LOCAL MILLNERS
RETURN FROM PARIS
Buyer and Designer for Philippsborn's
Millinery Department Had Thrill
ling Experiences Abroad.


When Miss Madeleine Mueller and
Miss Louise Kelley, buyer and designer
for the millinery department of II.
Philippsborn and Company, took passage
on the Olympic the 10th Of July for the
purpose of selecting fall models in for
eign capitals it was with no conception
of the sort of thing through which they
would have to pass before the time Of
their return.
Arriving in Paris they at once began
TO study the workmanship Of foreign
artists, and to copy the most exclusive
chapeaus on view, which was fortunate
thing. for had they followed the pursuit
Of pleasure first leaving the business
end of their trip abroad until later In
the summer they would have returned
empty handed, whereas the pursuance of
the wiser plan means that the fall milli-
merry opening at Philippsborn's, which
will take place the week of September IA,
will find accurate copies OF the most ex-
elusive Of Paris styles on exhibition.
Misses Mueller and Reillsy recite many
stirring experiences and adventures IN
cidentaI to their return from the war
stricken land across the sea.
For two weeks in France, prior to their
return. they had no food save bean soup.
and when at last they thought they had
secured passage to America and were
asked for their passports, which they
had neglected to get. they we're held two
days until they could be identified as
Americans. at the end OF which time
they were grateful enough to book as
steerage passengers on the cargo ship
Chicago, which was intended TO sail for
Quebec, but which was pressed into pas
senger service. arriving in New York
harbor August 90.

Her Birthday and Yours
ELIZABETH SHERIDAN.


1t would be hard to find a woman who
received such unqualified and general
praise from her contemporaries. as did
Elizabeth Ann Sheridan, the wife of the
dramatist, Richard Sheridan. Apparently.
to see her was to become her admirer.
and a most ardent admirer at that. She
was born September 8. 1754. in Bath,
England. Her father was a music COM
poser. and Elizabeth was at a tender
age taught the art of concert singing.
When she was thirteen sne sang at
buckingham Palace for the King and
Queen, snd the King said at that time
that he had never heard so fine a voice
or one so well trained as hers. About
the same time Bishop Heath, a venerable
ecclesiastic, met the young singer and
declared her to be the connecting link
between woman and angel" Horace
Walpole, whose praise Of women was not
usually very great, placed her above all
living beauties. Meantime Sir Joshua
Reynolds had seen her and had secured
her services as model for his St. Cecilia,
and later for the virgin in his Nativity.
All this time Elizabeth was singing in
concerts in her home in Bath and natu-
rally her suitors were numerous. One
army officer especially was objectionably
persistent and it Is SAID that it was in
order to avoid his attentions that she
planned to leave Bath to go to board in
convent in Lille. At any rate, the
dramatist Sheridan urged her leave Bath
and to accept his services as protector on
the journey Elizabeth followed his sug-
gestions and her escape from Bath has
been called an elopement and probably
was so regarded by her family, who did
not favor her marriage with the young

dramatist. Sheridan's family were no
more eager for the match, but they were
finally married in the spring of the next
year and it can be truthfully said that
they lived happily ever after"
After her marriage. Mrs. Sheridan gave
up professional singing, although she was
always glad~tO sing for her friends
When Sheridan became manager of the
Drury Lane Theater Mrs. Sheridan enter
ed into the work with him with the great
est enthusiasm and kept accounts for him
and later attended to the detail of reading
manuscripts Of plays submitted to Sheri-
dan.
Mrs. Sheridan was only forty-eight
when she died. 1t has been said that
never did any woman so remarkably COM
bine virtue talent and extreme beauty as
did she. She was subjected to the great
est temptations both before and after her
marriage, but her devotion to Sheridan
was complete. The Duke Of Clarence
fairly prosecuted her with his attentions
and 1t has been said that she was the
only for whom that distinguished gentle
man ever sighed in vain"

