orinin of Crescent

Professor Ridgeway, in England, ad.
vocated a new view. according to
which the Mohammedans got the idea
of the crescent, not from the new
moon, but from the ancient and long
continued use in Asia Minor of anu
lets made by fitting two bears tusks
together at the base. The figure thus
produced certainly bears a closer re-
semblance to typical crescent, as it
is represented on the Turkish flag
than does a new moon. The wide dis.
tribution of these amulets, however,
suggests that they may have had a
common origin in some symbol per
tanning to the MOON They are found
as far away as New Guinea, while in
Africa they are in common use, made,
however, of lions claws ipstead OF
boars' tusKs.

quiet colors are made for the few who
like grave things. One sees these
scarfs everywhere-with street suits
on the shopping rounds, in the autos
along the drives, at the outdoor con-
certs, and on the business girl going
to and from her work. In gold and
light yellow, in rose and primrose
pink, in vivid green and brilliant
cerise they greet the coming autumn
with >hues as bright as those of the
turning leaves.
The sweater shown here has col
lar and belt in line with the new
styles, wherein a belt across the
back or extending part way round the
figure is much featured. The cap

as well as comfort in mind. A scarf,
added to these two pieces, leaves
nothing to be needed for the out-of-

Everybody is pleased with the light,
gay colors of the coats and sweaters,
golfing outfits, and all sorts of sports
clothes in which the feminine half of
the world has gone about this sum
mer. And now that heavier things
are needed for the crisp autumn days,
the gay colors are to continue, and the
dashing broad stripes, too And with
them, white and cream color in heavy
knitted caps, sweaters and scarfs are
not by any means an infrequent
sight.
The golfing sweater and cap shown
in the picture is a very good type of
the most practical of all these very
practical things. Just now there is
fad for long wooden scarfs. They are
knitted or woven in all the accepted
gay colors for sports clothes, in white
and in the quieter colors as WELL For
every woman, young or old, appears
to have walked up to find herself
wanting wooden scarf, and the dark,

hat at the right boasts a higher
crown than those on wide-brimmed
models of the passing season. The
velvet is shirred over the frame. and
the exquisite making of this hat pro-
claims the work of trained profess
sional. In fact, although many of the
new hats seem very simple, it is by
no means a simple matter to make or
trim them. A cord of beads finished
with balls encircles the crown. The
wide brim sweeping upward at the
left makes place for further trim
ming, which is sometimes of ribbon
and ornaments, as in this hat, and
sometimes of short soft plumes.
Something between a coolie hat
and a poke shape is pictured at the
top of the group. The frame is cov-
cred with velvet put on plain. It
forms a background for a cluster of
rich flowers. A bride of narrow
velvet ribbon gives touch of high
style value. 1t terminates on the un.
derbrim in long hanging loops Of the
ribbon.
A cleverly draped turban. made of
velvet, again attests to the work of
an artist IN draping. The material is
caught apparently under a large
buckle OF cut steel This is the sort
of hat that appeals to the matron of
quiet taste but sense of style that
taxes the s,t of the designer.

AS she crossed the threshold Hall

She looked him up and she looked
him down, and anger was in her eyes.

Didn't you understand me, this after
noon?" She backed off, preparing to
leave.
He seized her again. "Flodie, Y
won't take no for an answer. love
you too much!" He fumbled in his
pocket and drew out the ring. Here,
take this, Flo; wear it, won't you?
And, as soon as can get Mr.. Doremus
in here, I'll put another one on your
finger that'll make us man and wife!"
She took it, and tossed it across the

The quest for something new in
millinery for fall has begun in earnest
and there is no indication that the
seekers after novelty and beauty will
bs disappointed. Ideas originated by
our own American designers, and
some others, which the French, in
spite of the distractions of war. have
had the inspiration and the time to
work out, are more than creditable to
both countries. The new millinery is
rich and chic and sufficiently novel
There is great variety in graceful
shapes to choose from. Noticeably
prominent are those that tilt upward
at the back. There aSe many high
crowned hats and many of uneven
width of brim. This gives the mill
liner endless latitude in the shaping
of brims to suit the individual face
In fabrics, velvet, satin, metallic
'Iaces and braids bespeak winter of
rich effects in millinery. This is
borne out by the trimmings of fur, and
Of flowers made of silk materials,
many of them covered with metallic
gauzes. Cut steel ornaments and
those of beadwork are to be seen in
all authoritative displays. The most
beautiful of fancy feathers and the
richest of ostrich plunsage testify to
the advance in taste which demands
them in all parts of the country.
Three types of the new fall hats are
shown here. The big. soft, picturesque

For the week ending Oct. 4, 1915.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The week was cool, cloudy and
over the northern counties showery,
although the rainfall was generally
less than the normal The week as
whole was fairly favorable and
corn made rapid progress toward
maturity, yet an average of more
than 800 reports show only % per
cent of the crop safe from frost on
Oct. /. Over the southern half of
the state probably two-thirds of the
crop is safe from injury except from
hard freeze, but over the northern
counties much of the crop is still in
the roasting ear stage and not very
far advanced in that. Many fields
failed to fertilize and have nothing
but husks and an embryo cob.
Rapid progress was made during
the week in cutting corn, filling
silos, digging potatoes and blowing,
and much wheat was sown. The po-
tato crop is not up to expectations on
account of rot and blight. Grain
threshed from stack is of much bet
ter quality than that threshed from
shock
