Of American Design By JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Nearly all tho millinery worn In 'this country Is designed within our own boundaries. Eton tho tlction of 'lta French origin Is growing out of favor. This does nol mean that wo 'owe nothing to tho French, but that 'we could bo quite Independent of Uhejn It wo choso and that wo havo designers In our midst who under stand our needs and nlBo how to do 'sign beautiful millinery, and wo havo come to understand this. These very simple, very pretty and '"very American" (If ono may bo al lowed the expression) designs are pic tured hero. They aro selected becauso 'they belong to that class of lints 'which -the homo milliner may trim 'for herself. A big, rather flat felt hat In tho color called - "taupo" an elephant gray Is shown In Fig. A' messalinb ribbon in tho same color Is plaited about tho crown and finished with a folded band. Tho cluster of skeleton plumcsat the side is in n brilliant flame red and mounted with a cabo-. chon in gun metal, harmonizing with the color of the hat. There nro various color combina tions which can bo worked out sue-. ccssfully in this hat and although Its trimming Is so simple, itls, a clever and chlc looking'waffaIr"whJchv. ono imay wear with perfect satisfaction. A velvet covered turban In dark bluo figures In tho second picture BEST MADE UP IN VELVETEEN Pretty Dress of Smart Design Adapted for Party Wear or for Sunday. Nothing is prettier for n girl's smart dress than velveteen. Hero we havo a really smart llttlo dross that would an swer qulto well for party wear, espe cially If made In some dainty color. The bodice Is cut with a lowsquaro neck and short open over-slooves, and Is made up on a fitting lining to which also tho skirt is joined. Tho nock and cage of sleovuB are outlined with fancy silk galloon. An undcrsllp ct cropo do chine, with laco yoko, is worn with it; and a wide ribbon sash 1b tied round tbi waist Materials required: Seven yards 24 Inches wldo, two yardB trimming, three-quarters yard sateen for lining, half-yard crepo do chino and three, eighths yard ploco laco for undcrsllp, and half-yard nainsook for foundation of slip- New Scarfs Are Long. Somo of tho newest scarfs are six yards long. Thoy aro as filmy ns a veil and ot couroo thoy must bo ar- raucod to slvv iho best results. Wings of palest gray, with dark bluo and Iridescent markings, and having small splotches or dots of black, form its trimming. Tho-pair Is mounted In the simplest manner on the. crown at the loft front. A Jet ornament and n band of groy velvet finish tho mounting. Hats of this character aro bought already covered and are to bo found In a great variety of shapes; The tendency toward simplicity of trim ming, so apparent for three seasons, is not only n move In tho direction of. good tasto but an advantage to those who undertake to trim their own mil linery. A moro elaborate hat Is shown in Fig. 3. Tho elaboration appears, how over, in tho mnklng of tho fancy feather, not In placing It on tho tint. Tho shapo may bo had ready covered in a variety of materials. It is shown in chamois skin faced with black, vel vet. Tho trimming Is a handsomo semi band mado of feather breasts, a sort of bow. effect, with a wing mounted nt the center. Theso are mado by tho manufacturers ready to mount, on tho hot, which requires no other trimming. Tho 'amateur milliner should bo careful In mounting: them to not place them too flat against ,tho shape. Very strong thread should bo used long, looso stitches and tho thread finally tied insldo the crown. TO PROTECT THE EMBROIDERY Lavender Flowered Bags of Chiffon 'Make Pretty Gifts and Have Distinct Use. Quite wonderful and most beautiful are tho lavender flowered bags mado as gifts and to hold tho most dollcato pieces of embroidery. They nro chif fon, white with some rambling spray in palo lavender. Tho bag 1b shirred into a lavender-covered circular bot tom, and at the top of Its 12-Inch height It is folded to provldo mnterlal for a caBlng, folded over an embroid ery hoop and sewed over It in casing shapo. There aro neither 'strings nor rib bons, but nftor tho work is put into tho opening- of the bag formed by tho Rhlrred-ln hoop, the bag Is twisted as it is dropped from the hands. Tho twist Incloses (he work as Bocurely as would a drawstring. Baby's Tray Cloth, Tho neatest tray cloth or table-cloth protector for baby who dines with the family Is mado from white oilcloth, but so covered with its own slip coyer of heavy white linen as to be con cealed from sight. Two pieced of hemstitched or scalloped linen vory heavy, smooth damask linen without n pattern is best are sown together along their edges so that thoro is a eldo opening into which to Blip tho oil cloth.

