IN AN authoritative display Of fine
! hats it is strongly evident that the
insistent demand for fancy ostrich, in
stead of ostrich plumes, dominates
the minds Of designers. Ostrich in
new forms, in fanciful m~ontures, and
in what is generally classed as fancy
ostrich" Is used on nine out OF ten
Observation-Disclosures hats. And on
the tenth hat, If plumes are used, they
are mounted in odd ways.
Three fashionable turbans are
shown here in which fancy ostrich ap-
pears as the trimming. They are of
velvet and are excellent types of hats
that are suited to general wear, for
the velvet turban and the fancy
feather figure in all sorts Of hats.
An odd shape appears at the right,
covered with black velvet. The crown
overlaps the brim, forming a ridge
about the hat. A fringe Of white
ostrich, in which the fues are only a
little .curled, falls from underneath
the overlapping crown and covers the
brim to the edge, The brim curves
outward, forming a bonnet-like setting
for the face, and Is faced with silk.
A very tall single plume like a long.
broad quill. is mounted at the side.
Its extreme height is characteristic of
the standing trimmings on smart mil
linery for this season. Another odd
new feature in this turban Is furnished
by the band OF narrow grosgrain rib
bon which is drawn about the hat over
the top Of the ostrich fringe. The
stem Of the standing plume is hidden

under a series of little bows made Of
the same ribbons.
A plain velvet turban with indented
crown, at the center of the group, ia
trimmed with a pompon OF small os.
trich feathers, having a cluster of
standing feathers springing from it.
The 1ues are not fluffy, as In the
natural state, but are treated to make
them stringy and hairlike. Narrow
ribbon is tied about this model, COM
plotting a useful piece of millinery in
a shape that is especially well liked
by young girls.
At the left a hat of sapphire blue
velvet is entirely covered with small
ostrich feathers. They are laid side
by side fiat on the crown lengthwisei
and overlap about the side crown
and narrow-drooping brim until the;
hat is a mass of light fiues that are
sparse enough to glimpse the velvet
under them.
A narrow ostrich quill springs from
the front. This is a captivating model
suited to both mature and youthful
wearers.

A SUGAR Plant.

A herb, called by the natives can
che, but b~otanically Eupatorium re-
baulianum, grows wild in Paraguay.
1t is remarkable for its sweetness. In
deed, the native name means the
sugar plant" 1t grows along the
border Of the river Amambahi, and
attains a height Of only about five
inches. The smallest bit of this plant
when placed upon the tongue produces
a surprisingly sweet SAVIOR, which, it
is said, lasts for hours. The saccha-
rine power is much greater than that
of sugar. Recent Investigations indi-
cate that the n%ectareous element in
sthis plant closely resembles that of
the licorice root.

Astonished Minister

The proud father had come up from
the country to see his sailor son on
board his ship. He had never seen
a battleship before, and accordingly
marveled thereat. Just as he caught
hold of the two ropes which hung over
the side to assist sailors to the deck,
he was somewhat surprised to hear
a changing of bells-the eight bells
of seamen's time. AS he stepped on
deck he met the officer of the watch.
He saluted him and said, timidly:
II beg your pardon, sir, I've come to
e my son Jack, but, 'pon my word.
l didn't mean to ring so loud"

The British Tommy Atkins is hard
put to tjthese days to know which are

the allies-French, Flemish, Russian,
Servian, Indian (three brands), and
several species of English. For it
is rare that a Londoner can under
stand the Scotch dialect in its I'M

Dutch that sickles DER the Africander's

Coming Into Line.

Two smartly dressed young men
were discussing the present economic
situation with a third whose holiday
suit, struggling hair and grimy hands
betokened a holiday at some distance
from a h~airdresser's and a hasty jour
ney home.
Well" observed number one, "the
pater says it's not only sensible but
it's patriotic to economic just now,
so he and I have given up the two BIS
and the mater the two It's"

explained that the initial letters indi-
Gated respectively beer and baccy"
and "tea and toast"
Since you put in that way" said
number two, 1--WE dropped the two
'C's'-coffee and cigarettes"
The third man, evidently feeling out
of it, began to explain that he had only
just got back from the North of Scot
land and hadn't really had time, you
know, to think it out, but of course
he'd have to come into line, etc.
Don't worry, old chap" i~nterposed
number one. "You go on just as you
are, and everybody'll know that you're
economizing on the two 'S's'-scissors

