Jhey Cost a Fourth More.
Sailor straw hats, the only kind
that will be worn by the ultra-fashionable
this year, are even now sell
in'sr in Omaha stores, and they cost
25 per cent more than they did last
year. . ' - - .: ," -
At the three largest department

And in those days it took" some
bird to wear a Panama and get by.
As soon; as he appeared on the strejt

he was marked dpwn as "one of the
