Paris (UP).-Hats are getting
bigger and bigger, and for q good
reason, too-the Duchess Of Kent
wore O large picture hat on jubilee
day and wore ge-brimmed,
small crowned hats during her trip
In Scotland.
A famous dress designer once
remarked that she has a rare gift
of chic combined with q sense of
dignitied simplicity, and certainly
her influence on Paris as well as
English styles this season has been
extraordinary. on Jubilee day her
straw hat had an almost micro
scopic crown, which was wreathed
in fiat sprays of uncurled ostrich
feathers. The wide brim dipped
ever SO slightly over the left eye.
The result? Paris and London
milliners have gobbled up feath-
ers to apply them in various
WHY'S on brims which have def
initely lost big dips and have talk
en- on the fiatter line.
Black is frequently the favorite
color for the large, fioppy, straw
hat that is being worn so much
with printed silk and printed cot
ton frocks. If feathers are absent,
flowers are sure to be present on
the brim-either punched in a
nosegsy directly in front or scatter
ed at random about the crown and
br,m. The latter was seen in the
tailored Breton sailor with unturn-
ed brim that the Duchess wore to
tie Derby There was q scattering
of white daisies on the crown and
on the brim. Frequently the floral
motives carry out the colors in the
varigated print dresses.

 He broke off suddenly and dropped to his knees beside the bed, taking her in his arms.

 But Fragonet's lips cut off her words and he held her helpless in his arms. Weak with fury, Jo, held her clenched fists against his shoul- ders, and as he released her she struck him across the mouth with all the strength at her command She was about to speak when an other voice bit like acid into the silence of the room. It was Edna Fragonets and just beyond her Jo saw Mrs. Marsh!
 "A very pretty performance Miss Darien," Edna Fragonet was saying. but it would have been more convincing if you hadn't seen me first"
 Poor Jo could only sag there helplessly against, the pillows, her mouth foolishly open. Between her ment at the sudden appearance of mnet at the sudden appearance of his wife she could find no words at all But instantly Fragonet faced the two women in the door, way.

 I've no intention of making a scene," his wife answered coldly Mrs. Marsh and I had intended to pay a sick-room visit, and we were quite unaware that we'd be interrupting."
 Mrs. Marsh had glanced at Jo only once, and now her manner seemed to say that as far as she was concerned Joanne Darien did not exist. Turning her back upon Jo, she addressed Edna Fragonet in a voice as cool as if 1t were commenting on the weather.
 Please don't let this disturb you, Mrs. Fragonet. I'm sure that, like most men, Pete is unduly chival- rous. haven't been entirely asleep the past few weeks and I know where to lay the blame. I'll have Douglas take care of the matter in the morning.

1. We may say in broad sense such general qualities as a kindly or unkindly disposition. a genial or gloomy temperament, a ten- dency to be industrious, or self confident, or extroverted or inc troverted, or ability to get along with other people and the like have a background in one's nat ural or inherited makeup. All students believe, however, that these and all other personality traits can be greatly changed by environment much more than you can change your ability iil arithmetic or other 'inteilectuaf' abilities.

 Paris (UP). .AThe midsummer makeup presents no problems to- day. There is no excuse for the suntan makeup of four or five years ago, the dark powder which gave you a healthy glow for half an hour and then turned a fright ening yellow-orange as you grew warm.
 There are innumerable excel- lent products on the market to- day. Suntan lotions and creams which make excellent bases for powders which come in wide range of tones. Paris special fists say that a suntan makeup, to be effective, must correspond to the color of the costume.
 Cool greens and blues require lighter makeup than brighter shades. Special powder, rouge and lipstick, almost a pastel in tone, are used for the cool col- ors, while a makeup of a much warmer tone is used with bright reds, yellows, oranges and vivid blues and greens. White de- mands it's own type of makeup, either delicate or dashing. de- pending on the personality of the wearer.
