r. HOSE who make up feathers into
i forms that are to decorate MILL
merry. look with interest upon each
wearer of plumage and each separate
feather. Many thousands of persons
spend their working hours sewing
pasting, wiring, branding and other
wise manipulating the plumage of
new forms. Each feather is regarded
with an eye to its possibilities in the
evolution of something new by the
manufacturers. Even the tiny feath-
ers from the neck of the pigeon or
peacock are handled separately, in
making up the most expensive pieces.
Just lately, large butterflies made of
these, pasted to a foundation, covered
on the outside and inside of the
wings with the tiny feathers have
made us marvel at the work of the
designers. You can imagine the
sheen of the wings and the splendor
of color. The bodies are of velvet
and the antennae Of wired chenille or
gold cord.
In Fig. 1 fancy feather piece is
shown, in which the form is purely
artificial, that Is. not made to copy
any particular natural object, but an
arrangement of piumage from differ
ent sources into an ornamental piece.
The designer must consider whether
his work is to be worn at the front,
back or sides of hat. The piece
shown is made for the front Beau

Velvet Baos.

When you gather up the scraps of
your velvet afternoon dress, don't
throw them away. Make them up into
a soft bag that should be carried with
the dress. 1t can be square or round,
and whatever other material you wish
can be combined with It. A long silk
cord, or silver or gold II you wish the
metallic note, must be attached. This
is thrown over the arm.
Beads, embroidery. little patches of
tapestry or brocades and braid or lace,
are easy ways of decorating the fat
upper surface.
Just as personal touch, embroider
your monogram in circle or diamond

The English Woman Shopping.

Eve-Up-to-Date in Times-Demo-
crat: When the English woman
starts out to shop in London she has
definite idea in her mind of some
thing she intends to buy. She goes
into shop in precisely the same
way she visits her green grocer. On
entering she knows she goes for a
pair of gloves, just as on confront
ing the grocer she is convinced that
she requires a head of lettuce or
nice fresh tomatoes.
The American woman is not near
ly so definite when she would a
shopping go. II often happens that
her financial position makes ii
necessary for her to manufacture
her own gowns and hats, 10 say
nothing of lingerie, so she very
often goes shopping to see what are
the latest styles.
With US shopping is an aIl-day af-
fair, with perhaps the larger crowd
