Feathers and FrillS From
Ne1v York
By MARGARET MASON.

A chicken. a broiler, a squad. and a
bird, --...
Fair woman's been dubbed by mere
man.
And SO she is trying to dress for the
part
And wear all the feathers she can.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14-Any sordid,
commercial soul can feather her own
nest, but ii takes a true sartorial genius
to feather her own costume artistically.
My lady has this winter gone back
TO her old friend, the ostrich, for the
borrowed plumage. The ostrich plume
has returned with added prestige to
Its high station atop some of the very
best hats. 1t is in its new role of fringe,
however, that it tickles the feminine
fancy most Of this season.
A ravishing set of underwear, con-
ststing Of an underbodice, panties, and
a petticoat of flesh-color Pussywillow
taffeta makes good the saying. Beauty
unedorned adorned the most" devoid
as IL is of frills and furbelows. Its
hemstitched edges are finished with the
fronds and a tiny garland of French
ribbon rosebuds-one on each pantie
one on the front Of the corset cover,
and four at discreet intervals around
the bottom Of the petticoat make up
its rare simplicity.
An apricot-tinted negligee of crepe de
chine cut on loose flowing kimona lines
relies for ornament solely upon a fringe
Of apricot ostrich which borders it
around the hem, up the fronts, and
around the neck and sleeves. a coquet-
tish boudolr cap with a frill of ostrich
fringe and shirred satin ribbon slippers,
feathers around the tops, completes
this delectable set.
A perfect dream of frock which
shows the feather trimming off to ad-
vantage is worn by the prima donna of
The Lilac Domino" the first of n sea-
son Of opera comique presented by An
dreas Dippel. in New York. The dainty
gown is built of shell-pink satin and

tulle. The waist. which Is a cross be-
tween tight basque and a semi-fftted
Jacket, Is OF the satin. It buttons up
the front, and the low-cut neck is fin
ished with a fiat sailor collar which ex-
tends from shoulder to shoulder in the
rear, where there is also an upstand-
ing medical collar of the feather fringe.
The little jacket extends to below the
hips, where it ends in feather finish.
and its transparent sleeves of the pink
net are finished softly about the hands
with the same trimming. The skirt is
an ankle length accordion pleated af-
fair of the satin over which two full
fiounces of the tuIle edged with ostrich
fringe flaunt their airy charms.
AprCpos of Thespian fashions in the
window Of an exclusive Broadway shop
is displayed n gown designed for a
well-known stage celebrity noted for
her original and startling toilettes.
This particular frock consists of a soft
white blouse of china silk. with a de-
nrure little round turnover collar and
a pleated skirt of dark, extremely blue
serge, which buttons with large white
pearl buttons high up on the blouse in
extremely shrot-waisted effect. Straps
of the serge passed suspender-like over
each shoulder.
Really, it isn't SO much what they
are wearing this year that counts as
what they are not wearing. In other
words. you've simply got to take off
more than you put on if you would be
in style these evenings.
You might with perfect impunity fox
trot from the Turkish bath to the ball
room without n bit of hesitation for
some Of the smartest evening gowns

just above the bust IN the best manner
of a bath sheet as jauntily affected by
steamroom devotees. Even straps of
pearls or brilliants are becoming looked

each arm is all that keeps these less
than n-bodice-morc-than-g affairs up
above the danger line.

His Stage Hits
On the Screen.

There is every indication that it
will not be long before practically all
OF the big theatrical managers will
have what is tantamount to a mo-
ton picture department as regular
branch of their business. AS a mat
ter of fact practically all Of them are
now engaged in the motion picture
business in one way or another.
Daniel Frohman started it with the
Famous Players Company and then
Kew & Erlanger formed an alli-
ance with the Biograph Company
for the production of plays of
which they owned the copyright.
Then came the Shuberts, William
A. Brady. the formation of the
Lasky Company, and the joining of
the forces of Charles Frohman with
his brother, Daniel. David Belasco
fell into line with a working agree
ment with Lasky, and the Lieblers
also Joined the Lasky forces after
dickering with some other managers.
As a further indication of the re-
markable development of the feature
film. il is now officially announced
that two such prominent theatrical
producers as John Cort and oliver
Morosco, under the name of the
Oliver Morosco Photoplay Company,
have az last entered the film produc-
ing field, having just effected an af-
filiation with Frank A Garbutt,
vice president. of Bosworth, nc.
This is one of the most significant
alliances ever effected between i'm
portant theatrical and motion picture
interests, and attaches greater pres
tige to Bosworth, Inc, by reason of
the fact that these producers have
been approached at various times by
the leading motion picture producers
of the country with flattering offers
for a similar junction of interests.
Among the more prominent dramatic
triumphs that have been produced
by John Cort and oliver Morosco
which will now be presented to the