All fine. long-haired fur is more fragile
than the furs Of sturdier character. This
applies to lynx and various kinds Cf fine
haired fox. -hich, in spite Of their great
beauty, are not a good choice for a wom-
an who must wear her furs long and
hard.
In selecting a fur set this year the
best thing to do is to select a mum OF
good size and a neck piece OF the
''choker'' type This sort Of neck piece
gives promise OF being much in vogue.
With the open neck blouse il is exceed

very much less fur than a stole or scarf.
II is much less expensive than other sorts

made at home from a worn piece of fur.
piece OF fur three or four inches wide
and eighteen or twenty inches long can
be converted into an attractive little
choker by the addition OF a ruching
made from pleated black ribbon at either
side of the fur. A br-id button or heavy
braid frog can be used at the closing
and the addition of a small artificial
flower at one side OF the choker will add
an interesting touch.

EMBROIDERY-BAG ACCESSORY.

How many times have you been jabbed
yes, 'jabbed"-by the points of your
sharp embroidery scissors when you've
reached in your embroidery bag for some-
thing?
1t is strange how often the annoying
little accident occurs without inducing, by
its frequency. the jabbed one to employ
safety device. A very simple way to
prevent the jabbing is to stick a cork
upon the end of the scissors when you
have finished using them; but a far
prettier way. which answers the same
purpose effectively. is to incase the scis-
sOrs in small scissors case. This case
can be made at home. The case can
be made any size that you desire, but a
very convenient size measures, when
closed, 31-2 inches in height and about
2 l-2 inches in width at the widest part
When closed the case resembles in shape
a piece Of pie. only that it is slightly
rounded at the point There is a flap
rounded at its point also. which. when
opened, causes the length Of the case
to be seven inches.
One tapered piece of linen is cut seven
inches in length. while the piece with
out the flap, forming the front of the
case. is only . l-2 inches in length These
are Joined to form the scissors pocket"
They are stitched together on the ma
chine, and then the edges are button
holed in any color Of silk that you fike.
The flap, too, is buttonholed at the
edges. Upon the flap is embroidered
conventional wreath or any other pretty
little design that you would like. If
wreath is used. an initial may be en-
broidered in its center
Make the case Of some heavy material,
such as heavy linen, so that the points
of the scissors will not readily pierce
it. 1t is an excellent plan to line the
embroidered scissors case with suede
leather or chamois. Such a Protector
will mean no more Jabbed fingers for
some time to come.

AMONG THE FLOWERS.

II will soon be time for the lover OF
flowers to pick the seeds for next year :

with the preparation Of seeds this infor-
nation may prove helpful.
Toward the end Of the towering season
Of each variety allow =. few of the finest
specimens to go TO seed II allowed 70
seed during the blossoming period the
seeds will absorb 4 great portion OF the
strength of the plant and the howers
will not reach as great a STATE OF per-
lection. Sweet-pea PODS should be picked
as soon as they turn yellow, for II al
lowed ia remain too long upon the vines
the pods will burst and the seeds Will be
lost. Spread the pods on PAPER or on
trays, and, when the pods have burst,
collect the seeds, and when thoroughly
dry, so that there is no danger Of mold
ing, place in a glass jar until planting
time.
Nasturtium seeds should be picked as
soon as they begin to turn yellow; and
they too. must be spread out to dry.
Tor they will mold readily II not proper
" dried. Pack them in a jar or tie in
packages until needed.
Smaller seeds, such as appear on pop
pies, portulaca, lady-slippers, and morn
ing gIories, should be watched very close
ly, for when the seedpods burst they
scatter and are lost Pick the pods when
the seeds are full grown and spread out

the seeds. These can be placed in bot
ties or envelopes.
The seeds OF the ragged sailors, mari
Colds and zininias. are winged and go
flying "over the hills and far away il

Just as soon as you notice that the
calyx containing the seeds-has dried
is the time to pick them. not moment

LOw-growing plants such as sweet alys-
sum and candytuft, have very small
seeds. and they are difficult to collect.
The seeds form az the base OF the flower
spikes long before the tops have ceased
10 bloom. When they appear dry and
yellow. place a paper beneath the plant
and shake each flower spike until il
yields its shower of seeds. When thor
oughly dried. store the seeds in bottles
or envelopes. Label each variety plainly.
so that when spring comes you will not
be puzzled to distinguish the different
flowers.
II you have been successful in growing
certain varieties. by all means collect the
seeds not only for yourself. but for your
friends as well. They will greatly appre-
ciate a packet Of seeds from your garden.

