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. Is the head and body of

EVEN while we are itlll sweltering in
the Summer sunshine and wondering
how we can manage to keep cool In
the filmiest of lingerie frocks and the
lightest of straw shade hats and "Char
lotte Cordays," we are confronted by
the appearance, in the show windows, of
"advance styles In Fall millinery." 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

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? ALEXANDER KUNZ.

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.
