with us already many months. 1t has
not been a huge success either; in
fact, none of those unnatural things
ever are, and the really most striking
millinery effects are the new flowers.
They are In the same class of good
taste as the straight plume; even the
blossoms arc more elegant, for 1t takes

.untidy in the defrissee plume.
How styles Are stolen.
This uncurled plume has history
that dates back to n Grand Prix of a
dozen years ago. AS every one is
aware, the biggest sartorial events OF
the year in Paris are these two race
meets, when half the people go to see
what the other half has on. The poor
horse is not looked at; in fact there
are mon and women that never leave
the plot of ground behind the grand
stands. That. is the day when
milliners and dressmakers send their
mannequins dressed III what they in
tend to launch for autumn trade. And
that is one of the occasions when
these people steal from each other.
The designers and heads of houses are
on hand with paper and pencil-con-
cealed; they watch every dress and
hat that bobs up; if there be anything
pretty they haven't in their own col
lection out slyly comes the pencil and
the next day in the shop the borrowed
thing will find it's home in new sur
rcundings. The designer boldly follows
up a mannequin, copying every fold
of the drapery. and the mannequin
doesn't mind him, whereas the
couturier is more foxy and does his

1t was on such a day as this that
tout Paris went to see the races and
the dresses. There was not a cloud

TT is safe to wager that of all the
"reminiscences of camp and trail
none is so precious as the one
that clusters round the campfire, and
that particular campfire where pre-
sided a competent cook. We may re-
call with pleasure or regret the deer
that got away, the trout that de-
camped with our best leaders and the
ducks and grouse that laughed at the
patterns" of our pet shotguns; but
the memory of meals eaten with
campfire appetite, cooked by real
cook, will never be effaced.
Camp cooking in these days is quite
a different art than in the old times
before solid alcohol was heard Of and
before practical portable stoves were
fashioned. The clever cooking outfits
which nest inside each other make it
possible to carry every necessary
utensil in the space formerly occupied
by one. An explorer in a glade boat
In the wilds of Florida is able to cook
a substantial meal afioat with the aid
Of an alcohol stove without danger OF
spilling the fuel and setting fire to the
craft; the hunter with a forest to
yield limitless supply Of choice fire.

that's the latest winter menu. The
there belong TO a class that falls for
every fad, for they live to dress and
attract attention, but as every one
knows they're not distinguished and
have no claim to social position. Any
way, effects that would make a
French woman chic would make an
American frowsy, and the greatest
claim of the American is that she is
conventional and likes to wear things
that are compatible with ladylikeness.
The leather is in keeping with the
rainy day that prevails in Paris and
is a part of the climate. There is a
commercial reason no doubt for
leather being thrown on the market
which is that expecting the war to
last all through last winter, a vast
amount of kid had been stored to- be at
the command OF the army, for kid was
getting to be easier to buy than WOOL
In fact when trousers began to fall
apart they were patched with kid, and
the kid was creeping into every de-
partment of army wear That that
the couturiers bid for was the lightest
weight, and as 1t was often perforated,
they perforated all the rest, embroider-
ing or coloring the little holes, and
such leather was at once glorified,
and made dresses that were more than
handsome.
Goat eur" Is "a Paris Novelty.
There is reason also for the so-called
"goat fur" which is not goat fur at
all and is not even distant kin to the
goat being far more plebeian. The
skin is nothing more or less than
opossum. the hairs softened and made
more shiny and dyed. You remember
the great vogue that opossum had
year or two preceding the. war. You
couldn't have bought a skin of II in
New York, London or Paris, because
every inch of II was stored away for
second season, the first had been
such a bowling success. Well, to
make a long story short. when the
dealers assembled in Leipsic-it was
there the big markets We're held In
March-to determine upon pelts for
the following winter so much of the
opossun had been sold that there was
not enough to make a run on that left.

This being the case, the furriers placed
the opossum aside for a future season.
These fur men have now tired of
giving storage to the opossum, they
want to put other skins in their cell
lars, and they got into touch with the
Paris couturier and furrier and said
(something like this): We've got a
million possum skins. Can't you do
anything with them? Wen sell out
for song. So the couturiers, always
on the lookout for a novelty-no mat
ter how grotesque 1t be sometimes
rut their heads with the furriers, which
resulted in the beautifying and adapt
Ing. Unfortunately, America has the
reputation of adopting tads, or rather
had 1t. and those men ever there don't
seem to know that we are fast work
ing out our own salvation and that
they might as well turn their attention
to other conquests. A fad is some
thing for woman that has more
money than she knows what to do
with, land our practical ones-even
millionaires-have n place for every
shelf in their wardrobe and trunk and
don't want an object that grows out
of date in few weeks. The so-called
goat fur is a fad and it will not pre-
vail mere unless the dressmakers form
attractive pictures with 1t.
1t is largely changing styles that
foreigners are shown in August and
February. Each dress as 1t appears
in the parade carries an exclamation
point along which says: do you like
me?" The couturiers hold their breath
while the mannequin swirls and poses
and struts about. and all the sales
people know at the end of that first
seance what gowns have been worth
the trouble. II the American commits

