COLLECTING OLD GLASS.

variety and beauty of even q small
glass collection will surprise those
whose collecting thoughts have always
turned else where, says House Beauti-

The delicacy Of glass makes china seem
heavy, and the deep tones of china
cause glass to become l~ifeless. Glass
needs a cahinet to itself, where it will
develop a wealth OF color possibilities.

Wells AND NETS.

The question now seems to be: How
may wells be worn with tioppy felt hats
t~lree-quarters OF a yard in diameter?
Even il one could afford to buy such
quantities OF yelling, after having souan-
dered the family fortune on a satin gown.
could an obstinate piece Of gauze be per-
suaded to gracefully drape a hat that
bends with every vagrant zephyr? Lace
wells of great length and width might be
fastened more or less securely during the
early fall, but when winter winds blow
sharply. ould any number OF pins keep
the veil in place?
Perhaps 1t would be we'll for every fol-
lower of the fashion to begin a course OF
lessons in the proper arrangement of the
hair net. 1t may now be regarded as the
only salvation of ~womankind, for, with
wells eliminated, a net is the only thing
that will keep the hair II order.

JAUNTY TURBANS AS
POPULAR AS BIG HATS
Round in Shape, High Crowns
and Mostly Brimless-Set
Deep on Head.

Turbans make a good showing In
new shapes, mostly on the round order.
They are quite voluminous this season,
and are sometimes shaped exactly like
an enormous crown, an in
verified bowl or caldron. Others have
diminutiNe brim sections, which are
deliberately turned down all around,
and others still show brims turned up
sharp a la Torero, encircling a huge,
f~lat-topped crown frequently slightly
higher in front. In all instances the
headsiye is immense. and comes deep
over the coiffure OF the wearer, thus
etfecting a very attractive new profile
line.
Some of the prettiest and smartest
new turbans are of soft, heavy beaver
i'll warns, deep browns. tans and grays,
as we'll as brick and white, looking al
most exactly like fur, and the little
animal heads and claws, with which
they are sometimes ofnamented. make
the imation even more plausible. Tur-
bans made of real fur will come in
strongly later: for the time being those
made in a combination Of soft felt
and fancy feathers, or marabout, are
Very adequate f~orrunners.
Enormous Crowns.
In new shapes covered with piece
goods the variety is extremely great.
They come mostly in large, bold mod

seasons millinery. Crowns play almost
as conspicuous a part as do the brims.
being very wide. particularly in the
headsiZe. There are some which are
perfectly straight from base t. top,
while others are %confcal, or shaped like
a tymbal. Fla tops and those denied
just a trile are very much in favor,
even for dome and tymbal shaped
crowns.
Brims folded up to form a rever at
the one side droop lower than ever at
the back and the opposite side, and
those dropping throughout their cir
conference are also fashionable. Some
are quite rigid. flaring up just a trihe
at both sides. or s-e slightly depressed
in the middle. back and front, on the
order of the original capeline, while
another very smart shape shows a most
attractive little upward fare in the
middle 'front.'. The crowns of most OF
these hats are SO large in the head
size that one scarcely knows where the
brim begins.
Preferred Materials.
The materials most strongly fea-
tured are satin, ottoman silk, heavy
corded repp, coarse meshed faille, and
a new, heavy texture of rough pongee
especially made for winter millinery.
The plain and panne velvets have to
share honors with the uncut variety
OF textures and colors that its success
is almost assured.

FOR COLLAR STAYS

An easy and convenient way of putting
collar stays in the collar without sewing
them in each tins the waist comes back
from the laundry is to sew pieces OF lace
at the top and bottom OF the
collar. leaving the sides toward the cen.
ter open. In the pockets thus formed the
ends Of stays can be easily inserted or re-
moved by bending the stays slightly in the
center.
The stays can be dipped in gasoline
when soiled and cleans without losing

EXPECT NEW LEGAL POINTS.
Wires in the Streets, Involved in Iowa
Falls Case.

Special to Republican.
Iowa Falls, Oct. 2O.-Some new legal
points involving wires in the streets
of city or town, promise to be brought
out in case that will be given hear
ing here this afternoon. The phases
of the questions are of interest to all
municipalities, inasmuch as they af-
feet the stretching of wires in the
streets, and the removal of wires when
necessary to move buildings or other
large structures along the streets The
case is one in which the local electric
light company is the plaintiff and seeks
to collect bill of Simpson Brothers
for taking down and replacing the
company's wires when the defendants.
who are engaged in the business Of
moving houses, were moving buildings
along the streets. The action is really
brought to test the real meaning OF
the franchise under which the light
company claims to be operating, which
has provision regulating the remov-
al of wires. 1t is claimed by the de-
PENDANTS that anything placed in the
streets by any utility is an obstruc-
ton, and will have to be removed by
the company owning the property,
when requested to do so by any citi-
zen. 1t is held that the streets are
public property, and for the free and
unobstructed use of the public. and
that anything placed in the streets OBJ

BRYAN DEFENDS PARTY.
Tells Republicans to Get Rid Of One
Panic Before Crvino Another.

Brookston, Ind, Oct. 2O.-Denounc-
ing Taft and the others for asserting
that panic will ensue. in case of a
democratic victory this year, Bryan In
a fifteen minute speech here today, de-
Tended the platform of his party, and
urged his auditors to support the state
and national democratic tickets. "They
tell you," he said, "a panic will occur
# the people will quit paying salaries
to republican officials. They had bet
ter get rid of one panic before they
talk about another one. One panic at
a time is enough"
In careful discussion Of the trust
question, Bryan maintained that if his
auditors believed private monopoly was
indefensible and intolerable, the gov
ernment should not permit a private
monopoly to exist. They should ex-
press their will on the subject by sup
porting the democratic ticket. "For
ours is the only ticket that stands for
the elimination of private monopoly
from industry" The republicans, he
claimed, offered no remedy at all for
the trusts.
Bryan briefly explained the labor
planks of the democratic platform, and
declared that the republican party was
the enemy of the laboring man.
