A WHITE FEATHER FRENZY
OSTRICH FARMERS ARE ENJOYING A
BOOMING BUSINESS NOW.
The Cxarina Started the Fashion and
Now the Feminine World
is Mad Over IL.
Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The very longest ostrich feather IN MIL
lnery records came across the ocean the
other day In q carefully sealed tin tube
IL was white plume OF unique fullnesa
OF filaments and IL was fastened to the
brim of black velvet hat worn by a rich
woman at the New York horse show. The
ostrich who originally wore 1t was a South
African. and the custom house made q
good thing out Of the plume before the
lady got 1t. Altogether the ostrich formers
have enjoyed boming business this year
and all because the Czarina Of Russia, who
prefers white to colors. wore some very
splendid South African feathers in her hats
last summer when she visited France. The
Partisan modistes, always on the alert for
Ideas. heard about the empress feathers
ana they have done their patriotic little
best TO cement the Franco-Russian ties by
buying up all the white ostrich feathers
they could find and introducing the grace
full chapeau imperatrice.
AT this moment a lively struggle is going
on among the women to see who can own
for, saving and excepting an occasional
baby blue feather. those of an immaculate
and wondrous whiteness have the advances
all around in popularity.
The Longest of All.
The record breaker that made its debut
at the New York horse show was allowed
to be one yard one inch and three-quarters
In length. 1t circled the outside edge OF Q
very wide-brimmed black velvet hat ana
Tapped over, and the owner is not willing
to say what she paid for 1t. However, the
n1lllners viii show you piumes ranging In
price from fifteen to nifty dollars apiece,
and in length from eighteen to twentyS
eight inches: and they say that the demand
for these white feathers is far greater than
the supply.
The white feather frenzy is like the
gold galloon fever of last winter-it 10 q
one-season fad, but at the moment no wo-
man is entirely satisfied with her wardrobe
unless ii numbers atleast one plume wreath.

sions; for ceremOnious luncheOns, weddings
and wedding receptions and for the thester.
AT the late New York horse show thou
sands were counted. The hat that sup
ports one two or, often, as many as three
huge white feathers must be a dignified
structure of black or pale gray velvet, and
touch OF nice white lace and a fine Jew
eled ornament is the only other decoration
the structure needs. There is absolutely no
rule regulating the shape of the hat Itself.
Some of them are broad dropping brimmed
Edgar Ravenswood models. about which
the plumes curl like a light, soft cloud,
others are tip-tilted Devonshires and 9th.

in the last century has any one worn
gauntlet gloves, but at the shops where the
best suede and giace kids are sold a very

glove, with broad flaring cuff, is sold to
many buyers. The undersleeve has forced
the manufacture of the one-button kid, and
one-button kids fairly invite the addition of
the gauntlet cuffs. and gloves with cuffs
are undeniably becoming. The women who
annihilate time and space with their motor
cars began to wear gauntlets Of sealskin.

The French Heel Triumphs.
From gloves to shoes is a natural trans-
ition after looking In the window Of a
fashionable shop where the dress for both
extremities are displayed together. IT'S
sad, but very true. that the French heel is
as firmly fixed in popular esteem as ever.
The fluffy girl. and lots Of other girls, who
ought to reason better, wear heels of abnor-
mai height and of perilous slenderness. The
efforts Of the shoemakers to establish the
Cuban heel have up to this time met with
little encouragement. With nine-tenths Of
the women it is the French heel or the per-
fectly fiat masculine heel, and what your

The holiday crowd at Hillhurst was twice
as big as common-Cleggett, the store
keeper, had put in telephone the week
before, and at least half the folk round
about were In doubt as to whether or no
telephone talk were not all make-believe.
When two or three of the chief skeptics
had actually called up acquaintances in the
country town, and spoken priyily with
them over the wire, doubt was swallowed
up in emulation-every white man in the
crowd, and at least half the blacks. began
to cudgel their brains for a reasonable ex-
cuse to do likewise. Beyond question the
superior airs of those who had telephone
friends or concerns were rather hard to
bear. The fact, though. was scarcely an
excuse for crowding Cleggett away from
his own receiver.
CIeggett was more than reasonably
shrewd. He had known the phone would
draw crowd; hence, he argued trade. 1t
