Popularity OF Ostrich Feathers.
From the London Express.

From the London Express.
Ostrich feathers will be the most popular
form Of hat decoration this winter.
There Is no more becoming trimming
than q fine ostrich feather" said a Bond
street milliner yesterday. 1T 10 equally At
home on a large picture hat. a smart French
model or a tiny fur toque.
Some ladies' grumble because a feather
soon goes out of curl. but II shaken for q
couple Of minutes before a fire it curls again
a. well as on the day It was new.
"A good plan when wearing a long plume
on a fur toaue Is to fasten the feather in
with q jewelled buckle. IL can then be re-
moved II the weather be very wet and a
bunch Of quilts substituted.
"Ombre feathers are the most artietic.
Mole shading to blue, brown through all
the tints of flame, orange 70 palest lemon.
and old rose to pale pink and cream are the
~favoriLe shades.

Flower petal feathers will also be seen

WENT FISHING A-HORSEBAcK.
An Animal That was q worthy Follower
Of SIR Izaak.

A somewhat novel method Of fishink
was employed by the Pudding Sisters"
whose experiences are given In Outing this
month. They did their fishing on horse
back, using W. mounts, known a. Grace
and Ginger.
The horse Grace had the added value Of
q training In trout fishing. and fishing was
good in the South Fork OF tho Snake. the
trout ranging from one to two pounds.
Grace would work acrosS the ride, no to
her sides in the swift running water, while
her rider cast q era palmer with a yellow
body up. down n across.
Il was ~laughable to watch the horse
when a fish was hooked. Slowly, patiently.
cautiously, Grace would amble toward the
shore. watching the frantic attempts Of
the fish TO ESCAPE, stepping sideways In an
effort TO give her rider better chance to
plav IL, and always signing in apparent
relief and satisfaction when the fish was
finally landed. 4
That horse keenly enjoyed the sport.
Ginger did fairly well. but had q bored
air through the whole performance. The
other horsss would have none OF IL.
The deep water. the whipping Of the
rod, the swlshing Of the line, seemed TO
get on their nerves and sney would plunge
and snort and make for the shore lust a.
\ two pound beauty was rising to the ~.
The deep water m swift current mado
hshing on foot almost impossible.

Lancashire youth walked mp 70 q counter

finished with a border decorated with small

violets separated the paper into two yard

The Japanese Woman.

One exemplary trait in a Japanese
woman Is her love of neatness. q trait
which her American neighbors might
sometimes take pattern from. A Jap
nnese will wear robe that her ances-
tors for ages back have worn. but 1t
looks as fesh and charming today as
though just purchased. Nor does a
japanese woman often grow stout.
She has sufficient strength Of mind to
forego sweets and rich foods. Her
daily hot plunge is never omitted, and
the daily hour spent at her toilet is
the most important part of her day.
Her couture Is so fearfully and won
derfully constructed that II Is not sur
prising that II Is built to remain for
days at time. The smooth, perfumed
rolled back from the low fore
head form fitting contrast to the
quaint little painted face and extreme.
" white teeth Of the japanese belle.

THE PIANO CORNER.
best Arrangement For Giving an Ar
tfstfc Touch to the Room.

best Advancement For Giving an Ar
tfstic Touch to the Room.
For giving style to the room which
must serve as living room and recep-
ton room at the same time there is no
one note so effective as the proper At
ting up and placing of the piano. Where
room will admit 1t should be drawn
across q corner, and the first essentials
for this arrangement are the drapery
and the planning of lighting facilities
back of II.
The light Is most easily and simply
managed by attaching a small candle
labrum of two or three candles to the
front Of the piano itself, putting Il In
at the low point at the left, where the
light falls upon the music. With cleo
trio lights this can be easily managed,
or without II candles will well repay
for the trouble in later convenience
and artistic effect.
To the fastidious taste the little metal
touch given by candelabra is empha-
sized in a way worth while by the ad-
dition of hanging handles In the same
design and material. These are put on
at each end of the instrument and have
their reason of existence in the saving
Of finger marks with every change of
position.
The drapery is managed with two
materials-a soft silk. which Is gath
cred over the back, or, rather, the
front, surface, and heavy embroidered
strips, which are used as a narrow
frieze across the top, and correspond
ing band across the bottom.
These hold the drapery silk In place,
and II the piano is to be perfectly ca
parisoned there should be designed at
the same time another broad strip,
which is lined, folded over envelope
fashion and laced together into mu-
sic cover for permanent use on the rest
There are all sorts of latitude In the
choice of decoration. The least elab-
crate plan is to choose linen, having 1t
stamped in a design that would lend
itself to the ordinary long and short
and COUGHING stitches, which can be
carried out in heavy rope silks.-Bos-
ton Traveller.
