quite ready to foregO all her claims to
beauty by gowning herself permanently in
black and yet feels her dignity somewhat
above most of the frivolitles of such ar
ucles of dress as have been enumerated
above, is finding a good seal of attention
given 20 her needs this season. For eX-
ample, gown advocated at the theater
ana calls, for a mother of grown daugh-
tiers, IS of gray green MORE, with vest
OF Whlte satin and a green cloth cape re-
beved by touches of satin. The bonnet
that went with this suit was made of for
get-me-not blue velvet, In a modified cor
onet shape with a tuft of pink roses at
one side and a little fan of tiny pure
white wings In front Three close set
straws of black velvet bebe ribbon formed
the bonnet strings, for such is the fashion
or the moment, and the whole toilet was
a safe key note by which any woman,
Just on the shadowy side of forty, could
attune her whole wardrobe.
For house and morning gowns the mid
Ole aged woman can wear a skirt of
mauve silk having three tiny frills at the
hem and with this a blouse Of fine white
lawn over an under waist of sky blue

down the front, lace stock al the neck
and rolling cuffs of lace to relieve any

committee meetings at her house, etc
Black corded silk and violet velvet, Of
ten in careful combination, are the mate
rails most frequently used in the making
of gowns for brides mothers and almost
wholly to the use of the middle aged wo-
man is, given the handsome applied trim
ming of chenille and jet of which so much
is seen. Good taste, after playing truant
so long, is driving ladies with frosting hair
from the use of the always inappropriate
and very unbecoming hat to their rightful
monopoly of the small bonnet. The lit
tie coronets made of velvet roses, or
wreaths of jet wings, or graduated ro-
settles Of ribbon, are without exception
lovely and suitable for the matrons, who
tie them on with lace lappets, crossing
under the chin, groups of narrow ribbon,
or folds of velvet scarce a fourth of an
inch wide and edged with beads.

initiates closely the rotation of treading,
and by passing over coils of steam pipes
gets warmth similar to the heat of the
treader's body. The furs and dust are re-
volved rapidly until sufficient dust has
been taken up, when they are dumped
out, picked up separately and given a
deft shake, and the hand labor is again
called into use.
The skins are spread to air, beaten,
turned fur out and given to the comber.
He finishes the silky coats; evens up skins
to point of symmetry. For with the In
dian trapper q hind leg comes very handy
for his chief or to work into his tribal
robes, and many a four-legged animal
arrives with a three-legged skin at the
dresser's shop. Then half of the hind leg
is deftly sewed to the trunk, and the skin
is dressed.
With the above processes faithfully
worked out, the fur is never fulled or cot
tony. This system and the honesty of
the trade has won for the American dress
er front rank in the curing of skins.
Except for broad tail or unborn Persian
lamb and the treating of the Persian lamb
itself which is excelled only in Leipsig,
and the London dyeing of seal, which
our climate and chemical condition of the
water make impossible, the United States
of America leads to-day in the curing and
tanning and dressing of furs as its wo-
men do in creating the greatest demands
and the most appreciative fur market.

The Berber Ostrich PIumes.

In recent article on the experimental
gardens of HANNA, the Eden of Algeria"
NJ. Poisson states that the Berber os-
trlches imported from thence to the Cape
for stocking ostrich farms there do not
produce such a fine quality of plumes as
the same birds living in Algeria. The
French, therefore, hope by farming their
own birds to regain the feather market,
which for the time being they have sur
rendered to the Cape. The Berber os-
trich and the Soudan ostrich produce the
fine plumes known as simple" in the
trade. The natives of the Soudan hava
helped to DESTROYS the French trade BY
hunting the birds and eating their eggs.
TO revive the trade it will be necessary TO
ESTABLISH great farms in the southern part
of Algeria, adjoining the Soudan, their
natural habitat. The park of Metarieh,
near Cairo, an ostrich farm begun by
Frenchmen, has proved a success and
numbers over 1000 birds. The newly con-
ouered regions of the Soudan offer a
good field for ostrich culture. The trade
of the Cape amounted to nearly mill
lion sterling a few years ago, and It IS
likely enough that Soudan plumes VIII
excel those Of the Cape.
