Avenues of Fashion For the Gentleman HAT with the approach of the time when one must discard the old Chapeau de Paille, as the French so deftly term hats of straw, the at- tendant activity of selecting a hat of felt is upon us. The problem that is present for those of unusual height or girth is one that would well take several volumes to propound. However, here we will concern our- selves only with the current fashion in top pieces and discuss a com- plete wardrobe of hats for day wear. One need not own all these hats, but the advantages of having several to be used with appropriate types of clothes is apparent. X kK X ‘HE derby, or as it is called in Eng- land in honor of its originator, the bowler, is ever useful for wear m town, although originally made to serve as a headguard for huntsmen. Fashion favors this hat with a full slightly belled crown and fairly flat brim. * ok ok x ROWING in popularity is the Homburg of black or midnight olue, an alternate for the derby and carrect for wear with tuxedo or din- ner clothes. % % k% THE dark brown snap brim, with its | black band, may have either bound or raw edge and is a favorite with university men for on and off campus wear. How Itistarted BY JEAN NEWTON. Time Out of Mind. *“()H, THAT has been done time out of mind” we will say of some- thing that has been done long ago end perhaps on numerous occasions. The expression seems to be felicitous and has been in common use for many hundreds of years. The earliest well-known recorded use of the expression is in Shakes- peare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” act I, scene IV, Mercutio is telling Romeo of a dream. His description is a pretty fantasy in which, referring to the conveyance of Queen Mab, occur the lines: “Her chariot is an empty hazelnut, Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub, Time out of mind the fairies’ coach- makers.” (Copyright, 1935.)

THIB ancient Norman surname has undergone several changes in or- thography. It was Latinized “De Tur- bida Villa” and later Anglicized “Trou- blefleld,” finally assuming the form Turberville, which the family has ad- hered to for several centuries. The Turberville family has been an eminent one in England since the days of Willlam Rufus, when the most ancient seat of the family was in Brecknockshire. The armorial bearings here given were found on the tomb of Frances Turberville, on Booth’s plantation, Westmoreland County, Va. She was the eldest child of Henry Ashton and was born in 1699. She died in 1720. She married a descendant of John Turberville, the founder of the family in America. John came to Lancaster County, Va., before 1633. The arms shown correspond with those of the distinguished house of Turberville in England. (Copyright. 1935.) Witty and Wise When pride turns a man's head he is sure to look the wrong way. A thorn in’ the flesh is more trou- | blesome than two on the bush. Burglary as a profession is likely to prove rather confining. A girl only partly returns a man's affections when she returns his let- ters and retains his presents. A cow may have many good qual- ities, but she is too modest to blow her own horn.

OME of the outdoor folks have S names that stretch your imagi- nation a bit, but here is one that seems appropriate. All you have to do to make the resemblance perfect is mentally to replace the reptile’s head with a handle, and the braided coach whip of flogging days is revealed. The coachwhips belong in the same class as the racers, a group famous for their speed and agility. Though formidable in appearance, they are not constrictors. The typical coachwhip is a ranger of the Southern States and Northern Mexico, seemingly preferring Texas. ‘The giants among them reach a length of 8 feet. If you ever catch a fleeting glimpse of one, it will likely be 7 feet and a few inches. These speedsters vary slightly in color, the Western one having a red- this racer has been observant and is fully acquainted with all the burrows and holes in his vicinity. When he moves, he realizes that the most di- rect line to the refuge in mind is usually the shortest one, and he has little difficulty in reaching it. He disappears with such lightning swift- ness you think you may only have imagined you saw a snake. If he is cornered, the tail is vibrated alarmingly. It merely indicates his state of mind, for he is harmless, though it may be hard to convince one's self of this fact, when witness- ing the open mouth and striking dis- play, as the reptile partially raises itself from the ground. Such a nervous temperament up a vast amount of energy which must be replenished often. Cannibal- ism is indulged in, though birds, eggs and small rodents are very acceptable. Frogs are taboo. Coachwhips never become recon- ciled to imprisonment. The resent the insult so deply and grow so nervous that they soon languish and die; whereas their blacksnake cousins become rather interested in the whole affair, are prompt at their meals and develop an amiable attitude toward the situation.

