Prompt Service OTHING is so noticeable in the most elegant mlillinery prepared for the fall season as ostrich feathers. Short, broad plumes and tips lead in popularity. After them ostrich feath- ere developed in fancy forms have demonstrated the ingenuity of manu- facturers in copying flower forms and in originating all sorts of new deco- rations. This fancy ostrich is to take the place of prohibited aigrettes, much to the satisfaction of all right-thinking people. America having taken the in- itiative in doing away with the ai- grette, French and other designers have replaced it with ostrich and other fancy feathers quite as airy and beau- titul, Many of the new shapes are wide- brimmed, and wide brime always mean long and short plumes. Three hats are shown here in which the use of os- trich plumes in the best of mountings may be studied. It will be seen that one may use a single plume of medium length, or two long plumes, or many short ones, with equally artistic effect. But for some time the simplest forms of trimming have characterized the work of the greatest designers, and a single plume of finest quality mounted on a velvet hat leaves nothing to be desired in the way of art and elegance. The black velvet hat (shown in the picture) having a narrow brim at the right side, which widens and lifts to the left, is decorated with a single white plume. This plume is mounted on the un- derbrim, and its full, broad end, or “head,” falls acroes the hair and back brim, The beautiful picture hat, having a wreath of ostrich tips about its brim, with ends curling upward toward the crown, is finished with a half plume on the bandeau and underbrim at the left. To add any further trimming to this model would be as foolish as adorning the My or painting the rose. A wide-brimmed hat, in which a single magnificent plume i1s mounted on the crown at the right side, s most original and daring in its use of os- trich. The end of the plume is cut off at the beginning of the flues. The plume is lald upon the crown and sewed down in two places. It is left free to curl and curve at its own sweet and graceful will. A narrow band of handsome moire ribbon, tied in the simplest of bows at the left side, fin- ishes the bat. In this model the body of the hat amounts to elmply a set- ting for the plume, which is featured by the manner in which it is placed. Ostrich plumes and tips in fine qual- ity make a good investment because no matter what the vagaries of fash- fon they are never “out.” JULIA BOTTOMLEY. It is sad to see family relics sold at auction, but the most pitiful thing under the hammer i{s generally your thumb npail.—London Tit-Bits, The Basque s the Thing most prominent feature in all au- thoritative displays of new styles in gowns is the basque. It is shown in several developments, including mod- els which hang straight from the shoulder to the swell of the hips. But this model is not as graceful as those which follow the outline of the figure. None of them is tight fitting. They fasten either in front or the back. A gown designed by one of the fore- most French costumers is shown in -the picture given here. It is an excel- B.

Where the basque and skirt join, a narrow girdle of the material of the dress is sewed down and fin- ished with a small bow at the back. Fancy buttons are set on, but in real- !ity the basque is fastened with hooks 'and eyes. The front of the garment is cut like the back, in a “V” shape at the neck. This gives opportunity for the intro- 'ducdon of white next to the face. A l guimpe with flaring collar made of fine organdie fills in the open space. The basque hangs straight from the bust at the front. The shoulders and body are cut in one and the shoulders are very long. In this, as in other basque models, long sleeves are shown. They taper in toward the waist, and cuffs are worn with them. In the gown pictured the cuffs are of organdie, but stiff linen cuffs are very smart, worn with black satin gowns. Women will welcome the return of plaited skirts. The plaits are pressed down and the skirts at most are two yards wide. This gives room for a comfortable stride, but preserves the effect of a narrow skirt. A very new basque has been made ; in which a straight panel is set in down the back. The underarm por tions are gathered and joined to the panel with a piping. Pipings, in fact, are much in evidence on many of the new gowns. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. S s R G e HOGWALLOW NEWS. Dunk Botts, Sidney lHocks became intbx- icated Saturday evening and tried to drive his yoke of steers into the postoftfce, but failed on account of the door being too narrow. ! There fhave « been many other complaints on ac- count of the narrowness of the door at the postoffice. Atlas Peck has violated the confidence of several of his warmest friends and after this it will be a hard matter for him to get a drink of licker that is any account. He obtained a jug of Bat Smith’'s Moonlight Reel the other day under the pretense that he was going to use it in celebrating his annu- al birthday. But instead of that he took it home aund pnit! some asfoedita in it, and is us- ing it for pneumonia medicine. Frisby Hancocks rheumati has taken a turn for the worst, and he has decided he had bet- ter look after his religion. Sun- day he went over and bragged on the Dog Hill preacher’s ser- mon, Several from' this place will go to Tickville next third Sun- day to witness the unveiling of the town pumbp. The Blind Man of the Calf Ribs neighborhood was about to be talked into buving a heat- ing stove from Slim Pickens the other day, but the trade was knocked in the head by one of Slim’s enemies, who told the Blind Man that winter was over. Cricket Hicks, who has been at work in the Calf Ribs com- munitv several weeks, has re- turned home with five dollars in cash. This will somewhat re- lieve the financial situation around Hogwallow, as money was beginning to get. very scarce. The examining trial of Raz Barlow charged with detaining the Mail Carrier by offering him a drink of licker, was set down for trial at Rye Straw yester- day, but was continued on count of lack of sufficient evi- dence to acquit the defendent. The Old Miser, who some time ago buried his money in a! mule collar, has dug it up and hid it in Gander Creck grave- vard where he knows everybody is honest.

Eazley is making ideal hushand, contrary to predictions made when he mar- ried again last vear. Tle has cleaned off a nice place on the bank of the creek for her to do family washing, and in order to be ever near her, he has picked out a fishing place right across the stream. Slim Pickens came wallow yvesterday morning and after resting a while on the front porch, bought fifteen cents worth of bologna sausage. Cricket Tlicks, an old friend came up and hesitated, but Slim “did not recognize him until the sausage was all gone. The Mail Carrier’s watch has been left at Dbhek Hock’s black- smith shop where it is under- going extensive repairs. Dock is fast gaining notoriety as a machinist. Poke Eazley is spending th: week at the postoffice watching the dirkdaubers build nests bn the rafters. This is the only job of work Poke ever wit- nessed without suggesting a better way to do it. Miss Hostetter Hocks has written to the “Advice to the Lovelone” department of a city paper asking for a recipe for the cure of sun-grins. Ellick Hell- wanger savs he would prescribe the eating of green goose- berries. | read Poke an the to Hog- Paris, Sept. 10.—One of the notable aspects of the war is the paralysis of the commercialized vice of Paris, whose agents in the Boulevard des C apuciness are so familiar to all Amer- ican towdists. The dekestable “Wish a guide, mister?” is no longer asked of the boule- vard pedestrians in the Place de I'Opera. The tables in front of the boulevard restaurants are but sparsely surrounded. Even the better cafes are two-thirds closed and the few remaining | waiters are sorry that they are itoo old to be with the troops. ——— e A municipal machine ‘shop will soon be established in Sacramento, ,Cal., in which al] of the city's ma- chlm- work will be done.
