The bill making compulsory the removal
of all screens from the front of bars in liquor
saloons, and which is designed to make the
sales of liquors just as open as the sales of

or floating brims, which only emphasized the
points that needed toning down. Many women
nave Deen made beautiful by the protecting
shade OF the soft beaver brims and the distinc-
tive finish of the ostrich feathers, without any
mixture OF frippery and color
feathers are IN the ascendant this winter for
ornam entatlon, and are more suitable than
MOWERS Tor this season, although in the coun-
try holly berries look well against black or
grey or dark green. But long, slender and
Won0erIuny shaded feathers are very much
preferred for this design in rich bFocaded
silks, and shaded ostrich feathers are made
with pearl and shell or amber sticks into the
richest tans-fans and fan-shaped punches of
peacock feathers are used for wall decora-
tions, humming birds for looping up white

more or less vulgar. Bracelets, consisting OF
