for brighter hues, gave a dinner party
not long ago. The rooms were decorated
with a great profusion of lowers
Roses in masses were on the mantels,
and the dinner table fairly blossomed;
in fact. the abundance of flowers was
unusual. One of the guests could re-
strain her curiosity no longer, and
when the dessert was brought in, said;
"Well, Mrs. Blank, you're rather
spreading on the flowers tonight!

Grated with Passementerie Lace.
Autumn hats will be fashioned OF
Mauchou braid, which is really a cylin-
der Of felt. 1t can be sewed into any
shape, andconsequently made becoming
to all faces. Stiff felt hats will not be
in vogue. Hats of gray will be trimmed
with white and harmonies in violet,
mixtures of green and black, gray and
rose color will also be in evidence. Beige
color will be fashionable, especially in
the soft Tyrolean shape, with a wide
band of gros grain ribbon around the
crown and a bunch of quilts. The new
models are considerably smaller than
those worn this summer. Low crowns
are in favor, and toques are slightly
smaller than they were last year, and
most of them are turned up abruptly
on one side. Velvets and fancy woven
material, lace and soft silk will be used
for pulled toques. Velvet will be much
used as a trimming, and plumage of all
kinds will be much in demand. Inc
ostrich plumes will be deemed the smart
est. Jet and lace will be employed on
many of the handsomest hats. Capes
will be larger and a little fuller. The
collars will be cut in one piece with
the garment. Braiding is used extern
sively as a decoration for these grace
full garments. A dainty cape cut or

cent provisions in appropriation bills look
ing to the gradual 6iscontinaance OF gov

department or bureau
The petition was presented by Represent

prtation bill. Senator German presented q
similar petition in the senate.
Representative sherman, chairman Of the

vor OF granting the prayer that an investi-
cation be made. He is OF the opinion that
as the Catholic church has made large ex-
penditures for Indian education in the erec-
ton Of buildings. etc., 1t is fair that con-
gresS should know the exact condition OF
things. Mr.. Sherman said today that he
would probably take some action to bring
