Feathers de Luxe

favor. Heron aigrette and
heron breast feathers take
this lead among feathers de luxe.
Paradise, too, is used. Glycerined
ostrich and natural ostrich are hav-
ing a big vogue. Coque feathers are
also much in evidence, and hackle
and other brilliant neck and breast
feathers arc frequently seen as bor-
ders ON turhane.
Paris milliners generally are show ,
ing very eccentric feather effects on
both turbans and large shapes. Some
Of the new feather covered turhans
look almost like wigs Of bobbed hair,
irregular and unkempt. Especially
is this true when the hat is in dark
brown. These feathers in no small
degree resemble the monkey fur so
popular last seaon.
Among the new ostrich trim
mings are slender, dropping, quill
like ornaments Of glycerined ostrich
which are used in q disordered
brushlikc arrangement, giving the
hats an appearance Of the head
dresses Of savage tribes. These wild
looking feathers have appeared on
both velvet and panne hats. An
other ostrich trimming still used is
the fat glycerined plumes as a COW
ering for small and medium hats,
with the long dragging ends falling
off over the brim. These, too, have
a very savage and unkempt look, but
are considered very smart. Ostrich
pompons again are popular.
Wool Zephyr Embroidery
In Tapestry Effects
THE embroidered hat is being
continued, and one of the novel
ties is the use Of wool zephyr in
tapestry effect, as the whole hat is
covered with an embroidery, the
background as we'll as the design
being embroidered on a sort of can
vas foundation to form the entire
hat. Elaine, Of the rue de la Paix
and the rue des Petits-C Champs, who
always makes a feature Of embroid-
cred hats, is making much Of wool
embroidery. The special feature of
this house is to have the hat and
handbag match, and at the present
time the scarf also. These matched
sets are most attractive and very
original in design.
One very striking set consists of
a tam '-shanter and medium large
handbag made entirely of wool en-
broidery. The background is of
dark taupe, while the design, il
scrolls and circles about the size Of
a 25-cent piece, is in blue, red, green
yellow and brown. Another inter
esting set, consisting of sailor hat
handbag and scarf, is in dark brown
and beige wool. The dark color
forms the background, while the
light beige is introduced in the form
of conventional flowers.
Sports Hats of
Bright Colored FcIts
THERE is quite a vogue for ex-
tremely smart looking felt
shapes. Reboux has successfully
launched these in beige, and they
are unusually successful when
trimmed with only a few coque
feathers dyed in vivid shades. For
instance, a beige felt will have per-
haps four or five coque feathers in
different tones-dark green, vivid
red, yellow and a brown, with per-
haps one black. These seemingly
jet from one side Of the crown, the
mounting being hidden through a
slash in the felt. Other plain felt
shades are threaded with ribbon the

Tones of Rust

armistice it has been largely a ques-
ton Of using up stocks Of both
manufactured goods and raw ma
ter.als. But throughout the seasons
which have intervened the French
manufacturer has had time to read
lust himself to q new regime, so
that what Is being shown this win
ter as novelty Is actually new.
Hence the new colors appearing for
1921 are worthy Of more than pass
ing mention.
Strong, we'll determined and def
mite describe tho tones shown on
tho color cards for next spring. The
choice of the Paris dressmaker and
milliner is equally we'll defined. Red
is the present winter novelty, and
It Is anticipated that it's favor will
bs increased in the spring. In the
new red series rust shades still are
immensely popular.
Rust Color That
eads Into Brown
THESE rust tones gradually lead
to brown, a color in high favor
and shown in very large assort-
ment Of tones, running from the
deepest so-called black browns into
high shades that touch on russet and
gold.
There Is no reason why red and
brown ever should have been con-
sidered a. belonging to tho autumn
and winter. They are infinitely more
suitable to wear In the springtime.
When the little green buds are
shooting forth on IN thss II ttress ana
nature everywhere Is putting on new
dresses We feel that we must be in
keeping with our surroundings by
being clothed in fresh new raiment,
and no color adapts itself 80 readily
and so cheerfully to tho mood Of
spring as bright, warm red. Nor
does It ever show OFF to greater ad-
vantage than In such a setting as
the soft green Of new foliage. Later
In the summer, when tho streets are
hot and dusty and the leaves
parched and brown, red Is not at
tractiye.
Green is another claimant for
fashions favor and q big future is
propheded for It, particularly the
dark bottle and olive shades.
In the new cotton materials for
the coming summer green's are prom
inent. 1t Is interesting to notice the
exactness with which all the shades
seen in silks have been reproduced
in cotton fabrics. There are lovely
deep green organdies, with shadow
printings in lighter shades Of the
same color. OF course, this treat
ment Is not confined to greens, for
the new cottons appear to have been
sucoessfully dyed in every hue under
the sun, but much more Is made of
the green shades this year than for
long time past.
Navy Blue Loses

