REVIVE THE OLD FASHIONS
Designers GO Back to Medieval Times
for Ideas that Give an In
dlVldual Note.

Long cllnging robes Of velvet, cut
on straight lines, which were fashion
able in earlier centuries, are to be
seen again in dresses for the day
time as well as evening. Dresses Of
this type, with entire absence Of waist
line, appeal strongly to women who
like the individual note in dress.
Some Of the straight dresses recall
modes which were fashionable In
France in the fourteenth century. The
Jokes, cut out in something like a V
in front and on the shoulders, ars
made Of bands covered with embroid-
cry, and the dresses moulded to the
figure in severe style from neck to
hem have sleeves to the elbows, re-
peating the embroidered bands at the
neck.
Such a gown was seen in fashion
able New York show room last week.
Made Of clear yellow velvet, the dress
was hemmed with skunk and en-
broidered in deep tones Of gold with
q dash Of turquoise blue introduced
in the worSted girdle of deep gold,
which gave a distinctive note to the
dress. In the same show room there
was q similar gown in Jacobean Ia
pestry which had a tabller yelling Of
clear terra-cotta ninon down the front
and back.
One Of the latest gowns fro-l Paris
was suggestive Of an old fashion re.
vived, and was carried out in q lovely
shade Of hyacinth blue satin complete
" yelled with nlnon Of the same color.
This overdress was tucked and pulled
in the quaintest way, and each ruch-
ing was edged with brilliants. Above
the knees from q puhng Of ninon
there fell an edging of pearl.

might expect some such white and
fragile mass of feathery ends. Against
the rich black Of velvet in the hat, 1t
makes a superb show, startling and
new, but also elegant.
A bell-shaped hat of sealskin shows
bouquet Of short full ostrich tips in
white. There are just q dozen Of
these beauties in the cluster. Nothing
could be made more simple, but even
so the hat is unsurpassed as work
Of milliner's art. The shape is per-
feet and the decoration exactly In har-
mony. q"
A less pretentious hat Of gray felt
shows a plain fat collar of velvet and
swirl Of shaded ostrich, in which
there are glimpses Of cerise. The os-
trich fibers are long and curled at the
ends. Different tones of gray are
beautifully combined with cerise,
which appears to be yelled by them.
Less gray and more cerise appear as
the eye climbs the spiral and there is
a point Of the vivid color at the end.
This Is a fine model for a suit hat.

a BOUT as much ostrich trimming
is sold these days, made up by
~ manufacturers into fancy forms
(that is, into decorations differ
ing from the simple plume) as in the
regular ostrich plumes which We have
known so long. Nothing is or will
be, more beautiful than the full, soft,
sllghtly-curled ostrich plume, known
as the French plume, and when one is
buying good ostrich, with view to
using it for some time, the French
plume is the best investment. But
when one is looking more for novelty
than for long service, unequaled deco
rations are to be found in the dis.
plays of fancy ostrich.
Besides the new forms, the wreaths
and pompons, spirals, crowns and
clusters, fancy ostrich gives tho man
ufacturer wonderful opportunities in
color combinations and in shadings.
We shall continue to have novelties
made of ostrich stock, because Of
these advantages and because so
much stock not otherwise available
will work up into effective fancy
pieces.
Three examples are shown here OF
hats trimmed with fancy ostrich
pieces. AS a rule each piece is COM
plete trimming for a shape and simpli-
fies things for the trimmer.

WALKING for Nerveo.

The nerves suffer from want Of pure
oxygen. They run like a network all
through the skin and when they are
overweight the skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. II gives them
strength to control themselves.
II one has means or leisure. there
are plenty Of other more enjoyable ex-
ercises. But few forms are SO bene-
ficlal as the regular daily jaunt Of four
or Eve miles for obtaining q good COM

A H0ld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, In zee.
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there Is in existence q
coffee combine which e ''the most monstrous I'M
position in the history Of human commerce."
There 10 very slight exaggeration about this
statement Il comes very close to being literally
true. There IL q coffee combine In Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
IN the United States, which IL backed by the gov
eminent Of Brazil and financed by It, which COM
pelS American consumers, a. Mr.. Webb said, ito
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists.'
The worst thing about this q that the eonsum.
ers Of the United States have been compelled 70
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
- taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the full amount Of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury Of the United States
was diverted to the treasury cf Brazil The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
''valorization" plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses takes all Of the surplus crop In season Of
large yields and holds It of the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters to receive
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers Of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from US. Now Lrazl Is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con:
sumeEs to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use. What IL the remedy?-SsGttls POSt-IA-
