old.Eashioned touches.

A number of new pique gowns OF
the soft and very beautiful quality are
trimmed in odd early nineteenth CEN
fury ways. One has a series of slash
ings into which puffings of fine white
cross-barred muslin or dotted dimity
are sewn, these slashings crescent
shaped or placed together to form a
rose or daisy suggestion. These puff
ings trim the whole length of the way
down the front of the gown. Thick
cords of dimity or of striped Organdie
are used in undulated groups on an
ether one-piece white pique gown.
Still another gown in one-piece effect
and Of moderate waist line is in am
ber-colored pique, scallOped and piped
with white dimity buttons trimming
it all down the front and about the
short hem, both hem and fronts re-
vealing an apparent underdress COM
posed entirely of amber-colored linen
down quilted in puffings over a foun-
dation of plain white lawn. Most OF
these gowns, short and scant OF hem,
are worn with white or pale tinted
stockings, whatever the shoes. Pale
pink thread stockings will be worn
with summer dresses if ankles and
feet are slender and well proper
tioned-Vogue.

PIumes Continue Popular.

Contrary to the usual custom
plumes maintain their popularity dur
ing the summer as a trimming for
straw hats.
A wired plume does not sound in
the least appropriate. One always
thinks of the long ostrich feather al
ways as the most perfect expression
of grace in hat garniture. 1t is, how
ever, only the rib or backbone of the
feather that is wired to give the added
height to some of the new turbans
and bowler shapes. The plume is stiff
fened to an almost unbelievable height
and then doubled, so that it remains
quite tall enough for all practical pur-
poses.
The all black hat with its long os-
trich feathers is no more the Partisan
favorite, and the large white hat, too,
will give way before the softer silk
and satin straws in pastel colors.
Piumes to match will be worn on
these large We, delicate creations in
tended for Afternoon wear with cos
tunes of peach color, apricot. zenith
blue and iris.

AN EASILY CHANGED SACHET.
Difficulty with Which All Women Are
Familiar Overcome in a Simple
Manner.

The great trouble of the handsome
silk sachets is that when the scent
fails they must either be discarded or
re-made. A clever young girl who is
fond of orris root among her belong
ings has overcome this diff Guilty in
a simple manner
She makes her. sachet cases of
strips of ribbon, weaving two or more
cOlors together, just as kindergarten
children weave paper. The ribbon is
cut in equal lengths, and as many
pieces are necessary as the size of
the case requires. The best way to
gauge this is to decide on the size
then divide the length by the width
of the ribbon to show the number of
pieces and cut each piece a little
longer than the width of the case.
Sometimes the ribbons are woven
into a square, again they are made
oblong. The squares are elective
when folded over into triangle when
finished
The sachet powder is sprinkled
thickly on sheets of cotton batting, a
little smaller than the woven case,
and slipped inside. Instead of sew
ing it in, the ends of the cover are
tied with narrow ribbon bows. These
are put on according to the shape of
the sachet, sometimes at the corners
or If it is quite large they must go
on the sides as well.
The raw ends of ribbon left after
weaving are tucked under and fas-
tened with a small stitch. Charm
ing color combinations can be made.
Serviceable as we'll as decorative
cases can be woven in tones of
brown and ecru or in two shades of
old blue. More delicate ones are of
rose pink and silver, lavender and
pale corncolor, baby blue and white.

cial Correspondence to the Herald.

Special Correspondence to the Herald.
Henry Propsen and Ed. :. Ollinger,
Of Sturgeon Bay, Wis, arrived in
Cassyille Wednesday on their novel
canoe trip down the Father of Waters
clear to the Gulf of Mexico, a cruise
covering 100 miles. They had two
objects in setting out on this trip.
One was to advertise the Wrigley
spearmint gum and the other to
gather data for a series of articles
3ow appearing in the Wild Life
magazine, published at Endeavor,
Wis. The boys were busy the few
hours they spent in Cassville, kodak
ing places of historic and scenic in
terest and gathering material for
their next article. They plan on
issuing the complete account of their
canoe voyage in book form later.
They expect to get TO the gulf in less
than a year and have now been some-
thing over a month on the cruise,
which started at Sturgeon Bay. The
boys are interesting chaps to converse
with and have already met with some
unusual experiences.
Cassville will evidently have many
opportunities this year to enjoy the
most novel feature in the ''show
world,'' the river theaters or floating
palaces as they are sometimes termed
by their managers. These boats
which are oftentimes fitted up surpris.
ingly fine, float up and down the river
annually, giving their performances
of varied features at nearly every
landing. Two such troupes have
already played to good houses in this
village, the last being Emerson 4
