caught our eye The first was a
smart draped turban Of soft hat
ter's plush. The height was
achieved by soft folds in the
crown, which were brought to-
gether on the left side near the
face and were held in place by a
cunning ornament of two little sill
yer birds sitting on a silver bough.
A stiff nose veil gave the final pert
touch.
A MOTHER charming street model,
n which would look wonderfully well
with a tailored black suit, was def
nitely Russian and yet not so extreme
as to be unduly conspicuous. A tight
little felt toque. it featured deep off,
the-face cuff, then another smaller
upper cuff edged with Persian lamb
The plain round crown rose little
above the second cuff. This, too, had
a stiff nose veil. Severe in its lines
yet stylish IN every detail, the hat
could not be worn by many, but for
tunate indeed would be the miss 1t
would suit.
The next street hat which caught
our eye gained its unique SmartneSS by
an off-the-face effect in front over the
left eye, from which the brim sloped
down on both sides to give an almost
three look. The upturning
brim on the left rippled softly and
was enhanced by an attractive rhine
stone buckle. A conservative crown
peak in this velour model fulfilled the
final requirement for smartneSS.
While speaking of charming hats. we
must say a word or two about matrons
models, for some of them are among
the most becoming we saw. One which
was particularly fiattering and gra-
cious in its lines. was black Soleil and
had pinch brim which turned down
in front and sloped up in back, giving
that ever delightful Watteau effect
In the center back soft white feather
nestled against the high turned-ur
brim.
Another, a trifle more sedate thar
the first, was of fine quality brown
velour. Its small brim, as well, turned
down in front and up in back. Its
high crown crushed into soft folds on
lIlS IlSLL o4dC, buI 4to PACNC dC AC-
Sistance" was two cunning mink tails
which held the folds in place.
Leaving the matrons' hats reluctant
ly, we must hurry on to the delectable
afternoon and semi-formal models. the
sight of which always makes us shiver
with delight.
Among the many beautiful vel
vet hats We saw, for velvet has
come back in all its glory this sea-
son, We picked out one which won
its way to our heart. 1t is of the
fez type with no brim at all, its
severity Of line being broken by a
dip over the right eye. The high
modish folds of the crown are
topped by a particularly enchant-
ing large curling, gilded quill. This
hat which shows more of the hair
than most, deserves no less than a
new permanent to do it justice.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.

BY DIR. JESSE w. SPhOWLS.
T AM continually being asked Did
inherit my character from my
parents?" What my inquirers expect,
of course, is "yes" for an answer.
They decided on that long ago. They
are really wanting to know what rea-
sons I may offer for justification
of their yes" I must answer in the
negative. And now for the reasons.
I suppose that no two persons in all
the world agree on a definition OF
character. And since the term char
acter is really undefinable and only
partially analyZable, it amounts to an
unknown quantity or quality. So we
are likely to think of character as that
something" in our makeup which
originated outside ourselves. And we
begin to wonder what our parents had
to do with it.
Another reason Is this: We do not
as a rule think much about our So
called character until We find ourselves
falling short of our ambitions. So We
are likely to attribute these shortcom-
ingS to others. No one gets much salts
faction out of admitting his or her
own weaknesses. And SO we turn to
our ancestors.
Suppose these reasons for the mo"
are still unconvincing. You will get
the same answer from your own OBJ
servations. Everywhere you look you
will find children in the same family
who differ enormously in character,
however you define it, Just look about
you and you will conclude that what
ever character is, it does not seem to
run true in very many families.

he and Mrs. Paddy looked over the
food-pile. LET the Winter be as long
and hard as it may be, we won't have
to worry about food. In fact, think
we have more than we really need,
but better too much than too little.
Now we'll put the house In order and
see that the big dam is as it should
be and we will be ready for Winter"
"The house is in pretty good shape
as 1t is," said Mrs. Paddy.
Paddy nodded. "All it really needs
is a good plastering, and there is no
hurry about that so long as we get
it done before freezing" said he.
"Wen first take care of the dam.

