SOME FADs or lie SEASON.
Feminine Fancies That Crop Out in
the Costumes Of Up-to-Date
Dressers.

One of the pretty fads of fashion is
the fiat chou of ribbon with a paste
buckle In the middle of it, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
Another fad Is the windmill bow, with
b fancy rhinestone button sewed in the
middle.
Still another fancy is a metal button,
with a little frill of lace set around it.
And there is also a ribbon chou, which
has wings like butterfly wings. with a
long. slender pin fastened in the middle
TO represent the body of the butterfly.
The covering of button molds may
make a very fascinating and wholly use
lful pastime for the woman who is in
genious. Button molds are covered with
japanese silk and are then touched up
with water colors. Water color designs
are seen upon many of them to make
the coloTs more vivid.
Button molds are covered with velvet
and these are set in the center of lace
knots with lace tabs hanging from the
lace knot. And there are molds that
are covered with bFight's silk, with lace
sewed owe the silk.
Lovely ornaments are to be worn this
lspring, made of cotton. There are hang
ing balls and cotton loopings and all
sorts Of cotton ~braidings. These braids
are put on by hand In the old-fashioned
way, in little twirls, just as one braided
ones gowns years ago.. The narrow
white and colored braids are used and
the designs are distributed over skirt
panels, over Jokes and over the. caps
and the cuffs and sleeves.
AS this is a season of ornaments one
must not forget the little rosettes of
lawn and of linen which are so plenti-
fully used to trim the summer dresses.
These are made of long strips of linen,
doubled and shirred. The string is
pulled up until a rosette is formed.
Every woman knows how to make these
rosettes. They are used in place of rib
bon choux for trimming wash dresses.
They are placed upon the cuffs, upon the
belt, the stock and upon the yoke.
The size varies from the button rosette
for the stock to the rosette as big as
a saucer, which is placed upon the side
| breadth of the skirt. This is vastly
| cheaper and much more durable than
ribbon.

AFFAIRS ABOUT THE HOUSE.
| Ornamental Details That Lend At
Effectiveness to the Interior
Of the Home.

A comparative novelty in portieres is
one made of denim with a border Of ap-
plique leather.
Curtains of Arabian and Cluny lace re-
tain the prestige which they have en-
joyed for some time past, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
In curtains the leader is the flet Itali-
enne, a handsome drapery, the cost of
which puts 1t beyond the reach of any
but the most wealthy householders.
A pretty fancy in the form of a bon.
bon dish is a Japanese design in bisquc
or porcelain, representing a young girl
carrying a basket in either hand. Each
of the receptacles Is filed with bon
bons.
A new kind of orange Knife has made
its appearance this spring. 1t has a
hook or barb at the end of the back of
the blade which prevents its penetrat-
ing beyond a certain depth of the rind,
which is o easily removed than with
the ordinary knife. The reverse side
of this knife is a regular blade.
Recent importations of Dutch pottery
are extremely artistic and in a variety Of
shades of brown and gray in plain tones
and combinations. Quaint Dutch land
,scapes and figures decorate the various
articles, the majority of which are odd
in shape and come invaried sizes.
Where closet DON is at a premium
and what woman In these days Of
cramped houses and elaborate ward
robes ever has enough closet room?-
it is a good plan to have a pole arranged
in the clothes closet, right down the CEN
ter, the ends resting in sockets, the same
as are used for curtain poles. If the
closet be of any length whatever, a mum
Der of dresses, coats, waists and skirts
may be supported on this pole by mean
of coat hangers. If the ordinary style
of hanger is used, a separate one Is re-
quired for each waist and skirt, but there
are improved types, which easily accom-
modate both skirt and waist. In such a
closet it is easy to keep the clothes in
good condition and also an easy matter
to find any particular garment.

The Hospital Room.

Seldom is there a room in the house
suitable for the sick. After two expert
ehces with sick children, fixed one OF
the chambers into a hospital room. The
walls are hung with plain tinted paper,
the woodwork painted white, and the
floor vanished the shade of the walls.
The bed is placed to give a good view
out of the window for the convalescing
child. and when necessary the shades
are drawn. At the bedside stands a small
table. and opposite is the linen chest and
medicine drawer. Below the footboard
is the commode. Rugs are laid for the
sick to step on.-Orange Judd Farmer.

