tionaries. And when the mu-
Sician with the tan coat awak-
ened in his own home, he found
that he no longer possessed the
coat of which he was so proud.
"He didn't bother about it,
however, at the moment. He
knew that he must have left it
in his friends house, since he
had gone nowhere else. And
when the boys gathered for
their work in the cafe that
night, he spoke about it to the
lad who had tossed the party.
"'Sam, he said affably, when
yo' come down to work tomor-
row, bring along dat coat All
left at yo' house today. All
sure wouldn't want to lose it,
Sam gave him puzzled
look.
"'Coat?' he repeated. What
coat yo' talkin' bout? All didn't
see no coat in nah house this
mornin'.'
THE other man grew excited.
Don't yo' go lynn to me-
he growled. 'Yo' know ver' we'll

on apoplexy.

And it was just about that
many years ago that this very

was invited to fill the first cello

waste much time in packing his

I took it into my young head

It's been many years since
we've had a season Of really
large hats. Young girls scarcely
know what they're like. But
women who remember them
know that there's more charm
in a brim than in almost any
other decoration for the head.
CartwheeIs Return
This year will see real cart
wheels back again. And smaller
brims for sports and street,
though present tendencies show
big hats on the street too.
There are many clever shapes,
and small ways of making hats
look different, even If they are
large and typically "cartwheel."
First among the novelties is
the hat that flares back off
the face, as though the brim
were blown back. It's rather
extreme. and should be worn by
only the few to which it is be-
coming.
Then there's the desperate,
more popular because it's easier
to wear. 1t turns up abruptly,
but often has a break in the
brlm. made either by cutting or
folding the brim. and it usually
turns up a little to one side.
Crowns Are ShaIIow
Crowns may vary too. Patou
started the square crown idea, 1
believe, and it is slowly taking
its place on this side of the At
lantic. Then there are the box
edged crowns, and the various
shallow crowns that give your
hat the slant and tilt it should
have.
Bandeaus come in for quite
a share OF glory, and are use
tul in fitting the brim, and
making hats more becoming to
many eople. Trimming is
fairly simple, running to tiny
punches OF flowers or fruit, the
latter quite new looking, or a
mere bow or trimming of rib
Don.
StraWs are too varied to
classify, though the S IN o o t h
weaves such as baku, crystal
and ballibuntl seem best for
fairly formal hats right now.
And there are some smart
rough Weaves for sports and
street. Colors are black and
navy, good for afternoon with
clothes In navy and various
other colors, then red, pastels
and white for later wear, &C
cording to your wardrobe.
