Can Shoot Ducks in Iowa Next
Spring.

Iowa hunters who enjoy duck
shooting are rejoicing over change
made the past week in the federal
migratory bird Jaw, which will per-
nit them to shoot ducks in the
spring. For the past two years fed
eral law prohibited any spring shoot
ing, and any hunter will tell you
there is not much fall duck shooting
in Iowa. The change in the law will
permit shooting ducks in Iowa from
Feb. 9 to March II, and the fall
open season is from Sept. 10 to NOV.

Correspondence of The Journal
New YORK, Nov. 20, 1916. Following
the note of frivolous gaety which domi-
mated fashionable attire during the sum
mer, there is a wave Of digaitied rich
ness of materials, colors and trimmings
that makes for the pleasure of matrons,
who felt, and alas! often looked out of
place in short f1aring skirts and rain
bow sweaters.
Velvet and Fur.
Velvet and fur, lace and brocaded silks,
with patterns picked out in cleaning
threads of gold and silver, and every last
bit of real lace that woman can wear,
all go to make up the ensemble of royal
toilets worn on state occasions. 1t
sounds bit discouraging for the girl
with nothing a year." but really, if
clever, she can achieve an excellent ap-
pearance spite of her limited allowance.
Many of the imported velvet gowns are
velveteen-velutine as theFrench call it
and one can have an all-fur coat, or Just
little good fur trimming, or better yet,
smart little set that will go with any,
thing and be quite in the mode.
To Train or Not.
If one belongs in the matron class,
trains, which are in again, add height and
dignity to the figure, but the girlish set
stick to their short petticoats, and show
the most fascinating cross gathering
above their dainty slippers. This mode of
fastening is decidedly faddsh and usual
