The Feather Turban.

Some of the best shops are offering
the pin-feather turban as fashion
able hat. Women insisted upon it,
and it promises to be the smart thing.
1t is worn for street, for windy
days and all kinds of occasions when
a large hat is neither fit nor becom-
ing.
1t is built in an oblong shape, but
made wide at the sides by small birds
and wings. 1t has no bandeau and
comes well down over the hair. 1t is
in smoked gray, iridescent blue and
shaded peacock green. All iridescent
effects are good in turbans, as on
large hats.
A f1sh-net veil is always worn with
them. 1t is folded around the neck
under the chin, securely pinned at
back and then drawn up to top of tur-
ban, where it is again fastened and
the ends securely tucked away.

WEAR WAISTS OF CREPE.
Garment Stylish in Either White or
Colored Goods.

Smart women are wearing good
looking waists of white and colored
Japanese crepe, which washes as well
as linen. This fabric is much in style.
1t has little crinkle in it that is at
tractive, and it is a pleasant relief
from the usual lingerie fabric.
Although white waists with coat
suits are not quite as fashionable as
colored ones, they will still be worn
in the mornings in the house and for
shopping and will look pretty, too.
The Japanese crepe waists are far
preferable to those of muslin or lin
en-. They give new touch to the
costume.
They are embroidered in Japanese
designs of apple, chrysanthemum, wis.
taria and vines.
Some of them are trimmed with a
tiny edge of cluny outlining half-inch
fiat tucks. There is boned stock to
match and plated cravat in front
of the material edged with quarter
inch cluny lace.
These are not lined, although they
are quite sheer. If a woman feels the
cold in thin waists during the autumn
and winter she should have china silk
slips made of white and pastel colors
to wear under them.

she imagined, she decided to go with
her husband all the way to Seattle
and visit her brother-in-law
"I'll never forget our start" said
Mrs. Barker after reaching Seattle.
eve went to point short distance
outside of Lincoln, and there 1 made
bonfire of my skirts and put on mems
clothes. 1 wore a heavy pair of trou-
sers and pair of overalls on top of
them, a long heavy coat and a SLOUGH
hat. 1 kept my hair moistened all the
way so that could keep it in compact
form under my hat.
1.-THE only person who discovered
my identity on the entire trip was a
conductor. He happened to pull off
my hat while 1 was asleep in box
car. He treated me nicely, though,
and gave me a good dinner. In fact
the only really well-cooked meal we
obtained on the entire journey.
Il could never control my timidity,
however, about entering a farmhouse,
because l was afraid my sex would
be discovered"
At Park City, Mont, they were ar
rested. Mrs. Barker, the police told
her, was suspected of having stolen
suit case. They were taken to a sa-
loon in charge of a deputy sheriff
armed with a shotgun and two other
officers, and held there until a police
man ascertained if she answered the
description of the thief. Finally he
came back, looked at her forehead for
a certain mark he did not find, and
then released both of them.
Il was scared" said Mrs. Barker,
'but did not let it appear So"
They often rode in box cars with
Is or 20 other hobos.

Taffeta is used more often than any
other material for the making OF the
modish evening hood. very soft taffeta
of course, without crispness, though
with certain body which the big hood
needs. Liberty satin, too, is used
for lovely models, and occasionally one
sees model of transparent NOUS
seine or net or lace over a silken
foundation.
Silk yelling, too, is hood material.
and one of the prettiest models was
in wolfe de sole ciel, with a little puff
fling bordered by cords of ciel taffeta
and frill of lace framing the face
while on the middle front just inside
the lace frill was posed garland of
tiny pink roses and foliage. This same
model We have seen in rose pink taft
feta and in delicate lilac taffeta.
A hood of this type should surely
not be a difficult problem for clever
brains and fingers, and for that matter
majority of the models are not par
ticularly complicated in construction,
requiring taste and ingenuity rather
than expert workmanship.
A wide puff Of cream net bordered
on each side by line of tiny roses
or rosebuds and a single or double
| frill of lace make good finish for one
of the voluminous hoods of taffeta
or liberty Sometimes the frills are of
silk mousseline or chiffon rather than
of lace, and perhaps the outer frill
matches the hood in color while the
| frill next the hair and face is white.
| Narrow black lace and knots of
black velvet trim one hood of straw
colored silk, and velvet loops and bows
finish the front of>another silk model
which has only a narrow bordering
frill of lace around the face but deep
capelike frill of lace around the neck.
A majority of the hoods have some
sort of cape finish, more or less shall
low, and some have long scarfs of the
hood material cut in one with the
body of the hood.
Two wells, one falling in front and
one behind, are adjusted to most Of
the poke and coal scuttle motor bon
nets, and the neutral and medium
tints are usually chosen, the fashion
able smoke and taupe grays being es-
pecially popular. Other small, close
fitting bonnets have wells draped
round them and falling at the back in
two long scarfs, which may be adjust
ed and manipulated as the wearer
may choose.
Half bonnet, half hood are certain
motor toques in mousseline de sole
on the order of the taupe one pic
tured here, with wide, low draped
crown, soft frills falling over the hair
and long scarfs brought forward from
sides and back.

