MIS-. Hammond says, an evening gown
or any entertainment which would re-
quire one was something quite foreign
to their mode of living in the great
gold and silver mines of California
and Mexico.
However, Mrs. Hammond returned
to civilization and royal drawing
rooms and distractions Of this nature,
she made up for times when her ward
robe consisted only Of a few simple
house dresses and a stout riding suit
worn on the long trips from the rail-
road through lonely and dangerous
mountain trails to the mining camps
with her small children.
The court gown to be worn by Mrs.
Hammond at a special drawing room
two days before the coronation will
be a magnificent affair of robin egg
blue brocade. The material Mrs.
Hammond purchased at Moscow last
winter. when Mr.. Hammond had an
audience with the car.
The beautiful satin brocade was
woven on the same loom used to make
the coronation robes of Catherine the
Great and the czartnas succeeding her.

reluctantly parted with our almost
peerless stallion. Star No. 1926, that

blood to "Star" No. 1926. Although
dale" was placed second to that
pleasing winner in the show ring, he is
superior to him in some points. Both
of these stations have been tested
as to breeders on our North Star
Farm, and in the aize and quality OF
their colts from the same mares, they
are about tie. If any difference
''Dale" has it on Star.
Dale's fee is SIS 90 to insure a live
colt. Care will be taken to guard
against accident. but all mares are at
owners risk. Owners of mares who
dispose of or remove same from the
community will be held for service fee
unless satisfactory evidence of not in
foal is produced.

New York shoe experts declare that
