Incident Overlooked.

A New England farmer, noted for
his uncontrolled temper, became CON

A month later he was holding forth
to number OF friends and relatives
gathered at the Thanksgiving dinner
table on the subject OF his religious
principles. his entire change of char

Finally growing enthusiastic in his
description, he called on his wife to
uphold his assertions.

Feather Economies.

One of the economies which have
been adopted in Paris, to some extent,
Is the imitation ostrich plume of vege-
table silk. This Is designed to repre-
sent not only the ordinary curled
feather, but the uncurled 'pleureuse"
as well. Though it is hardly likely to
deceive the most credulous, it is quite
effective and costs about one-tenth as
much as the real article.
Another and even prettier scheme is
he ostrich plume which is fashioned
of lace of the finest and fimsiest de-
scription. This, of course, makes no
attempt to deceive any one or even
to look sufficiently like the original
to more than suggest it. Still it is
an attractive and piQuant invention
which provides pretty trimming for
a hat. and for those who cannot afford
the costly and almost prohibitive os-
trich plume it makes satisfactory
substitute.

FIscHUs IN ALL MATERIALS
Dainty Shoulder Fixings May Be
Made at Home With Compare
lively Small Outlay.

a Il H
Shoulder fixings which offer the ut
most possibilities for home making
and much elegance at small cost are
the fischus, which are now being
made in every material from dotted
muslin to satin and velvet.
One of these lovely shoulder deck
ings was shaped exactly like the
fischu mantelet of our granmammas.
1t was of thin chiffon silk in a pale
violet with embroideries of pale blue.
One slipswas of violet gauze trimmed
with blue, and the other was a little
blue batiste affair simply tucked. Tall
slim figures, or short ones, are equal
ly glorified by these dainty fischus,
which to have the real old fashioned
stamp, and, consequently, the new
one, must fall in long rounded ends
at the front. Shoulders, however,
must not be too square, or these lit
tie mantelets and draperies lose their
charm. The model of the bigger
fischu. the one that covers all the
shoulders and falls like cape at
the back, with ends in some degree
of length, offers very good notion
for the first fall evening wrap for
dressy frock. The fixing in this form
is especially adapted to the needs of
the young matron, but as indicated,
this very feminine prettiness is most
charming with sloping shoulders.

New Idea for NeqIiaees.

One of the latest fancies for dain-
ty negligee is to use two thicknesses
of mousseline or thin India silk, white
for the outside and a delicate color
underneath. They are separately
made, and are only caught together at
the hens. They are most exquisitely
elusive in the shading, and are
trimmed with five rufiles of three-inch
footing. The neck is pointed in the
front and the back. The sleeves are
rather loose and ruffied from the ell
bow to the shoulder. with the footing.
From the point at the back of the
neck there is square bow with long
ends hanging. At the front there is
Just big square bow of the same,
also edged with the footing. The
shade known as leaf-green under the
white makes an excellent combina.

I was engaged all day upon some i'm.
portant work In my Office, and had
had no occasion to see Monsieur Bois-
segur since word or so when he
came in at ten o'clock. My attention
was called to the affair finally by his
stenographer. Monsieur Netterville,
who came to me for instructions. He
had finished the letters and the am.
bassador had not returned to sign
them. At this point began an in
vestigation, Monsieur, and the further

Nov, Monsieur. there are only two
entrances to the embassy-the front
door, where a servant is in constant
attendance from nine in the morning
until ten at night, and the rear door,
which can only be reached through
the kitchen. Neither Of the two men
who had been stationed at the front
door had seen the ambassador since
breakfast, therefore he could not have
gone out that way. Comprenez? It
seemed ridiculous, Monsieur. but then
/ went to the kitchen. The chef had
been there all day, and he had not
seen the ambassador at all. / inquired
further. No one in the embassy, not
clerk, nor servant, nor member
of the ambassadors family had seen
him since he left his ONCE"
Again he paused and ran one hand
across his troubled brow.

Morgan, ssntImentaIlst.

The sentimentalist of the world OF
finance Is j. Pierpont Morgan. He
gives money widely and recklessly to
help men who think they have some
wonderful invention or other thing
that will be q sensational benefit to
the human race. A few years ago an
electrical experimenter got some
friends to obtain hearing for him
with Morgan. He had plans for the
greatest of all inventions. He had no
money himself: he had no backing.
He went away with fat check. but
returned for more again and again.
In the course of time he received
$4,000 to perfect his wonder. but II
was not perfected even then. He
made final appeal for $4,000 more.
Morgan wanted to send 1t to him. hut

arm induced the banker to shut down
on the supplies until there should be
more signs Of making good.

r. is only in recent years that Amer
leans have taken the matter of
dressing the hair into such serious
consideration, as to call upon his
tory and art for inspiration. But, once
awakened to the desirability of variety
as well as beauty in coiffures, it was
inevitable that American enterprise
should ransack the world for ideas
and win first place in the number and
beauty of the designs produced. Not
even the French excel us. For
Americans are not satisfied with arti-
fee that is too apparently artifice,
however attractive. They must have
artifice that is lost sight of in its
results. French hair-dressers, brought
to this country, have to add to their
knowledge of methods, the American
finishing touch and to learn also
to cater to individual taste They
must ring many changes on every
style
Once launched new couture
taken UP with truly American en-
thusiasm, and alasi before its course
is run, is even more than likely to be
exaggerated beyond all resemblance
to the original beautiful model, and
to loose its identity. This stage
marks its finish. But the producers
of designs, tof whom there are very
sew) are ready with something new
with the recurrence of each spring
and fall. And let no woman, however
beautiful, neglect to occasionally
change the style Of her couture or for
get that her GROWING glory has been
the admiration of men for ages.
The demure and lovely Flemish
couture came in with the spring and
soon became furore with youthful
wearers. Smooth coils of hair ar
ranged across the back of the head
and over the ears, and uncovered
brow. with hair parted in the middle

or at one side few straying curly
locks about the face, are its features.
It requires an abundant supply of nat
ural hair or the use of switches, but
is not difficult to arrange. It's latest
adaptation is the massing of soft
braided strands across the back of the
head as shown in Fig. l. The ears, as
in nearly all the newest coiffures, are
covered
The always beautiful Greek couture
is shown in Fig. 2, combined with the
Flemish, The Psyche knot is placed
low at the back of the head; two soft,
fiat coils of hair at the sides blend in
to it and cover the ears. The hair
about the face is arranged in loose
curls, confined by band terminating
in ornaments. These ornaments are
so placed as to seem to support the
coils. The hair at the top of the head
is not parted, but lies in broad
strand across, from side to side.
1t would be difficult to accomplish
this couture without the help of one
or two pieces of artificial hair made
for the purpose.
In Fig. is shown very clever
couture for one who admires. but can
not wear the palmer Flemish model;
we cannot all possess clear cut fea-
lures and shapely head In this
model, short curls fall between the
coils of hair at the sides. There Is
no front parting The hair is waved
over the head with light fringe of
curls over the forehead. This couture
is very generally becoming and there
is no gain-saying the charm of curls.
Also ian Interesting item to most
Americans) this entire couture or any
portion of it may be bought. ready to
pin on; which fact solves the problem
of either too little natural hair, or
too little time.

About two months ago my hands

with her hands. She had used Cuticura
