But no Hobble Skirt,

New York, Sept. "a. - G. POINTER
Redfern of Paris London, Nice and
New York came in yesterday on the
White Star liner Adriatic with his
mind made up that a winter crop of
sprained ankles would not be laid to
the dressmaking house of Redfern.
To the rag bag or comic opera with
the hobbles-knee, semi-knee and
ankle-so far as Director Redfern is
concerned. It's not of your ankles
he would have you think, but of your
backs. No, shoulders will not do.
"Velvets," he SAID sweeplngly, wnen
asked what the well dressed woman
would wear this season. "Nelvets on
the street, indoors and in the evening.
Many cloaks will be of velvet and
there is never anything handsomer for
the woman of good figure than the
velvet gown. The newest colors will
be the violets, in anticipation of the
coming coronation. Velvet next the
skin gives a soft and beautiful effect
and the gowns will be cut low, yes
very low in the back"
He did not explain how low, eX,
cept by a general wave of the hand
downward But an obliging woman
who showed some of the exquisite
gowns did.

out tremor.
But this back cut is the only ex

Nothing except freak" he said
of the present hobble skirt. "The
wearing of it is simply lot of mad
people following one mad person.

say Gravel is Too Fine.

The two large hills Of gravel which
have been deposited on Second and
Fifth streets by Robert Klug who got
with gravel for the paving, will prob
ably be condemned, according to re-
ports among officials of the contract
company and the city council. The
gravel, they say, is too fine. 1t is more
like sand, they say, and cannot be
to be put beneath the bricks. Mr..
Klug declares he believed he was fur
Fishing the gravel according to the
specifications. In case the gravel now
here cannot be used MIR. Klug will be
forced to take it out of the way to
make room for other gravel
In the meantime, the hauling of
gravel has ceased and that part of the
work is at standstill.
Relief, however. looms up from the
recent reported purchase of the Wag-
her gravel pit by Klug & Heckcndorf,
who, it is reported, have paid $500 per
acre for the twenty-acre gravel pit.
The contractors have looked at the
gravel of this pit and will probably
contract with the new owners to fur
LiSh the gravel.
The laying of the concrete curbing
will be done by the Katz-Craig com.
pany, who yesterday put large force
of men to work constructing wooden
forms for the curbing. The large con.
crete mixer will soon be put to work
and as much as two block lengths OF
| the curbing will be laid in one day.

HATS ARE LIKE GARDENS.
Flowers Are to be Much Used for

Flowers Are to be Much Used for
Trimming Purposes.
New York, Sept. 24.-The flowers
that adorn the autumn hats are hard
ly less bewildering in their number
and variety than were those that
bloomed in the woods and fields in
the season just departing. On wide
hats large blossoms, such as clematis,
peoples and peonies are frequently
seen, although they are by no means
confined to the more expensive head
coverings.
One hat that was a dream of color
had its crown covered with pink peon-
les in which were all the shades of
tone natural to these splendid flow
ers, and the wide undulating brim was
of velvet that matched their deepest
tone. Another large hat-of gold net
this time-had large silk flowers in a
dull grayish brown laid around on its
brim. This made very somber COM
hinatiOn, for the fashionable gold it's
sues have none of the glitter one u.s.
ually expects to find on this most
precious of metals. For touch of
brightness small bow of blue satin
ribbon was dropped among the flow
ers in way that suggested a beau.
tiful butterfly fluttering about in a
garden.
AS a result of the present fancy for
black and white, black velvet hats
are often wreathed with snowy bios
SONS that form their sole trimming.
Among the flowers used for this pur.
pose is clematis, made of an exceed.
ingly fine chenille braid which pro-
duces a frosted effect almost too
chilly to be endured when the ice
and frost of Nature have actually ar.
rived. Nevertheless, with the warm
colors of autumn as a background, it
is most effective. Clematis made of
other materials, with petals, stamens
and anthers of the most exquisite deli.
cacy is also seen.

Neigh game is always a good one.
The Girls Athletic association have
organized four basketball teams, the
senior, two junior and the freshman.
The seniors and one of the Junior
teams played Wednesday night with
a score of . to 2. 1t is hoped more
interest will be taken in basketball
than ever this fall.
The closer relationship existing be-
tween the rural schools and Norfolk
high school is shown by the number
of tuition pupils attending this year.
Norfolk schools are proud of the
number of prizes carried off by their
pupils in the school and home garden
exhibits at the Madison county fair.
Miss Alphena Peterson, who has
taught science in the high school for
the past two years and who is now
teaching botany in the Sioux City
high school, visited in Norfolk last
