How mai THE SEATTLE STAR THE BY DR. WILIAAM K BARTON HE headgear of civilized man ta one of the most Preposterous ab surdities ever known tn the history of hu- adornment. Because styles change often, and the obsoles- cence of fashion is there most promptly and certainly din- covered, the question “Where did you get that hat?" has long been used to chal lenge Innovations and to deride the appearance of headdraw that has outlived its popularity. There was a time when the song, “Where Did You Get That Hat?” rose almost to the dignity of @ national anthem. Turn back to the books of Apoo rypha, {f you have them in your grandfather's Bible, and see where you get your hat. You will find In the second book of the Maccatees how Jason, the unworthy ,high-priest, attempted to curry favor with Antiochus by erect- ing & gymnasium and attempting te popularize Greek customa. And the worst of it was this, that he made hats fashionable among young men: “He brought up new customs against the law; for he gladly built a place of exercise under the tower itself, and brought the young men under his subjection, and made them wear a hat 3 Maccabees tv:12." No wonder the faithful cried ent against him; for he began then and there to set up the makers of hair restoratives in business, Bad colds and baldness tncreased with the wearing of the hat And so did extravagance and other forms of folly. Look at the bearskin hat of the drum-major whom we all admired in our childhood, Look at the stoveptpe hat which even now sometimes wear on 00 casion. Look at the derby, which has not a single redeqming feature, either of beauty or utility. ‘And then look tn the gtars and see & foolish person who has to follow the fashions even when he knows they are stupid and ugty. The women are wiser than men in Try This on Your Wise Friend There were 36 heads and 100 feet in a collection of each ? Answer to yesterdays 118. (Answer is found by working the problem backwards.) were there of HAT thelr generation. Women's hats are foolish and expensive, but they are attractive, and those of the men are not. No sensfhle man can blame the Jewn who revolted at the wickedness of Jason In introducing tnto Jeru salem the fashion of wearing hats.

I found her crying ber heart out tn the dressing: room.” He took an agitated stride up and down the room; stopping suddenly he faced Ferrier. “I love that girl,” he eaid with dis- arming straightforwardness, “I dare say I'm a fool; it's knocked the ma ter up-—I told her all about ft, and, oh, #he said the usual things—that Kitty was common—that I should| regret the day I met her, and stuff like that.

It seems she knew him years ago. “Ho treated her ike dirt—he's the fort of man who would. Have you noticed the devilish way he shows his teeth when he smiles? I never trust @ man who docs that.” "Go on.” “Well, Kitty—oh, good heavens, man, I can't tell you anything about him that you don’t know, surely? You've knocked about the world more than I have; you must have} met heaps of shafy chauracters—how the deuce did you pick up with him?” Ferrier made no answer; he felt afraid all at once to tell Hastings the whole story. Hastings loved this Gancer—Kitty Inglis—and if Major had ever done her a bad turn—his thoughts fled to Joan as he stood looking down at the younger man’s face—dared he) give them all away to this boy with! the fury in his eyes? “You're quite right In what you my,” be answered slowly, as if he were thinking over each word. “The man ts no good!

Before him rose a vision of Joan's pale fage and frightened eyes. What would It mean for her if he told this hot blooded boy the truth? Come what may, he knew he could never give her away, and because of that, her brother also was safe! “I'm real sorry,” he said earnest ty. “But I can't tell you any more. I'd never have brought Major along of my own free will—he followed me—he thinks I'm a goose to pluck. He's reckoned without his master?
