in the jaunty little helmet hat with
visor trent. Brought forth in Paris
and transplanted to New York, it IS
shown in the smartest OF Fifth avenue
shops. Worn at just a little angle one
can see how widely It differs from the
demure bonnet-like shapes.
1t IS a simple looking piece of mil
linery. but will bear studying The
frame is covered with white satin and
faced with black velvet. Piping cord
finishes the brlm edge and the velvet
collar and fat bow at the front. This
particular model is one of those bid
ding for favor and is a radical new de
parture Whether she will or she
won't" is the all important question.
My lady of fashion IS ready for
changes, but just what will please her
restless fancy remains to be found
out. Small, flexible hats are the most
promising for street wear They are
commendable from the standpoint Of
comfort, but their correct adjustment
will take care on the part of the wear
ors and q tendency TO lose their orig
inal lines vii have to be combatted.
In felts and velvets, as in furs, the
soft hats have body enough to remain
shapely. They are without doubt the
most successful Of new things placed
before the public.

FASHIONS FOR LITTLE ONES
In Profusion of Raiment the Rising
Generation Is Not Far Behind
Its Elders.

Nowadays they cater just as much
to the children in the matter of dress
as they do to the grown-ups, and a

of our stores today would open the
eyes of the most incredulous.
Here will be found in the greatest
profusion raiment for all ages and
sizes, from the tiniset tot just walk

her bow to society, who realizes, how
ever, that as yet there is a distinct

There is a charming litter of bas-
kets on this seasons dressing table
for holding everything that girl uses
in making her toilette. from hatpins
and pincushiOns to hair ribbons.

Gold Used on China

The newest designs in china reveal
a lavish use Of gold, not only in the
border Of the dishes, but in large
floral and conventional designs, and
sometimes combined with the flowers,
in colors, that may decorate a dish.
The patterns for the most part are
simple but striking. Among the de
signs carried out solely in the gold,
the Oriental, the Greek and the Byzan-
tine effects predominant.
The lowered china shows the grace
full garland decoration Of a happy use
of trailing vines, with a heavy border
effect. In shape, the fluted design
the fittings are widely separated-is
being greatly used.
A new ware has appeared which
will no doubt be very popular in the
odd pieces, such as sugar and creamer,
chocolate SGT or odd plates.

AE ILLINERY modes have run to the
IEe new and strange lately and the
question of what next" is asked
with an anxious tone by those who
must suit the caprice Of fashion or
lose in the business race. Just what
next no one up to this writing knows
exactly, but of one thing we are fair
ly sure, and that is, a continuing vogue
of small hats. We have come about as
close to the bonnet as we are likely to
get, and we will depart therefrom
when spring comes. But the small hat
is here and will be here for which all
those who travel in street cars and
ride in elevators or walk upon wind
swept streets, are duly thankful.
Two types, as unlike as possible. are
shown here. One is of the present
mode, fitting like bonnet and
trimmed at the back with a big rosette
Of ribbon. This is an old DEVELOPMENT
of the bonnet-turban style which is
dear to the winter girl in many vary
ing forms. This is a double coronet
brim, development of the turban, on
lines familiar, in every community
from one ocean to the other The
double coronet is by way of variety
and the draping is very cleverly ar
ranged by means of this peculiar
frame.

A pointless hatpin with interchange

that the pin will not endanger the

in reality two pins with one head, the

Dear Editor
Wishing to thank you for the
good News that l am now re-
ceiving and ask for a space in
your paper to tell the Adair
county people about this place.
This is a beautiful country, good
roads and full of good people. l
think this il a healthy country,
good water and plenty of fresh
air. The people here look like
they are healthy, some of them
are getting old. 1t is said that
there is only one grave in Ohio;
they wanted to start a grave
yard and selected one old man
and killed him to start a grave
yard.
Mr.. Obey Burton came here
from McGaha, KY, and his wife
was bothered with inconsistencies
and Obey thought she was going
to die and he took her back to
Kentucky to keep from burying
her beside that old man.
Why don't some of the Gen.
try's Mill people send some news
to me through the News. What
is the matter with McGaha,
that they do not appear in the
| News?
The missing hogs that strayed
from Elizabeth Burris passed
through Mainville, Ohio; they
have the same mark, and will
ITO pounds each.
l went hunting today, had very
good luck. | killed 9 rabbits, Z
squirrels, 2 opposums and 3 pole
cats, and it was not good day
to hunt.
l am thankful to say that
noticed in tie News that L. M.
Grimsley received a nice pump
kin on the christmas tree at
Pleasant View. Hope he en-
joyed it.
Luck to the News.