will look as it they were made for her
alone.
Having recovered from the generally
dizzy feeling We experienced from
seeking the huge variety of toques, tur-
bans and Russian hats, beretS, tricornS,
Tyrolean sport models. pill boxes.
fedoraS and stove pipe piles, sombreros
and off-the-face styles, We have been
able to gather few scattered bits Of
useful information about hats In gen.
eral this Fall
First, and most important, the
smarteSt new hats show height.
Whether it is achieved by a peaked
crown, by an outstanding brim or by
a swirling feather topping the crown
is immaterial, but height there must
be- The only exception to this rule
is the perennially good little velvet
turban. which, by the way, is particu-
larly smart this Fall when made of
bands of twisted velvet.
Secondly, beretS are not so good
as formerly, but if your new Fall
pride and joy is beret, madame,
do not despair, for they will be
worn a great deal all Winter in
spite of the fact that they are not
SO new as some of the other types.
Thirdly, as to colors. Black, as
usual, leads the race, with brown
as a not very close second. The
usual Autumn shades of green,
red and rust and that divine royal
blue are being shown, too.
FINALLY, the felt sport. which holds
the spotlight. is the medium
brimmed. gracefully dipped type, with
height gained in the crown by either
feathers stuck in at rakiSh angle or
tuckS of various types.
OF the sport hats we have seen, we
nominate two particular ones for the
headgear hall of fame, as exemplifying
the best Fall features. Both are
Sketched. The first We found in a
charming suburban shop whose mod
crate prices and becoming models cast
such spell upon you that you find
yourself coming out with two or three
hats rather than one Their black
felt sport model with a medium brim,
which droops low over the right eye,
gains the stylish high crown effect by
double peaks pinched up highest in
the very top of the crown. A simple
band of grosgrain ribbon completes
the smart effect.
The other felt model-which. by the
way, Maxine Doyle is wearing-was
shown us in red. but comes in all of
the Fall foot ball shades as well. It's
Pinch brim turns up in back and dips
over the right eye in front. The
crown is folded under on either side
and held in place by four threads that
serve as trimming as well. A band of
ribbon, whose short ends fall together
In front, forms smart finish to the
model.
In turning from sport to street
wear, three particular creations

the fair folds into four small tucks
held into place by a lovely rhinestone
loop ornament. We have mused con-
siderably as to just what gown would
be the perfect partner for this hat.
Our final conclusion is soft and
clinging black velvet one, trimmed
with enough silver lame to go with
the hat, but not SO much as to give a
gaudy effect.
One final semi-formal hat and We
will leave you to muse over these de-
lectable creations. This one, too, Is
sketched. 1t is one of the smartest OF
its type we have seen. 1t is an up
reaching CoSsack model, this time all
aglitter and aglow with exquisite black
sequins which cover it except for the
tiny new crown. The Sequinned brim
stands an inch above the crown in
front and extends down to a point
over the right eye. A black and silver
knotted cord gives 1t perfect finish.
Madame, these are a few of the
many type hats you have the choice
of this Fall. Among them, somewhere
are the right ones for you, may you
find them and weaer them till Old

strengthened. Everything else de-
pends on the dam"
"Of course" replied Mrs. Paddy
"If the dam breaks we are likely to
be left almost helpless. The house
is important but the dam Is more i'm
portant."
All this was for the benefit Of the
young Beaver who was sitting near
enough to hear. He was being taught
the things Beaver should know, but
being taught without being made
aware that his father and mother were
teaching him.
So the dam was very carefully looked
over from end to end and repairs made

was satisfied. The nights were cold.
Jack Frost was likely to arrive any
time now. Paddy decided it was
time to plaster the house.
So they dug up mud and covered
the outside of the house. The young
Beaver didn't see why this was neces-
sary, but he did his share and said
nothing. Then the very night after
they had finished this work to Paddy's
satisfaction Jack Frost arrived and
froze the mud.
I'VE finished that job Just in time, -
said Paddy with great deal of sat-
isfaction.. Now We are ready for Win

BIEBER RACES
CAUFFMAN
SUNDAY
By SID KATZNELL

"A well-known local sportsman
said the other day that cycle rae
ing Is probably the most unique
sport in the District.
And he wasn't talking through
his hat. There are numerous
sports that demand, as does
cycling, a great fighting heart,
stamina, keen judgment, nerve,
and a powerful leg drive. There
are also sports, such as motor
cycle racing and automobile
racing, that lean more to the
mechanical end. Therein lies
cycling's uniqueness, for in this
sport both sides are equally i'm
portant.
Can Forfeit Chance
A rider may be 100 per cent
physically fit, his nerves keyed
up to the proper pitch, and yet
a defect in his wheel will cause
him to forfeit all his chances of
coping a race. So in the bicycle
game the rider must not only
look atter his physical condition,
but mist give his utmost atten-
tion to his machine.
Ed C'Clark Gable") Bieber, the
present champion, is probably the
most string example of the i'll
luck thai can befall a rider. On
at least three occasions Bieber
has entered a race in excellent
condition only to lose out be-
PAUSE of a defect in his tires.
Starts Sunday
On Sunday, starting at 8 a. M,
the local Century Road Club AS
6ociation, in conjunction with
Amateur Bicycle League of Amer
ica, will hold the first half of the
D. c. championships at the polo
field. Ed Bieber and Charles
Cauffman, two of the favorites,
will introduce a new racing tire
locally. These tires are manufac-
tured by Worth K. Mitten, an
old-time rider.
Smiling Joe Collins, enthusi-
aStic secretary of the Washington
Century Road Club, says:
"NO one realizes as does .
eycIiSt the uncertainties Of un-
tried and unprOven equipment.
Bieber and Cauffman may be
throwing their chances away by
using the new type tire and
then again they may be adding
to their chances"
