Democratic tariff leaders in the Senate

FOOD ostrich feathers require the
VI investment of more money than
almost any other millinery trimming,
but they last much longer. They are
always in fashion and they stand
cleaning and dyeing so that the life
of a good feather extends oyer several
years. A handsome pair of plumes Is
shown here. They are the only trim
ming required on shape, and it is
mistake to use any other with them,
unless it is little band and bow of
ribbon about the crown. This will
serve to conceal the mounting of the
feathers.
AS will be seen in the picture, the
plumes are mounted at the back of the
hat, with one falling toward the frsiit
and the other standing almost upright.
They are placed back to back.
By buying readymade velvet
shape the owner of plume, or of two
or three, may mount them herself by
going about it in the right way. 1t is
usual to first sew the wire stem of
each plume to little square or disk
Of buckram. This should be about the
, size of half dollar The stems must
be sewed securely to the buckram
with strong linen thread. When the
needle is thrust through the buckram
first, leave several inches of the
sthread free. After many stitches are
made (holding the plume securely to
the buckram), this free end is used to
tie with the remainder of the thread.
The piece of buckram fastened in
this way to the stems of the plumes
make it possible to mount them grace
fully. When sewing the buckram to
the shape an end of thread is left free
