A light ecru or buff Shade is especially fashionabl and one has in mind a stunning bottle green turban of featherweight felt with one of these buff feathers trailing across its crown, the quill end at the left side held by dull gold and jade buckle, the curled end dropping just over the brim at the opposite side of the hat. Egyptian blue ostrich feathers are equally rich in color. There is not suggestion of green in these deep Egyptian blues; they have rather the tone of lapis lazuli, the lighter shades resembling the lovely Della Robbia blue of Italian bambino figurines.. A small turban pictured today has ostrich in this ex- quisite Della Robbia blue, curled around low crown and nestling with in rolled up brim, The turban is made of brown velvet and Is most plea sing in shape. the rolling brm extending forward to shade the face while the back fits close to the hair One long, handsome ostrich feather is around over the quill end to form dashing little brush at the back.

Canoes also rings are In great demand, the cameo set in such manner that it may be raised to reveal hidden space for a picture or lock of hair.
 Elephants hair Is supposed to be a wonderful luck charm and there are keepsake rings with elephants hair hidden inside--or so the jeweler claims-that are guaranteed to pre- serve the Wearer from death. injury or imprisonment while at the front. Touch-wood rings are popular too and some very attractive ones are of pol ished ebony with sunken imitation pearls all the way around.
 Despite the superstition about pearls meaning tearsi women dote on pearls more and more. If they cannot afford genuine pearls they achieve composition or "seientific" pearls. If they cannot have even these, they wear pearl beads. Pearls become more and more expensive and 9 string of genuine ones represents a small fortune. Even the "scientific" pearls cost up to fifty dollars the necklace-more, if the necklace is a lengthy one--but the beauty of pearls can never be rivaled by any other jewel, however rare or costly, and no flashing gem of brilliant hue Is so be- coming to femininity as the creamy white pearl. Opals also defy their reputation for i'll luck and pronounce themselves favorites for the season. A very beautiful necklace of green gold and opals Is pictured. The fiat, ribbon-like links hold filagree-mounted opals and a large, very fiery opal Is set in the pendantt under an exquisite ly wrought Egyptian head; the green gold of the setting and the fiery hues of the opal makingNa most beautiful combination. Like most of the new neck ornaments. this one has dangling tassels.
 Necklaces for wear with summer dresses and blouses are of colored galalith and some of the chains are very beautiful in design. From these Galalith chains hang lockets. medal lions or tassels and the tassels are as likely as not to be of cnlored worsted -a strange jewelry whim of the sea

Cross-Stitch Animals
 On Childish Frocks

H AND STITCHERY continues to
 give the touch of distinction to
 simple little frocks, made of in expensive materials. Shocking, feather-stitching, hemstitching, tiny handrun pintucks. small buttonholes worked with exquisite care, daintify dresses for tiny girls these days. and a little frock of crossbarred dimity. smocked or feather-stitched. with min ute buttonholes fastening over lace buttons is infinitely better style than an deliberately trimmed costume load ed with machine-made dace The lat est thing in hand needlework on ju- venile costume is cross-stitch animals. Rabbits, kittens, lambs, cows and oth- CT lovable beasties--from the childish standpoint-are worked in cross-stitch with coolred cotton or worsted. the designs being somewhat conventional Trzed and rather square and angular, but unmistakahly representing what they intend to. A red and white striped gingham frock for a little girl of eight, has a white pique yoke cross stitched with tiny rabbits in red. A white and blue percaie has eross-stitch biuebirds, and so on. The cross-stitch animals are very tiny and are usually embroidered in border effect, each design taking up exactly the same space and the pattern being geo. metricai and regular when completed.

How To Send Comforts
 To Your Prisoner

TF THE NEWS comes that your
 soldier boy is among those taken
 prisoner by the enemy" be thank
 full at least that his name was not in the more dread list of the killed or ,-wounded.- And when his whereabouts have been discovered you can send him comforts, you know. The Red Cross, among the other blessed serv- ices that it gives. has found way of forwarding packages and letters to American prisoners in Germany. Through an understanding with War Trade Board of Germany, the Red Cross may forward from Switzer- land ten pound packages weekly to each American. The prisoners pack age may contain bread, soap and to- bacco, and special packages are per mitted in the case of invahds. Let ters accompanying the packages may be two pages long, no moSe, and must be written on one side of the paper only. No money may be sent with the package or letter. If money Is sent 1t must go through different branch of the Red Cross at Washing ton, D. c. The Red Cross will for ward full directions for mailing and addressing packages to prisoners, and furnish any new rules that may have been established since the date of this writing.

aggerated "wings" of velvet. From the elongated crown at back and front extend feather ornaments supposed to represent propeller and rudder of the craft The huge wing bows Of velvet look very smart when one tries on an airplane hat in the milliner's show room, but those wide-spreading pin ions are surely going to make trouble in high November winds Better to select compact little helmet shape, just as war-like in suggestion and more comfortable in a brisk autumn breeze out of the northwest, Helmet turbans are the rage In England, and Paris is producing many variations on the helmet type of millinery. The rather severe lines of the helmet tur- bans-which rarely have any brim unless it be a visor brim--are trying to faces past the first freshness and roundness of youth. They give too stern and serious suggestion to the face. And let the woman who wears eyeglasses keep away from helmet headgear! For her are the soft velvet turbans and the feather-swathed hats; feathers are always the most becom- ing hat trimming for a weafer of eye glasses.
 Wing Trimmings Are Exaggerated Just an ordinary wing has no style at all this season. The wing must be exaggerated in size or poised in some eccentric, daring manner to be ap- proved by fashion. Two typical wing trimmed turbans for fall are pictured; one high crowned model with mush- room brim and odd whirligig wing arrangement; the other a low-crowned turban with rolling brim and long
 wings folded over the crown, their | tips pointing sharply to east and west. A notable turban from a French house is of rust brown velvet, the shape an exaggerated one-sided effect with a sudden, downward slant of brim at one side, the rest of the brim rolling up close against the crown. A long lwing shoots outward and downward with the brim and almost sweeps the shoulder.

