Always quite dressy when so trimmed.
Many lace covered hats may be seen
this summer and these more OFTEN
than not will be trimmed with ostrich
plumes and next in choice probably
will be the flower decoration with
moline bow or a handsome aigrette
Both coarse and smooth straws are
to be worn and nearly every kind or
straw braid is to be found in the
fashionable colors of the season.
Nearly all the ready-to-wear hats are
of the coarser weaves, though num-
Der of erin hats pulled into odd shapes
and self-trimmed are shown also. The
black rough straw trimmed in back
velvet with a huge buckle in gold oil
flowers will be the favorite for very
early wear.

Captain Paul Weyrauch of Company
X. Second Regiment, received let
ter from Adjutant Larnping yesterday
morning in which he asked Captain
Weyrauch if it would be possible to
muster in the company now being
formed here on the night of Friday,
February %. Captain Weyrauch will
telegraph Lamping this morning that
sufficient men have been enlisted by
that time and to arrange to have his
assistant come here then. The muster
ing in Of the new company will be a
notable event. The Cantons are to
turn out in full dress uniform for the
occasion and 1t Is probable that the
uniform rank Of the other lodges will
also turn out. The company will be
mustered in in Armory hall and the
work will begin at S:15. The public
| is invited to attend.
Yesterday several men were enlisted.
! It is the aim of Captain Weyrauch to
have a full company, IS in all, to be
mustered in but this may not be tos-
sible.
AS soon as the company is muster

Captain Weyrauch is we'll pleased

lavender. This hat was to be worn
hith blue serge three-piece costume.
An idea that seems to take in milli-
nerv is the crown of flowers having a
straw brim. One such hat was of
brown straw and roses in yellow and
pink formed its crown, the front was
slightly raised and a big bow of wired
moline held it in place.
For the simple hat for which simple
trimmings are desired, fruit trimmings
are still in use, a bunch of grapes,
cherries, or plums-a very fine color
scheme can thus be carried out
Nearly always the first hats shown
are those formed nearly of flowers,
further trimmed with artistic bows of
velvet usually of contracting shade,
for instance one of pink roses was
relieved by big bow of black velvet
on the left side. A violet hat had a
square bow without ends of yellow
velvet on the right side; third hat
of foliage was slightly denied on the
front, in which was deep green vel
vet rosette out of which sprang a yell
low and brown airgrette. Many of
these flower and foliage hats have no
extra decoration and indeed need none
except that which may be given by two
ornamental hat pins.
Some of the more popular flowers
used for trimming are the iris. tulips

nature and fit so lightly that the

only when they are in immediate use.
For absolutely safe and gentle hor-
ses, the lighter the lines the better,
but for young horses and for those
that might cause trouble at any time
always use heavy and strong lines
for safety. II the lines ever break

The harness of a horse constitutes

but they should be sensible and good,
sanitary and comfortable.
A good horse always looks well eltn-

a poor horse is generally improved in
appearance with new set of good
harness. Good, clean harness not only
makes the horse appear better, but
the horse will be more comfortable and
