For Girls and Children.

Nothing is better for the school frock
than the gay tartans that nowadays till
the counters in the dress goods depart
ments If the whole frock is not made
of the plaid. at least some portion of it
should brighten the inevitable blue serge
dress.
The sailor suit continues to be the lead
ing style for knockabout frocks for girls
Of every age up to the college period.
Dark red serge makes pretty sailor
dresses for the younger girls.
Satin sailor collars are worn on frocks
of dressy materials. just AS they are on
the dresses for older women.
Marquisettes and voiles and nets and
bordered fahrics-in fact. all the ma

utilized in the dainty afternoon dresses

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Are you fond of cats?
If you are, whether you are moved to
emulation or not. surely you will be in
terested to hear about the unique way in
which one woman is trying to earn her
living.
She has established what she calls her
Kermit Kattery. 1t is, as the name has
already suggested to you, boarding
house for pet cats. In addition to board
ing the animals, she also raises Persian
cats. crates cats for shipping out Of town,
gives advice as to the care of well cats
or treatment of sick cats: sells cat reme-
dies and such cat specialties as flea
combs, cat collars, cat baskets, etc
The work has not been extremely Iucra-
tive SO far. but she has reason to expect
it will be much more so in the future.
Her story of how she happened to go
into this unique work is as follows:
Some three years ago last December
a friend of mine asked me to take care of
a black Persian kitten while she went to
New York. This l agreed to do and also
to care for two of another Woman'S cream
a cat show and to comb them and brush
them into show condition. This friend
was taken sick while away at a cat show,
and late one Sunday afternoon her hus-
home with a doctor, nurse, and-tive or
six cats, And would | please take care
of the cats until she was better?
I'VE have been at the boarding bust
ness ever since, and now We feel lone
some if there are not at least twenty
cats on the premises. We have raised the
beautiful AngOras or Persians. though,
so far there has not been very much
money in that. The boarding of pet cats
whose owners want vacation or are
going to close the mouse 1or some reason
is the most profitable part of the bust
ness We have taken in some sick eats
whose troubles We're not contagious or in
fectous. and in most cases nave been
successful in restoring them to their own-
ers' arms and love.
large ward wired in with chicken wire
top and sides, and divided so as to keep
the cats separate but that expense is
practically over now.
For boarding we'll cats We have one
dollar a week: If Ill or needing extra care,
we charge two dollars
Il think that the prime requisite Tor
success in this particular business, Which
is certainly Well suited for women, is that
one must first last and all the time be
passionate lover of cats, not animals in
general, but cats as class py them-
selves.
ITO conduct a Cat boarding business
one must be ready to give up time and
sleep and to eat when cohVelieit ana noe
on time One must have plenty of anti
septics ready for instant use In case OF
bite or scratch must eliminate fear abso-
lutely from ones mind, and put away
rues cushions and all kinds of bric-a-
brae' and find ones amusement and
pleasure in the care of cats, and take for
much of ones payment the satisfaction
and pleasure that come IRON ron. knowlns

Features for Ribbons.

Even the ribbons have adopted the re-
versible idea and the smartest hat trim
mings and sashes and other ornaments
of ribbon are so arranged as to reveal
the contrasting back as well as the face
of the ribbon
Some are actually different in material
on the two sides. as in the case of the
velvet and satin combinations. A wide
velvet ribbon in blue or black or some
other Somber shade Will DC faced with
gay cerse satin or gold satin or anything
else which will make a pronounced con-
traSt
More often, however. the two sides are
of the satin or the taffeta or whatever
the material, and the difference Is only
in color. 4 girdle that appears quite
sedate in front of wide black ribbon, will
fare out in back by having the bow fash
Toned with the reverse side out, this re-
verse being of plaid or Roman stripes.
Or two plain but bright colors will be
used on the two sides.
There is one new weave of ribbon some
what like the basket braid and there is a
heavy diagonal weave which will go es-
pecially well with the rough diagonal
cheviots and serges. This is black on one
side faced with gold or red or blue or
green. Usually the edge is turned over
to show.
Another idea in ribbon making is to
have the face itself show the two colors
or the TWO 1aDflcS- good example IS
half velvet and half satin ribbon-a strip
Of each Joined lensthwise, or a velvet rib
bon. perhaps. in pearl gray, bordered on
each side by pink taffeta.
The ombre ribbon. like the ombre silk.
is in evidence, especially that kind which
shows CLEANS of gold or undertnreads of
black in changing lights.
One particularly handsome new ribbon
has soft colorings Of the Persian variety,
worked over with a fronting Of metal.
1t is very sheer.

