O'Shaughnessy. Are women who regularly wear hats more intelligent than those who habitually go hatless? That question is currently being heatedly discussed by many of our countrywomen. I believe the query should be amended . to ready: "are women who are in terested in hats more intelligent than those who are not?" The hat enthusiasts are probably smarter than those who never give headgear . a thought. How ever, I understand the reason many women rarely wear hats at this time is because of the difficulty in acquiring a hat that suits them. One that enhances their appearance rather than handicapping it. In brief, the la dies appear firm in their belief that a hat should dp something for a woman, not something to her. Asking - Queries from clients. Q. When and where did Pearl White die? Am, of course, referring to the star of the classic serial "The Perils of Pauline." A. Pearl died on Aug. 4, 1938, in the Ameri can hospital in Paris. . . Q. What kind of a phobia is keraunpho bia? A. Fear of lightning. I have it. Especially when in New Jer sey in the summertime.

On this all the experts on the sub ject of coffee consuming are agreed.. Among 'the Married What was the most difficult year of your marriage? It is gen erally claimed the first year is the most difficult. After that the sixth year. However, in the United States most divorces take place in the fourth year of mar riage. This . comment brings to mind that during a discussion as to whether the first year, the fourth year or the sixth year of married life was most difficult, Hedy LaMarr said, "My first year of my first marriage was very difficult! My husband gave me 17 dogs and insisted that . I keep all of them." . . Passing By Ann Sheridan. The school teacher from Denton,. Tex., who became the original "Oomph Girl" of the films.
