against it, shoot up like lava

Out beyond this home Of big

Few people have drifted over
this ocean forest at night, but
those who have can tell a weird
tale Of the wonders Of the sea.
When swift current is running

lKLEADED For Spring

Wearables for war needs
The 1913 accent on hats is def
initely away from girlish beanies
and berets which have been so
popular during the past two sea-
sons. The use Of wells also lends
a bit Of maturity 10 the styles.
and gives the new hats a slight
flavor of what was popular when
grandma was a girl.
Most Of the hats shown are
made Of felt and range in style
from the smartly tailored to the
turban. Some of the hats, de-
signed for early Spring wear, like
one shown here, go in heavily
for floral decorations. Such trim
gives these tiny chapeaus a gran
diose appearance.
