Tho most valuable part Of the alba
tross. however. is its plumage. Tho
neck breast and belly arc snow white,
shading delicately into gray and dusky
brown at tho sides and back, and the
feathers are so curled and elastic that
the skin with the plumage on is an inch
or an inch and a half thick. No Amer
material can be got for muffs, cuffs, coll
larcttes, capes or the trimming or lin
ing Of cloaks and robes. II is very light,
yet exceedingly warm, while for ap-
pearance ITS dovclike smoothness and
purity can not be excelled. It has the
advantage, too, of being very durable,
the natural oil OF the bird preserving
the skin and features for many years,
while the Characteristic .musky odor Is
easily overcome by camphor. 1t Is
wonder that some cnterprisipg furrier
or modiste docs not set tho fashion OF
wearing albatross plumage and send to
Autipodcs or Crozct's for seasons sup
ply. There would be money In 1t, nos
only by It's novelty, but by its useful
moss. At the same time, hope 1t will
not be done, because II once the skin OF
mo albatros, acquired u commercial
value and the ruthless hand OF fashion
were laid on its smooth white neck, tho
moor blrl would soon be driven from Its

A Suggestion to House Owners.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR
There is little matter which seems to escape
the notice of house builders and owners, while
attention to it would be a decided convenience
to nearly all who after dark try to linda strange
house by its number. Whoever has tried this
knows how annoying the results are apt to
prove. Most of the houses in this city have
two doors at the main entrance, an outer door
and an inner one. Generally after dark there
Is no light (gas or otherwise) in the small box
entry between these two doors, while the light
from the inner entry or hall rarely shines out
sufficiently to show clearly the figures over the
outer door, where the only number by which
to identify the house is usually placed and
placed SO high up and SO far out of the line of
light as to be indistinct or invisible. What is
evidently desirable is that the number shall be
distinctly shown on the glass over the inner
door as well as over the outer one or so located
that it can be readily seen by person on the
sidewalk. As things are now a stranger to the
house and locality sometimes is obliged to ring
the bell in order to find out the number of the
house or else walk half way up the steps and
peer about, at the risk of being taken for a
prospective burglar. If most OF our residents
would step out to their own front gates about
pm. and try to make cut the numbers Of their
own houses they would probably be at loss to
do so and might then realize the predicament
caller occasionally finds himself. The annoy-
ance resulting from such insufficient number
ing of our houses il real one. though slight
and 1t could be easily prevented. Why isn't 1t?