Away From Paris Styles

THERE will always be women to
cling to foreign influences, and
in style Americans will to some
extent follow what is adopted else
where until our own designers outwit
the Partisan. and it is my honest con-
viction that the day is not distant
when the entire wardrobe will be in

Of gloves and the small bits that are

less, the trades people here depended
on imported goods for their models. in
fact they were helpless till things ar
rived, and when American copied
GOODS finally got on the market, they
were from six months to a year behind
Paris.
Little by little and one by one the
American has caught up, and in the
race he has far surpassed the foreign
maker. So much so that Paris and
London and Vienna wait for American
shoes, gloves. tailormades and pattern
their own after. with changes that
may conceal the structure. They all
steal from each other, the dressmakers
and designers, and it's a legitimate
theft, else every woman would be
dressed alike and each country would
have but one model. The only thing is
that the American is honest about his
act and tells you plainly that he got
parts of the creation from abroad,
while the Europeans put up a great
bluff as to things being their very own
and try to make you believe they are
shocked that you'd even think they

American Women Different.
The American climate and the Gus
toms of the people are as different as
the women are in looks, and 1t is right
that each country should dress its peo-
pie to suit the taste. Go to any Euro
pean or South American land and the
women are independent and their
clothes are of an individual order,

THE KENTUCKY FuTURITy

The Kentucky Futurity, the most
coveted of all races for three-year-
old trotters, not alone for the rich
ness of its money value of $4,000,
but for the honor and distinction it
carries through long succession OF
years, has not been won by native
Kentuckian since 1895, when Oak
land Baron triumphed for the late
Col. Robert G. Stoner, of Paris, but
it now seems likely that the 1919 re-
newal is to fall to very distinguish
ed citizen Of the Blue Grass State.

CIRCUS COME AND GONE

John Robinson's circus has folded
its tents and departed from Mt. Ster-
ling, but the memory of bareback
riders, gorgeous in tinsel, side-split-
ting in their bizarre costumes, and
the wonderful horses, ponies and
dogs, together with all the rest of the
amazing things, which endear cir
cuses to the youthful heart, will long
remain to inspire boys and girls here
with dreams of a happy day when
they too, can be clowns or bareback
riders, or can make little dog stand
on his fore legs at word of COM
mand.. Yes, the youthful heart will
cherish the memory of that wonder
full institution, circus day, whether
that heart beats in the bosom of
youngsters of twelve or youngsters
of fifty.
What delight it all was, with its
pretty ladies who hung from the very
top of the great tent by their teeth, or
swung breath -takingly by their dain-
ty toes from swaying trapezes. How
every eye was fascinated by the
sleek, dashing horses with their rid
ers recklessly careless of bride or
other safeguard. And how every
sense of humor was tickled by the
clowns, clowns in kits, clowns in
patches, clowns in "the latest things
from Paris"
1t was indeed a great delicious
show" with every moment crammed
with wonders and joys, and Mt.
Sterling will look eagerly towards

HON. w. ]. FIELDS
SPEAKS ON EDUCATION

Hon. w. j. Fields met an appoint
ment Friday at the Court House in
this city, and to an intelligent and
interested audience discussed the
question Of education, subject that
most concerns our best citizenship.
Mr.. Fields spoke with much earnest
ness and the subject was properly
handled under three heads. First,
he dealt with the subject of litter
acy, telling our people how to re-
duce it to minimum. The night
schools cannot accomplish this OBJ
ject alone. There must be con-
certed action on the part of the peo-
pie, encouraging the movement. So
ciety, embracing the entire people
must be in sympathy, must show
deep interest if results would be OBJ
tanned. There was a time when the
few leaders controlled all matters of
society and state, but now it is up
to the people and they, the people,
not the few, but all the people must
be leaders, with voice in all mat
tiers. This condition is fast coming.
1t is said the military training and
rudament teaching were such in the
camps where men were prepared for
war, that not one returned home
without leaning to read and write,
and the very first letter home was
always to mother. Mothers, be in
terested.
Second point was ON the increase
of attendance at schools. Kentucky
gives annually for the support of
schools $6,0s2, 900, and If our people

former Attorney General Of West

it may be noted that Norman Dillon,
which finished second to Molly

proof that interest must begin in the
home. If the parents would have
the entire masses educated they
must show, they must talk interest
ingly. The purest Of Anglo Saxon
blood is here and this stock has a
yearning for education, they are
leaders, they move to the front, hold
ing positions of trust and honor.
In Congress the eleven Kentucky
Congressman were Kentucky born
and reared, and from the other
states there were eleven Congress-
men of Kentucky birth.
The third and final point was to
increase the salary Of the teacher.
II we are to get the very best out of
our teachers we must pay them bet
ter. The farm hand, the mechanic,
even to the n-educated laborer re-
ceives better pay than the trained
school teacher. The average salary
is about SAT per month and that for
seven months in the year. With this
condition we cannot hope for the
best results.
The speech was we'll received and
will prove a helper to better educa-
ton.
