Fashion Notes.

A handsome long cloak is mad With
straight breadths gathered into yoke
This yoke is unique in its design, being
made in very long tabs shaped some
what like peach leaf. These ia bs
unite in small yoke above which is
collar slightly haring and standing up
around the throat. Collar, yoke and
tabs are solid mass of rich emhroid-
cry. Such a trimming as this is suit
able for any handsome material, such
as heavy silk velvet, moire or brocade.
The boa seems to be less in demand
than the cape or very stylish collar.
In this latter garment there are sew
eral attractive designs, one OF them
having points that come over the
shoulders and down the front and
back-in fact, is but little more than q
deep collar with standing collar A
model of this sort is Of sealslzin, and
has very deep, full Angora fringe.
Ermine, from becoming popular, has
become fad, and every woman who
has money to buy it wants ermine in
some form or another The only diff
fculty is its scarcity and extravagantly
high price Really fine ermine is al
most impossible to obtain, and the
most fabulous prices are paid for it.
Cages of MORE are trimmed with fur
collars and lined with bright silk.
One of the handsomest of these gar
ments was recently made to order and
lined with very stiff brocade.
Muffs are somewhat larger than
heretofore. Many muffs will be used
during the coming winter without
other furs.
A dress of cloth with a narrow moire
panel down the front is among the
new importations
Sleeveless jackets of various materials
with passementerie edgings are popu-
lar.
Cutaway jackets of velvet are much
liked by young girls

A Millinery Oddity.

Here is the oldest toque on record.
Three heads of little animals are its
most conspicuous feature. They arc
the foundation upon WHICH the soft
crown of velvet rests.
This crown is of turquoi.e blue,
studded with jet. Spreading out from
each side of the crown are winglike
loops of black gauze. ablaze with gold
spangles. That the toque is con-
sidered the height of fashion is shown
by its price, s25.
A fetching little collet is sold with
the toque. It is made of a pointed
yoke of turquoise velvet, finished with

SWEET SEVENTEEN.

Miss Birdie Hicklin was the recipient
of an agreeable surprise Monday even.
ing at her pleasant home at Sixth and
Laurel. 1t was rumored during the
day that Miss Hicklin was to celebrate
her nth anniversary, and those aware
of the fact took the occasion to express
their appreciation for her. A goodly
number met at the street railway wait
ing room and went en- 1nasse to her res
idence To say that she was surprised
is putting it very mildly. However,
after some exertion she became COM
posed and for short time merriment
reigned supreme. Several impromptn
congratulative speeches and respones
were made. all Of whom bespoke her
success and expressed the public senti-
| ment of the esteem in which this
young lady is held. Mr.. and Mrs. G. /.
Holt, sister and brother-in-law of Miss
Hicklin, warmly received those giving
| the surprise and Mr.. Holt in a few well
chosen remarks expressed himself as a
| firm believer in the factthat upon the
young people depended the future state
of society and Christianity. All were
| well pleased.

SOME of the railroads have pre-
sented claims to the government for
carrying troops last summer during
the railroad strike. AS the troops
were called out at the request of the
railroads to protect their property and
keep their lines open, it would appear
to be no great hardship if they contrib
uted the transportation, especially if
the government contributed every
thing else. Payment of the claims, it
is said. will be resisted by the War
department.

There were about eight Afro Amer
leans elected to Office by vote of the
Republicans of Mahaska county at the
last election. We have not heard of a
single, solitary Afro-American being
able to get even nomination from the
Democrats of that county. Of course,
the Democrats might have overlooked
the matter, or it may be and is quite
possible that there is only one Negro
Democrat in the county.

There are plenty of men who are
willing to be governor for a salary of
s4,1oo year, but the question of abil-
ity seems to have been overlooked.
There is something else to be done be-
sides drawing the salary. The people
of Iowa have had men of marked abil-
ity and national reputation in the gov
ernor's chair for years, and they will
be satisfied with nothing else. BY the
way, is there anything on the statute
books to prevent man declining to
be governor on account of the meager-
ness of the salary? If SO, we are in
favor of compelling Governor Jackson
to comply with the law.

INCENsED BY INCENsE.-With smok.
ing censer and service of an extreme
ly ritualistic character the first Sunday
in advent was celebrated in st. Johns
Protestant Episcopal Church, in King
ston, n. Y, lastSunday.
Rev. Father Lewis T. Watson, rec.
tor of the church, announced some time
ago that he was convinced it was his
duty to use incense in the service.
The matter was laid before Bishop
Potter, it is said, and some thought he
might interfere.
Those who went to st. Johns last
Sunday expecting to see the church
thronged by curious people were disap-
pointed, for the congregation was no
larger than usual.
The service was exceedingly beauti-
full. The altar was lighted and the
vested choir never sang with more
spirit. Father Watson wore rich
purple chasuble over his vestments of
pare white, and in the chancel around
him were four acolytes vested in scar
let and white, the thurifer and crucifer.
During the singing of the otfertory
hymn the smoking censer was handed
to the priest before the altar, and, for
the first time, the fumes Of burning in
cense were waited through the church.
As the priest began the words of the
prayer which precedes the conservation
of the elements, the four acolytes, bear
ing large candlesticks with burning
candles, and the thurifer with the burn
ing censer, marched in solemn process
sion from a room off the chancel and
kneeled around the altar. When the
host was elevated the large gong which
had also been brought to the altar was
struck twice-a custom common to the
Catholic ritual. The communion in
both parts was then administered to
about twent-fve persons, an unusually
small number.

PUT SALT ON CoAL.-At this time of
the year. when the coal begins to de-
velop such extraordinary possibilities
in the way of rapid consumption, house
keepers are eagerly on the lookout for
something that will, at least, prevent
waste, if it cannot by any other means,
make ton 'go further" There afe
several preparations for this purpose
sold under fanciful names, but the ba-
sis of most of them is ordinary salt. If
the latter is sprinkled literally over
the coal, either in the bin or as it is put
in the furnace, it will make it burn
more evenly to clean ash, and will
also prevent clinkers. Of course, there
is some chemical explanation for this,
but the ordinary housewife does not
care much about the reason. She is
satisfied that it is so.
