SHOW ORIGINALITY IN STYLE
Seasons Pattern Effects Certainly
Novel, Whatever Else May Be
Thought of Them.

Upon going the round Of the shops
there is one thing noticeable about the
winter models in clothes and their ac-
cessories, and that is the new effects in
patterns. Sometimes they are startling,
sometimes merely different, but always
they are DOvel. When, for example.
one sees al evening gown, designed
probably for the most elaborate affair
of the fall season, blOSSOMing forth in
all kinds of fantastic Chinese embroid-
cry, one wonders If the impressiOnists
are, after all, the most extreme of mod
ern schools of art. And when one sees
tiny quadrupeds and miniature trees
on the new wells the effect is arresting,
to say the least. Some of the latter, in
stead of going so far as the above
mentioned animals, content themselves
with a bee or a spider, which crawIs
nOnchalantly across the wearer's face,
and others affect extreme simplicity
until their endurance gives out, where
upon the border of the veil becomes q
revelry Of figures, patterns and designs.
And so, from all appearances, whatever
the coming season may hold in the way
of beauty, in the matter of originality
it certainly is not backward.

MoDISH HATS DISTINCTLY ORIG
INAL IN STYLE.
One of the "Picture" Variety Emil
nentIy Suitable for Young Girl
"TaiIored" Type for Wear
With the Street Suit.

The sketch illustrates two m0dish
hats of widely different types. The
upper belongs in the picture hat
class, and it is for a young girl. The
hat proper is Of black velvet. The
rather dropping brim is underfaced
with ciel blue faille silk, and ribbon
the same shade bands the soft crown.
Continuing at one side it forms q
flow loosely, or it may be caught up
underneath the chin and secured to
the hat at the opposite side. A pink
rose with foliage decks the upper
brim on either side of the hat.
The lower hat has upper crown and
visored brim of black velvet, with
full outer crown of taupe-cOlOred felt
runs with ribbon in the same shade
and Ornamented in front with metal
buckle or slide.
This hat is of the tailored" type
and is suitable for wear with a street
suit or coat.
The vogue for tams and other soft
crowned hats continues very strong.
The Henry VIII style with its plume
coming out from beneath the soft
crown is a popular model. The fancy

ing. Ermine, skunk, mOleskin and
Hudson seal are being cut up for mil
Iinery purposes.
Hats with helmet or visOred brims
emphasize the leaning to things mill
tary in the development Of millinery,
and chin bands of fur, velvet or grOs-
grain or faille ribbon are modish.
These appear on many of the motor
hat models.
While variety in shape is practically
unlimited, it may be noted that the
very tiny hats are growing fewer.
Medium-sized and large hats are de-
cidedly approved by Dame Fashion
this year.
Rembrandt, shepherdess and Gains
borough hats are seen in great num-
berS.
The vogue for purple millinery has

CHAPTER VII-Continued.


All the small loose ends of her life
were gathered up-eXcept Joe. She
would have liked to get that clear, too.
She wanted him to know how she felt
about it all-that she liked him as
much as ever, that she did not want
to hurt him. But she wanted to make
it clear, too, that she knew now that
she would never marry him. She
thought she would never marry; but
if she did, it would be q man doing q
mans work in the world. Her eyes
turned wistfully to the house across
the Street.

A neighborhOOd cat came Stealthily
across the Street, and stared up at the
little balcony with green-glOwing eyes.
"Come on, Bill Taft" she said.
"COme on"
Joe Drummond, passing the house
for the fourth time that evening,
heard her voice, and hesitated uncer-
tainly on the pavement.
"JOe! Come h."

The misery in his voice hurt her.

He came slowly toward her.
"Well?" he said hOarsely.
"Yhy haven't you been to see me?

was a-tingle with virtue and outraged
friendship.
''You haven't done anything but

He sat down on the edge of the bal
cony and stared out blankly.

it"
'T'm n 1t blaming you. 1 was fool
to think you'd ever care about me.

the thing. I've been around seeing
some other girls, and notice they're

Then suddenly all his carefully con-
served indifference fed. He bent for
ward quickly, and, catching her hand
held it against his lips.
"Fm crazy about you, Sidney. That's
the truth. wish could die"
The cat, finding no active antagO-
nism, sprang up on the balcony and
rubbed against the boys Quivering
shoulders; breath of air strOked the

friendly hand. Sidney, facing for the

spair, sat, rather frightened, in hel

the ultra smart dressmakers offer for

When one says that chiffon has

hearts of women usually sink, for this
fabric is the first and last choice Of

THE FARM LOAN

We are pleased to note the later
est being taken in the farm loan act
This rural credits law was enacted for
the benfit of the farmer but he must
take the initiative in working out the
detail.
There are two systems under which
this law will work one operating
through regional land banks, the other
a system operating through joint
stock land banks.
If your town or community Is in.
terested in this method Of securing
long time money at 8 per cent we sug-
gest you get copy of the new law
and make a carefnl study Of it. The
system may not be in working order
for several months but there is no
reason why you shoald not be ready
by the time the Federal Banks are
prepared to do business. The first
to come will be the first to be served.
Take the matter up now and make
a careful study of it. If there are any
questions you do not understand write

Unless unexpected delays hinder the
work, the handsome new residence
now being built by S. l.. Willis on the
corner of Jefferson and Second streets
will be ready for occupancy some few
days after the first of November. The
house is one of the handsomest struc-
lures In the city. and will be great
addition to the locality in which it is
Seing erected.
In general style the architecture is
a modified New England colonial, and
II the building does not contain some
of the modern improvements and con-
veniences it will be because the own
er has not heard of them, for every
expense and trouble are being incur
red to make of the building an ideal
home.
The house is three stories with full
basement On the first floor will be
kitchen, dining room, and spacious
living room running the depth of the
house from north to sonth. OF of the
living room and entered by French
windows is a glassed-in sclarium on
abe east side. This room will be pro-
vided with radiators SO that it will
be enjoyable in winter as well AS in
summer.
Up stairs on the second floor there
are three sleeping rooms. On the
north side of the house, there will be
a double sleeping porch which is an
integral part of the building and not
"a mere excrescence.
The third floor vii, be finished up
ss one large room suitable for dane
ang parties and other entertainments
1t is to have hardwood floor and
will make an ideal gathering place for
Miss Willis and her many college
friends when larks are planned.
In the basement there will be sleep
ing quarters for a maid, and there
will be a modern laundry with COM
plete equipment, and a hot water
heating plant.
One of the interesting ard valuable !
features of the house will be the cold
storage connected conveniently with
the kitchen.
Choice wall pape s hand-painted in
exquisite designs and colors, are be-
ing chosen today and will insure 4

for furniture and decorations.

too obvious wires running into the
house will be the plan MI Willis has
adopted of bringing all light and tel
