Ostrich Trimming
BOUT as much ostrich trimming
Is sold these days, made up by
manufacturers Into fancy forms
* (that is, Into decorations differ-
A
ing from the simple plume) as In the
regular ostrich plumes which we have
known so long. Nothing is or will
be, more beautiful than the full, soft,
slightly-curled ostrich plume, known
as the French plume, and when one Is
buying good ostrich, with a view to
using it for some time, the French
plume Is the beat investment. But
when one is looking more for novelty
than for long service, unequaled deco
rations are to be found in the dis
plays of fancy ostrich.
Besides the new forms, the wreaths
and pompons, spirals, crowns and
clusters, fancy OBtrich gives the man
ufacturer wonderful opportunities in
color combinations and in shadings.
We shall continue to have novelties
made of ostrich stock, because of
these advantages and because so
much stock not otherwise available
will work up into effective fancy
pieces.
Three examples are shown here of
hats trimmed with fancy ostrich
pieces. As a rule each piece is a com
plete trimming for a shape and simpli
fies things for the trimmer.

REVIVE THE OLD FASHIONS
Designers Gs Back to Medieval Times
for Ideas that Give an In
dividual Note.
Long clinging robes of velvet, cut
on straight lines, which were fashion
able in earlier centuries, are to be
seen again in dresses for the day
time as well aa evening. Dresses of
this type, with entire absence of waist
line. appeal strongly to women who
like the individual note ijq dress.
Borne of the straight dresses recall
modes which were fashionable in
France in the fourteenth century. The
yokes, cut out in something like a V
in front and on the shoulders, are
made of bands covered with embroid
ery, and the dresses moulded to the
figure in severe style from neck to
hem have sleeves to the elbows, re
peating the embroidered bands at the
neck.
Such a gown was seen in a fashion
able New York show room last week.
Made of clear yellow velvet, the dress
was hemmed with skunk and em
broidered in deep tones of gold with
a dash of turquoise blue Introduced
In the worsted girdle of deep gold,
which gave a distinctive note to the
dross. In the Bame show room there
was a similar gown in Jacobean ta
pestry which had a tablier veiling of
clear terra-cotta ninon down the front
and back.
One of the latest gowns from Paris
was suggestive of an old fashion re
vived, and was carried out In a lovely
shade of hyacinth blue satin complete
ly veiled with ninon of the same color.
This overdress was tucked and puffed
In the quaintest way, and each nich
ing was edged with brilliants. Above
the knees from a puffing of ninon
there fell an edging of pearl.
Fancy Towels.
Huy linen bird’s-eye toweling by
the piece and make from this either
eight towels with hemstitched ends
or nine with scalloped ends. Of
course the handwork on the towels
adds to their beauty and value and
these could not be bought for less
than $1 each. Those with scalloped
ends could have glngle eyelets or
groups of them In each Bcallop. The
Initial can be surrounded with the
eyelets. Those with hemstitched
hems should have the simple Initial.
slightly drooping brim, shows what
may be called a tall shaft of white
ostrich which reminds one of the
work of the frost more than anything
else. If a small fountain were sud
denly clutched by the cold and made
solid in. the fraction of a second we
might expect some such white and
fragile mass of feathery ends. Against
the rich black of velvet in the hat, it
makes a superb show', startling and
new, but also elegant.
A bell-shaped hat of sealskin shows
a bouquet of short full ostrich tips in
white. There are just a dozen of
these beauties in the cluster. Nothing
could be made more simple, but even
so the hat is unsurpassed as a work
of milliner’s art. The shape is per
fect and the decoration exactly in har
mony.
A less pretentious hat of gray felt
shows a plain flat collar of velvet and
a swirl of shaded ostrich. In which
there are glimpses of cerise. The os
trich fibers are long and curled at the
ends. Different tones of gray are
beautifully combined w*ith cerise,
which appears to be veiled by them.
Less gray and more cerise appear as
the eye climbs the spiral and there is
a point of the vivid color at the end.
This is a fine model for a suit hat.

Before the Coffee Roasters’ Association, in aes
e lon at Chicago- on Thursday, Thomaa J. Webb, “* *
of Chicago, charged that there ia in existence a
coffee combine which is “the roost monstroUß im- .
position in the history of human commerce. ” . •*
There is very slight exaggeration about this ,
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There ia a coffee combine in Brazil, from '' /
which country comes the bulk of the coffee used " ’
in the United States, which is backed by the gov
emment of Brazil and financed by it, which .
pels American consumers, as Mr. Webb said, "to jJ*
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine *
exists.”
The worst thing about this is that the consum* .QJ
era of the United States have been compelled to SI
put up the money through which this combine, (Ar

There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon AC f\J~
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor man’s breakfast table, and the ’ I

thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty *
coffee up to the full amount of the former customs Ji/*
taxes in this country. The revenue which for- fr''

was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor - (jLKS'
