Noah Webster
the Old Dictionary Maker
Say$ a Fable Is
an invention or fictitious narrative
to enforce a precept.
Aesop, a slave, was a fable maker,
and it was he who said he meant to
convey truth by an allegory to assist
one to remember it better.
For example:
A hunerry bear wandered from the
forest into a homestead clearing,
through an open gate where the
beehives were, and a bee stung him.
Maddened by pain he ran back and
for revenge overturned the beehives,
which so angered the bees that the
whole swarm turned on him and he
was wounded from head to tail.'
While licking his sores, he realized
how much better off he would have
been if he had not become resentful
and provoked a whole family or
community.
A very little lamp upset in a stable
started the great fire at Chicago.

Presenting This Morning
the Authentic New Modes
in Paris Millinery
PAjRIS, waSi.of several inds, regarding some phases of millinery, we
decided, this year as we viewed the hats in the foremost ateliers. But all
the modiste's were of one mind when it came to beauty of line, richness of
fabric and lovely colorings, we agreed!
These hat fashions are the last to come over the Atlantic; they arrived just in time to
get into the news. They are the fashions Paris herself approves and will wear And here

There Is a Furore Over Velvet
and rich velvets aro seen everywhere deep lustrous
blacks, wonderful browns (and Paris is showing a
great fondness for brown), blues and other rich
colors.'
Next in favor come shaggy fabrics like soft
wools, Angora hats, plush hats and hats of furry
beaver cloths. All these you will see In the newest,
smartest models.
Hats Are Large Quite Large, Often
and Monsieur Lewis has quite a liking for Napoleonic
hats, brood of brim and turned sharply off the face.
Brims are often very broad, sometimes turned
up at one side. And there are delightful hats with
great soft crowns and others with crushable brims.
But becoming they are and wearable always.
