roses which ho had received nt hla

stood tho class picture.
Jesse didn't say anything about his
winning an honor prize at his gradua-

his law by night study after working'

"I havo quit tho pawnbroker busi-

(1) CHIP HAT (2.)BLfCK
It Is vory much to be hoped that wo
shall not go too far down tho road of
exaggeration In tho affair of huts this
season or rnther In our manner of
wenrlng them!
Tho slight upward tilt which leaver
tho hair abovo tho forehead uncov-
ered Is exceedingly attractive ond It
makes a woman look wonderfully
joung and unsophisticated: but then
thoro la n limit and somo seem In-
clined to go boyond It. I havo fre-
quently had occasion to remark on
tho charm of tho picture fashions bo
much In vogue thla summer nnd
nover that I can romembor woro our
hats moro dollclously becoming; but
when tho upward tilt Is carried to ex-
tremo exaggeration It borders on tho
rldleuIouB for tho hair at tho back of
tho head Ib practically covored and
tho Impression conveyed Is thnt somo
rude person has caught tho hat and
deliberately pulled It back from tho

bor of palo grey and whito wings tho

Tuscan hats continue to rolgn su-
preme but crinoline straw la also
in great favor and thoro ia a now
ninko of chip which looks rjvoly
when combined with straw-colored
point d'osprlt. This chip Ib coarser
than tho chip of last year and for
thnt reason It Is rather moro effective.
