Ostrich Feathers on
All the Seasons Hats.

In forecasting the autumn fashions
1t was predicted that ostrich feathers
would give way to coque feathers,
birds, and various manufactured orna-
ments, but 1t is obvious now that the
prophecy will not hold, for ostrich
feathers were never more in evidence,
and certainly they never were more
beautiful.
Nine out Of every ten hats one sees,
1t is safe to say, display somewhere in
their makeup an ostrich feather,
even If 1t be only a very tiny one al
most hidden in the mass of illusion at
the back or peeping over the brim at
the side from under an avalanche of
aigrettes and other plumage.
Few Of this seasons chapeaux could
correctly be called simple, while the
way many Of them combine materials
and colors Is nothing short of mar
velous.
There is one very fetching style Of
headgeaT that is commendable for its
simple yet artistic lines, called for its
shape the Sweeny. 1t has a crown Of
web velvet draped somewhat in Tam
o'-Shanter effect over a brim which
widens and rolls slightly towards the
sides. There is not a vestige of trim
ming on 1t except a heavy curly
aigrette, that coils over the left side
TO droop over the ear and a bunch
Of wee roses underneath the brim.
II is an especially becoming model for
the high coiffure, and requires also
that the hair be we'll puffed out at the
sides.
The seal of approval has certainly
been set upon the wearing Of furs for
all occasions and in all possible ways.
1t is many years since fur has been
popular as a trimming for gowns. 1t
will even be seen on evening gowns.
AS this is a period OF extravaganza,
1t is unnecessary to say that imitation
furs will have no place. Further than
that, 1t is difficult to declare one fur
more OF a favOrite tnan another,
Black lynx is the newest fad, and as
its gloss renders it very becoming, we
may expect to see a good deal of 1t.

All-Mhlte Waists.

One of the prettiest of the all-whlte
waists is an all-over German valen-
ciennes lace in rather a deep cream,
embroidered with heavily padded coin
and pin dots. Such a blouse worn
with white skivt is extremely useful
for an evening athome or to assist at
an informal little tea. For, after all,
nothing is more becoming TO young
and old alike than an entirely white
gown
One OF this character has the merit
of being comparatively uncrushable;
1t can be packed without irreparable
damage in suit case and even may
be washed in a tub, provided the skirt
is of some material that stands water,
as cashmere or mohair

NeuU Styles Put Out
by the DressmdkerS.

Shoulder forms ready TO slip into
the Innings of dresses can now be
found in as many shops as there are
shoulders. There is the broad shoul-
der, broad from back to front, which
is curved a little with a mans coat
effect This is much affected by
tailors
There is the straight shoulder.
which buiNs out the coat suit with
square, straight figure. There is the
sleeve extender, with little tipped up
shelves to hold the sleeve out and
which are invaluable for soft silk and
crepe waists. The best, perhaps, is
the form TO raise the little old-fash-
toned dropping shoulder which in
these days has become hopeless to At.
This is supplied with little extern
sion of felt or flannel, which rolls
up and fits under the gathers, and for
uneven shoulders a little extra roll
of cotton is slipped into one side.
These are made of shaped and mold
ed haircloth, covered with cotton
cloth, and slip easily in between out
side and lining.
Best for the hurry up call are pat
ent hooks and eyes that go with a
hammer instead of a needle. Each
is furnished with four little pointed
teeth that bend under and require
TO be gently pounded into place. A
genuine improvement in the sewing
hook and eye is the kind with holes
for sewing through reversed. There
is a single hole at the back where
the lesser strain comes and two up
near the bend where the hook needs
to be held firm. The eye is built on
the same plan with the result that
half the usual number of threads will
hold.
Women who worry over turning
skirts should buy one Of the adjust.
able skirt markers, which marks the
turning line Of the skirt at whatever
point II is set above the floor. There
are many different kinds Of markers,
but good ones may be had for from
so cents to 81. For linen dresses
which come unfinished there is
special white linen or duck braid
which holds It in shape and which
comes in five-yard lengths at eight
cents apiece.

Novel Souvenirs.

In the way of dinner and luncheon
souvenirs there are now charming
little Dresden flower pots of tiniest
size, containing perfect little china
flowers. These may be chosen in fac
simile of the actual flowers used on
the table.
They are of the most fragile and
exquisite workmanship and have been
used by several hostesses of original
ity, serving the guests afterward as
charming additions TO curio cab
inets.

MAUD, FRIEND OF WORKING MEN.
Railroad Mascot That objects 10 Baths
and Good Clothes.

PoUaHKERPsIR July 7.-Passengers on the
Central New England Railroad are mystifed
occasionally by hearing conductors and
train hands talking about Maud.
"How's Maud to-day?" is a question pro-
jected at the Poughkeepsie station by half
the crews on the line. II the train stops
long enough to permit of conversation a
little more in detail the conductor may
remark:
we had Maud with US for a trip the
other day. She's looking fine and dandy"
To this maybe the reply will be: -Maud's
a wise m She's only riding on palace
car trains nowadays"
Maud is q plain. uncombed. bright eyed
yellow mongrel, with a hair covering like
motheaten fringe On an old, outcast, broken
DOWN and abandoned lounge. She wan
dered into the administration Offices of the
Central New England Railroad in this city
q few months ago looking dirty and i'll kept.
She sided up to a clerk who was interested
by her excessive LONELINESS. He remarked.
"That dog Is so homely hat she looks as
II she might know something"
-Geei wouldn't that face give you a painl'
was the chorus all around the room when
the clerks got a glimpse Of the interloper.
Railroad men favor mascots. Any part
or parcel Of the living creation which comes
around with q good luck expression topmost
is sure Of a warm reception and an easy
existence thereafter. Maud must have got
wise to this condition of things, for 1t was
only a few days before she was secure in
the affections Of every man in the Pough-
keepsie station. Her empire she extended
rapidly, until now it embraces every crew
on the road. from the flyer dow to the
way freight.
Station Agent Fraieigh sees that Maud is
well fed. He offered her a bath but she re-
fused IL and was missing thereafter for a
week. since which incident this feature OF
her toilet has been omitted. She wears q
leather collar and q baggage check.
Maud will pay no attention 10 a well
dressed man. Let a man In greasy overalls
and with blackened hands and face come
along and she will turn somersaults of ex-
uberant joy. II the man has an old slouch
hat of the vintage Of 4S Maud's 10Y becomes
his overalls are tied around the waist with a
piece OF old rope the climax Of her salts
faction is reached.
Often Maud sits in he doorway at the
Poughkeepeie station and watches the
trains 60 through. The trainmen. engineers
their voices: Hello, Maud!"
Back will go Maud's ears. she will wag her
tail until 1t gyrates like a top and then will
mix her body up in the circles until the re-
suit reminds you Of a problem in geometry.
brook or Hartford. The railroad men are
always on the lookout for her and she has
sense enough to refrain from playing about
a moving train.

Men have been pleased to regard this

The French Revolution. that ~leveller
OF social distinctions, seems to have been
largely responsible for the blotting out Of
all beauty and p-icturesqueness from mems
dress, An authority say that though the
change began in France it was partly to
mark contempt for old court usage and
partly in imitation Of certain classes Of
persons in England whose costume the
French mistook for that Of the nation
generally.
This new dress was introduced by the
s~ans-culottes n consisted Of a round hat.

But there is a CLEAN of hope. Because
he has clothed himself for a hundred years

femininity cannot be stemmed.

ton, he will think the game is worth the
