indispensable to the success of any cha. peau this summer. Is here represented by mere bandeau and narrow one at that, of velvet which goes all the way around the headslze, with just the sug- gestion of lift in the back. Broad white louisine ribbon-a weave that hnds an extreme of popularity this summer-s simply tied around the crown, the loops of the bow standing up slightly over tho crown in the back, and a knot of pink roses tucked In at the base, the blossoms facing forwards. There Is just hint or ribbon trimming under the brim. the bulk of it being more towards the side than the back, and the entire expression of this dainty model Is one of quiet and conservative good taste.
 Some Broad and Flat Styles Take
 Well.
 The Parslan milliner, with his or her and 1t is just about as often a man as woman who relgns as chief designer h the French ateller-constant striving for something different, something radically apart from what competitors are turning out, goes to the other extreme from the current styles, and yet succeeds In making n design that takes well and at once with n critical clientele. Such Is the smart chapeau here depicted. One of the made shapes-thnt Is a wire frame covered with n shirring or lace or tulle or chlnon, lace in this instance-is made with low and broad crown. whose apparent height Is increased by the clever adjustment of wreaths of flowers and foliage at the top, and a ribbon cravat loosely folded around beneath them. The net top of the lace makes the shirred brim. the gulpure and crochet edge shirred tight and making just the least suggestion of founce on the extreme edge of the broad brim. The usual bandeau Is tucked In all around the headsize, with an upward tilt arranged for at the left side and thls filled in with a combination of pink Malmaison roses pale pink velvet ribbon and bluish vioets. The crown Is encrcled with n wreath Of rose foliage at the top. forget-me- -nots be- low that, and the pink Malmaison roses with q seant few vlolets at the side

or 54 inch plume, the end of which may be either two or three thick tnssels of feathers that shall hang well down over the steep cache-peigne at back or side; or else the finish Is three tips, each standing well up at different angle, the extreme end as full and fluffy as well may be. With such delightful effects it Is no won- der that the smart modistes are demand ing anywhere from $50 up-and 1t is chiefly and up-for dressy chapeau
 The uncurled ostrich plume Is making strong bid for favor with the Paris iennes. This Is style that 1t takes a great deal of cleverness and still more care to handle to any sort of good effect At first glance the feather itself Is wont to look damp and bedraggled; and 1t is not until the willy venduens, announces that there is to be some little touch or another added along the quill-it is left unfinished so that this item may be in accord with madames order-that 1t takes on any hint or suggestion of smart ness whatsoever.
 Wings and breasts make a brave show ing where the trimming of the outing or shirtwaist or tailored hat-you can term 1t what you willis concerned. Here straws of all kinds are in vogue, from the coarse, rough and-ready straw to the finest chip and panama.

The Fad for Plants

''There Is an extreme popularity for those dwarf Japanese plants" remarked n Fifth avenue florist the other day. And, by the way, he Is just the one to tell ex- actly what Is In vogue in modish circles and what has been abandoned, since he attends to the floral wants of the so-called Four Hundred.
 'The dwarf frs and pines, which have oftentimes taken as long as 20 years to reach even the small size that Is In vogue just now" he went on, "are in the high est favor with the wealthy who have homes In New York. Here, of necessity, conservative at all. However, since most are more often than not just n projection tbrown out from a bay window, and It were an excess of dignity to call them conservatory at all. However since most of their owners have real, full-sized con- servatores at their country places, per- hnps the term Is not so misplaced after all.
 Little dwarf cacti, foliage plants and small century plants, to say nothing of dwarf orange and lemon trees. arc what are purchased most often. Dwarf tree ferns, too, come in for a share of esteem. and there Is n little dwarf banyan tree, with It's many suckers pendent from the branches to be drawn Into the soil and so make new roots for further banyan trees. that Is at once a curiosity and an orna- ment
 There is a little Jap who has q small country place over on Long Island who makes a speciality of raising these dwarf specimens, and he Is simply doing land office business nowadays. Just what has given this impetus to the dwarf plant and tree business 1t Is hard to tell. Those things come and go like all other fads. But certain 1t is that in the necessarily crowded city home these little things take up but little space and make for the most decorative effect In the smallest space i'm aglnable."

Modes of the Midsummer Fashions in Millinery Become Simpler The Fu6ed Hat Still With Us However The Lingerie Chapeau

