Louisiana State Flower.

The women of Louisiana have Sc
lected the magnolia as the State flow
or because of its beauty as well as the
fact that it belongs peculiarly to that
State, growing in her forests TO great
height. The charm of the flower Is
well known, but only those who have
seen it in its native State can realize
the splendor of the tree, with its large,
satiny leaves and graceful form. The
magnolia begins to flower in the early
spring and continues to bloom luXu
rlantly until the end of summer. The
old French mansions frequently have
long avenues of magnolias leading TO
them, but later residents object to
them as lawn trees on account of their
copious shedding of leaves all through
the year.

1t is predicted that the commingling
of different peltry will be one of the
distinctive features of the winter.
Given plenty of scope and ready APP
probation, this craze will more than
likely run to extreme eXaggeration,
when not one or two or three, but five
and six different kinds of furs will be
blended together in one clever whole.
AS to the success of such a departure
time alone will tell. Applied fur will
assuredly be an approved fancy. Fur
riers are simply craving to exhibit
their manipulative skill and prove to
us their undaunted prowess with knife
and needle. And since applications OF
all sorts, kinds and conditions are dear
10 u.s. it is more than likely that we
shall be ready and willing to be mold
ed to the will of the adopts in the
furry world.

The Golden Girdlc.

Belts and girdles of gold braid are
snowy and vulgar looking or handsome
and artistic in the extreme, according
to the shop and the price. Nothing is
less smart than Il bent and furnished
gold belt, with cheap brass buckle,
worn with II costume which is unsuita-
bic for such an ornament. a gold belt
that has distinction and beauty costs
II pretty penny in these glittering
days, but it is worth it. For example:
A broad ceinture is formed by Il band
of heavy, closely woven gold cloth,
cleaning darkly and richly. 1t is bor-
dered by bands of velvet, about half
its own width, the upper one of black
velvet, the lower one of coral pink.
The buckle is of enamel and jewels
and on either side of it the. belt is
adorned by light appliQues of lace

Vegetable Fibre Felts.

Writing of the manufacture of felt
a. Balada, of Bella, Italy, says that
Il new process has been discovered
which has for its object the treatment
OF vegetable fibres so as to render
them capable of being employed for
the manufacture of felt. The vegeta-
bic fibres more especially adapted for
the purposes OF this invention are IL
kind of silky down, known in trade
under the name of kapok, and the veg
etablc iibres known as "ceiba." The
vegetable tibres are rendered capable
of felting by submitting them (after
first thoroughly cleansing them to
chemical treatment having such an ac-
ton upon them as to disintegrate or
roughen the outer part thereof and rem
der them capable of felting. This ac-
ton is effected by means of baths, the
first of which contains mercury in So
luton. The second bath contains chro.
mic acid, and is made from substances
capable of developing such acids, such.
for Instance, as blchromate of potash,
from which chronic acid can be devel-
oped by sulphuric acid. 70 this bath
may he added other substances pos
sessing properties such rs fit them to
cooperate to improve the felting quail
lties of the fibre, such, for instance,
as gallic acid nitric acid. chlorhydric
acid, and their compounds or deriva-
tives. In conjunction with these acids
there may be employed tannin or enocl-
anime (the coloring matter of wine) or
Sulphate of copper or of iron, or their
components or derivatives. Textile

BY THE STREAM.

The sunlight steals between the leaves
And hickers on the stream;
The little minnows dart about
Like shadows in dream.
Beyond the shade the clover.fcld
Is quivering with the heat.
But here the water ripples cool
About the children's feet.
The leaves stir softly overhead;
The shadows verge toward noon
And they will have to leave their play
And go to dinner soon.

Lnce Work For Women.

In all the foremost countries of the
world, except the United States, the
manufacture of hand-lace is encour-
aged as source of social good, and
the ambition of the needlewomen en-
gagged upon it is stimulated by the ap-
probation and avowed patronage of
the rich, says Ada Sterling in the At
lantic. American women display
sharp acumen in selecting the best eX-
amples Of handwork abroad, paying
high prices TO middle men. and, added
to this, the regular duties, or tariff,
but the advisability, not to say, neces,
slty, of transplanting this home indus
try to this side of the water and here
protecting it seems not to have oc-
curred to them. Nevertheless, no ma
ton needs more to provide an inter
estlng and quieting occupation for its
working-women than does this one.
Here is distinct and untrodden field
for the women who are now deyoting
themselves indeterminately to the So
termed amelloration of the condition
Of their sex, especially the poor among
them. Once the enterprise is thought
fully entered upon, 1t is not to be con-
jectured that Congress will refuse ad.

but certain kinds of floral garnltures
will receive attention. Thus far, how
ever, the varieties have been confined
to roses and autumn tinted rose leaves.
The roses are large, often great, mag
nifled blossoms from six to seven
inches in diameter, some of them wide
open, with full cluster of golden sta
mems in the centre. They are unusu-

a new cycling and automobile hat
for the winter which comes from
Paris, Is made ON the same lines as the
pique and linen summer hats-stltched
all over in close, set rows. The new
hats are made chiefly in dark blue and
dark brown, and are trimmed with
short quills or breasts.
Felt will be much used for smart
millinery, though not so much as vel
vet, and in some cases the soft. low
crowns of toques, with narrow, rolled
brlms of black tulle richly spangled,
are of pale pink, blue or mauve long
haired felt A particular shade of
pinkish mauve Is much affected for
felt. A hat with a slightly waved
brim of black velvet has full crown
in this mauve felt, drawn up at the
top through a jet buckle. The trim
ming consists of bunch of satin roses
in several shades of the same color.
There is no doubt but that black
hats and toques will enjoy immense
favor, and also mixtures of black and
color or black and white. Black che
nile and floss silk cord, interviewer,
form the upturned brim of round
toque, with Il cerlse velvet crown,
This crown is low and wide, and the
velvet on the top is finely tucked in

ally to its base. On one side is
plume composed of small cocks feath-
