BRILLIANT PLUMAGE AND STUFFED BIRDS WILL BE MADE TO PREDOMINATE ON THE CORRECT NEW FALL MILLINERY MOST FASHIONABLE HATS, WILL BE SUCH AS TO AROUSE OPPOSITION OF AUDUBON SOCIETY. , r ( z: t t jsrl ; V' - ' ' ' ' f l ' tMfi ' ! Order 1 - - : - t feathers are of a doen dazzling shades of sreen. shading Into black and white. Quite the nobbiest thing ever fash ioned, according to the milliner who sounded Its praises, Is the little hat of purple shades shown In No. 2. This irregularly flaring little shape of purple felt shows that the small hat will vie with the huge and towering types for popularity. A broad band of peacock breast encircles the crown and a purple and green flare of wings. Issuing from under this band, spreads out over the crown and brim at' the right. Two huge golden cones at the front give variety and add richness to the mingled purple and green. One of the more pronounced styles is shown In No. 3. This Is a huge flaring affair of black velvet brim, and a silken crown, very similar In shape to the old fashioned "stovepipe-' hat affected by Important masculine personages of a pbst generation. This hat Is Intended to be worn at a rakish angle and Its only trim ming Is a sash of heavily-dotted net, all black (as Is the entire hat), and secured at the side with a Jet buckle and two huge dangling cones of jet, strung upon Jet chains. Two of the new styles, which are de clared to be In the smartest class, by reason of the huge birds used Jn the trimming, are shown In No. 4 and No. 6. The . first shows a flaring brim of gray felt and velvet, with a broad crown swathed In bands of gray silk and velvet in blended shades and with elaborate puffs and rosettes of the same; at the left side, snuggling 1n the gray folds of a huge rosette.

The heavy creations of velvet and felt, top ped by masses of feathers, plumage or stuffed birds, come a a distinct shock, yet they are satisfying to the curiosity, which begins to beset us about this time, as to what manner of headgear we are to have decreed for us when our light Summer creations of straw and gauze begin to fade quite noticeably and be come Impossibly "ancient of days." And this kind of shock will not be the only one occasioned by the new Fall style of millinery, for It is announced that the very smartest offerings of the milliner for the new season will be dis tinguished by a feature that will cause all the antl-blrd-slaughter societies to rise in arms. Large birds, triumphs of the taxidermist's skill, and complete In every detail, even to the last tall feather and the feet, It Is declared, will distin guish the very nattiest and smartest of the new hats. The owl, in all colors. and the parrot and pairakeet In the most brilliant of natural tint it is fur ther declared, will lead the bird family In the race for popularity, and the larger the bird the smarter the hat. The milliner. If Dame Fashion's ad vance rumors be true, will defiantly throw down the gauntlet and challenge the bird-protecting organizations to a battle royal, and the societies which have tolled so long and so strenuously against the slaughter of feathered Innocents for the decking out of women's millinery will have an excellent opportunity of finding out Just how far their Influence extends. If the antl-blrd-slaughter crusades have wrought any considerable reform among the women of the Nation, milliners all over the country will find themselves burdened with unsold and unsalable stock, while several large Importing con cerns, making a specialty of securing Im mense quantities of plain birds from for- eign countries, will find themselves swamped lnflnancial disaster. The mil liner and the Importer of stuffed birds, however, are still strong In their faith that the decree of Fashion comes before all else with the woman who patronizes Uie millinery establishments most liber ally and are willing to wage fortunes In expensive stock upon the outcome. Some of the advance millinery, styles for Fall are shown In the accompanying pictures, from a random selection In th wide variety being displayed In the mil linery department of a local outfitting concern. In No. 1 Is shown a small hat, the tall crown of which Is almost hidden In a huge mass of brilliantly-tinted feathers. The hat itself Is of soft green felt, with a narrow, down-turning brim, and the height of Its towering crown Is broken by three horizontal bands of green vel vet: the blended hues of the massed CITY IN TWO STATES, AT ONCE The Town of Bristol, Where One Side Is in Virginia and the Other in Tennessee. Washington (D. C.) Star. THAT, contrary to Biblical statement, a "city divided against Itself can stand la shown most strangely In the peculiar case of Bristol. Va.-Tenn. The town la literally divided In half by the state line that separates Virginia and Tennessee. One side of the main street is In the Old Dominion and the other In the Volunteer State. "If a city be divided against Itself, that city cannot stand" but. without Inten tion of disproving the statement In St. Mark's Gospel, it may be stated that Bristol does stand. Its existence, though, has been most stormy and all civic questions are fought out stubbornly by the various factions. Aside from the troubles innumerable of this unique town ship, however, a condition unparalleled, perhaps. In any other city In the coun try exists. For example, a man may commit a misdemeanor In the Virginia half of the town, step across the street into Ten nessee and be Immune from arrest for a tune at least. Or. a couple may get mar ried on one side of the main street after having been refused a license on the other. Bristol has two municipal gov ernments and two Mayors, and two sets of other officials. The state line runs In the center, of the streetcar track on State street for more than a mile. A novel plan of evad ing the Tennessee