The hat which turns up at ono side
is trimmed, under its most expensive
conditions. with triple ostrich feath-
ers spread widely over the crown.
More frugal examples show velvet or
ribbon and fanciful quilts. All the
crowns are considerably higher than
they have been for some two seasons,
and those which are not decorated
with feathers or flowers will show
a large Topping wing on either side.
This latter plain style looks particu-
larly well when the straw OF The
crown is Of the thateh order and the
straw Of the brim is of a very fine de-
scription.
Artificial flowers bloom In great
profusion, and every season seems to
see them in greater perfection. The
roses are more lovely than ever this
year, muslin, silk and velvet alike be-

fashionable union between a colored

1t Is already question as to wheth-
er the loose coat or the tight coat, the
long coat or the short coat will be the
proper thing, and to these questions
yes and no" answer can be returned.
| realize that on the whole the long
coat, at least that which reaches to
the knees, is to be allowed consid-
erable vogue in the early spring, and
that it is supplied with waistcoat Of
a contrasting color, and in some in
stances to be worn over a skirt which
matches with that waistcoat An ad-
mirable example has the skirt Of bis
cuit-colored cloth. and waistcoat also
of biscuit color buttoned with gold,
while the coat is Of a dull shade Of
pale green fastened with very large
gilt buttons and tied at the neck with
black glace silk ends, which certainly
give most distinctive note.
1t is some time ago now since we
had the fancy for skirts which differed
materially from their coats, and
would hail the revival with much en-
thusiasm, SO that each woman always
takes great care to cut the length q

It Is a dreadful thing to live in the
house with a thief, and worse not to
know who the thief is. Dorothy and
Mabel had tried over and over to
solve the mystery. There seemed to
be no solution to it. The mystery was
this: One day in the winter a cousin
of mammals, a very beautiful young
lady, had come to visit at the house.
When she was dressing for dinner.
she carelessly left a valuable ruby pin
on the dressing table After dinner
the pin was not there!
Such a hubbub as Cousin Gladys
created. She cried and cried and al
most had Mysteries, for the pin was
her most cherished treasure. It had
been given her BY her grandmother.
whose grandmother had in turn given
it to her, so you see 1t was very, very
old and valuable,
1t was out OF the question to accuse
either Maria or John Of dishonesty,
for they were as honest as the day is
long. Duke had been the soul Of hon
or ever since he had been an inmate
Of the household and what would a
small fox terrier want of a large ruby
breastpin, anyway? Topsy had denied
any knowledge of the affair; they
could not suspect her She might have
been guilty Of stealing a piece Of fish
-or a mouse-but what would a cat
want to steal rubies for?
The only possible solution was that
some one had entered the house while
the family was at dinner. stolen the
pin and gone off without being seen.
If there had only been footsteps in the
snow to trace the thief-but there was
no sign.
So the matter was dropped entirely
except by the children who had ere
ated wonderful tales about the loss Of
the ruby.
One beautiful June day Mabel and
Dot had a bubble bee all by them

This report coming on the heels of
the late fal and the short crop of
this year will be welcme news to the
merchants of all the towns in the
county as we'll as to the fanchers them
selves. Barrett also says that the ac>
reage of fall sown grain is much
greater in his vicinity than ever be-
fore. This insures a larger harvest
for next year for the fall sown grain
is much surer crop under all con-
ditions.
Aside from the fact that the yield
is usually better the farmer who sows
in the fall has two chances for a
crop. If his winter wheat freezes
es out his ground is in god condition
for spring sowing as a last resort. For
these reasons Barrett says a gradual
evolution from spring to fall sowing
is being made by the farmers of the
county.
