Straw Hat Season • Is Almost at Hand Few More Days of Sunshine Will Bring Out the New Headgear. \ A few more days of the brand of weather handed out in this section since the open ing of May will see the blos soming of the 1916 straw hat season in Indiana. Unhampered by an "official" straw hat day, this town goes blithely along from year to year, the date of the appearance of straws depending entirely upon weather conditions. Other plac es may abide by the convention al rule that May 15 is the prop er day for the initial appear ance of the straw, but Indiana folks prefer to leave it to the weatherman. Straws will be very largely worn this summer, accord ng to local hatters. The new styles for youths are the creased crown, Alpine shapes, with wide brims, very similar to the prevailing soft headgear. These are in Milans, Panamas and Duam-Panamas. For the older folk there is the same idea— the Alpine crown with pencil curl brim and the same crown with snap brim to be worn pull ed down over the eyes. Dealers expect a large sale in Leghorn straw hats. These are of a straw, a very light tan in color, which has been much us ed in ladies' hats, and which comes from Italy. The Bang kok in featherweight is anoth er novelty. There is a circle locally that observes May 15 as official open ing day, but tomorrow, May 14, will see a great many of them sporting the summer headgear* Best stores advertise in Tke Patriot FIVE CENT-
