Monday till Wednesday was
held the Farmers ssChautauqua a,
and we regret to have to say that
from point of attendance that it
was a failure. Why our farmers
do not take advantage of such
opportunities to improve in every
line connected with the farm. This
meeting cost the State over 5000.
and yet those for whose benefit it
was intended did not appreciate
or take advantage of the oppOrtun-
ity offered. The man who does
not want to get better is certain
not to make many upward strides.
Several of the teachers came In on
Wednesday. One of the men con-
nected was heard to say that this
would be the last Chautauqua for
Rockcastle farmers and we believe
he is about right.

HAT TRIMMINGS ARE ODD.

THEY are so odd,. indeed. that you
 see only one hat trimmed in the same way, at once 8 relief to the mo- notony and a strain on ones hat choos- ing powers. If you are out for decided novelty, how about a soft black milan with dull blue velvet streamers caught to the crown with sure enough sea- shells-pretty, polished and variegated shells, exactly like the souvenirs you once haled from the seashore? If you are very brave there is a Spanish mat ador's hat in pink georgette crape and pink hemp with pink ball fringe hang ing from brim edge and crown top. Porcelain flowers in odd colors and highly polished, much like spray plucked from a Victorian mantel- piece vase, trim a midnight blue toque of rough straw, while the necklace of a Cherokee princess danges alluringly from the side of a green taffeta sports hat

And now there is cretonne coat suit in one shop and cretonne lined coats in another, while we have had whole bevies of cre- tonne beach costumes for the bathing season. Perhaps the prettiest use or this cheerful fabric is for ch1ldrens morning dresses. and when combined with plain colored linen for pockets, collar, cuffs and sash and topped with a quaint cretonne sunbonnet the effect is almost too good to be true.

 A inhabitant has woman's footwear been so varied and interesting, and not within the same time has it been so freakish and so lamentably abused.