croaking voice of the pool seller
/ DINING in your ears. and a country
band with tin horns lambasting the
ali.
No wonder that sort of Fair played
out. The Herald pIophecied fifteen
years ago that it would play out. And
because of our war upon the fake
side shows and the pool sellers. the
Herald was roundly abused for dis
loyalty to Maury county institutions
As il fake side shows and gambling
were Maury county institutions. That
is a DEPRESSION CT course, but we could
not resist reminding some of ouI
readers that the Herald is not always
wrong; 1t is sometimes just little
ahead of them in forecasting future
events.
The present management deserve all
credit fOr taking the Fair out of the
old rut and placing it upon higher
plane They refused any number and
all kinds of bids for privileges. Money
could not buy them. ''Our money
was not as good as 'anybody's
money. Dirty show money could not
buy space from them. The management
said, I'VE are going to invite our
friends to this Fair and Stock Show,
and we expect them to come: and
when they come we do not intend to
feel ashamed or have TO apologize for
anything on these grounds. We are
not out for the stuff, nearly so much
as we are to have good time and
build up the best Interests of Maury
county.
You see the result. 1t il an honor to
the management, credit to the
county. pleasure to the people, and
a great advertisement for all Middle
Tennessee.
Thursday night after you had gone to
bed and we're asleep, men were walking
the streets offering almost any price for
a place TO lie down and sleep. A cot, a
pallet, anything anywhere to cover them
from the cool night air and rest them
selves, The hotels we're crowded to the !
utmost. The boys at Bachelors Home |
doubled up and took care IF as many of
their country friends as they could,
but withal some strangers had not |
where to lay their heads. We are sorry |
Of that. If it had been known, private
homes would have been open to them.
But it shows what crowd was here to
attend the Stock Show.
And they were we'll paid for their
coming. 1t was splendid program
and the rings we're all full.

Ends Friday Night In a Blaze of
Glory.
Was the Biggest and Best Perhaps Ever
Held In the State.
SUGGESTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR.

The greatest Fair in the history o.
Maury County, the greatest Fair in tn,
history of this Congressional district
the greatest perhaps. in the history Of
Middle Tennessee, possibly the
greatest ever held in the State. came
70 close Friday night in a blaze OF
glory.
Conversation was all about the Fair,
and everybody was singing its praises
| and showeTing compliments upon
President Fry and Secretary Villa ms.
Nobody was cr1ticisIng, everybody
was suggesting for next year. First,
thew said. we must have this same
band, with its full membership; only
half of the band-the First Regiment
Band OF Cincinnati-were here. Next
year we want them all
Next year the judges stand must be
moved 1t is all right for the judges
and clerks and drivers where it is. but
it is IN the worst possible place for the
audience Nobody IN the boxes TO
the right, nobody in the reserved
seats, can see the finish to the races
with the grand stand where it is. 1t
must be moved, but where to Is hard
question.
One of the several very intelligent,
observant and experienced drivers.
suggested that the judges stand should
be practically on level with the
boxes; raised two or three feet, per-
haps. He said the best way to judge
close finish was to be ON level with
the horses. That suggestion, we
think, is worth considering.
And in connection with that. this
one; that the roof he extended
over the boxes. That should be
done, anyway. We cannot hope
for such ideal weather as we had this
year, and the boxes must be protected
from the rain and sun. Then, why
not have the entrance to the boxes at
the gate where they were allowed to
80 out? We do not see the necessity
Of pushing ones way through u
crowded grand stand, up and down
steps, when the salary of one gate
keeper would accommodate three hun
bred people or more. And in order to
relieve themselves of the worry OF the
detail management of the boxes. 1t
would not be had idea to sell the boxs
in bunch to the highest bidder.
The purchaser then to sell by the
season or by the night, or one chair
Or two chairs In box: and he could
charge more for some boxes than for
others, according to location. The
Herald will offer the Association, right |
now, ten per cent raise over what |
they got this year, for the box prlvi-
lege next year.
Another Improvement would be to
nave the entrance to the reserved seats
tle same gate as the box entrance, and
chairs the same as in the boxes Cush-
IONS are very nice but most people would
prefer back rest, and the chairs would
pay for themselves in one day. /
These are suggestions, merely, not !
for whatever the management
may have done or left undone, the grand
success of the meet defends them against
all criticism.

TWO kFcoRps sMAsHEp

The event of Thursday was the race
of Dorothy Redmond against time to
break the Southern half mile track
record, established by herself several
weeks ago at MurfreesboIo. She made
the new record there, ALBA, and
MurfIeesboIo people were delighted
that they had the fastest half mile
track in the South; but their satIsfac-
tion was short lived. for the game little
mare yesterday clipped one and half
seconds from the 2 :13& and established
new record, having made the mile
without skip in 2:124. When the
time was announced the five thous-
and people in the grand stand and on
the grounds went wild with enthus-
iasm and threw up their hats and
yelled like comanches. JnO. L. King,
who drove the mare, was delighted
with her performance, which is a re-
maIkable one for half mile track.
The mare belongs to the Ketcham
Farm, of Toledo. Ohio, and has q
mark of 2:10 Dorothy broke two
records in her performance here the
local track record of 2:161a. made py
Rockbotton in 1891, and tle Southern
half mile track record. Mr.. Ketcham
drove the mare himself at Murfrees
boro, and thinks he can drive her faster
than anybody; Mr.. King is greatly
pleased therefore that the mare should