for visit to the laundry, and then but toned together again in an instant after the required cleansing.
 From this one to the exquisite one pie tured on this page, wherein q sheer silk multi Is almost as fine as a silk bolt Ing cloth-is cut into semicircular rutfies and edged liberaly with real valenci- ennes, is n far cry, and between the two extremes there are countless models that declare their own charm unmistakably.
 And, 1t is to be noted, that notwlth- standing the furore that the small and perilously tip-tllted chapeau has made for Itself, there are many of the low broad and flat shapes that are quietly being made up for those whose taste does not run to ultra things. The necessary note of the present Is added to those In the shape of q bandeau that tits Itself some- where-usually on the left side-and In the little nook so made there Is quite d mass of trimming punched. Those shapes are undeniably becoming to the large ma Jority of women, and, doubtless, they will more than hold their own when the successes of the season come to be sifted out.
 But perhaps, the most prominent feature of all the hats, regardless of size or classification. Is the widespread vogue of tulle-or, to speak more correctly, of the new malinette. The fact that this flmy fabric has now been made damp proof, without parting with single trace of its insubstantial pageant. has made the milliner use 1t recklessly for all sorts of trimmings. To fill fin the steep, tips tilted cachepeigne, to ruche and rutile Into a frothy plume effect, to tie in cravat fashion around the hat crown and to make fascinating boas and even muffs of it for dressy use, both the milliner and her customer alike have fallen willing victims to It's charms and servlceability.

are wired and undulated prettily, and the flowers are used with a lavish hand Morning glorles, pansies in the full range down through the blues and yellows Into the richest and deepest purple, and with just enough of green foliage to tone In the riot of tints are in high favor Roses, It goes without saying, are in the very forefront of the trimmings, but the latest fad Is to mix them with some of the smaller blossoms, and effecting some lit tie contrast of color as well as variety after this wise.
 The tiniest of white heather forget-me- nots, not an iota larger than the natural blossom, little wild yolets that follow the blue tones rather than the purple, and small moss rosebuds are mixed and mingled with hydrangeas that display the full range of soft and somewhat blurred coloiings that this dainty bloom displays It Is but seldom that the milliner uses one blossom alone--usually it is employed with another of strongly contrasting size and color
 The lingerie hat presents itself under so many guises-and all of them, incl dentally, charming ones-that In it's latest appearance there is not much left to suggest the original model. For brides maids and for dressy summer time uses with the fiilly and fluffy frocks of lingerie persuasion, there are countless manifesta- tions of the popularity of this mode. one clever maker has brought out plain and severe one that can be taken apart

aigretted affair that Madame Modiste will smilingly ask some S75 for, there is a field for each and every example. Par isian milliners are facing the under brim with the new panne satin, either in black, a dark brown or one of the dead shades of rose, the facing leaving an inch or two of the leghorn exposed at the edge. And the charm of 1t Is that this facing and its color are in no wise dependent upon the color or kind of trimming that decorates the top. J0St whatever will best bring out the co1pr of hair and eyes Is correct, the one point, and the only one, 1t would seem, to be insisted upon being that It prove becoming.
 The color of the Panama and Leghorn braids-when the natural or unbleached product Is used-is usually far from be- coming to the average complexion and chevelure; hence the fad for facngs upon those.
 But 1t is the lower laden hat that is really the novelty of the later season. Large shapes are succeeding to the small ones that ushered in the summer days. White chip, erin, horsehair, peroxyllin. and even silk and mohalr braids-of the trimming variety-are in use. The brlms

The season may now be said to have gained its second wind; and 1t is Inter esting to note that many of the fads and features that were ushered In at the start as being the one and only correct thing have disappeared utterly, never to return 1t Is devouty hoped.
 Although one hears moro or less of the directoire styles In costume 1t must be acknowledged that the milliner Is mak- ing far more use of the suggestions fur nished by this period than Is the dress maker. The highcrowned and generous width of brm that characterized the headgear of those days make up charm ingly in straw of several genres. Although intended for midsummer wear, the afore- said high crown is usually enswathed in a steep velvet band, and bows of ye-ot ribbon arc generously employed In Its trimming.
 Feathers of all sorts and characters are in the highest esteem, right In the very first flight of fashion. Ostrich plumes have acquired such length and thickness that their cost has increased in proportion. It Is not at all an uncom- mon thing for the millner to order 45

Fashions in Headdress.
Fumes of Many Kinds Appear.


 The uncurled ostrich plume is one of the latest of fashions freaks, and, like many other fads of the moment, needs to be very cleverly and still more carefully handled, else the results are anything but modish. One of the best examples of this new mode Is that of the illustration, wherein the natural ostrich feather, un- filled and uncurled. is made white and treated to fascinating little pastiche near the tip, this in a dark brown tint. The effect is not altogether unlike the dyed peacock's feathers that are, how ever, now altogether passe and out of style. The hat itself Is somewhat larger than those we have become accustomed to. strange as we thought them at first. The shape Is on the wide sailor order, the crown and the edge of the brim being both in white satin. Thick and careless folds of white malnette encircle the crown, the plumes starting from loose knot, and little bunch of tea roses are tucked here to hide the stems. The inev itable cache peigne Is rather more to the side than the back, and foamy ruche of the white malinette entirely covers this The shape is a good one for those whose mode of coiffure does not accord well with the vogue of the small chapeau.
 The Little Vatican TiptiIt.
 The hat of the season Is the small and round shape |, Tt is built up with huge cache-peigne in the back, affording that fascinating little tilt over the features tlrat Is becoming to well-nigh every woman this side of 50. Straws, and pressed straws at that, are the features of this seasons millinery, and It were well to fluff the coiffure out well at the sides to meet the edge of Is somewhat small hat. The smart example of the pict re is one that lends itself well to reproduction in sey- eral ways. albeit it is the creation of one of the famous millners of the Rue de la Paix. A fine white chip makes the shapes. with Its somewhat high and bowl-shaped crown; while the cache peigne in the back Is some nine inches at It's steepest part.