on for horse theft at Cuero, Tex;
two years for forgery in western
Texas, all before he was seventeen
years old.
He went to the Pacific coast and
throughout Utah, California, Arizona
and Old Mexico he left a trail of
crime behind him.
In the Indian territory he Joined a
band Of highwaymen. 1t became
known as Bob Burton's gang.
He was finally captured and SEN
fenced to the federal prison at Leav-
enworth.
Sentenced to Death.
After gaining his freedom he settled
at Marion, Kan, with the intention of
leading a lawful life. But in 1900 he
had trouble with another MAJ named
Fred Huffman ver a girl. The man
threatened to kill him and Burton
shot him dead. He was convicted of
first degree murder and sentenced to
be hanged.
Through the efforts of his attorney,
John S. Dean, he got CT with a
21-year sentence. Gov. q. w. Hoch,
who knew him at Marion, committed
the sentence to ten years and Gov.
Roscoe Stubs pardoned him in 1910.
In 1912 he was married and located
at Hutchinson.
In Hutchinson he lived quietly, his
former career Of outlawry being un-
known. But he became dissatisfied.
At a gospel meeting when 5000 men
yer gathered in Convention hall,
Burton took the stand. He told the
story Of his checkered career, admit
ted he was a fugitive from justice
and was living under an assumed
name.
A few days later a complete par
don came from the governor Of Texas.
And since then Burton is devoting
his time to gospel team work and
fighting the dime novel.

BANDIT WARS ON

Bob Burton Lays His Downfall to

Hutchinson, Kan.-From stage rob
Der, highwayman, gambler and all
around crook to the peaceful profess
sion of a painting contractor and the
leader of a gospel team making a cru
SADIE against trashy novels is a long
cry. But Robert H. Burton of Hutch
inson has had just this experience and
he has paid the penalty for his 50
years spent as a bandit.
1T was the dime novel with it's
lurid accounts of the deeds Of the
Texas cowboys and the wild west that
led me astray," said Burton. Now
l am trying to point out to the boys
the folly of cards and booze and bad
company"
The story of Bob Burton's life
reads like a romance.
His real name was A. A.. Griffin.
He assumed an alias in his bandit
days and is still known as Burton.
His father was the editor Of the coun-
ty seat paper at Troy, Ala.
Burton decided to run away. He
robbed the post office at Troy to get
money and instead received a sen
tence of three years.
Begins Career of Crime.
With that sentence his career of
crime began. During the following
IS years he served time in Is prisons,
was twice sentenced to death and
was a fugitive from justice in nearly
every western state.
\ He was no dilettante. He robbed
post offices, held up stages, burglar
lied and robbed individuals. He
served two years in federal prison
for robbing a post office at Montgom-

arm, falling somewhat lower at the
underarm. The lace of the bodice Isl
repeated in an overdrapery. Parting
at the waist line in front it slopes to-
ward the back where it falls about
half the length of the figure.
There is a long tulle veil, falling
from under a very u%p-to-date cap Of
point lace. This is a novel method for
placing the bridal veil, and gives thei
bride an opportunity to indulge in
that ancient superstition which at
tributes good luck to her who wears
something that has been worn before.
The little cap may be made Of old lace.
It is shaped on a foundation of fine
silk-covered wire.
The arms are almost covered BY
long kid gloves. A regulation bouquet
of brides roses and lilies of the val
ley and a strand of pearls about the
neck are concessions to customs that
cannot be improved upon in the raj
ment Of the bride.

An altogether charming bridal gown,

the present mode and independent of
some traditions, is shown here. 1t Is

to belong to this or that date, but is
In good style.
This handsome costume is rather
simple in design, with trained skirt of
heavy white satin cut plain and fol-
lowing vaguely the contour of the fig
ure. It hangs from the normal waist
line and glories in an ample train Of
the rich and shimmering fabric. A
full underbodice of chiffon makes the
loveliest Of foundations for the sim
pie bodice Of lace draped over it. The
lace is shirred into slight fullness at
the shoulder seams and the bodice
closes surplice-fashion at the front.
This arrangement makes a "V'-shaped
opening at the back as well as at the
throat, which is outlined with soft
folds Of tulle.

On dairy farms where many milk

will find that they may be cleaned
easily by first securing each dish with
ashes. Rubbing over them once in
this way is sufficient; then rinse twice.
They should be washed in cold or pref

sweet and clean. The treatment will
prevent rust spots from forming and

Sew a small piece Of tape across the
corner where one usually sews on the

launder well. When soiled they can
be slipped out and there Is no sewing
or pinning when replacing them.
