with blue-white satin. Tinted grebe is
much used though it isn't very pretty,
but black grebe is very useful. This
feather does not take dust or soil easily
and it may be cleaned with soap, water

Hats III which draped velvet is the
CHIEF characteristic are many. Two APP

ored panne velvet trimmed in front
with three black plumes, which were
arranged in a way that is unusual this
season. The other hat had high black
felt crown and a draped brim of hum
ter's green velvet On the right side
was gray and white bird. Hats with
extended brim are but small minoIi-
ty, though some lovely ones with the
down curve Of the Salvation Army bon
net are shown, the brim being faced
with chiffon laid i'll, soft folds. Little
brimmed hats of corded taffeta are
shown in bright blue, bright rose color
black and white. Now and then there
is one in pastel green. Such are trim
med with one big bunch of flowers or
wheel of fur. They have rather an
unfinished look, but are safely stylish.
Hats of chiffon in rose color are laid
in even folds round and round are trim
med with wheel of black velvet, and
many OF them are worn.

GRANDMA'S CAT STORY.

The family group was speaking of
cats and their ways, and the peaceful
looking grandmother was asked to say
something.
The old lady smiled, for she is not
often sighted when in the company of
younger people, and consented to tell
a story about a kitten she had when she
was child.
"You know" she said, IT had a step
father and he liked to see me working
about the house instead of playing with
a kitten, so he ordered me to throw it in
the brook which ran through our mead
ow.
II was forced to do it, though / cried
a great deal l threw it in three times,
but the little thing struggled out each
time and finally dragged itself home
after me. Then l pleaded so much that
I was allowed to keep it.
From that time on it was kind Of
Wild not staying in the house, but
skulling around the barn. When It was
full grown it began to kill our chickens,
so my stepfather said it had to go.
This time be caught it and tied stone
around it and drowned it. After an
hour or two he drew it from the water
and buried it.
Now comes the part that is stranger
than fiction. Two days after the same
old yellow cat dragged itself up to the
barn. We visited the place where we
had buried it and found it had come
to life and rid itself of the stone, in
what way l know not. aud dug itself
out. -

THE HAPPY NEw YEAR.

The going out Of the old year was a
very cool proceeding but let us not look
backward lest we be turned into pillars
Of ice. Let us look forward into the
New Year, which is going to be the best
year yet-the year which is going to see
our hopes fulfilled. our ambitions graf
fled and our faith in men and things
justified and rewarded. Happy New
Year, in spite of all experience and all
gloomy presentiments founded on expe-
rience. Time enough to think and say
differently when it has become unhappy.
Like the prisoner on trial who is pre-
summed to be innocent until his guilt is
proven, so the New Year must be called
Happy until 1t shows itself to be some
thing else. That it may not show itself
to be anything else Is the hope and the
wish of all well-dsposed people
A Happy New Year to all the readers
Of the Journal and Courier. And for
goodness sake don't get excited over
the new century 1t will not begin I'M
til the beginning of next year, and per-
haps by that time all the good and the
great and all the intelligent will under
stand why.