The throat and neck are white, | and the plates under the remaining part of the body are a lovely pure yellow or white. The younger generation is smartly | mottled, very much like the cousins, the blacksnakes, and often confused | with them. A cast-off skin will give ! you a good idea concerning the deco- rative effect of spots and dots. Being first cousins to the black- snakes, naturally they have many family traits in common. The black- | snake, as you well know, is a fast traveler, but the coachwhip, also built along streamlines, leaves his cousin | far behind. | As if this mode of escape were not enough, he is also an expert climber. It may be said, however, that their | places of residence are usualy in level country, over sandy ground, where the need of climbing seldom presents itself.

Ro“l too sure: it doesn't D often you "H lofic “fi‘,}' o HERE is nothing so sure as the uncertainty of being toc sure. Often you find that something you have been sure of turns out quite the opposite from what you expected. Mrs. Wood Duck had been inclined to boast a little of the se- curity of her nest. You see, she had built that nest fn a hollow limb of a big tree in the Green Forest. It was a limb that had been broken off years before and was now holiow, with the entrance at the end. It was big enough for her to get into, although she had little room to spare. | Mrs. Wood Duck had flown cver the pond of Paddy the Beaver, and there had found Mrs, Quack the Mal- lard Duck in a state of great distress because three of her eggs had been stolen by Blacky the Crow and she had been forced to leave the other eggs for him. Mrs. Wood Duck had been very sympathetic. She had urged Mrs. Quack not to be discouraged, but to build another nest and try again. “How many eggs have you?” asked Mr. Quack. “Twelve,” replied Mrs. Wood Duck. Mrs. Quack sighed. “What a fam- ily you will have,” said she. “It will be wonderful.” “And what responsibilities I will have,” retorted Mrs. Wood Duck. “Big families are all very nice until you have the whole care of one. Well, I must be getting home now. You do as I tell you, my dear, and look around for a new nesting place. You won't be happy without a family and you know it. I'll see you again tomorrow, perhaps. Good-by.” “Good-by,” said Mr. and Mrs. Quack together, as Mrs. Wood Duck took to her wings and disappeared over the treetops. Swiftly Mrs. Wood Duck sped to- | ward the big tree with the hollow limb. It was quite & distance from the water. It was so far from the water that very few people would be | likely to look there for a Duck’s nest. | Mrs. Wood Duck really felt easy in| her mind. So as she sped swiftly toward home it was considerable of & shock to discover Blacky the Crow sitting on the end of that hollow limb and trying to peer inside. Mrs. Wood Duck increased her speed. Her wings moved so fast that they fairly | whistled. Blacky the Crow looked up just in time. With a startled squawk | he took to his own wings and dodged Had Mrs. Wood Duck struck him at the speed at which she was going it might well have been the end of Blacky. Of course, she was going so fast that she went past. She checked her- | self and, without any attempt to| chase Blacky, feturned to that hollow | limb and disappeared in it. You see, she was so terribly anxious to find out if her preclous eggs had been dis- turbed that she gave no thought to anything else. She felt that she had reached home just in time. Blacky chuckled. Yes, sir, he| chuckled. “So,” sald he, “Mrs. Wood Duck has a nest in there. I had a| suspicion that some one was living in there, but I couldn't see if there was & nest at the end of that hollow | limb. I wish that limb was not quite | 80 long. I never do like to get into places like that. “If I could reach an egg from the end of it, that would be all right, but to have to crawl way in there is an- other matter. I should feel trapped, and to feel trapped is one of the worst feelings that I know of. “I guess Mrs. Wood Duck’s eggs are safe, but I'll keep watch for the babies. A baby Duck is very good eating. I still have the rest of Mrs. Quack’s eggs to eat and now I can keep an eye on this place and perhaps have a Duckling or two.” Meanwhile, Mrs. Wood Duck had made sure that all were there. Then she went to the entrance and poked her heat out to see if Blacky was still bout. He was perched in the top of a tree only a little distance away. “Caw, caw, caw!” shouted Blacky in derision. Mrs. Wood Duck could only hiss angrily, (Copyright. 1935.) FORMULA AIDS INFANTS Promotes Digestion by Adding & | Lactic Acid to Milk.