conjunction to the face or complexion. It must be remembered in selecting a boa that any color worn above the face will improve ones looks. when that same color worn below the face will take away much ly from the complexion. For example, red in aschapeau is almost universally be- coming, bringing out whatever coloring there is in the complexion, and heighten- ing it delicatey. But the same rosy tint worn immediately below the face will dull whatever coloring there may be in a none too clear skin, and spoil whatever claims 1t may have to daintiness and delicacy of coloring. The same may be said of the pale blue and the pinks; and even the slightest touch of yellow or grayness to the skin is sure to be emphasized most unduly when those tlnts are worn in too close proximity to the complexion.

Small Sailors Are Trimmed mt the
 Back.

Far less extreme In style than the aver age sailor, this little model will com mend itself vastly to those of smart but quieter tastes. For general. all-around wear it Is one that will meet well-ngh any occasion modishly. Not at all too fussy or dressy for shlrtwalst wear, it Is stlll fussihed enough to go with any of the afternoon gowns of silk or lin- gerie persuasion. The straw is one of those rough finished satin braids, which have attracted quite a little attention since the season began to get It's second wind, so to spenk. The crown Is of goodly size, setting comfortably to the shape of the head. and the steep cache-piegne which the millner declares is positively

This Is covered In soft black velvets en- tirely concealed with the frothy ruchings of white malinette, In which the tucked white roses and sprays of fine white heather at intervals, with the daintiest effect imaginable. A huge frothy ruching of the malinette is posed, plume shape, along the left side of the crown, covering It all most completely, while thls is balanced on the other side with thick spray of white roses and foliage, punctuated with the lit- tie spikes of heather. large and some what stiff white aigrette Is thrust 10 stick out at quite marked angle, pointing to- wards the back. little soft tacking of tule beneath the brim serves to soften the line over the face. The accompanying boa is also of the white malinette, folded dou- ble throughout and with showers of med ium wide white louisine ribbon as finish to either end.
 The "Phipps" Bebe Hat.
 The bebe hat solves the problem of head gear for the half-grown girl perhaps bet ter than any other shape that is pressing for fashionable attention just now. The stiff and set shapes seldom, or never, look well upon the miss of 15 or a year or So older Either they are too mature in ap- pearance or else they are too childish. Something to hit the juste milieu, the happy medium, Is sadly wanted ana tnlS little bebe hat seems to fill the bill better than most others. When a plainer and more severe shape is required the plain round sailor like unto the summer hat of her brother. will be found both suitable and serviceable. The smart one of the picture is eminently easy of construction, even for the amateur milliner. The ma terial is altogether of a narrow Hamburg fiouncing, or else a rather MIde edging Is used. The crown is made after the Tam O'Shanter shape-full and puffy-and the embroidery, which, incidentally, shows some insertions of guipure and baoy Irish crochet among the alternate blind and open work, is shirred to the crown to make the upper brim. The under part is filled In with two rows of fine shirred lawn, each edged with a narrow Valen- ciennes lace. There Is vevet-coyered bandeau all the way around the headsize, q trife sleeper at the left side, to give the chapeau the desired tilt. Soft white satin ribbon is looped along this. rosette occupying the lift in the shape, while the same ribbon is twisted into a broad Alsatian bow that takes up the entire left side of the hat against the crown. A close little cluster of Scotch roses Is tucked in at the other side and the shape is dented In against the hair in the back

upon the supplemental tax book to
be adjusted In the regular course OF
las, and In the end the tax would
have to be paid, though not until
the next year. Therefore, the tax,
payer who promptly paid his taxes
under the township assessment could
not lose by such course, while the
taxpayer who refused could not
profit by such refusal.
Inquiries have also been received
concerning the settling up OF the
township business, the disposition OF
public funds now in the hands OF
township officials, the payment OF
township officials for services render
ed, township obligations, etc. The
decision In the Linn County case
throws no light upon this subject,
and as it does not directly involve
any other county, and since the
winding up Of .he township business
OF the present year would not be DIFF
ferent from that OF former years, so
far as said decision is concerned, |
would advise that settlement be
made and township obligations paid
as though decision had not been
rendered, except that public funds
should be turned over, withou de.
lay, to the county officials entitled
to their custody under the general
law.
Many other remedies and exped-
Tents have been suggested for the dii-
fiaulties confronting the counties
coming within the scope OF the de.
cision heretofore referred to, but |
Am OF the opinion that the course
hereinbefore suggested is the most
practicable to be pursued under the
circumstances.
Very truly yours,
