"Perhaps the origin of the hat .was the fillet, Which was In almost uni versal use among smooth haired peoples to keep back their stray locks. We have made additions from time to time in both horizontal and vertical directions until the cre ations worn In New York and Pari iiave come about, as well as the pic turesque hats and caps worn with various national costumes, or fickle fashion makes her Influence felt wherever people live. In Persia the headgear worn proves very useful to a stranger as well as Co the natives In identifying both the residence and the social standing of the weaer. The Kurds In that coun try wear a hat which looks like a huge Inverted black coffee-pot bound around with a gay silk handkerchief. The Bakhtlaris, who live In the mountains nenr the British oil fields, wear a white felt hat that looks like a preserving kettle. The pensnnt or artisan wenrs a rough felt dome, the merchant or stu dent the black pill-box, the porter a skullcap, the police officer a white lamb's-wool hot, and the ecclesiastic a cuslifon-HUe turbun. In the Holy Land, too, the hat Is In dicative of the station of the wearer. The Bedouin, the dweller in the "houses of hair" In the desert to the south, enst and northeast, wears a targe flowing scarf of silk or cotton, called the "kefeey.h," bound round his head by a twisted rope of goat's - or camel's hair, generally about two Inches thick. The Turkish soldiers of Bagdad dur ing the World war, though they adopt ed a uniform much like that worn by British and American soldiers, re tained the kefeeyah, which artists call the most picturesque headdress worn by men. The fellah, or farmer of Palestine, wears a tnrban consisting of ' four parts, a small white felt skullcap, over this another skullcap of white cotton, which In turn Is surmounted by a red f cloth fez with a large black tassel, and I about the whole a scarf or shawl. ? Most of the Apostles belonged to this . class. The third cluss In the Holy Land, the merchants, artisans, teachers, scribes, and governing officials wenr a turban similar to that worn by the farmers, except that the scarf Is larg er, cleaner, and of lighter and more delicate colors and materials. An enormous chignon made of sheep's wool Is worn by the nuns of the Ta-Tshang Nunnery of Tibet, which one traveler says lies In one of the most desolate and wind-swept spots imaginable. Much of the charm of the Turko man of Trnnscaspia Is due to his huge and fantastic cap made of shaggy sheep's wool, two or three times ps large as his head, which he perches at a characteristically rakish and In dependent angle. The Arab woman of Oman wears a peculiar headdress that to the Amer ican mind suggests "blinkers," since it fits nround her eyes and down her nose from Its bridge to its tip after the fashion of football gear. The Hindu woman's dress is made glorious by the sari, as 'distinctive a touch in her attire as is the mantilla of the Spanish lady. She drapes it about her body for a skirt, allows its graceful folds to pass over her shoul ders and head, where, by a trick of moving it before her luminous eyes when the inspiration prompts, she makes it a luring instrument of co quetry. The children and young girls of Savoy wear little caps In shape like those an American baby wears, except that the turned-back frill stands out over the face at the top. They are made, of vivid red and blue or blue uud green combinations and are tied under their chins with a ribbon. There Is just a slight difference In this "beglne" In each village, and It soon becomes easy to tell Just where any peusant conies from. In Mont Kond, for instance, the stiff part .of the beglne slopes back at a rather acute angle, while in St. Jean D'Arves the lace of the beglne stands up straight. In St. Sorlln D'Arves the lace In the front of the beglne Is bent down flat and its back is squarer than "that of St. Jean D'Arves. When -it rains these women put on over these caps a very large flat felt hat, which takes the place of our umbrella. When the Osmanll Turkish woman goes on the streets she wears a gar ment enveloping her whole person which resembles a scanty double pet ticoat made of any kind of cloth. The upper part is drawn hood wise over her head and fastened under her chin. Her face Is then completely hidden by a small square of dark-colored silk or muslin. Despite the fact that there Is a tend ency to do away with the cloak worn by Turkish women. It Is still used to a great extent In the towns and some Christian women living In close prox imity to Moslems have been forced to adopt the attire. The Bulgarian woman wears a little round skullcap covered in gold braid with a long fringe hanging down the back which she covers with a large white scarf embroidered around the edges and fastened to the cap with innumerable ornaments and strings of coius. Everyone Is familiar with the cute little white Dutch cap with its becom ing flaps on the side, and knows the grace with which the Spanish lady wears her mantilla. The Alsatlau woman, wears a huge bow of black ribbon on her head. Oc casionally you "see a red or a plaid ribbon and sometimes it is ornamented with lurge bright flowers. The women of the Canall valley wear a snowy-white starched cap. The Herzegovinlan women In Ra gusa wear fascinating long white lace veils attached to tiny red enps, which they decorate during festivals with bright yellow marigolds. The Sardinian farmer wears an en larged edition of the Scotch cap, which serves him not only as a head covering but as a lunch bag from which he will take a loaf of bread at noon, and on which he occasionally sleeps at night. The Wallachlan furmer affects a small derby, smaller than Charlie Chaplin's well-known "lid;" which he often adorns with a wreath of flow era. The elegant SalonikI dame wears a flat-covered frame that could scarcely be termed a hat. It Is usually crowned with an oval gilt plaque ornamented In seed pearls, ami invariably has a fringed tall of dark green silk, also ornamented with a similar plaque, In which she keeps her hair. But in cne particular the peasant woman of Russia has the advantage of all of us. She wraps about her head one of those soft beautiful Pers ian or cashmere shawls which Is gen erally richer In texture and color than any creation of a Fifty-seventh street milliner. DECLARED SUPERIOR TO GOLF Northern Italians Devoted to "Boccie" Sport Has Some of the Princi ples of Curling. The game of "boccie" Is the national sport of northern Italy. The crowd follows it as our crowd follows base ball. The people spend all day Sun day after mass playing It. There is always betting on the game. Every one with an estate of any size has a course for "boccie." On the private courses, men, women and children alike play. Each player uses two wooden balls about the size of bowling balls. Each team, of two or four, as a rule, has one balllno. This is a little wooden ball about the size of a baseball which is rolled down the alley first. Wher ever It stops is goal for the big balls which are pitched after It. The game Is to pitch them so that they do not strike It out of position, but stop as close to it as possible. Of course if an opponent places the ball well the game is to use your first ball to knock his out of place, and then try to get your second shot Into posi tion, says an Italian enthusiast who Insists that golf Is a stupid game If one baa ever learned to play "boccie."

Office politics are not unknown even In the government bureaus. Indeed though perhaps this should be whispered maybe they're better known there than anywhere else. A brignt young man holds down a very responsible job In one govern ment unit and holds It down very capably. His nominal superior Is gen erally recognized as merely a figure head. Relations between the two are a bit strained. The other day a Washlngtonlan, talking of the bright young man, re marked : "I nearly ran down your boss the other day In Scott circle." And he mentioned the boss by name. The young man looked blank. "Have I a boss by that name?" he asked. "Oh, yes I kaow whom you mean. We have a dead man up at the shop by that name."
