TravestY on Real Ealstaff.

Yarmouth has a claim upon all Eng
lishmen quite independently of its as
sociations with the breakfast bloater,
remarks a writer in ST. Nicholas. For
1t was the home of Shakespeare's Fal-
staff, who appears to have been a man
of exemplary piety. The Falstaffs
were an old Yarmouth family.
"A Falstolfe or Falstaff," writes
John Richard Green, was bailiff of
Yarmouth in 1881. Another is among
the first of it's representatives In par.
Lament, and from that the members
Of that family filed the highest mu.
iilcipal Offices. John Falstolfe, man
OF considerable account In the town,
purchased lands at the close of the
fourteenth century in Castor, and be-
came the father OF Sir John Falstolfe,
who, after a distinguished military ca.
reer, was luckless enough to give his
name to Shakespeare's famous char.
acter. In Yarmouth, however, he was
better known as benefactor to the
great church of st. Nicholas.

Dog Knows Bad From Good Coin.

San Gregorio, Cal, has a dog, says
the San Francisco Chronicle, which,
with the exactness OF banker, can
detect the difference between the ring
OF genuine and counterfeit coin. A
few weeks ago some hunters threw
some coins on the counter of John
Marshal's hotel. Marshall did not
quite like the sound OF one of the dol.
lars. Calling in his dog, he placed
him on the counter The dog care.
fully picked up with his mouth four
genuine coins and took them to his
master, and left a counterfeit dollar
on the counter.
Hearing that his dogs ability was
questioned, Marshall put the animal
to series of difficult tests recently
in the presence Of several coastside
citizens. Not in single instance did
the wonderful dog fail to detect a
counterfeit coin. The final test was
to nail genuine and counterfeit dol.
lar in separate cigar boxes. After
shaking each box furiously, the dog
chewed open the box containing the
genuine coin and took it to his mas
ter.

TO MEET the flying SHOWS that can
4 do them little harm. fur-trimmed
and all-fur turbans and larger hats in
which fur is conspicuously figured,
have been warmly welcomed by the
world of fashion. There are few all
fur hats as compared to the great
number In which fur forms part of
the hat or is employed simply as a
trimming.
In turbans the coronets are usually
of fur and the crowns of fabric.
Rich brocaded silks, plain velvet and
cloth of gold or silver are featured in
the crowns. There are some novel
brimmed hats having crowns of fur
and brims OF gold or silver lace.
But 1t is in bands used as trimming
that fur is liked best. There Is not
much effort to use II In unusual ways.
Large flowers of silver or gold lace,
having each petal bound with fur. are
novel and these, with ribbon or vel
vet trimmings bound with fur, are
about the only new fur decorations.
A wide band about the crown, Dor
der OF fur about brim edge or band
forming coronet are the prevalent
modes for using this most staple OF
things used in millinery.

Trimmings on fur hats are very sim
pie. A single flower or a single feath
er is the rule for the small turban
The head and neck OF birds of gay
plumage Imagined by the manufac
turer and not grown by nature) are
occasionally seen, and fluffy pompons
seem appropriately posed against q
background of fur.
The hats shown In the picture are
fine examples of the way In which
furs are used In millinery. The ma
jority OF millinery furs are limitations
of the skins for which they are named
But they are equal to such demands
as are made of them so far as wear
ing qualities are concerned. Hats
made of fine, genuine skins are costly
but, considering their durability ano
the fact that these furs are never oui
of style and may be used again anc
again, they are, after all, among the
most economical OF hats.

is a somewhat radical departure from
present-day fashions. 1t is of white
satin, brocaded with silver, and 10
made without trimming or elaboration.
The skirt is flaring and full, hanging
in set folds. The absence of shoulder
straps, the pointed bodice and short
pulled sleeves revive memories of the
days of the Renaissance. After much
elaboration it seems severely simple.
But there is a reaction toward sim.
plicity which, 1t must be conceded, has
improved the styles Of today.

nUR fashions spring from revivals
" and adaptations of styles that have
been worn before our day and feel the
influence of all the corners of the
earth. For some time the agitation
on the subject of American designs
for American women has been going
on. The war in Europe brought this
matter to climax and a fashion
show, under the patronage of wealthy
society women of New York city, was
staged recently at the Ritz hotel, in
which the apparel displayed-on ex-
tremely clever models-was designed
by members of American establish
ments and made In their workrooms.
The display altogether was credit
able, although any startlingly new and
wholly original ideas were lacking
In fact, few people are looking for
anything of the kind What we really
want and take to are styles that have
associations and suggestions that make
them interesting. We like hint of
the oriental, whisper of the savage,
glimpse of the ancient, and not a
bold copy in any case. In fact. when

ESTES IS AFTER
JOHN |. PARHAN
WITH GRAND JURY
Will Try to Show Evidence Of Con
fictin Standardization
Commissioners to Testify.

q. N. Estes, attorney general, has
started to hammer j l.. parham cleo
ton commissioner, alleged to be in
eligible, through the grand jury
says the Commercial-Appeal.
Evidence pIesagiug criminal
prosecution was submitted Satur-
day, hut several witnesses includ-
ing II. 0. True and J. H. Grain, elcc-
ton commissioners, are yet to be
examined tcfore definite action Il
taken by the grand jury
Mr.. Grain was summoned for yes
terday, but lid not put in an ap-
pearance. w. p. Halliday and J. p.
Darlington, who were among the in
corporators of the Parham- Matthews
Hat Company, and therefore able TO
say with some degree OF accuracy
as to when Mr.. Parham took up his
residence in Memphis, were exam
med.
Indicating the character If the
charges that will be brought, re-
marks made by Gen. Estes several
days ago subsequent to the taking
of Mr.. Parham's deposition are to
the point He said:
"Parham swore in his answer filed
in the custer suit that he had lived
in Memphis five years, but admits
in this deposition that he did not
move his family from Cairo until
May, 1910. He claimed he came
here about every week from Feb
mary, 1910, until April, 1910. His
family was in Cairo and his busi-
ness was there until 1910. The law
is plain that a mans home IS where
his family and business are.
"Parham voted and was a judge
Of election at Cairo in 1910. and
does not deny II in this deposition.
If he had moved to Memphis and
held an election and voted at Cairo
while he claimed TO be a citizen CT
Memphis he would be umft to serve
IN an office Of t.llst and confidence"
Gen. Estes clGims to have secured
evidence directly contradicting Mr..
Parham in material particulars.
Mr.. Parham in his deposition
stated that he came TO Memphis in
February, 1909, for the purpose of
interesting stock subscriptions. and
I hat he induced Mr., Halliday to in
vest. 1t is understood that Mr.. Hal
iiday told the grand jury yesterday
that he, on a visit to Cairo, per-
suaded Mr.. Parham to move to
Memphis
1t has developed that Mr.. Ed
rington was not a stockholder, but
as there had to be five incorporators
he allowed his name to be used.
Another charge growing out OF
an alleged conversation between
Mr. Parham and Mr. Grain before
the August election will also be
made the subject of investigation.
