~ VERY season brings out many
A things new and strange in fancy
feathers. AS a rule these feath-
err pieces are beautiful because
the feathers from which they are
made are beautiful, to start with, and
because the designers of feather trim
mings work with great enthusiasm.
A successful piece means great de-
mand which spells profit for the
manufacturer. Then, the variety and
beauty of the markings in natural
feathers, and the wonderful changes
which can be made in them by proc
esses of bleaching, dyeing and piec-
ing make possible an inexhaustible
variety Of design.
Makers of fancy feathers govern
themselves, in a measure, by the hat
shapes which prove to be popular.
They follow the lead of fashion in

WHITE HAVING GREAT VOGUE
Striking Novelties Shown in ThiO
Most Approved of All coIors for
the Winter.

Among the most striking novelties
of the season are the gowns and tail
ored costumes of white corduroy,
cloth or serge. While corduroy suits
are made with little trimming other
than buttons and clever manipulations
of the material itself. Little panels III
which the thick ribs run horizontally
make surprisingly effective decora-
tons. On the cloth costumes corduroy
is often seen in collars, cuffs and but
tons. Among the more unusual white
cloth suits is one with bands Of wide
black silk braid running straight
around the skirt and sleeves and
adjoining the large collar and revers.
One of the handsomest of the white
cloth gowns has a plain skirt, with a
row of buttons of the same material
down the left side. Although the lines
of the skirt are of the straightest and
it has the appearance in front OF be-
ing almost extremely narrow, there is
single big pleat in the back that
gives it considerable actual width.
The waist of the gown is Of coarse
! handmade lace, with a wide collar
and cuffs of the cloth. There is a
rather wide, shaped, stitched cloth
| belt, which is broken In front by the
lace of the waist coming over it. A
! little satin vest and a stock, cascade
and undersleeves of fine creamy lace
complete the dress.

Tailored Suits.

The skirts of tailored costumes con
tinue decidedly narrow, although suf
ficient fullness is allowed to give am
pie room for walking. The new jack
cts, with slightly cutaway fronts, eX
tend just to the hips at the sides and
a little longer in the back. The adj
vent of longer jackets, cut half and
three-quarter length, is rumored from
abroad, but for the remainder of this
year at least hip-length Jackets are
considered the correct length.
Silk velvet is used for facing the
deep collars, wide revers and cuffs, in
many instances forming simulated pet
ticoat effects at the lower edge of the
skirt. The regulation coat sleeve
trimmed with a three to five-inch turn
back cuff, is the RUE, the kimone
sleeve being confined to the extreme
ly dressy type of suit.-HarperG

today hat the damage caused by
the hail n wind storm which swept
the southern part of Sussex county
on Monday evening Will amount to
more than 800. Oo0-the amount
which, ii was first thought, would
cover the damage.
A remarkable feature is the fact
that no one a killed or badly in

day from the storm-stricken sections
give graphic accounts of the havoc
wrought.
The force and size of the hail was

STATES POSITION
ON PANAMA CANAL
Secretary of War Stimson Asks
Congress to Fix Toll
Rates.

WASHINGTON. July 31.-Secretary
of War Stimson, in a statement is
sued last night and in a letter to Rep
resentative Adamson, chairman of the
House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. made clear his po-
sition with regard to the present and
future status of the Panama Canal,
its tolls and the general waterway
question throughout the United States.
The secretary said he would like a
year in which to change the present
constructive force at work on the
canal into an operating force; that
he desires authority to build dry
docks and has asked Congress for
this power. and that he wishes Con-
gress and the Canal Commission to
announce the maximum and mini
mum tolls which ships will have to
pay to pass through the canal. These
provisions, the secretary considers,
are essential to the DEVELOPMENT OF
the canal and the proper use of its
great natural advantages.
In answer to the charge hal he s
lAol WI hlHS III dCCOIu WIFI the ITtS5-
dent and Colonel Goethals in ques-
tions of the construction and gov.
ernment of the canal Secretary Slim
son declared he has been working
and will continue to work in perfect
accord with them. and referred those
interested to the President for con
firmatioil.
The secretary of war also appealed
to Congress through Representative
Adamson for a clearer definition of
his powers in demanding compensa-
ton from improved dam sites and
slack water improvement along
several inland waterways. His letter
concluded with an appeal for imme-
date Congressional action in this
matter and a warning against uncer-
tainty and ambiguity in p~hraseology
of the statute.
