SOME NOVELTIES IN HATPINSg
BOOSTERS, Pheasants and Owl Heads
Some With Combs and Feet of
CoIored Jewels.

Chantecler hats can achieve a toucht
of the barnyard in her hatpins. There.
are roosters, pheasants, owl heads ga5
lore, from cheap ones of small size
in imitation enamel or silver to huge
affairs in rhinestones with combs andt
feet of colored jewels.
Some of these rhinestone pins are
three inches long from comb to clawss
Usually they present side view whenl
in the hat, occasionally they are set
to look as if just stepping forth for al
morning crow, showing both sides Of
the body studded.
Huge colored enamel hat pins have,
superseded rhinestone ones for the4
moment, though the former when OH
good quality are always in style. Al
good-1ooking one has large heart
worked out in various tones of red
enamel delicately lined with gold.
The girl who would make sure of
having her powder puff ever with her
now carries it in her hat pin. So
huge are some OF the new pins that
there is room for quite a sizeable pow
der puff, when the hinged lid is lifted,
So skillful is the workmanship that
none but the initiated suspect the

With a set of these pins one can be
used for powder, the second for nail
rolish or rouge and the third for tiny
channels.

USES FOR RIBBONS
HERE FASHION HAS DRAWN THE
LINE TIGHTLY.
Each Season Demands Changes, the
Majority of Which Are Easily Ac-
compIished-CoIor Scheme Al
ways to Be Remembers

1t might seem at first thought that
| he correct use of ribbon is one of the
| FASTEST things in life. but each season
lshers In its own especial use of the
| different widths, if not of particular
kinds and qualities, all of which block
| he way to success through past ex-
| perience.
To say that the sash is to be worn
S not to mean necessarily the 12-inch
| ribbon that meant sash" few years
| ago; and to proclaim the hat with the
| ribbon bow is not to tie any sort Of
/ little bow and believe ones self
walking the rope of fashion.
Fashion draws her rope tightly, and
makes little allowance for deViations
rom it's difficult way.
The ribbon as a sash is admitted
when in its softest form it hangs in
two long slim ends, very much as if 1t
we're bias liberty. To accomplish this
effect the ends are tied sometimes
into knots, with end, and again into
actual bows, which weight them into
graceful fall
Ribbon may also be folded success
fully into the sash for the waist CIR
ile, when, for this use, also, it is OF
liberty quality.
The hat bow of the season demands
breadth of ribbon and crispness of
quality.
Ribbon has been used successfully as
a tunic edge for the marquisette and
chiffon drapery of the figured foulard
gown, and 1t is the color touch on
many a pretty garden party frock-
Here, if anywhere, Is ribbon at its
best. The buttonholed slot provides
successful openings for the slipping in
and out of folded wide ribbons and OF
two-inch ribbon velvets. These are
used in gayest colors on the handsome
white or ecru frock and on the bower
sprigged or embroidered null and the
dotted swiss. Black or lavender rib
bons slipped into the natural eyelet
spaces in black and white embroid-
cred robes are an unusual treatment
of the summer frock for those who
wear light mourning.
Always successful as summer neck
ties are the medium widths of soft
ribbon, whether tied in bow or
knotted into a four-in-hand.
Color enters largely into the sue
cessful use of ribbon, and not alone
are the brightest tones called into
requisition in the furnishing of hat
and gown. The French are fond of a
certain deep prune ribbon on black
hats, and the combination is not far
from ravishing SO unusual is it. Black
ribbon on the dark blue hat or on the
gray hat is as successful as certain
combinations of black moire ribbon
with burnt straw and with ecru raff1a
fabric
ChangeabIe ribbons, last of all, be-
cause they are the newest and also
for reasons Of convenience. Straws
are not easy to match and neither are
materials, and the two-toned ribbon
Is frequently the only possible hat
trimming that will shade harmoni-
0usly into both.

ATTRACTIVE REST SLIPPERS
The Mule 5hape in Persian or Paisley
Patterned SILK Is Most
Admired.

Attractive looking "rest" slippers
for the girl whose feet trouble her are
Of mule shape in Persian or Paisley
patterned soft but firmly woven silk
For feet that are very sore or great
ly swollen the most comfortable slip
pers are the low cut strap affairs, re-
sembling sandals, made of fine kid
and equipped with thin, flexible soles.
There are also heelless slippers of
satin which will fold up and may be
carried In shopping bag of ordinary
dimensions, and less expensive replicas
of the same model can be made of
suede, which affords rather more sup
port to the feet.
If girl wishes to have rest slip
pers to match her various negligees
she may have them made of the same
materials, and if she cares for still
more elaborate footgear of a similar
type she may embroider pongee, braid
fine flexible kid or hand paint satin
tops, the pattern for which may be
procured from the cobbler who Is to
attach them to soles.