less important In fact, there Is a
minimum Of blue In the new color
cards IN proportion to the prorni-
nence Of the above mentioned colors.

CONVENTION
Sunday School Convention Held in
Breckenridge.

The thirty-fourth annual conven-
ton held at Breckenridge, September
18th, rallied to the situation by de-
Gliding upon stronger organization
with a salaried county secretary on
full time. As an earnest of this de-
termination, the delegates subscribed
81 10000 towards the necessary
100000 to carry out this plan. A
number Of small country Sunday
Schools subscribed $4,000 and over.
Gratiot is one of the finest agri-
cultural counties i'm the United States
and this action shows that its people
take as much pride in the quality of
its boys and girls and in the moral
welfare of its people as in their
stock, beans, corn and sugar beets,
believing that progress is impossible
without character, that character is
impossible without morality, that
morality is impossible without pure
religion, that a pure religion is inn
possible without knowledge Of God
and that knowledge of God is re-
vealed in the Book of God which is
studied in the Bible school

Italian From Lansing Victim Of
Foul Play.

Late Monday afternoon, hunters
returning from Houghton lake dis
covered the body Of man in Maple
River, near the bridge, across that
stream at Bridgeville, whom the au-
thorities of the county are certain
came to his end by foul play.
The officials at Ithaca were noti-
fled, and after taking the body from
the river, found papers on it, which
years of age, as being James Ross of
Lansing. Later the officers found
that while the man was known as
James Ross, he was an Italian by the
name of Lorssa.
The body was removed TO Ithaca
where three wounds were found OF
the head, and it is the opinion OF
the Gratiot county officials that
Lorssa came to his end before the
body was placed in the river. 1t is
thought that it was taken to tn,
bridge by automobile and dropped in
TO the stream.

High School Team Will Face Hard

gregation will face one of the hard
est schedules in years this season.

the best schools in this section of the
state for his cohorts to pound against

months.
Chief among these schools is Bay
City Western high, which for several
years past has had the strongest
team in the Saginaw Valley Associa-
ton, Bay City Eastern, Owosso and
Mt. Pleasant. II is probable that
Arthur Hill of Saginaw, for years a
constant football opponent Of the To-
Gals, will also be played, but no
date has yet been set for this contest.
Games will probably be arranged
with st. Louis high and one or two
other teams.

RIP GETS PRAISE

The following from the sport pages

speaks highly of the pitching record
that has been set by rip" Hager-
man, Republic Ace:
Rube Marquard's. string Of nine
teen straight victories is quite re-
markable performance.
So is that of twenty-five victories
set by Rip Hagcrman, formerly Cub
and Indian twirler. with a Michigan
semi-pro team Rip has allowed less
than one earned run on an average
and has famed fourteen per game,
also on an average.
Rips record is remarkable because
almost anything is liable TO happen in
semi-pro affair. The support given
twirler is oftimes most uncertain
and fellow who can cop twenty-five
straight is little short Of being a
