THE NEW MILLINERY.
Decided Crowns and Ostrich Plunes
Gaiore-SmaIl Turbans.

Decided Crowns and Ostrich Piunes
Gaiore-smaIl Turbans.
Autumn millinery creations show
very decided crowns and rather broad.
faring brims. The fancy for wearing
the hat well forward. tipped over the
brow, remains popular. and when the
hair is properly arranged-high at the
back so as to support the hat without
the addition of a cachepeigne-the ef-
feet Is smart and generally becoming.
For wear with the tailor costume and
walking dress the small turban severe
ly trimmed will be good style, but the
large hat will be the correct mode for
occasions when very dressy toilets are
displayed.
A conspicuous note in the autumn
models is the lavish use OF plumes.
The new shapes require some soften
ing, and no other trimming gives this
effect like the graceful ostrich feath-
er, which, by the way, has this season
taken all kinds of twists and turns.
An effective arrangement is to have
the plumes round and roll over on the
hat.
There is a suggestion of the long ago
fayorite walking hat in a new model
of glossy black beaver felt. A soft
drapery Of black silk encircles the high
crown and directly In front Is placed q
square buckle Of dull silver studded
with brilliants. Failing over the LETT
side and back are two black ostrich
plumes the tips resting on the hair.
This smart hat is a charming accom-
paniment to the tailor costume. An
effective note may be achieved by US
ing plumes in the deep American
Beauty shade instead Of those OF black.
and an equally modish arrangement Is
to have the hat of white beaver with
black trimmings.
All shades of brown are fashionable,
but the newest hue Is termed les
feuilles mortes, or dead leaves. When
lighted up with a touch Of red, blue or
green It suggests rich autumn foliage.
Gray, too, is much in evidence and
In many odd combinations. One hat OF
dark purple felt bent into artistic
shape had a huge red rose with a bit
of foliage adjusted against the crown
near the front, while two other roses
of the same size and color were ar
ranged at the back against the fiaring
brim. This model was intended to ac-
company a dressy gown Of purple
cloth In which the note Of red was re-
peated in the embroidered trimming.
Tucked and corded taffeta Is used to
fashion some Of the smartest street
hats Of the season. The tricorne and
French sailor are the shapes In high
est favor Wings, quilts and ribbon
are the trimmings employed. A hat OF
unusual style is made of dark red taf-
feta, crossed tucked and over a tri-
corne shape. A soft fold Of the silk
encircles the crown, and at the left
side, against the fiaring brim, there are
two large dark red wings that are tip
ped with black, while on top Of the hat
at the left side there is another red
wing.-Delineator.

THE DoowooD SPRINo.-While In
Gaffney one day last week we had the
pleasure of visiting the traditional
Dogwood Spring spoken Of by Horse
shoe Robinson. 1t is located In the
suburbs of the city, not far from where
Mr.. Dick Thomson once lived, and near
the road leading to the home Of Mr..
w. G. Austell. There is no doubt but
that 1t is the Identical place where the
capture and perhaps the death Of
Horseshoe and his companions. was
planned to take place during the Rev
olutionary struggle. Gaffney Is struiy
an historic town or rather surrounded

anything that could be construed into

we should express that disapprobation;

we express moral reprobation let US be

ART SCHOOL MEN FAIRLY WARNED.
So Declares J. C. Nicoll-Union Scheme Not
Railroaded, He Says.

J. c. Nicoll a member Of the council Of the Ma
rional Academy OF Design, told a Tribune reporter
last evening that despite the attacks of J. Carroll
Beckwith. J. G. Brown, J. Allen Weir. Professor
John F. Weir and others, on the plan OF President
Butler to transfer the schools of the academy to
Columbia University, he believed the scheme would
be consumnated sooner or later. He thought these
criticisms. instead of preventing it, might rather
have beneficial effect in causing the plan to be
more carefully considered.
Mr. Ncoll could not conceive of the council COM
ing TO a unanimous conclusion this subject
unless 1t thought the scheme was one that would
greatly benefit art in general. without in any way
jeopardizng any of the interests Of the academy.
Mr.. Nicon said:
They talk Of railroading the plan through! But
the train was well advertised beforehand, and the
men who did possess sufficient interest in the
academy to attend the annual meeting certainly
ought not to complain that their votes We're not
counted. 1t TO unfair 20 oppose violently
a project to which the council has given so much
time and thought.
This is an attempt to establish q large and thor
ough school. 1t will be for the benefit of the
lance than the preservation in its present
shape of any particular school TO which we
personally attached. II would be very unfortunate
to have the practical methods which prevail in the
best art schools swallowed up IN any purely aCa7
demic method. but l understand il Columbia
