The Hats we are showing for Christmas are rich, not gaudy, and
express no extreme fancy. They are such as will be selected by those who
want hats of quiet style and assured quality that will be suitable and correct for
most occasions.
The price of these hats show a reasonable profit, and it is this reasonable
profit principle that has made the enviable reputation of

"That's thc advice we get from every

The confirmed commuter grunted.

his hand for the other man's cigar

"Still, If I do my shopping at this

Tho commuter turned and gazed sol-
lemnly at the suburbanite with the as
trakhan cap.
"Let me tell you something," he said
suddenly. "I've learned some things
by experience and I 'm going to give
von tho benefit of them. Last year I
got all full of this early shopping
idea. Accordingly I sailed in to clean
up my list of presents the first week
In December. I didn't tell my wife
anything about It I was going to bo

to death by trotting out a wagon load
of Christmas truck just about the time
she began to talk about going shop

getting into the game so early.
I "I hid away all my plunder until a
week before Christmas. I had all the
trunks and closets in tho house stack
ed up like a department store. I was
in a constant state of nervous dread
lest my wife should stumble upon my
hoard of bargains before I was ready
to spread them before her in all their
gorgeousncss. She didn't stumble a
bit.
"One evening she suggested that we
ought to begin thinking about our
Christmas shopping. That was my
time to gloat.
" Oh, don't worry about that,' I told
her. 'I've got all that taken care of.
I did my shopping early, It's all over.'
"She took one look at me just
about as she might look at me if I
had idly confessed to murdering tho
baby.
" 'Do you mean to say,' she said, in
that tone of suppressed excitement
which begins a row, 'that you did all
that shopping without me? Without
giving me a chance to to help you?
I can't believe it!

time and my voice was a bit weak

pected to work in accord, with tho
probablo support of France. There are
wide differences of opinion between
these powers and tho other six coun
tries represented. Great Britain stands I
alone in supporting the rights of ci
belligerent to search neutral mer
chantmen proceeding to an enemy's
port under tho escort ot a warship fly
ing the same flag. She claims tho
right ot search under all circum
stances, while tho othor powers con
tend that tho guaranty of a neutral
power should be sufficient to protect
its vessels from molestation. It is
probable, however, that Great Britain
will concede this in return for some
point she considers moro essential.
Great Britain Is desirous of abolish
ing contraband entirely; America and
Japan do not go so far, but they would
agree if only munitions of war should
bo declared contraband.
Tho continental powers will urge tho
continuation of tho proscnt system
under which tho belligerents declaro