ADRIFT Sc HOURS IN OPEN RoA1.
Family of Six Has Awful Experience
in Dense Fog.

londonderry Marshall and his
wife and four young children were
landed at Cardiff pierhead after hav-
ing been SO hours afloat, without food,
in an open boat.
Marshall is a wire-worker, whose
custom it has been to move from sea-
port to seaport with his family in
14-foot punt. They spent week at
Weston, and on getting into the chan
mel became lost in fog.
After vainly pulling about through
out the whole of day and night, hun
CRY and wet, Marshall was well-uigh
exhausted. For the little children, the
eldest being six years and the youngest
baby, it was terrible experience.
Next morning, during brief lifting of
the fog, they were sighted from the
Flat Holm, off Cardiff, by Fred Harris,
the farmer of the island, who hailed
them. Marshall had barely strength
enough to pull the boat to the beach,
where the occupants were assisted
ashore by Mr.. Harris, who brought
them to his house and was unremit-
ting in his kindness.
Mr.. Harris in his own boat brought
the rescued family to Cardif.

BANK NOTES IN A DUST BIN.
How They Were curiousIy Discovered
and Returned to Their Owner.

Ten 1,000-franc bank notes, repre-
senting the savings of a woman who
lived at Nanterre, near Paris, were
hidden by her in an old envelope,
which was placed in a drawer. In a
moment of forgetfulness the envelope
found its way into a dust bin.
In the morning the ragpickers
turned out the bin, but tossed aside
the tattered envelope without inspec-
ton. Some carriers happened to pass
that way. They picked up the now
mud splashed piece of paper, one re-
marking to the other: Perhaps there
is fortune inside!" They drew out
the notes. This Is some fools pleas
antry." they said; so by way of re-
venging themselves on the unknown
joker and not believing the notes to
be genuine, they tore them to pieces
and threw them aside.
Two market women came along
shortly afterward. With the shrewd-
ness of their class they recognized
the scattered pieces Of paper and
gathered them up and took them to
the commissary of police.
They were pieced together and it
was found that none was missing.
Two hours later the notes so curiously
discovered were restored to their
owner.

She Cried Out Desperately for HeIr

all landmarks, she decided to try to
sleep until daylight.
Mrs. Olsen lay for a time trying to
sleep. Then the thought of wild
beasts came to add to her worries.
She had heard somewhere of hydro
phobia skunks which bite a sleeper
only on the face. To guard against
such an attack she removed her skirts
and wrapped them tightly about her
head. The mist from the ocean
chilled her through and through and
with the constant fear of the ami
mails and the terrors of the darkness
she could not close her eyes to sleep.
Finally dawn came and at the first
ray of light Mrs. Olsen started again
on the search for the trail that would
lead her back to Avalon Her feet
were so cut by the rocks that it was
only with the greatest difficulty she
was able to drag herself along.
Finally she heard the roar of the
ocean apparently at great distance.
She reasoned that if she could follow
the coast line of the island she would
eventually reach her goal. But so far
gone was her strength that when she
reached the beach at Whites Landing
she collapsed.
When she recovered she laved her
feet with the water, trying to take
away the singing pain of the cuts
1t was then that she heard the putting
of gasoline launch, saw it going
past her and desperately cried out for
help and signaled to the occupant.
The, man in the launch saw the signal,
saw it was a woman in distress, and
went to shore. Then, with Mrs. Olsen,
he returned to Avalon.
Mrs. Olsen was taken care of and
later was placed aboard the steamer
for the trip back to San Pedro and
her friends.
Altogether Is hours were passed
from the time Mrs. Olsen started to
explore the island until she was found
on the beach by the boatman, every
moment of which was filed with the
terrors and suffering any castaway on
barren island might experience.

Girl Unafraid of Bears.

South Bend, Wash.-The new ten
ants of the old Billiard place, near
Menlo, are Mr.. and Mrs. John Meyer
and Annie Scholtz, Mrs. Myers 49,
year-old sister.
The other day she discovered bear
in an apple tree and Immediately
brought out a .22-caliber rife with
which to slay him. AS the bear was
pretty well hidden by the foliage of
the tree, she, without moments hest
tation, climbed into the tree and began
shooting.
She had fired two shots, both of
which had taken effect, and the bear
was coming down when neighbor,
Sherd Vaughn, coming along, took the
rifle from her, and, with well-aimed
shot through the ear, brought the bear
to the ground.

Beach by Boatman.

