I from every possible angle before she
accepts a wholly brimless hat no mat-
ter how fetching the hat itself may be.
So there are right now what .one
might call "half-way-between hats"
called by their designers "Transi-
tion" models and a favorite style is
the shape with a narrow cloche brim
on which a roll brim or some trim-
ming that suggests it is placed.
While the dweller in the North is
concerned only as a possibility with
spring and millinery fabrics the wo
man who contemplates even a week-
end in the South is kepnlyinterested.
Milan straw seems to be just now
the favorite and Bangkok is popular.
Even in the North the neat little hat
made entirely of straw and simply
trimmed may be worn with tailored
suit or one piece dress and wrap even
in snow-bound cities and it may
prove an effective and welcome
change. The hats made of a combi
nation of materials seem more practi-
cal in a way and eminently more sen-
sible for this season of the year.
"While there is a tendency to drift
away from the cloche there is no
sign of the lessening of the popularity
of the small hat. Tiny models of felt
and straw felt and taffeta suede and
moire moire and straw most of them
showing a sectional crown and droop-
ing brim shorter at the back are be
ing featured for wearwith fur coats
and fur-trimmed wraps. New hifh
colors foretell spring and. there are
several interesting shades of red.

Russian First. Then the Chinese And
Hindu Shapes.
The influence of Russia has been
apparent for many months and in
many ways. It hsa not been the dom-
inant note by any means but it has
been heard and clearly too. Appar-
ently it has gained strength with the
passing days for in the newest mil-
linery styles it is everywhere appar-
ent and by far the largest number of
really different models that is dif
ferent from the cloche are Russian..
After the Russian motif comes the
Chniese continued from the past sea-
son and the Hindu the latter appar-
ent in the rolls and padded cordings
of the turban style of hat. Whatever
influence may dominate the hat itself
one characteristic is general brims
when brims exist are short in back
ind incline to irregularity of line.
Trimmings are used with a spar-
ing hand. "Whenever the shape per-
mits crowns are sectional either
pieced xr mitred bring are embroid-
ered or appliqued and bands of rib-
bon fancy pins or fabric flowers trim
the crowns.

a decided tendency away from the

whims between the now of mid-winter
and the then of mid-summer and
each whim .will have its followers for
the brief moment of its existence.
Then the mode will slowly and im-

summer holiday.
Laying Cornerstone
of Memorial Hall to Be
Deferred for Present
The laying of the cornerstone of the
Solidiers and Sailors Memorial which
was set for February 22 has been
postponed until some later date to be
agreed upon by those in charge. It
is probable that the date will be either
March 2 which is Texas Independence
day or April 21 which is San Jacinto
Day. One of these dates will be se-
lected and announcement made in
due time. The change in dates was
made necessary because of several
reasons one of which being the dis
trict meeting of the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce which is to be
held at Brady February 22 It Is un
derstood that quite a number of Le-
gionnaires may attend the district
meeting at Brady as it is probable
the Old Gray Mare Band will go there

LUNCHEON HOUR TODAY
SEVERAL BRIEF SPEECHES WELL
MIXED WITH WIT AND REPAR-
TEE; ENJOYABLE OCCASION
The Kiwanis Club met at the South-
ern Hotel dining room today in reg-
ular weekly luncheon with an inter-
esting program Dr. C. Q. Smith of the
First Methodist church being in
charge of the rendition of the pro-
gram. As the members collected
around the table and before taking
their seats President Mark- McGee
read the following paper in memory
of Woodrow Wilson as -the members
stood with bowed heads. Quite a
number of hotel guests were taking
lunch at othefl tables and when the
reading of the memorial began si-
lence reigned not a person moving in
the largo dining room until the read-
ing closed. Following the reading of
the memorial a prayer was offered by
Dr. C. Q. Smith.
'Fellow Kawanias : .
"Today in the City of Washington
within a ftjw paces of each other; lie
the bodies of two great soldiers one
the unknown to whom this Common-
wealth did homage the other tlij
known woodrow Wilson to whom
the world did homage. Each was a
casualty of the great war and one
well nigh a tragedy. IDach laid his
life on thin country's altar each paid
the supreme sacrifice that this? coun
try might be made safe for democ
racy. Each has answered the final
summons (lie body of each has been
consigned to the tomb and the toul
of each has taken its winged flight
home to the bosom of God who gave
it. During the struggle for humanity's
sake neither asked and neither gave
quarter neither turned back' neither
hesitated neither hoisted e white
(lag of defeat neither surrendered
neither asked relief; but carried on
to the end.
"Each has crossed the mystic riv-
er and has commdnced the final
journey home each has received an
honorable discharge; and in the qur
of the day of death the same buglet
sounded Taps' for the frail and
emaciated bodies of eack Tapa
which to the tired and weary -so'dicr.
weakened from incessant lighting
means rest and peace and quiet and
solitude means a suspension and ces-
sation of firing means that the fev-
ered brow shall be cooled the wasted
nn( weakened form shall rest means
that the onslaughts and the assaults
of the enemy have caused--'Taps'
Which means that the labors and the
toils of the day have ended.
"Taps has hcn sounded over the
body of that groat and matchless sol-
dier. Woodrow Wilson liH body rests'
in the embrace of death and the f ol-
emn quiet of the tomb his soul rests
with God Uut his spirit shal 'carry
on' down the acs 10 Eternity's Dawn

and all soldiers on that morning shall)

Commander and with thh body oi
soldiers shall be Woodriw Wilson.

the Kiwanis club of Brownwood.
Dr. W. B. Gray who has recently
returned from El Paso where he held
a great revival spoke briefly and told
of having been a guest of the Kiwanis
club while in the big city on the bor-
der. Dr. Wilks of the First Baptist
church chairman of tho committee
on education spoke briefly in regard
to the value of education as an asset
and declared that ignorance is cer-
tainly an embarrassing liability. He
threw in "some red hot jokes among
which the following were much enjoy-
ed: "A good woman who had a son at
college one day received a letter from
the son stating that he would send
her a present 'and that it would be a
striped Klmona. Not knowing what a
striped kimona might bo the good wo-
man was relating the contents of the
letter to a neighbor: "And pray"
quoth the neighbor "what are you
going to with the striped kimona when
it conies?" J'I do not know' answer-
ed the good woman "unless I -fasten
it up in the. Btable and yet it might
get out of there."
Anotheri joke told by Dr. Walks' in' il-
lustrating the dangerous character of
isrnorance was the newspaper local
vhrh ;a1d: "Mrs. Smith who lias
been ill and Is better has been con-
fined at her home several days to the
delight of her friends." And again:
The teacher in a certain school had
her pupils write a brief articles on
Pivmnntii T7nnlr sifter she had told a
short story about Plymouth Rock
asking that the story be written so as
in mp.P.t the description she had given.
All the pupils proceeded to comply
except one small boy and after twist-
ing around in his seat for somo time
he said: "Teacher is this description
of Plymouth Rock to be. about a roost-
er or a hen."
Various other matters pertaining to
the welfare of the club were given at-
tention including the selecting of del-
egates to attend a Kikanis meeting in
Dallas next Tuesday and Wednesday
the presentation of present and offi-
cial announcements.
