can be cleaned and recurled at com.
paratively small outlay and may be
bought on a guarantee from the dealer
that they will stand wear. Moisture
doesn't do them any permanent harm.
On the other hand the willow plume
cannot be guaranteed to wear. Those
in black are especially fragile, some
thing in the dye causes them to come
united or to break off when the air
is damp. The white and light colors
wear better than black.
When one does not need to think OF
economy there are beautiful effects to
be wrought out by using plumes with
pieced fues, which are well worth
the price.
Three fall hats are illustrated here
showing the simplicity and richness
Of ostrich used for trimming. They
are mounted in groups Of three or
more toward the back OF the hat as a
rule. Nothing else is needed on the
shape and the addition Of a band and
bow about the crown is a matter of
choice, for shape bearing full tuft
of plumes is amply trimmed.

PRETTY FANCY OF FASHION
tifuI, Though Only for Those
With Long Purses.

The very newest thing in jewelry Is
the reproduction Of old and priceless
laces In tiny pearls and diamonds
mounted upon gunmetal, platinum or
diamond net. The exact pattern OF
the lace is copied, and the whole Is
formed into jabot or lace fall for
the collar. Sometimes there is a bow
above, composed Of some colored
stones-emeralds or amethysts or ru-
bies-set in solid.
This new and wonderful work has
revolutionized the art Of the jeweler,
since the workmanship has become
quite as valuable as the stones them
selves. These laces of jewels are, Of
course, ruinously expensive, but they
are such marvels of beauty that a wo-
man might we'll dispense with all 9TH
er ornament for the sake Of possessing
one of them.

The Swan-llke Throat.

This is to be great season for col
larless frocks.
But one pretty neck is often harder
to acquire than the dozens Of chemis-
cites we may have done away with.
A good neck depends much upon the
general health, but considerable may
be done that is of direct benefit.
Many an otherwise lovely neck Is
ruined by an awkward poise of the
head. The best cure for this is to sit
or walk each day with book on
the head Do not stiffen the muscles
to hold this weight. Manage it by
balancing.
Thinness of the neck should be an
easy fault to overcome.
Plenty OF sleep and an abundance Of
milk, with raw eggs beaten up In 1t,
should help considerably.
The neck should be washed well
every night with warm water, followed
by a cold spray and massaged after
ward with a cold cream.

GOOD HORSE BUYING POINT
Animal Should Not Have Too Much
Daylight Between Hind Legs-its
Main Pulling Strength.
BY c. MILLER.

Father taught me one rule about
buying horse which / have always
observed and l find 1t works out right
every time. He said never buy a
horse that shows too much daylight
between his hind legs-that is IL he
seems to be split up too high you may
be sure that he lacks power A
horses main pulling strength comes
from his hind legs and back and he
should be low on the ground. He also
taught me never to buy horse which
had the tendency to stand on the
toes of his hind feet because such
horses will invariably go stiff and
lame IN time. A good draft horse must
stand fiat on the ground. His feet
must be large and his legs fiat and his
muscles supple.

ADDRESSES FIXED
BY NIKE CLERK
EXPERT IN SENDING IMPROPER
LY ADDRESSED LETTERS
TO DESTINATIONS.
MANY POSTAL PUZZLES SEEM
EASY SOLUTION AT
LAST.
Madison. July II.

Madison, July Il.
How does Uncle Sam manage &c
deliver misdirected letters, and no"
/ does he find a letter that is lost?
Ask the NIKE clerk.
| Mike clerks and NIKE mail are tWC
features of the great government
postoffice services with which the
public has little direct contact, but
which contribute materially TO Its
success. Mike letters are such let
tiers as. by reason of defective or de
fcient address, cannot Immediately
reach their destination; and NIKE
clerks, like surgeons in a hospital
are those who cut off, or add to-
straighten out, or readjust, the mai
formation of the address and send the
letter on it's way.
How the Work is Done.
When a letter fails to reach its des
tination-not more than one in 10000
does-and it is reported to the post
office authorities, thorough ana rig
orous search is instituted as II the
crown of jewels of England hao been
misplaced. 1t is done so quietly, SO
Systematically, however, that often
the complainant does not know now
| it is brought about.
A blank-form 1510-is sent to
person whose letter has gone astray
and after he has answered all the
questions, his activities cease. This
blank then goes automatically to the
"held for postage department, the
general delivery department and the
dead letter department. If it is not
found in one of these, that fact is so
stated that sticker attached to the
form sheet. Then it is forwarded to
the place where the letter is supposed
to be delivered, and all this work is
repeated.
The chances are in favor of the let
ter being found before that time, but
if it is not, the form goes on to Wash
ington is renewed in the dead letter
office. Whatever the final. result may
be, the complainant is notified and
the report becomes one of record.
Specialists In Addresses.
Most delayed deliveries, however,
are due to wrong or insufficient ad
dress and it is here that the NIKE
clerk gets in his fine work. At the
Madison office are number of dis
tTibutors who know every prominent
citizen in Madison by name, his nome
address and his business address, yet
would not recognize him if he walked
into the office. If a letter comes to
such a person, with no other address
than Madison, they know where to
send it.
Trouble comes from letters bear
ing the name of a prominent man
here as addressee and given asresid-
ing in another city. Clerks also know
the prominent men in all cities for
hundreds Of miles around. A letter
addressed to DR.. Philip Fox, Burr W.
Jones, or others of equal fame, at
Milwaukee, Beloit, GAINESVILLE or Wa
tertown. would come to Madison on
