It was easy enough to Manded. “Say to Mr. Hale that I cannot receive him. Tell him that he will be handed a—a package from me this afternoon.” Lena knew well what that package would contain. For on the desk were letters—many letters. On the shelf over the desk a photograph frame still stood, but the handsome face that used to smile forth from it so sun- nily was there no longer. A tiny leather box topped the letters. Lena could not be positive what the box contained, but she did notice that no ring with one white, flaming stone sparkled ‘hs formerly on the hand of her young mistress. “He does look that sad, Miss!” Lena remarked, lingering. “I—I think ter the falsehood sanctioned by con- to any other caller.

The latter, indeed, which is not much crushed and never creased, is, with its wide rolling brim and pointed peak, one of the most popular, because the most becoming of all the new hats of'the summer season. The negligee, except that the brim Is more bowl- shaped and rolling, is almost an exact copy in straw of the tan colored felt campaign hats worn by Uncle Sam's boys during the late war. This hat is much affected by the younger set, pos- sibly because it' gives its wearer a rakish look, a devil-may-care and swagger air. Possibly the fact that it is designed peculiarly for long wear and hard usage may have something to do with its popularity. The split straw with the narrow brim and high crown, which has been spoken of before, and the Sennit yacht with the fancy braid as well as the Sennit yacht with the wide brim, sound very much alike, while as a matter of fact they are as different as a woman’s hats for morning and even- ing wear. The first is of very fine, closely woven straw, while the next is a little finer, both in weave and in N 7z . 4 the roughness of the material, while the last named is a hat of very striking appearance, both as to the shape of the hat itself and the cut and weave of the straw, which ils very rough and open. As model hats for dress-up occa- sions any of these thr would not only be ate, but exceptionally becoming leah-cut features. In- deed, the we of one of these hats becomes at once the ideal summer man. the above m creati which, while they hav the Senn hats, combine the fineness of and the pliancy of the Pana fore mentioned the Mexican palm telescope is one of the most fashionable hats of the year, while for the man of any age, though an of mid- age, there are optimo and the pe optimo, which latter is the same In shape and design as the for- mer, only that it is a little coarser weave. Any of these three hats will, however, stand any amount of rough handling and still retain their shape. The Milan straw optimo and the Milan straw are both of similar shape, both designed particularly for middle- aged men, but the straw itself as well as the weave is of a vastly different quality from any of those mentioned above. However, in the matter of hats of a finer quality, there are some others of imported Ita braid and fancy straw that t novelties, and v\hnh ;\n ecomne almost as the Panama or the as soon as they become better know of these is the Italian braid fedora, which, though it is a very expressive title resque hat, almost as yugh a little less pliable Panama itself.
