Nancy went hat hunting. She was feeling rather “low in her mind” and ‘wondered whether a new hat might not cheer her spirits. And when she saw the hats she was sure. At first sight she decided that hats were almost as feminine as the dresses. ‘They had drooping brims, intricately cut and folded back on themselves. was little front brim to protect or shade the face, but shoulders | brims almost touched. were all quite large, which in was s departure from the past seasons. She saw the old familiar baku and ballibuntl and panamalac, a rather Tnew material. It was evident that furs would be rims fitted $an panamalac with black cire ribbon. A straw hat had its brim slashed and Yolded back, starting at left side front. ‘The edges of the hat were bound with in, which was used also in la om| e ain And tsed satin ribbon Tor BoW: For wear with an afternoon frock was lacy straw or black and white. It was made turban fashion, fitting the fore- head closely in front and then turning itself back and up at sides and across the back. All the hats left the face well ex- posed, so Nancy decided she might ‘well begin to smile and look cheerful, since she could count on no shielding kindness from the hat itself. (Copyright, 1930.)

Before choosing | this sort of thing, however, | mind two things—first, that there is | every reason to believe that before the Spring has passed the sleeveless dress for daytime wear will look quite passe and, second, that by the time Spring has you will feel inclined to wear the dress without the jacket. If you | do not want a dress with lull-lennh} sleeves you may choose one with the new short sleeves, which may come to | within an inch or so of the elbows, or may form merely short caps over the | shoulders. Jabots are among the late nineteenth | century fashions that have been revived | this Spring, and one of the easlest | ways to give a new touch to last sea- | son’s blouse or dress is by means of | some sort of jabot trimming. This | week's Help for the Home Dressmaker | shows how to make a very effective | jabot trimming from three small | | squares of fine material.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. March 11, 1811.—Washington Irving of New York, the rising young American author, well known for his “Knicker- bocker's History of New York,” pub- lished two years ago, has been visiting in this city recently and has remained over since adjournment of Congress earlier this month. Mr. has been setting down his impressions of the Federal City and has frequently written to friends about what he has found here. In a letter today he says: “You cannot imagine how forlorn this desert city appears to me, now that the great tide of casual population has rolled away.” It is believed, however, that the con- dition of which Mr. Irving compiains will soon disappear. Most members of Congress now come to Washington without their families and live in board- ing houses. As soon as Congress finishes its work each year they hurry back to their homes. But there are indica- tions that members of Congress will soon cease to live in their boarding house cells, Next Fall, it is expected, many Senators and Representatives will bring their families here and there will be social life in abundance. ‘Those who have faith in the future development of the Federal City pic- ture the time as not far distant when the social attractions of Washington City will insure a goodly number of interesting people here all the vear round, regardless of whether Congress is in session or not: “I may compare this place,” wrote Washington Irving recently, “with a huge library, where a man may turn to any department of knowledge he pleases and find an author at hand into which he may dip until his curiosity i« satisfied.” Mr. Irving says he has foynd here “the most complete medley of characters I have ever mingled amongst.” His social engagements in one week com- prised a dinner with the officers’ mess at the barracks and in the evening a ball at Mr. Van Ness’; dinner with Gen. Turreau and, in the evening, Pres- ident Madison’s levee, “which was bril- liant and crowded with interesting men and fine women”; a dinner at Mr. Latrobe's, a dinner with the Secretary of the Navy, Paul Hamilton, who oc- cupies Mr. Tayloe's house, and in the evening a ball at Mayor Brent's res- idence. .

People who are in love are often ac- cused of carrying on conversations with- out as much sense as canary birds. Birds and lovers chirp away with their sweet nothings and when they separate they proceed to fill with similar things. The amount of sense to those letters, it seems, is equal to thc amount of mucilage on the poor postage stamp. There’s just enough to stick, but no more. But there’s something to be said in| favor of these love-words which hnvei the . weight of toy balloons. They ex- press what the lovers have on their hearts and provide vents for the little | fires which are burning on the hearth of Venus. The lovers are communicat- ing feelings rather than ideas and know | “hat they are not debating in Congress. ‘We may not know much about logic or science, but we realize that there are lots of things in our minds that cannot be stated like scientific truths. There are sentiments which must be voiced with color and emotions, which must be expressed with warmth. This requires a special language; its dictionary is made up of the airy nothing which stolid folks are likely to condemn. ‘When an old bimbo utters these sweet nothings to a young girl, his words are like spare tires blown up but not put to any immediate use. They are big bulky affairs and hold a lot of air. When they are written down in a bold mascu- line hand and aired in a court room the balloon tire looks like an awful flat. But when young folks induige in the language of flowers and give their fervid sentiments the air, there's no harm done. All that's lacking is the proper vocabulary. What is- needed the poetic gift to make these flavored words solid enough to give the heart nourish- ment. . Love is the raw material of poetry and art. Of course, it doesn't turn all lovers into artists or all parlors into studios. We have so many now we can hardly support them. But it does bring out the artistic side of a person’s nature | and lends perfume to an otherwise dull personality. The sweet nothings which we gurgle when we are in love are like bubbles on the surface of a stream. They come to the surface, swell out and sparkle for a | moment and then are gone. Then come | more bubbles and gurgles. If there were no more to love than these meaningful murmurs, the human heart would pass out. But, just the same, these birdcalls have their place and are all right if wc have sense | enough to sign off at the right time. (Copyright, 1930.) Oysters in Crust.

The illness in man is called undulant fever because of its characteristic course, especially periods of days with little or no fever, then another run of fever, and this goes on three months in most cases, or for a year or more in others. Chills and sweats are common in the earlier stages of the fever, and this probably suggests “influenza,” or alaria” or “tuberculosis.” In seven cases the principal complaint in the beginning was joint pains, which led to the suspicion of acute infectious arthritis (rheumatic fever, inflamma- tory rheumatism).