N the long yum and in the last analv-

especially England, has been the great
reservoir from. which we have drawn
funds to finance our various enterprises
The amount of our investments held
abroad is variously estimated at from
$4,000, 100000 to $4,000, 100000. We
have already contributed toward fnanc-
ing this war by buying back our securi-
ties and sending to Europe over $780,
100000 in gold. We may not loan
directly to any of the governments en-
gagged, but we will buy American Sc
curities sent back to us and the sellers
will invest the funds realized in their

The plan, proposed at the annual
meeting of the national committee in

effective, Mr.. Hlles said, through it's
ratification by conventions in states
which east a majority of votes in the
present electoral college, condition
to its adoption stipulated by the COM

since last December gave its assent to
the plan, except that in Texas, which
rejected it. The states which adopted
it cast POO of the total of 531 votes in
the electoral college, or - more than
a majority. Approval was given by

Mystifying.

(Randolph Herald and News.)
How and when are town representa-
tives duly elected this year. under the
changed law, in case of prolonged con
tests? 1t has been supposed that in
case of a divided field and no choice
by majority on three successive bal
lots, the candidate receiving the most
votes on the fourth ballot would be
declared elected. But this is not so clear
when the law enacted two years ago
is studied Here it is:
AT three O clock in the afternoon
on the day of a general election. the
votes given for representative shall be
counted by such of the board of civil
authority as are present. assisted by
the assistant clerk and ballot clerks
and, if no person has a majOrity of
the votes given the presiding officer
shall so inform the freemen and anOth-
er balloting shall be had. a reasonable
time only being given for receiving
and counting the votes; and ballotine
shall be continued until an election i,
made, provided that after a third bal
lot the person first receiving the larG
est number of votes shall be declared
elected.
The old law was changed by striking
out the former provision requiring that
the successful candidate must finally
receive a majority and added the
words, "provided that after a thirt
ballot the person first receiving tn,
largest number of votes shall be de
| clared elected -
| Whatever the general assembl,
meant, it did not axe its meaning
clear. These questions arise:
l. Is the person who receives tn,
most votes on the fourth ballot elected
. After three ballots and no ma
jority, is the person who received thu
most votes on the first ballot, or i
there was tie then on the second. o
if then on the third, elected withou
further balloting?
,. Is the peculiar wording of tn
clause meant merely to cover the posi-
bility of tie vote on ballots after tn.
third, requiring that balloting shall
continue thereafter until some person
receives more votes than anyone else
There is bound to be a great dea
of misunderstanding which might hav
been avoided by more attention il
framing the act. Safe to say the mex
body will be faced by many contest
on this point and will have to reenac
l the law with retroactive effect.

rels exported thus far this year great
" exceeds what was exported last year

were advancing and : would advance
steadily unless shippers should send a
large quantity of poor fruit. Mr.. Good
win said that apples brought high
price the first part of the season, as
people were afraid to export any but
the best. AS soon as the shippers found
out what the fruit was selling for in
Liverpool they sent a quantity of poor
grade stuff, which, of course, lowered
the price. The Oxford Bears Co-opera-
tive Association of Maine is shipping
its apples to Liverpool and getting top
prices for them.

Experiments With Alfalfa.
(Rutland News

The experiment of Putney farmer
in the raising of alfalfa gives encour-
agement to other Vermont farmers. In
the case mentioned there were three
separate cuttings, in June, August and
September, aggregating three and two
ffths tons from one acre of land al
falfa is one of the most productive and
money-mak king crops in several states
and from the result of the experiment
in Putney, it may be gathered that Yer
mont offers as good opportunity for this
branch of farming as any other state.

growing ought to ito something towards

The War and the Sex Balance.
(St. Paul Pioneer Press.)

NCt. dui ipHtti ItSS.J
The immediate effect of the war on
immigration has been to cut it down
immensely. What the ultimate effect
will be is now matter of speculation
among sociologists and government ex-
perts, but the concensus of opinion
seems to lie that while there may be
permanent falling off in the number of
male immigrants, there will he an in
crease in the arrivals of women on our
shores.
If that be so, it will tend to restore
the balance between the sexes, both in
the Old World and in the New. For in
Europe, wen before the war broke out,
there were more women than men, but
the terrific casualties in the bloody con
fict now ON will weight the balance
down on the side of the gentler sex to
an infinitely greater extent.
On the other hand, the United States
has an excess of men. In only six
States of he Union, including the Dis
trict of Columbia. according to the cen
sus of 1910, were there more women
than men, these being in the East and
the Old South, while in the remaining
commemorative, males were in the ma
iOrity. The disparity is most striking,
of course, in the newer and less popu-
lous States. But immigration itself is
the most potent cause of the general
excess of men, as is proved by reference
to the census. For while there was little
change i'm the ratio of males and females
among the native-born, among the for
eign-born inhabitants the number of
males per hundred females increased
from liza in 1900 to 1892 in 1910.