HOROSCOPE.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER o, 1s1


THE stars incline, but do not compel"
This is one of the troubled days in
which maIefc influences from the stars
operate upon the affairs Of men. Ac-
cording to the reading of astrology
Uranus, Mercury and Jupiter are all in
adverse aspect.
Speculation is subject to the most un-
favorable conditions. While 1t is safe
to sell in certain instances. whatever
has in 1t the element Of chance should be
avoided.
The omen is not encouraging for trav-
elers who seek gain through journeys,
the seers declare. Danger from cleo
tricaIIy propelled cars is believed to be
increased during this government Of the
planets. Railway accidents have been
so frequently foreshadowed that wise
men and women are warned to be eau
tious.
Persons who have contracts or leases
to sign should wait until a more propi-
tious aspect rules. Conditions today
make for disappointment and breach OF
faith.
It is not a lucky day for dealing with
bankers or for making any financial ne
ers and bondsmen should be postponed.
There is an unfortunate aspect for
risky ventures or games OF chance. The
rule is held as encouraging misplaced
confidence, dishonesty and wrong judg-
ment.
While this configuration prevails It is
well to keep from petty worries and to
avoid noticing trifling annoyances, as
the sway Of the planets islikely to pro-
duce undue sensitiveness and irritability.
As the aspect is believed to affect the
stomach and bowels, II is wise to be ex-
ceedingly careful in diet and in the Sc
lection of drinking water.
Quarrels and misunderstandings among
political leaders are foretold. These will
be more numerous than in previous cam
paigns. A man conspicuous in public af-
fairs VIII lose many friends and party
allies.
The State Of Nebraska is subject to
conditions that will cause many surprises
in the fall elections, according to the
reading Of astrologers.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the
omen of change and anxiety for the COM
ing year. Both men and women will
travel more than usual Loss of money
through speculation is a probability.
Children born on this day are likely to
be selfish and careless. They should be
trained in economical habits. These sub
jects of Virgo have Mercury as their
principal ruling planet. Many of them
have talent for artistic pursuits.

HOW TO SELECT FURS.

The woman Of limited income should
never select a fur that is in fashion.
There is already promise that this winter
blue fox and kominski. fitch. and mon
key are to be prime favorites OF fashion
Therefore il behooyes US women OF lin
tied incomes to turn our thoughts on the
less fashionable peIts. The good speci-
mems Of these highly favored furs will be
very expensive, and the less expensive
pieces Of these varieties will be sure to
be inferior or limitations. Indeed. goat is
already used as a substitute for the ex-
ceedingly fashionable monkey.
Another thing that the women Of limit
ed income should think Of in buying fur
is the relative durability of various furs,
for a mum and collar should be vice
able for three or even four years II II
does not receive very rough wear. and
one OF the less durable pelts. such. for
instance as moleskin. Is not durable
enough to last through the first season
without signs of wear. Therefore, no
matter how pretty these fragile furs may
be We should leave them for our wealth.
Ter friends.
Another thing in selecting furs that are
to wear a long time is to avoid any eX-
treme shapes. This year there are sew
eral new sorts Of pnuffs. the pillow mum
and the mel mum, and these we should
avoid, keeping rather to a fairly large.
broad, fiat nun that will probably be as
much in vogue three years from now as
II is at present. although the melon mum
will no doubt look decidedly out OF date
by that time.
OF all furs. the otter and the sable are
the most durable, but these furs are of
prohibitive cost. Among furs of good
lasting qualities which are within the
reach of women of moderate incomes are
the skunk mink, lamb. and caracul.
Mink is. to be sure, expensive. but unless
1t looms suddenly Tito fashions favor. It
need not be disproportionately expensive.
Caracul is a fur that is an exceedingly
good choice for the woman who has to
keep her dress allowance down. 1t is