Los Angeles, Cal.-After a night of
narrowing experience, with hunger,
exhaustion and the fear of wild ami
mails, Mrs. Margaret Olsen of Brook
Ign, n. Y, visitor to Catalina island,
was found early the other morning in
a state of collapse on the edge of the
island, where she had wandered in an
effort to find a trail to Avalon.
Mrs. Olsen was found crouched on
the beach by a son of TONY, the
Greek" He saw her from his launch
when she called for aid as he went
past on the way to the fishing grounds.
She was taken back to Avalon and
placed on a steamer for San Pedro.
Mrs. Olsen had made arrangements
to meet another woman friend and
make a sightseeing trip of the island
with her. The friend failed to ap-
pear, and alone Mrs. Olsen made the
trip.
Arrived at the island, Mrs. Olsen
made the rounds of the sights, includ-
ing trip inland to the Pacific wire
less station. When returning to take
the steamer that left at 3:15 o'clock,
she started to take a short stroll
among the hills. So engrossed was
she in the scenery that it was not
until she had wandered far inland
that she looked at her watch and to
her surprise saw that it was three
O'Clock. She Immediately tried to find
a short cut to the steamer, but lost
her way. Hour after hour she tramped
through the hills, cutting her feet on
the rough stones, breaking through
heaps of brush, tearing her clothes
and decorating her hands. But with
all her efforts the way only became
more hopelessly lost. Then, utterly
exhausted, and with darkness hiding

not at all impressed with her imperial
brothers dignity. Some time ago the
kaiser caused to be published a piece
of music known as THE Song Of
Aeigir," of which he himself claimed
to be the composer. The piece was
performed at the Royal opera house
in Berlin, and all of the courtiers pro
nounced it remarkable piece OF
music. Princess Charlotte, however.
was secretly amused, and, having
some ideas of her own on the subject,
privately questioned the kaiser's adju-
tant, Count Won Moltke.
Tell me-" said she, who helped
his majesty to put together that fear
full song?"
The adJutant was very much embar-
raised, and tried to avoid direct an
swer. Finally, when hard pressed, he
said:
His majesty composed the song. "
Yes" said the princess, that is, of
course, the official version. But what
l want you to tell me is just how his
majesty did it."
AT the piano, replied the adJutant.
Princess Charlotte smiled ironically.
Yes" said she, "but since when has
his majesty learned to play the
piano?" Her tone was disconcerting.
A little later she showed Count Won
Moltke that she was quite well aware
that he had composed the music, and
that the orchestration had been done
by DR.. Becker, who afterward received
a decoration as a reward for his as
sistance and his silence in the affair
Many other stories are told of the
cleverness and humor Of Princess
Charlot@, who finds the kaiser's
formal functions a good deal of q
bore. Indeed, she is quite democratic
in her irreverence for court forms; sc
much so that the empress once said OF
her: "She demoralizes the younger
officers"

IncIine-Origin Of the
| Fire Unknown.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 1S.-Fa-
nous old Lookout inn, on the crest
of Lookout mountain, was burned
to the ground yesterday afternoon,
together with all its contents, and
also four cottages in close proximity
to the hotel. The owners, Messrs.
June & Shamotoulski, stated that
deal had Just been consummated for
the sale of the inn property for
consideration of $135,000, and but
for the fire the deal would have been
closed today. There was but $4,000
insurance on the hotel and furnish
ings.
Aside from the hotel, the four
cottages and their contents were de-
stroyed. entailing loss estimated
at SIC, 900 The amount of insurance
on these could not be learned.
The incline powerhouse was badly
damaged and the trestle on the face
of the bluff was ablaze for consid-
cradle time. Last night there was
streak of fire almost from the top to
the base of Lookout mountain, along
the line of the incline.
The fire started in the south wing
of the hotel building, but the exact
cause has not yet been ascertained
| The generally accepted theory is
| that a defective flue is responsible.
From the city the fire was spec
tacular one during it's early progress,
but soon the mountain was entirely
enveloped in dense cloud of smoke,
and all that could be seen from high
! points In the city was what appeared
! to be a terrible storm cloud rolling
| from the southwest. With the COM
| ing of darkness, however, the smoke
+, cleared and the outline of the crest
| of old Lookout mountain was mark
| ed by a rim Of red fire with the
downward mark resembling huge
figure 8.
/ Telephone connection to the noun
| tain is badly crippled and it is i'm
| possible to get in communication
with the owners of the hotel. 1t Is
definitely known, however, that there
will be no attempt in the near future
| to rebuild the inn.
f; The hotel was completed in 1883
/ at cost OF $150,000, and contained
about 400 rooms Each succeeding
season following it's opening it has
been visited by persons of note from
all over the world. Prince Henry Of
Prussia pronounced 1t the most ideal

more gorgeous than that of the