Jim Crow laws as af fecting streetcars was devised when the Legislature passed a statute requiring negroes to be seated In the rear of the cars and apart from the whites. On State street half of a car is in Virginia and one-half in Tennessee. To evade this law it is only necessary to have the colored passengers ride on the side that Is run ning in the Old Dominion, and by so do ing they may ride with a passenger who Is In Tennessee, but who is powerless to compel the conductor to enforce the Jim Crow law. There Is also a difference in the mar riage laws. In Bristol. Tenn.. the only prerequisites to the issuance of mar riage license are that the prospective , I bride be 16 and the groom 18, while In the city across the state line It Is necessary 1 for all applicants for such license, where either party Is under 21 years of age. to have the written consent of their par ents or guardians. The result Is that Bristol, Tenn., is a sort of Gretna Green for eloping couples from neighboring states whose rigid laws withhold matri mony from infants that are eligible In Tennessee. However, there Is a slight difference In the price, as the license In Bristol, Va., only costs SI. while in Ten nessee, just across the street th,e same document sells for 14.60. A few weeks ago a couple applied to a Bristol, Va., preacher to be married, and when he questioned them he found that the girl was too young to be married in Bristol. Va., and that the ceremony must take place In Tennessee. The minister did not wish to lose the fee. so after the couple had obtained a license in Ten nessee he Informed them that he could not lawfully perform the rites of matrl money out of Virginia, but added that he had struck upon a plan whereby he could marry them. He stationed the couple Just across the state line In Tennessee, and standing in Virginia himself he per formed the ceremony. The best legal au thorities held that the marriage was legal and binding, though outstde of Virginia the minister would have had absolutely no authority to perform the rites of mat rimony. The fact that the principal thorough fare Is directly on the state line permits men in business to choose the state in which the laws are more favorable to their business in which to locate, and yet not sacrifice the advantages of be ing on the principal street. For In stance, if the state license tax In Ten nessee on a certain business is S200 per year and It is $100 In Virginia, a man entering this business can be in Bristol, Va.. to the same advantage, and save $100 per year on license. The result Is that some lines of business are repre sented almost exclusively In one city, on account of cheaper license tax or some other consideration of that character. The Tennessee law which prohibits the sale of revolvers and otheV small fire arms within the state Is robbed of Its effect In Bristol, for tne reason that Vir ginia has no such law, and hardware stores and sporting emporiums in that part of the city which Is in the Old. Do minion carry them regularly in stock. In Bristol hundreds of persons work in Tennessee and sleep in Virginia, or vice versa. To a stranger this is very un usual, but those who have lived there for years think nothing of it. While there Is considerable rivalry mostly good-natured between the two cities, their interests- are common and they are for all purposes one city. The Chamber of - Commerce and other civlo organizations are composed - of citizens of both. It was on the spot where Bristol now stands that General Evan Shelby, the fa mous Indian warrior, the father of Gen eral Isaac Shelby, the latter first gover nor and "father of Kentucky" settled and built the first white man's cabin west of the Alleghanies.' The little log hut, which was preserved until a few years ago, stood almost directly on the state, line, and In It General Isaac Shelby, who won fame at King's Mountain, was born. The body of General Evan Shelby now sleeps on the state line between the two great commonwealths. In Bristol. Daniel Boone, the famous pioneer set ter, also settled' near Bristol and the state line, and the Inscription he carved upon a beech tree not far from Bristol is still plainly visible. It Is as follows: "Daniel Boone killed a bar." Union and Nonunion Labor. PORTLAND, Aug. 21. (To the Editor.) I have noticed whenever alterations were to be made at any of Portland's retail establishments, restaurants, etc, and for that matter even at public or private buildings contemplated or under construction, that representative labor unions at once appear and demand that none but union labor should be employed. As far as the unions are concerned, I consider this a good stroke of business. However, considering that unionized ia bor only represents a small percjntage of our population and of our labor element. Is it Justice that they should be recog nized to the exclusion of everybody else? Should not the American principle- of fair play be paramount and the open shop principle adopted, and should not the "work-giver" Insist that no discrimina tion be allowed to either union or non union labor?

Because of the lack of contrasting colors, the detail of this, the very smartest of the new Fall styles, according to the millinery prophets, can not be shown In the picture, but the f- fect is startling Indeed, and It is said that this manner of trimming, particu larly the huge owl as an ornament, will be a distinguishing feature of the very nattiest items of millinery in the Fall stock. 45 M 1 ARK this down as one of the most important things you have to do tomorrow, .If you forget, and wait till late in the week, we can't make delivery prompt ly We're tremendously busy and working for all we're worth, trying to see that none of Portland's more discriminating beer-drinkers have to go without their fa vorite hot weather drink.