EARLY FALL MILLINERY
OF N-COMMITTAL MODELS
First Styles of Season Are Rarely Attrac-
tive-But They Show How the
Wind Blows-Newest Hats
Prone to Smalness.

As rule the first autumn millinery
is neither attractive nor illuminating.
It does not tempt one to buy. nor does
it indicate clearly what VIII he pre-
cminently modish later in the season
1t consists chiefly of non-committal
models. made up to supply the demand
for first hats, that will replace the bat
tered and faded summer straw hats,
without being radical enough to have
an important place in the new seasons
outfit. and of extreme models designed
for the trade and calculated to attract
attention by their spectacular features,
However, the advance displays of
both spring and fall fashions are made
much earlier than they were even a
very few years ago, and we do get now

long before the strictly smart social
folk come back to city haunts. Buyers
send over at least few models well in
advance Of their own return, and. though
the woman who does not absolutely need
hat will do we'll to wait a few weeks
before making her choice. there have
been attractive models on view ever
since the middle of August. and the
number of these models has increased
day by day.
The chief impressions left by careful
study of the new models in the more
exclusive shops are of masses of droop-
ing feathers. huge bows of silk or satin

dominating features of the new mill

First hats in the fall are prone to
smallness, comfortable, practical little
shapes. not too pretentious-and, as
usual, a goodly number of such hats are
in evidence: but from the first there

dollars is no unusual price to Fay for a
single handsome ostrich plume nowadays,
and bearing that fact in mind one can
understand how some milliners can have
the courage to charge from S10O to $50
for a feather-trimmed hat Aigrets are
quite as great an extravaganza, and one
sees big hats whose crowns are prac-
tically hidden under fluffy masses of this
plunage.

height, without top heavy solidty. This
aisret trimming is also used extensively
on small shapes.
Big bows of silk or satin are the only
trimming on some very good looking tai

height had for trimming a wide white
silk ribbon encrclng the crown and a

as have been greatly worn during the
late summer season.
A majority of the large models are in
velvet, though there are a number Of
beaver and fine French felt models. An
example of a large velvet model is made
of panne velvet in the lovely new shade
of purple, the brim turned UP away
from the face at the front, and at the
right, was placed large cluster of pur-

Mr. Nevly,ced-'Yes, we've got fine little dove COTE
But it's of those swell apartment houses and they
don't allow any washing done Won't stand for the
smell and muss." 4
Anty Dr71dge-sPoor boy you must be nearly BANKRUPT
with big laundry bills. But get your wife some
FesNaptha soap and she fool the janitor. Won't
need boiling water. Just it cool lukewarm.
Rub the clothes lightly and they'll be like snow"
IF only had some place to boil them I'd
wash lots of my light clothes myself = the
laundry wears them out SO fast" said young
woman who lives in rooms.
Then she heard about Fels-Naptha.
Now she is washing those things herself,
without hot water, and doing it far better
than if she boiled them
She has found out that Fels- Naptha
cleanses things more thoroughly in cool or
f.. lukewarm water, in little time, than if they
were boiled till Doonlsday.
If you live in room, apartments or oc-
cupy whole house, take chapter out of
this young woman's experience.
Boiling is unnecessary when you use
Fels-Naptha, either in winter or summer
All that's needed is cool or lukewarm wa
ter, and even bowl or basin will do for few
things.

and was broad and nat, turning up
slightly from the face at the front. An
ostrich feather ornament of an enormous
height was the only trimming. 1t was
placed at the right side of the front OF
the crown.
Another large model of fine French felt
is also trimmed with an ostrich feather
ornament Of monumental height. The
ornament is made OF clusters of small
ostrich feather tips, wired in ladder

curves up sharply at theleft side, front,

they carry fair amount of trimming.
