From the Amiable Cynic to Cynthia (Continued from page 594) both natural and acquired—about the head in two broad braids or bands. This sounds of Marguerite-ish sim- plicity, but because of some subtle modish twist the effect is the reverse. For Madame Chic the mode is the same, but with those diplomatic modi- fications necessary to bring gray hairs —without dishonor—into close touch with the dernier cri. Above these coiffures the hats no longer perch, as was their wont—they brood—darkly, piratically almost, large, black and ominous—perfect disguises for the charming woman at whose side one dined the evening before. Thank Heaven! in America women must speak first, else one might never know his charmer again. It is absolutely fatal to consider a gilt ornament or a bunch of silver braid distinctive in a hat and pursue the owner. A friend who had over- taken six—only to find his mistake— and had barely escaped arrest on the complaint of the seventh, declared to me solemnly that every one in New York wore the same hat. He has be- come so wary--he'll not even speak to his own wife when he is on the street. There is a cheering rumor that a little headsail will be reefed before a too dense despair settles upon the mas- culine mind. There is a subject for earnest petition—more needful than reducing the tariff! To-day I saw Mrs. V—— on Fifth Avenue with a blackened eye and two front teeth missing. Her marital diffi- culties have been suspected, but her appearance was a surprise until a débutante, walking with her, was dis- covered to have a birthmark on one heck and be growing a most prom- ing chin-beard. Delicacy forbade my devisaging Mrs. V-—, but in the case of the débutante did not restrain me. IT WAS THE NEWEST THING IN veILs! Every monstrosity, from hoopskirts and bustles to the present veils, has tun its course. Humpbacks alone have not so far captivated the femi- nine perverted sense of beauty. Let You Buy Your Last Car First. The Haynes Model 19 was built to fill a demand for a thoroughly high- grade 5-passenger car. In speed, power, dependability, appearance, comfort and equipment it is everything that the name Haynes means to informed motorists. . It sells for $2,000 because it is a smaller, consequently lighter and less expensive car to build, than our 7-passenger models—not because it is in any way inferior in quality. The Haynes name assures the buyer freedom from the troubles that generally are the lot of the buyer of a moderate priced car. For Haynes cars have always been known for their faultless mechanical construction. The Haynes Model 19 $2,000 Fully Equipped is the product of 16 years’ experience. It is a known quantity—not an experiment. It stands to reason that no manufacturer of 2 or 3 years’ stand- ing can attain the results of an expert who has given the best years of his life to motor car building. Those who buy cars of mushroom growth inevitably pay for the ex- perience the maker lacks. Don't take the risk. Buy a Haynes and let the other fellow do the experimenting. A postal will bring our catalog and let you know the name of our local dealer. HAYNES AUTOMOBILE COMPANY 118 MAIN STREET KOKOMO, INDIANA CURES HEADACHES 10c., 28¢., 50c., and $1.00 Bottles. Vale. us look forward hopefully to them in the spring fashions. But now to be profoundly, illumi- natingly, serious; the smartest shades are chicory green and a dull, dead gold. There is a text for you. I can see you delivering the sermon, pre- pared from it by your dressmaker, in the rector’s pew. If you can avoid it do not distract too much attention from St. Francis. After all, souls need sav- ing almost as much as bodies need clothing. Convicted, but impenitent, of a bourgeois mind, I exit for the time. Key Commack. comicbooks.com.
