Brought Back Minnesota Memories"

the journey TO Idaho to bring her old
father home.
Father left home IS years ago, tell
ing us he would be back the next
evening" said Mrs. Fairbanks. "When
he failed TO return we started Il search
and for some time heard traces of
him in various parts of Minnesota. al
though we never caught up with him
Finally all trace was lost and we gave
him up for dead.
Father now has faint recollection
of having been hurt by q horse, but
he doesn't know where or when. Re
Gently he was hurt by falling tree
and 1t brought back all his Minnesota
memories. But he has lost all recol-
lection of the interval.
He is eating heartily and chats
about the old times in Minnesota. He
talks about Little Ben Fairbanks. not
knowing that he now is my husband
and his son-in-law. He asks about
many of the old people and seems to
have an idea he left them all last
spring. Mother is awaiting him at
home, although father believes she is
dead"

calls fur Of this kind ''blue wolf" or
kit fox" or some other name to which
1t is entitled only by his cleverness in
dyeing 1t. The wearers of these pelts
knew better than to be caught nan
ping near a wolf. and were not on
speaking terms with any fox.
When the out-of-doors girl of the
north sets about acquiring a coat TO
live In, she will do well to consider
these fur-trimmed, plush coats, that
are shown In considerable variety.
Like fur. the plush coat can be worn
anywhere and any time. They are all
long, reaching nearly to the bottom of
the skirt. In this model the back Is
cut with a flare, the front plain and
straight with fullness enough at the
sides to hang in folds. A narrow belt
across the front is made of the plusb
and the plain coat sleeves have deem
cuffs of it. These coats are usually
lined with lining satin of the same
sturdy character as the plush.

Newton, N. flames N. Dobbins
and Henry Dewitt returned to their
camp at Montague township recently
with the carcass of black bear,
weighing POI pounds. and with thrill
ing story. For two days they had been
chased by the bear and his mate in
the woods near Dingman's but they
were aided by the fog In Guiding the
animals.
One of the gunners ran short Of am
munition and had to make his way
alone to Dingman's for more, and then
the two of them undertook the work
of seeking the bears. They came upon
the big black bear in the woods, and,
after repeatedly shooting at him, man.

where he had fallen, they made a
search for his mate, but, after several
hours of this work, had to give II up.
They obtained large log, strung
the bear on it, and marched into camp.

At the Ribbon Counter

Annually the ribbon counter blooms
out a month or so before the holidays
with all sorts Of new and lovely be-
iOngings for everybody. Its appeal to
he eternal feminine is as certain as
The sunrise, no more to be resisted
than that of flowers or children. This
year not n soul In the household has
been observation-disclosures is something
made of ribbon from everybody from
the baby to grandpa.
To begin with there are innumerable
Dags-knitting, sewing. shopping bags,
bags TO hold handkerchiefs, slippers,
etc, party and opera bags. There are
small lamp and candle shades, and
little folding screens to stand on the
reading or dressing table. There are
glorious cushions for bedroom lounges
or the living room, and an army of
bows of all sorts. There are the per-
ennial cOrsage roses and other flow
ers, and small nOsegays of little rib
bon flowers for the coat or fur neck
piece, to be worn on the street.
In the little group of novelties pic
tured here there are corsage orna-
ments and small bit of neckwear.
The ribbon rose is made of pink satin
ribbon in two shades, cut into short
lengths to form the petals. 1t is not
difficult to make when the breach is
once acquired. Millinery stems and
foliage and millinery stamens are used
with ribbon flowers. The center Of
The rose is formed by folding the dark
er shade in the ribbon and wrapping
1t about the end of the rubber stem.

After this each petal is made by gath.
one end and fastening it to the stem
by wrapping thread or tie wire about
it. The other end of the petal is curl
ed back and tackled down. Sometimes
three shades are used and always the
darkest Is at the center and the light
est on the outside of the blossom.
The poppy is made by gathering a
strip of ribbon close TO the edge, with
silk matching the ribbon in color, to
form the outer edge of the petals. The
other edge is feathered closely and
wrapped about a millinery stem with
stamens at the end. Both the rose
and poppy are set in appropriate foil
age.
A new arrival for the corsage has
settled among the flowers. 1t is a
butterfly of gayly colored ribbon with
markings added with brush and water
colors. At the right of the group is a
little neckwear piece made of loops
and ends of baby ribbon. The ends
are knotted and little blossom, simu-
lated in ribbon Is deity sewed over
each knot
An orchid from the milliners set in

heart of the orchid is a tiny powder

sometimes craftily concealed in the

kind. Every one is delighted when
they betray themselves at the dance
or other places. In time of need.

The interesting Loon.

The loon is one Of the most beauti-
full and graceful of the wild water
fowl, rivaling the wood duck in the
markings of its plumage. On the
Northern lakes there Is no bird that
can dive quicker or swim faster. Awk-
ward and clumsy on land, but so active
and alert is it in the water that it
can dodge bullets. "The loon is a
cousin to the beaver" says John Bur-
roughs. at has the feathers of bird
and the fur of an animal, and the heart
of both. 1t is as quick and cunning as
1t is bold and resolute. When disabled
so that 1t can neither dive nor fly. it
is said to face its foe, look at him in
the face with its clear, piercing eye
and fight reSolutely till death. The
gunners say there Is something in the
wailing, piteous cry, when dying, al
