trimmings or for the feather to face across the crown, if the hat is a low one. A very stunning French model showing a clever ostrich motif is il- lustrated. It will be noted that un- curled feathers are very much in the l1mel1ght, particularly in colors, whether they be high or neutral. Smart retailers report a big demand for ostrich trimmed models. Ostrich trimming always suggests a large CT at least comparatively large hat and yet this season has given us some small and medium sized ostrich hats which are very acceptable to our sight. There is for example the mar row brim high crown model, which $ at present we'll liked, and is often feather trimmed, and there are nu- merous Napoleon effects that could not be termed large in comparison with the enormous platter hats also in evidence.
 ', Much has been said and written on the subject of coral, meaning, not only the color, but the beads. It is catching the public fancy and will be fad that will last into the summer at least. The best trade do not take as kindly to the beads as do the oth- and most becoming one when judi clously used. It is good in combina- tions of blue, grey, ecru and purple and is stunning with black and white, singly or in combinations. Although the season cannot be designated as a one color season, for which the trade offers praise, it has a leaning toward coral and all warm pink shades, and toward blues and purples. Indian color1ngs, notably in straws and beads. are also enjoying a run, while there is decided reluctance to re- l1nQufsh black and white.
 Among the tailored hats there are many in this last combination fin mi Ian and black velvet, black milan and white wings, and black hemp with white if the bow is black or vice versa.
 Lengths of straw ribbon in all colors are to be bought in the retail stores-there being just enough for a bow in each length. The straw is very soft and pliable and is usually about five or six inches wide.
 Ribbon departments are showing considerable activity and some beau tiful ribbons are being shown. A very effective one about seven inches wide was @ fine faille having a veil ing of chiffon over it, leaving half inch border at either side. This, like many other fashionable ribbons, comes high, but ribbon trimmings are want ed these days and when 8 New York woman wants 8 material she usually gets it, no matter what the cost. The idea of using one ribbon over another is also good for business, to say noth- ing of being very pretty Two-faced ribbons are having a sale and make stunning bows.-The Millinery Trade Review.

WHEN MOTHER TuCKs US IN.

Last night I had a dream of home, And the loved ones gathered there; It seemed to be a summer day,
 When all was bright and fair, And in the old arm rocker sat
 My gray haired mother dear, With loving smile upon her face And love-lit eyes so clear. I dreampt I lay me down to sleep, Tn the room of boyhood days, While mother came to tuck me in In her gentle, quiet way And as she turned the lamp down low, Coming back to kiss her boy, The loving hand caressed my face Filling me with old time joy. We drift away from homes of youth, Mid scenes of beauty rare, And listen to the tales of wealth, That may wean from mothers care; But in the tolls of daily life
 Mid scenes of noise and din We lay on pillow of our choice
 While she gently tucks us in.

Attorneys for the corporation may

In that event there might be some de-

Attorney General Wickersham and
other department of justice officials
expect to make progress much more
RAPIDLY than was done in either the
Standard Oil or Tobacco cases It was
a little less than five years from the
time those cases were started until
they reached the supreme court of the
United States for decision. The SUI
preme court decision in those cases,
however is expected to expedite the
trial of the steel case.
The government view is that the
courts decision in the oil case as re-

The government purpose is to show
that the steel corporation is only

WILL BE No DELAY.
Prosecution of Steel Trust Will Be
Carried ON Vigorously.


Chicago, oct. 27.=Forner Secretary
of War Jacob NJ. Dickinson, who has
acted as special counsel for the gov
eminent in preparing the case against
the steel companies. arrived here to-
day and said that any attempt to cause
prolonged delay in the hearing of the
action would be fought vigorously by
the government. 1.-The suit VIII be
pushed through the courts with the
utmost speed he said. There will
be no delays of any kind.
The action of the board of direc-
tors of the steel company in New York
yesterday in canceI1ing certain of its
ore leases was unexpected as this was
one of the objects aimed at in the suit.
Under the terms of these leases the
steel company was required to give
two years notice of a desire to ter
inmate its contracts which would
make it impossible for the company to
vitiate the lease before 1913
If the court degree is in favor of
the government 1t will mean imneGi-
ate cancellation of the leases.
Il have been working on these cases
as special counsel for more than two
months and believe We have all the
necessary data to proceed with the
hearings Any attempt of the defend
ant companies or individuals unneces-
sarily to prolong the hearings Will be
fought vigorously by the government.
Il do not expect to confer with
President Taft nor any of the mem hers
of his cabinet while here. but will re-
turn to Washington Saturday night or
