OUR GAME LAWS.
Some Suggestions on the Subject
from Polk Miller.
CFor the Dlspatch.)

trOf the
A prominent physician of Essex county
wrote the Fredericksburg Star the fol-
lowing:
The passage of the "bird law" nearly
two years ago was not necessitated by
the shooting of birds by sportsmen, but
by an intensely cold winter, and its deep
SHOWS. II any such law had never been
enacted there would have been just as
many, and probably more, partridges now
than there are, for during the vacation
hawks have destroyed more birds than n
real sportsman would have bagged. The
fire and smoke OF a sportsmans gun Is
greater protection 10 partridges, on ac-
count Of hawks, than prohibitory acts Of
the Legislature.
or course, when I say sportsmen, /
don't mean Still and pot-hunters," for
the latter. TO effect their purposes, Would
kill the last bird God ever created.
i have been partridge shot Tor over
fifty years and ever observation has
made me conclude as / have said.
In Middlesex county there was, l sup
pose. farm Of 800 acres, called "Corbin
Hall, and when purchased by Uncle
him (who was a sportsman, there were
only nine covies OF birds on IL, and
Uncle Mordecai" kept shooting at them
until, two years after. your correspondent
had the fun Of shooting at nineteen iioeks
on the same farm. X. Y. II.
much more destructive than the sports
men, and while many counties pay for
scalps, the most OF them do not. BY
all means our Legislature should make
II obligatory upon the boards Of SUPER
yisors OF every county to pay for the
scalps OF hawks and foxes, too. Our
fox-hunting friends seem TO think that
this would deprive them Of their favorite
sport, because II would set all the darkics
to cunning for foxes. This is wrong.
for the negro and HIS cur dog and gun
would not kill half dozen In the whole
State in year. while the reward would
help to feed manyfa good fox hound.
And now for the game law, which TWO
at least OF our county judges have de-
cided unconstitutional. In the bill which
/ prepared and presented to our General
Assembly. and which was endorsed by
sportsmen throughout the State, made
1t a point TO leave out the very clause
upon which these judges rendered their
decisions. In arguing the matter before
the committee. took the ground that the
farmer owned everything that was raised
on his land, and II ne didn't. he thought
SO. and no amount OF talking could con-
vince him to believe otherwise. ex-
pressed the belief that the farmers OF
Virginia were men OF too much common
sense and decency to shoot out OF season
simply because they had right to edo |
as they pleased on their own premises"
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-10-03

sable cape most in favor is composed of
q deep frill Of whole skins, without the
paws. sewn together lengthwise with the
tails forming a fringe round the edge.
This is mounted TO a small yoke with
a roll collar. Flat boas of this fur are
considered the most desirable of all. and
will be trimmed with number Of dang
ling tails, somewhat in the style they
wore them last year. only with more
tails
We are 10 have boas galore this win
ter. anyhow, the most in evidence being
the short kind which is quite full at
the back of the neck, and quite mar
row at the ends. Fur collars are always
a desirable adjunct 10 winter costumes,
but this is pre-eminently a fur season,
and we will have fur on everything, as
well as different varieties put together
In one garment For collars which are
made of whole skins, fox Is the favor
lite, and sable or marten collars requiring
two skins stand next in the popular
fancy.
Some of the more fanciful collars for
elaborate wraps are ornamented with vel
vet, SATIN or lace, or some combination OF
these materials, and some of the short
haired furs lend themselves extremely
well to embroidery, especially the tam
bour stitch exeCu ted in metallic thread
This style of trimming is used principally
on yOkes and vests. and Is, of course
only intended for the extremists of fash
ion and fortune.
Especially is the fur Jacket to be the
idol of the hour this winter. We are to
have short coats, both with and without
sleeves. the latter being either pelerine
sleeves or the ordinary coat variety. Inc
particular style of coat which promises
to be the favorite of Dame Fashion comes
well down 10 the waist in the back ana
shortly below it in front, finishing in
slight points. Two charming examples OF
the prevailing style which had the privi-
lege Of seeing well merit description.
The first and most striking was MADE
of black sea-lion fur, which is straight
haired. very satiny-looking, and has the
appearance OF being very durable as well
as very beautiful. 1t was cut in casaque
fashion. slightly undulating in the basque
behind with a high. outstanding collar OF
dark marten, straight all round. The
front was ornamented with two broadly
spreading revers of Du Barry pink vel
vet. softened with light bordering of
black silk and closing in point at the
waist.
The second Jacket. while not so original
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-10-03

in conception, still has much to recon-
mend it. 1t is made of breischwautz, the
battement basque edged with finger
width Of tailless ermine. The outstanding
collar, also crenelated and edged with
white fur. is lined either with velvet or
fur 1t is fastened from collar TO waist
with large mother-of-pearl buttons, in
crusted with chased gold in scroll work.
1t seems we must have the blouse
effect, even In furs, and blouses with short
basques of this ever present material
Will be given the preference. The most
pronounced objection to this has been
the fact-which. by the way is not to
be questioned-that 1t, has the effect Of
charging the waist. always an undesi-
rable thing. This has. however, been
obviated by a very simple device which
originates with our clever French
cousins. 1t consists Of a narrow band
of silk inserted around the waist. which
is concealed by the ever fashionable belt.
True, to the prevailing craze for fur,
even the mlliners have fallen in line,
and although we have had fur trimmings
to some extent for very long time, this
season they will appear on all the fash
ionable hats for out-of-door use, and
even some theatre hats as well. Sable
heads and tails are greatly in favor,
for two reasons-the fur stands very
near the head of the list this year, and
the head and tails lend themselves easily |
to graceful arrangement. One very
charming AmaZone hat was of rich. |
dark blue velvet. with black ostrich tips |
at the side, while a rosette of the sable |
was placed more to the front, affixed by |
a sparkling rhinestone ornament.
Another effective use of this same fur |
was shown on a bonnet with a gold and /
silver embroidered crown. The dadem !
brm was Of the sable, and from the !
edge of the brim on the left side, back |
to back come one white and one light |
brown feather, rising from saucy, little |
sable head with glistening ruby eyes. |
White satin strings were employed to
tie this dainty affair on. And / might /
mention incidentally, that some of the
very newest and most exclusive bonnets
and toques now have these appendages.
and it is whispered i'm millinery circles
that the stringed bonnets are coming in
again. May it be soon, for pretty bon

General Dow was born almost ninety
four years ago of Quaker parentage. Ho
