NOTES ON THE FASHIONS.
Linen Parasols Go with Palmer Shirt
Waist Suits and Lingerie
Styles Harmonic.

The most fascinating hats and para
soils have come out, seemingly planned
and made to go together, yet in reali-
ty happening upon that effect in nine
cases out of ten.
Lingerie styles are responsible for
much of 1.-THE whole wide range of
lingerie ideas echoed and reechoed In
the parasols; in fainter, though no
less exquisite, tone in hats. Some one
has glibly prophesled the passing OF
the fluffy parasol, claiming that in
stead will be carried the palmer types.
Yet lingerie dresses grow more pop
ular all the while, and rufties are
piled upon rufies, Seemingly without
end. That prophecy is bound TO be
wrong, for, so long as the summer
girl holds court dressed In the sheer
est, softest of gowns, which pillows
and froths about her, just so long will
she, in spite of fashions dictums,
twirl, in lieu of a scepter, the ARREST,
most useless, but wonderfully pictur-
esque and becoming parasol.
Those palmer styles will be car
ried more than the fluffy ones without
a doubt-just as shirt-waist suits and
the many attractive models of linen
suits are more in evidence in sun
times than those billowy, beruftied,
beribboned things. But each will
have its place and each will be car
ried-you might almost say worn
with the sort of gown it best suits.
And hats of linen and of linen
and lace will go with them.
For the plainest shirt-waist suits
the prettiest linen parasol is made,
plain except for a rather large motif
embroidered in each panel. Or per-
haps in only one, with the initials
cunningly interwoven, SO as not to
be too c~onspicuously plain to any
one-more in the nature of those
clever seals which look like an old
eastern charm, but which are real
ly the three initials made into a
cabalistic sign.
Eyelet work holds its W in the
parasol world, and insertions of lace
are even more popular than ever,
both cluny and Irish lace used in
lavish profusion.-Chicago Record.

SAVED BY FAITHFUL HORSE
Monster Catamount Is Lassoed and

Fight When captor Tries to
Cut It's Throat.

Medora. N. D.-John Hinkins, a
cowboy, is in the hospital at The Lazy
l." ranch, IA miles east of Sentinel
Butte, in a badly used-up condition as
a result of a strenuous encounter with
a catamount. His face is badly claw
ed and across his chest is a deep
cash made by the sharp nails OF the
animal. While his wounds are of a
serious nature, it is expected that he
will recover.
Hinkins had been sent to look up a
remuda of horses that were needed
for use in the spring roundup. He To-
Gated their range near the Little Mis-
souri,, but for some time was unable
to come up with the band, which
seemed to be unusually wild. He fol-
lowed them all of one day, and finally
succeeded in rounding them up in a
coulee a short distance from the river.
Here he decided to camp for the
night, intending to starr the horses
ranchward in the morning. Hinkins
was aroused during the night by the
wild neighing Of the animals and
started to investigate. He found the
horses in a wild panic, the cause of
which he soon discovered when he
came upon the dead body of a young
stallion on which crouched a large
panther. Hinkins emptIed his re-
volver at the animal, but if he sue
ceeded in hitting 1t the bullets made
no other impression than to make it
snarl anerily and retreat slowly.
Hinkins did not pursue the chase,
devoting his time to quieting the
horses, but the next morning he de-
cided to follow the trail of the cata-
mount and to have at least another
shot at it. Early in the morning he
mounted his horse and set out in pur-
suit of the panther, having little diff
ficulty in following its trail, drops Of
blood indicating that some of the
shots he had fired at it the night be-
fore had taken effect
Just at the edge ofsthe wood he dis
covered the beast. in a %crouching at
titude. There was scarcely light
enough to secure perfect aim with
his revolver, and HiHkins decided to
attempt to rope" the panther. He
swung his lariat and being an ex-
pert with the rope, Succeeded in land
ing the moose about the beasts neck.
Instantly he turned his horse, gave it
a sharp dig with his spurs, and the
pinto set off at a galiop down the trail
dragging the panther at the end of
the rope, despite its efforts to regain
its feet After dragging the beast
half a mile or more Hinkins concluded
that 1t had been choked to death. He
stopped his horse, alighted and went
back to cut the beasts throat. The
panther, however, as soon as it felt
the rope e%slacken, leaped to Its feet,
wild with rage, and made a bound in
the direction Of Hinkins. He fired

WHEN HANGING PICTURES.

Study suitability Of. subjects when
assigning pictures to their position,
as a picture that is suitable in one
room may be entirely out of keeping
with the general character and pnr-
pose OF another.
Do not crowd pictures. Too few are
preferable to too many, and plair
spaces are restful in their effect.
Oil paintings, water colors, and line
drawings show the artists work and
what he mean to depict much better

tilted.
Never hang a glossy picture opposite
a window, and never hang any picture
so high that 1t is hard to look at.
Do not hang pictures in pairs, and
do not hang two from one hook If the
wire on both shows-the oblique lines
made by the two wires are very OBJ
jectionable.
A picture which shows heavy shad-
