HUMBLE "BIDDY" BEST
IN THE END, MORE PsoFlTARLE
/ THAN THE OSTRICH.
Figures Would Seem to Show That
Bird Of Prsxed Piumage Is Prime
Investment, but There Are
Drawbacks.

No, she IS not one OF the 10000
biddies we sometimes read about, espe-
cially when 1t comes to laying eggs.
She Is any one of the several thou
sand ostrich hens that may now be
found in some of our western states.
You can figure 1t out for yourself. An
ostrich hen, good" one, will lay
about 100 eggs year, and each egg
contains as much food-material as 80
ordinary hens eggs. That gives the
ostrich credit for furnishing egg-food
amounting to 1900 hens eggs per
year.
But let's not all go into the ostrich
business. There are several draw
backs. One of them is that 1t costs
twenty dollars year to keep an
ostrich, OF thereabouts, and they do
not begin to lay until they are four
years old. Then there is the first cost
no little item, as six-months-old
chicks are worth 500 each, while
birds old enough to begin laying cost
$500 a pair. Rather. they are held to
be worth that, as the ostrich breeders
will seldom sell bird at any price.
There is also the Inconvenience of
handling. The kick OF an ostrich will
discount any exercise Of mules hind
legs about 100 per cent, and they are
said to be far from sweet-tempered,
especially during the plucking season.
Being eight feet tall, an ostrich that
got really out Of patience at q person
would be rather more difficult to
handle than a mad sitting hen, and
most Of US find the latter lady al we
want to tackle. On the whole, per-
haps we would be wiser 70 stick to the
barnyard biddy for ordinary purposes.
though the beauty Of the aristocratic
Mr.. Ostrich should prove great temp
tation to desert our FIRST love.
Then, too, the Lady of the Plumes
is, If the truth were told, rather lazy.
She does not even lay her eggs In
the nest her mate has carefully pre-
pared for her half the time. She
leaves them scattered about just as 1t
happens, and her patient consort has
to roll them into the nest himself
Then, too, he gets most Of the sitting
to do, as his proud wife refuses to do
nest duty except for little while in
the daytime
Often incubators are used for
Matching the ostrich chicks, and then
there need be no family quarrels on
the subject. The incubators used must
be peculiar in construction, as one Of

| HAIR ORNAMENTS
| OF RICH DESIGN
| In FAVOR TODAY

- HERE Is no abatement In the Tx
4 ing for ornaments for the hair.
There is a good deal OF talk about the
return OF the high couture, but the last
few years have shown women the beau
ty of wellchosen, and well-designed
hair ornaments, and no couture can
put them in the background without a
good deal Of q struggle.
The famous French dressmakers,
realizing the scope their genius might
have in hair ornaments, have turned
their attention to designing some OF
much beauty.
One ornament that makes use of the
butterfly is made Of tiny black jet
disks mounted on black wire. The
butterfly measures about four inches
from tip to tip of his half-opened
wings. He is perched on a bandeau
made Of the little jet disks strung to-
gether solidly-a bandeau about two
inches wide. The butterfly Is perched
at the base of a full back aigrette
made up of half a dozen tall, slender
spikes
Another butterfly Is made il rides
cent pink sequins. This butterfly is
bigger than the black one described.
Each wing measures q couple OF
inches. But It is SO graceful in color
and form that it is in no way too
heavy for the hair It adorns. It is
fastened to q twisted ribbon bandeau
studded with the pink sequins.
Above the butterfly rise three tiny
pink plumes, deeper st the tips than
at the base shading from pale blush
pink to deep rose. Whether plumes
as hat trimming gain great favor or
not this season-and Paris has been
trying to reintroduce their use on hats
they doubtless will be much used
for hair ornaments.
The American shops show their hair
ornaments Of good design and little
cost their appeal to the average wom-
ans sense Of economy, as well as to
her sense of beauty. The most Of
fective of these ornaments are doubt
less either black, white or black and
white combined rhinestones for the
ornaments. Nowhere in women's
dress does 1t look SO graceful and
suitable as on her hair. It's lightness
and deiicacy make it a fitting crown
to dainty couture.
Jet and rhinestones combined are
brilliant in effect. One especially
good ornament shows good-sized
rhinestones arranged alternately with
cut jet beads of the same size. They
are set in a platinum band, in three
tiers, and the band is made to extend
all around the head Where it fastens
on the left side there is soft, fluffy
group Of white feathers of almost
downy appearance and texture.
A dainty ornament for a young girl
is made Of silk apple blossoms and
pink aigrettes. The ornament is
thrust into the hair at a smart angle

Eur Chin Strans.

The mode for wearing chin straps
of silk or velvet with the small hats
of the present day has been in vogue
for some time, but among the latest
arrivals in the millinery world are
wide brimmed velvet hats trimmed
with bands of fur, other narrow bands
of fur being brought down from the
sides to fasten beneath the chin. One
model, for instance, was of brick red
velvet trimmed with skunk, with q
skunk chin strap attached to the brim
beneath knot of brio red velvet rib

the purpose, but its peculiar yellow

the shops In profusion, come In for
much consideration also.
The three hats shown here are fine
examples Of the newest modes. They
are rather small, but are not worn as
low on the head as our winter hats.
They fit snugly and may be kept In
place without pin.
Among the new models are shapes
that are worn at quite a tilt to the
right. Others set almost squarely on
the head, but dropping close-itting
brims at the right, which curve up
ward at the left, give them the ap-
pearance Of being posed at rakish
angle. This pose carried to the ex-
IRENE, almost covers the right eye.
Those who are inclined to be face
tioHs declare that the right eye is not
being worn at present. The poise of
the hat is thing to be decided by
individuals for themselves. There are
hats for those who Hike the straight
pose and hats for those who Ike the
tilted pose. In selecting one the idea
OF its designer should be considered
