THE liking for feather trimmings
keeps growing, and manufactur-
ers keep pace with 1t by turning
out more remarkable feather
work than has ever been shown in
the past. What with color combina-
lions made possible by "willowing"
ostrich, and the furore which has de
veloped for the softest and fullest
marabout effects, and combinations of
ostrich and marabout, there is an un-
ending variety in these plumages. But
It would seem every bird of the air
has been called upon for inspiration
II not for feathers. In reality only a
small proportion of the bird tribe are
killed solely for pluInage, and many
lovely fancy feathers are made from
the feathers of domestic fowls. These
feathers are in themselves beautiful.
But the demand for variety and the
availability of feathers from the tur-
key, pigeon, peacock and plain, every
day chicken has made the designer of
feathers work wonders with their
plumage.
Many of the daintiest and most
fragile looking feathers are really

COMING STYLE IN TRIMMING
Some Cardinal Points That Are Sure

If you propose to trim your fall hat
yourself, you cannot go far wrong if
you place a pert pair of wings or a
sharp pointed bow directly at the
back, and the back trimming must
show a trifie above the high crown.
from a front view. Many of the hats
may be reversed and worn any way
that proves becoming. For example,
the smart little hat of velvet with
rolled b~fm faced with a lighter col
pred material and having a pair of
Mercury wings directly in front, might
be whipped around the other way If
one desired. so that the wings would
come at the back and the hat would
be equally modish and correct. This
hat has the very tall pointed '.tor-

arown with flecks of coral pink color

pleaded:

With an earnest effort to turn her
mind to lighter view of things, Har
ry asked.
SO you regret it,"
Il do-very, very much
Then, If you regret it very, very
much, I'll forgive you this time,' he
laughed, seating himself and taking

She took her hand away quickly and
jumped to her feet In indignation.
How can thee jest at such mo-
ment?" she cried.
He rose and followed her.
Il shouldn't have jested," he said,
humbly. Lucy, you are not a city
girl-and I'm glad of it-but you are
apt to judge things too much on ap-
pearances."
Lucy turned and looked at him with
a pathetic seriousness in her eyes.
Until this morning, Harry she
said, Il wanted to be a city girl. L
thought the little town where have
lived was a pitiful place."
But it had you in it, Harry re-
minded her, gently

closed her window.
A young couple came walking slow

Pigeon and Carolyn. The twilight
spell had been cast upon them. Arm

they neared the bench.
Suddenly Pigeon said:
