The dainty scarfs and hoods appeal

This winter there is a new departure
In fur hats. Quite few are made
with wide brims. This style Is par
ticularly becoming to young girls who
as a rule look too matronly in the tur-
bans and small fur hats. The illustra-
ton shows one Of the latest things In

bonnet, illustrated by the New York
Herald In connection with this de-
scription of evening hoods and wraps,
is of lace striped pale blue silk, the
hood and cape cut together and fitting
the head loosely. 1t is lined with blue
silk of some soft weave, and all around
the outside edge of both the hood and
cape is a full plated ruffie Of lace edg-
ed chiffon. A jaunty bow Of blue rib
bon is fastened on the right side Of the
top, and the hood is tied with broad
sashes Of chiffon with ruffied edges.
Another style of hood is one that
looks like large puff Of soft striped
silk lightly wadded and lined with a
plain color. The front edge turns back,
showing the lining, and at either side
are knots and long, broad sashes OF the
plain silk. The style is quaint and
pretty, but not nearly so practical as
one with cape attached.
The lovely little evening capes and
colIarettes are fascinating In the ex-
IRENE and are convenient to use when
larger wraps are too clumsy. One very
pretty design is of shirred mousseline,
with rather high collar. Around the
edge of the cape are two deep accor-
dion plated ruffies. one trif1e shorter
than the other and both finished with
an edging of black French lace. The
long stole ends are Of the same plat
ing. with several rows Of the lace across
the bottom.
Perhaps the oldest and prettiest cape
is the one made Of pale pink chiffon,
put on in shi:red petal shape, the whole
thing like one huge crush rose. When
worn, the head forms the center Of the
flower.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS REGARDING
THE MAKING OF SKIRTS.

Designs For Five Different STYLES
and How They Should BE Cut-Cfr-
cular, Gore and Flare skirts-The
Completed Garment.
Copyright 1901. by American Press Association
There are three distinct styles of
skirts for this season and several
others which are based upon these
three models, but made different by
some change Of trimming or other mi
nor arrangement, The first Is the circu-
lar; the second is the plain seven gored,
which has been the standard for SO
many years that It Is scarcely neces-
sary to speak Of 1t more than to say
that it forms the basis Of some of the
prettiest of the seasons gowns. 1t is
particularly well adapted to any suit
where iounces or other full trimming
is to be added. And fiounces are to be
very popular on thin dresses. The
seven gore skirt is the best model
where economy in material Is con-
cerned, when the material is such that
there Is no up or down. In that case
1t can be cut III what the manufac-
turers call "close lay" This means
that the breadths are cut by laying the
pattern on the stuff, up and down and
any way so that there is no waste.
The third is a skirt which has after
a long effort at last gained favor. This
Is the seven gore fare skirt. Some call
it sheath. 1t fits the wearer closely at
the top and flares widely at the bottom
This skirt can hardly be called an eco
nomical one. as the flare at the bottom
takes up much cloth, even when there
is no nap. TO cut this skirt it is well
to lay the cloth doubled on q long
table and try to get two double parts
out Of each width of cloth. Beginning
with Fig. 1, the first piece is cut from
the straight double and is 10 inches

Ex-circuit clerk Stewart Atcheson
was in to see us Friday and from him
we learned that he had sold his fine
farm, containing 240 acres, in Sum
NIT township, to Judge Booker Pow
ell and son, B. ?. Powell. The price
paid was $4,000 cash. This land is
located about 6 or Z miles due east
OF Butler and is better known as the
Peter Kaune farm. The farm has
fine improvements and was certainly
a bargain at that price. B. p. Powell
will take possession of it and make
it his home. Mr.. Atcheson talks of
going to Oklahoma.
The Ind annual exhibition of the
Poultry and Pet Stock Association
bids fair to eclipse all former efforts

The president and secretary have re-

catalogues and other information

other counties. The Border Tele.
phone, in commenting upon thecom.

age these meetings by attending.
They are profitable in many ways
and will bear good fruit in future
years" Purchase season tickets