it rests the responsibility or - giving individuality and interest to the whole costume. Its high privi- lege is to turn an unobtrusive and conspicuously simple costume into a charming, chic and compelling one. Like the masculine necktie whose serious duty it is to add gaiety and interest to somber masculine garb, the feminine hat now becomes the Focusing point of interest in feminine dress. Woman must clothe herself with obvious simplicity and lack of ostentation, to be quite correct and in good taste-but in the matter of headgear she may go as far as she likes. And it is truly surprising, what dashing hat, a futtering veil and a pair of earrings can accomplish in giving an inconspicuous costume zest.
 Hats have arisen to the opportunity offered them with praiseworthy prom titude. Scarcely a model in the fall galaxy of headgear that is not notably interesting, with an individuality all its own. The little hats are just as smart as they can be and there is plenty of dash and verve about them the big hats are replete with grace and most of them are distinguished enough to lend distinction to the entire costume. however simple and austere its wartime semblance.
 Featherweight Felt AffiEms Its Name
 As unlike the old-style rigid blocked felt as plotting paper is unlike paste board. is the new featherweight felt which appears this season.. Hats of this delightful. supple felt are in blocked shapes but the shapes may be . twisted in the hands. folded up rolled or otherwise maltreated-and the beautiful felt springs back again into shape without dent or a wrinkle. On the head these hats have scarcely any weight at all and their soft out lines are much more becoming to the face than the rigid lines of hard felts of other days. From French house comes a featherweight felt turban in the new rusty brown shade. The hat Is elongated from side to side and a wide brim turns backward from the front and forward from the rear to- ward tKe rather low crown. Across this low crown. from side to side, snug gling within the edges of the turned up brim, goes a magnificent brown ostrich feather. its curling end falling rover the edge of the hat just back of the right ear.

 Several new earring styles are pie tured The idea just now Is not to express great lavishness of expense in any sort of iewelry, but rather to make it, by reason of it's own individu- ality or some happy choice of color, an interesting touch in an otherwise unobtrusive costume. Imitation pearls, jade that is not real jade, colored channels and reconstructed jewels are all permissible. provided the orna- ment Is in good taste and the mount ings are not cheap and tawdry. In- deed a pair of imitation jade ear rings costing say, wo-ninety-eight, would be in better taste, these war days, than pair of diamond spark lers worth several hundred dollars that might be working for Uncle Sam in Liberty Bonds.
 Most of the earrings pictured are rather Oriental in suggestion, and jewelry of this type is very fashion able just now The drop earrings at the upper left hand corner are in green gold and black enamel with tiny, clear aquamarines suspended on green gold chains. Those at the up- per right hand corner have topazes and baroque pearls in dull gold set ting. The screw-and-drop ear orna- ments in the center are in lovely jade green shade. At the lower left are jet and pearl bead earrings, orna mental but not expensive; at the lower right are some most interesting ear rings with moonstones and crystals set in silver. Individuality and not high price is the thing, just now. in ornaments, and much taste and dis erection may be displayed in selection.

~HE WORLD would he harder A place thaneit is to live in, If

 dress. There is a movement un- der way, headed by we'll known and highly respected women, to abolish the wearing of mourning during the period of the war, because of the n- evitably depressing and discouraging effect of quantities of somber gar ments of bereavement where people congregate together. The war must be won and dependency and, the evi- dences of despondency will not help toward its winning--this is the argu ment advanced in the campaign against mourning garb--and 1t is a good argument, an argument which should have weight with thoughtful and unselfish women. Arguments against the wearing of jewelry against indulgence in pretty clothes and new fashions have not the same merit or excellence. Attractive clothes help to. keep women's spirits up, and help lift the spirits of other folk who behold the charming raiment. It would be dull world, a drab world indeed if

 Woman's dress has been growing more and more simple. fripperies and super fluous trimmings have been cut away.
 Tailored styles lean more and more toward the severely masculine. Why not earrings, to lend that indispens- able little touch of femininity and charm? Surely the modern earrings eost very little.

 Small Wells Attached 10 Mushroom
 Hats
 The little, fiuttering veils that droop from slanting hat brims are enohant- ingly becoming. Hat and veil cast a half-shadow over the face and are ex- tremely fiattering to faces that are not as beautiful or as young as their possessors could wish. The small veils are usually in lace or all-over mesh pattern with dainty border at the edge, and they are slightly gathered over cord and fastened closely around the base of the hat crown. the fiuttering veil falling about five or six inches beyond the brim-as shown in the picture. The brim must positive ly have the mushroom slant to give the proper effect; we'll of this sort over a straight hrim like that on the Leontine hat would fail entirely in the effect sought for, This little veil is taupe eolored and is draped over taupe velvet hat faced with blue.
