TAKING PLACE OF FEATHERS
Aigrettes of Wheat Just Now Are the "ReaI Thing" for a Variety
 of Reasons.

No one seems to be able to ex. plain why fashion is leaving the enor- nous aigrettes of white and black, which have been with us so long, un- less 1t is a laggard desire to be hu- manitarian- The restriction thrown around birds by the laws of the states, and the difficulty and cost of getting aigrettes. has given many milliners a good reason not. to carry them in stock. The expense of buying one is the best reason for their unpopular ity.
 The milliners, liking the effects of the aigrette, have determined to use many other materials to take its place, therefore the new hats are trimmed with silken wheat in the form of an aigrette. Some of it is in the natural color and a great deal of it is dyed to match the hats or frocks
 One sees much blue and green and purple. The green is the most popu- lar for summer use. as 1t Is re freshingly cool.

"dESE pictures of lovely bonnets

 = bonnet when the milliner makes it of her dainty and soft materials. Made of lace, chiffon. thin and lus- trous silks and straws almost as pli- able, with occasionally the sheerest batiste or Swiss embroidery, the sun bonnet almost loses it's identity. It becomes a wonderful example of mil inery art and finds a welcome in hearts already warmly attached to its plain, work-a-day predecessor.
 These elaborate pieces of headgear are only intended for occasional wear and may therefore be as fragile as any dream. They are indeed among those millinery dreams" which cost many substantial dollars; for much material and much work goes into their making.

scarfs at the Bargainilla- Jefferson was marching in the great army of the down-and-out, and waiting for a chance at Opportunity's back door.
 Jones noted the sudden thawing of Miss Gruf1ey with kindred feelings of relief and suspicion. He even failed, in his perturbed moment, to thank the lady for her loan or ask the req son of this sudden burst of confidence.
 It was a changed Jefferson who peered at his reflection in the wry mirror of his hall room. With a touch of his old pride the youth seized brush and comb and carefully worked his thick hair into a part. The black of this contrasted strangely with his blue eyes and red-touched cheeks. Jef- ferson was a good-looking man. It was no wonder that, with his easy carriage and broad shoulders, Janet Milton loved him. A photograph of her stood on the dingy dresser. and Jefferson turned to gaze admiringly at this before descending.
 The picture was done by one of the best artists in the city. One keen at analysis taking this into consideration with the party gown, the proud look of her, the daintily arranged hair of the maid would say that Jefferson Jones was ambitious; that he aspired above his station.
 Janet Milton and the Jones youth were friends of long standing. Their acquaintance traced back to early days in Rousville where Janet in pig tails. and prim, neatly-starched dresses came out of the far city, os- tensibly to visit her aunt, but in real 1ty to play with the freckled lad next door.
 It was then that Jefferson Jones had placed Janet Milton on a pedestal She was there still There would never be any other girl who could thrill Jefferson with a single word as could this maid.
 But Jones was not forward. He realized the difference in their sta lions in life. and when he came on to the city, he was content to worship from afar.
 It was different with Janet A stroll along Fifth avenue Sunday resulted in an inadvertent meeting, and. since men, young Jones had spent several evenings at the home of the girl.
 After the marvel of the landlady's loan, Jefferson Jones found his cham boP too small for his soaring spirit

TRIMMINGS THAT HAVE FAVOR
Laces of Every Kind and Description Are Among the First In Popu-
 lar Esteem.

Among the favorite trimmings are laces of all kinds, among which are Venise, Italian, filet and Milan laces. Gold and silver laces are also used on some of the more elaborate gowns Hand embroidery is much seen. A number of beaded trimmings are shown. and there seems to be a ten dency to favor large beads somewhat on the order of Indian beads, which are noted on several of the Paquin models.
 Braids of all kinds are used on tail or made suits and dresses, in various widths, in plain and fancy designs.
 Fringe, tassels and braid ornaments are also among the trimmings and arouse much attention. Silk fagoting Is used to a great extent on many of the best models. There Is also quite a liberal use made of velvet ribbon, which was employed largely for sashes, in both black and colors.
The Holbrook news., 1911-09-08

The crowns are all big and soft, supported by light wire frames. The brims are all fluffy ruff1es, varied, elaborated and abundant. Ribbons. soft and lustrous and gay, small, gar den or field flowers make up their trimmings. Gauge ribbons are often used and are in keeping with the rest of the airy fabrics Occasionally bonnet is provided with ties but the elastic fastener is used in most cases and is comfortable and secure, that is, as secure as any method of fasten- ing in use at present
 Nearly all these bonnets are made up in white, but the pale blues and pinks are not entirely neglected. It is said white ones can be tinted to pale shades, by processes known to the milliner.

It is expected that the first cable from Germany to South America will be completed during the present year. The route Is from Emden by way of Teneriffe and Monrovia; thence to Pernambuco. The new cable will serve the double purpose of connect ing the German colonies in West Af- rica with the fatherland, and facili- tating Germany's immensely important commercial relations with South America. On the purely scientific side the laying of the cable will yield a series of soundings over a tract of the south Atlantic that has hitherto been little explored Scientific Amer lean

THE TURN OF
 THE DIE
BY sTARBUcK BAXTER

AS Jefferson Jones entered his boarding house, his landlady, who had evidently been waiting for him. step ped forward and tapped him on the arm
 Jones turned, and hastily formulat- ed excuse for his lucreless state at his tongues end Then he paused and stepped to stare, surprised. In the claw-like hand extended toward him, were two bills-$10 bills ud the vinegary face of his erstwnile nemesis was slit in a maidenh.h simper.
 Take them, MT. Jones'" The voice of the virago was as soft as melting tar on a hot roof in July. Take them, dear MT. Jones. And please pardon me for daring to make such an uncon- ventional offer. but-O, am interest cd in you, dear MT. Jones, and know you are-temporarily, of course-em- barrassed."
 Jones gasped. After a slight pres sure his landlady withdrew her flesh less digits from the clammy palm of the youth and vanished into her own parlor.
  fortunate dry goods clerk, out of job. was owing this woman three weeks board, and no later than this morning he had been told that that day must either see it's liquidation, or his quittance, minus trunk, from the smelly institution.
 Going forth with a heavy heart and scant prospects he found nothing to buoy the valvular organ and his re- turn to Miss Gruf1ey's food emporium was a trip fraught with a disagree able premonition of what was to come.
 Jefferson Tones had not always been a delinquent. There had been a time not so many weeks back when he had stripped his board money from a sub stantial roll at each week end, and none had been prompter than he.

Linen Ia Cooler.

Linen sheets, on account of the tendency to withstand wrinkling and rumpling for longer time. are much cooler for use in the summertime than are those of muslin.
 Of course, the fact that sheets should never be ironed is legion, but where one cannot afford linen sheets the muslin ones can be gone over with a clean, cold iron. as this will prove to reduce the rumpling that ao- companied the desire for cooler spot on the hot nights of the middle months of summer.
