Winneshiek County Fair at DEBORAH,
Iowa, August zS-a0-3o-3I, 1000.

Iowa, August 2S-20-3o-3I, 1000.
The Bicketts, the greatest travelling
attraction in the U. s., will be at the
Winneshiek County Fair.
Record, the great bicyclist, will give
exhibitions every day at the Winnie
shiek County Fair.
The fine stock breeders have prom
ised larger exhibitions of stock than
ever before.
The speed program under the aus
pices of the North Eastern Circuit
promises us as good races as there will
be at any fair in Iowa.
The premium list for the agricultural
and floral departments invites full en-
tries in those departments.
All can safely say, when all is sum-
med up, that in the attractions, excell-
ence of exhibits, closely contested races
and all that goes to make up a first
class fair, the Winneshiek County Fair
will be excelled by none in Iowa.
Below see what others think of the

The Newsiest Kind of a Newspaper.

Or course, every man should be q
subscriber and reader of his home
paper No community would long re-
main in peace and harmony that
ignored this simple rule of life. But
there are other papers. 1t is about one
of these that we feel like saying a
kindly word, not because it needs it,
but because it may be of benefit to
some of our readers.
There is now being published at Min
neapolls newspaper called the 1ri-
bune. Nearly everybody in the North
west has heard about it. But there are
many to whom YEARS subscription
would be like years schooling;. and
it is for these and others, too, who
would be benefited by its perusal that
we wish to point out some of its excel
lent qualities
The Tribune is one of the newsy
kind of newspapers. The kind that
covers the range of the worlds events
promptly, interestingly and with suf-
ficient bievity to enable the busy man
and woman to read it and still do a
days work. The Tribune during the
past two years covered the Philippine
war and the South African war so fully,
yet so perspicaciously that it left
nothing lacking.

two natives hold the garment in hand

FRILLS OF SPRING FASHION.

Pale shades of gray and biege color
are the tints in dress gloves and are
quite as much worn as white.
The new foulard silks in pastel
Icolors blended charmingly in the cash
mere designs must be seen to be APP
preciated.
Imitation diamond buckles are a
very conspicuous feature OF dress trim
mings. and other pretty buckles are OF
|enameled flowers.
Russian lace in heavy quality and
fine Venetian laces are very much en-
ployed for trimming handsome cloth
gowns in the pastel coiors.
All the talk about the advent OF car
rings seems at last to have brought
some results and the ultra fashionable
are redeeming the fashion writer's rep
utation for accuracy by wearing the
real things. Not the little screw ear
ring which never has been quite dis
carded but the drop earrings with
round gem at the top and pear-shaped
one below this.
The question of headgear this season
seems to be summed up in fur hats or
hats trimmed with fur, since they are
so generally worn that other kinds do
not count for much. Sable hats are
the most elegant. becoming and expen-
sive, of course. Very pretty hats are
made OF chincila with velvet crowns.
and every grade Of mink between the
best and the scrubbiest tag end -four
ishes In the millinery department. The
craze is so great, too. that very poor
specimens are sold at high prices. and
one unfortunate feature about them Ia
that they are worn at all times and
with any costume without any regard
for the fitness OF things.
White cloth Is being made up into
very handsome costumes for Riviera;
in fact, white, pale gray, biscuit tlnts
and pastel blue are the shades which
prevail among the clothes and crepes

front and hoped across with white

i The question OF suitable wells for the
fur hats is important and was consid-
cred very seriously early in the season,
and with very effective results Pari-
sian women are more than fastidious
about the becoming effect of a veil as
they are about all the little accessories
of dress. and it must harmonic with
the hat as we'll or il is not a success.
For the chinchilla hats there are chin
chilla wells in soft white net with
irregular lines of black running
through 1t softening and blending the
two. This kind of veil has the APP
pearance of being double. yet it is not
double, and it is wonderfully booming.
The problem of finding a veil moro
suitable than black or white, for the
sable hats was puzzle, but the French
designers never faN in little matters
OF dress so the beige veil was brought
out and proved to be one of the most
attractive things In yelling. It Is a
double veil, but so thin and TRANSPARENT
that 1t scarcely seems like a veil
Brown except in chiffon Is rarely be-
coming, and the beige color Is happy
medium between white and brown
IL is astonishing how many women buy
Vegs without any thought of the effect
on the complexion beyond that which
the big black dots can give. The
mesh and color are more important
| than the size of the spots and women
OF certain or rather uncertain are have
learned that white is much more be-
coming in the right kind of veil than
any other color, not excepting black.
White softens rather than hardens the
lines of the face Here it is that the
double wells finds ready market. A
pain or fancy black mesh is chosen.
and under this is white maline. Pale
colors are sometimes used instead OF
white for the under VEIL but white is
usually the most becoming. The two
wells are held together by black dots OF
velvet or chenille, the former being the
preference as velvet Is much richer and
more becoming. The real novelty OF
the season, however, is the double veil
OF finest tulle. the under one OF white,
and the pin dots of chenille, which hold
them together. are far apart This
sort of veil Is worn with all colors and
kinds OF hats.