BARRED FROM
STATE COURTS
SGhWIttay Cannot Practise Law
in Wisconsin.
FOUND GUILTY BY STEVENS
Decision Handed Down In Cass Of
Marinette Lawyer After Trial
Schwitiay Seeks Sher-
ifs Office.

Madison.-Albert E. Schwittay, dis
trict attorney of Marinette county,
was dtsbarred from practising law in
the Wisconsin courts by a decision Of
Judge E. Ray Stevens. Judge Stevens
conclusions were as follows:
That the defendant does not pos
sess a good moral character, which is
requisite condition to his right to
continue in the practise Of law.
That Judgment be entered abso-
lutely annulling the license of Albert
E. Schwittay to practise as a lawyer
before all the courts of record of this
state and absolutely reVoking the IL
cense of said Albert E. Schwittay to
practise the profession Of the law out
side the courts of record Of the state
Of Wisconsin.
"A discussion of the questions of
law presented by each of these find
ings Is not essential to determine
ton of the single issue presented by
this proceeding, which is: Does the
defendant possess that good moral
character which is a prerequisite to
the right to enjoy the privileges which
are possessed only by members Of the
barr When shown that member Of
the bar does not possess such character
it Is the duty of the court to revoke
his license to practise and to deny
him all the privileges that come with
his admission to the bar.
mo discussion of the rules of law is
necessary to lead counsel or the court
to the conclusion that one who has
been guilty of conduct such as that
found by the court is no longer fit 10
have license to practise law"
Schwittay is a graduate Of the law
school Of the University Of Wisconsin
in 1901. In that year he was admitted
to the bar. Proceedings to revoke his
license were commenced In 1904 and
he was convicted of the charges against
him.
After a suspension Of three years,
Schwittay was admitted to practise
again in 1908, and in the fall Of the
same year began a campaign for the
Office of district attorney, charging
part of men then in office and num-
Der who were out of office. He Sc
cured the nomination and was elected,
and then began action to secure
grand jury.
One of the sensational events Of
the trial was the disappearance Of At
tOrney John H. Frankie, who was one
of the chief witnesses for the state.
He was later brought back and testi-
fed against Schwittay The court
fined him $50 for not obeytng the sub
poena which had been served upon
him, and administered a severe rebuke.
Before the decision in the disbar
ment action was given Schwittay an
nounced himself as candidate for
the nomination for sheriff Of the coun-
ty, and filed nomination papers August
6. He stated that if he was not dis
barred he would pull out Of the fight
for the sheriffs nomination, and run
as an independent candidate for the
district attorneys office again.

TEN HINTS AS TO FOOTWEAR
KEYNOTE of Best Dressed Wonen's
Footgear Is Certain Distinc-

A certain distinctive conservatism is
the keynote of the footgear of the best
dressed women.
Slippers Of black satin have replaced
the popular black velvet models, as
the latter are bit too warm for sum-
mer wear.
There are lovely novelties in the
way of buckles, rosettes and bows for
the dainty evening slippers.
Evening slippers generally match
the gown with which they are worn.
In the smart street shoes a good
deal of perforation is used as trim
ming, both in the black and tan mod
els.
The Cuban heel, in variety of
heights, is tae correct thing on all
footgear, excepting the evening slip

w. Cents a Mile for State Fair.

Reduced rates of three cents per
mile for round-trip tickets, or a fare
and one-half, have been granted by
the Western Passenger association for
the state fair. William MacLaren
and Frank A Cannon, mem bers Of the
state fair board, made arrangements
for the reduced rate.
An extension of the time limit was
granted, the new stopover being good
for one week. This rate and stopover
have been granted for all county fairs
reached by the Western Passenger
association.
Efforts will be made by Mr. Mac
Laren and Mr.. Cannon to get better
railroad facilities for the great num-
Der of people coming to Milwaukee
on the Milwaukee road Heretofore
the trains have not stopped at the
fair ground station on their trip to
Milwaukee and much time was vast
ed by these passengers, who had to
come back to the grounds over cleo
trio lines from the city
The tracks which pass the fair
grounds are not used for passenger
service. The new tracks, completed
a few weeks ago, carry both incoming
and outgoing passenger service, while
the fair ground tracks are used only
for freight. 1t is hoped by members
Of the board that the railroad will run