They are of satin in all tho dollcato ton,ca of yellow, green, pink, bluo and lavender ana are aiso eased with iuar &bou. .a Price of Elk Teeth. "During tho last five years the value of elk teeth has more than trebled," Mid- a western traveler at the Fred eric, according to the St. Paul Dis patch. "In 1904 you could get any um ber of fine specimens in Idaho, Mon tana, Washington and bordering states tor 2.60 apiece. " Now you will pay trom 7.60 to $10, and they are hard to get for even that The Apache, Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi ans used to have dozens of them In their possession and traded them for trinkets. But the redskin got wise to their value, and you can buy them trom a regular dealer cheaper now than from the Indian. The passing jf the elk and the great demand mado by the members of the Elk lodge' for teeth for emblems have boosted the jrlce." Tho traveler recited an Incident of in Oklahoman who bought a robe cov ired with, elk teoth from a Wichita Indian for $100. He cut off the teeth ind cleaned up $2)200 on the deal. A Drama on the Street. A remarkablo coincidence occurred it San Bernardino, Cal., one day late-' ly, whereby a couple about to be dl rorced were happily brought togother igaln. Mrs. Walter Preston was on tar way to the court to socure a dl rorco agalnBt her' husband when her little daughter darted In tho path of in onrushlng motor car. The moth ir'o screams attracted the attention )f a man who dashed in front of the machine, seized the little girl and leaped to safety as the automobile ihot by. The rescuer proved to bo tho iusband and father. Explanations ivcre soon mado, and the two made their way to the attorney's office, where Mrs. Preston tore up tho dl rorce complaint. Don't Weep Some people swell ud on "emotion" browed from absolute untruth. It's an old trick ot tho leaders ot tho Labor Trust to twist facts and mnko the "sympathetic ones" "woep at tho ico house." (That's part of tho tale further on.) Gompers et al sneer at, spit upon and defy our courts, seeking sympathy by falsely telling' tho people tho courts wero trying to deprive them of free speech and free press. Men can speak freoly and print opin ions freely in this country and no court will object, but they cadnot bo allowed to printmattpr as part- of a criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin other citizens. Qompors and bis trust associates started out to ruin the Bucks Stovo Co., drive Its hundreds of workmen out 6T work and destroy tho value of tho plant without regard to tho fact that hard earned money of men who Worked, bad been lnvosted thoro, Tho conspirators were told by the courts to stop theso vicious "trust" methods, (efforts to break tho firm that won't come under trust rule), but instead of stopping they "daro" tho courts to punish them and demand now laws to protect them in such de structive and tyrannical acts as thoy may deslro to do. Tho reason Gompers and his band persisted in try ing to ruin tho Bucks Stove Works was becauso tho stovo company Insist ed on tho right to keep somo old em ployees nl work whon "do union" or dered them discharged and some of "do pang" put on. Now let us rovcrse the conditions and havo a look. Suppose tho company had ordered tho union to dismiss certain men from their union, and, the demand being re fused, Bhould instltuto a boycott against that union, publish its name. in an "unfair list. Instruct other man ufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union. have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott it the merchants sold anything mado by that union. Picket tho factories whoro members work and slug them on tho way home, blow up their houses and wreck tho works, and even murder a few mom bcrs of tho boycotted union to teach tuora they must obey tho orders ot "organized Capital7" It would certainly be fair for tho company to do theso things If lawful lor too Labor Trust to do thorn. In such a case, undor our laws the Doycottca union couia oppiy to our courts and tho courts would order tho company to ceaso boycotting and trylnc to ruin theso union men. Sup pose thereupon tno company Bhould sneer at tho court and in open doflanco continue tue unlawful acts In a per siBient, careiuny laia out plan, pur posely intended to ruin the union and force Its members into poverty What a howl would go up from tho union demanding that tho courts pro tect tnem and punisn tnelr law-break lng oppressors. Then thoy would pralso the courts and go on earning a living protected from ruin and happy in tno Knowledge tnat tue people's courts could detenu tnem. How could any of us recolve protec tion iromiaw-breauors unless the courts havo power to, and do punish such men? The court Is placed In position where It must do one thing or the. other punish men who persist In defying Its peace orders or go out of 'service, let anarchy reign, and the more powerful destroy the weaker. Peaceful citizens sustain the courts as their defenders, whereas thieves, forgers, burglars, crooks ot all kinds and violent mombors of labor unions, hate them and threaten violence It their mombors are punished for break lng tho law, Thoy want the courts to let them go freo and at the same time leinand puulsbment for othor men "out ildo do union' whon they break tho law.

Occasionally jsb meet people who spend'' half their time telling what they are going to do and tho other half explaining why they didn't do It upright citizens. The noisy, violont ones get into office and the leaders ot the great Labor Trust know how to mass this kind of men. in labor con ventions and thus carry out tho load ers' schemes, frequently abhorrent to tho rank and fllo: so It was at tho late Toronto convention. Tho paid delegates would applaud and "resolute" rb Gompers wanted, but now and then somo of the real work- tngmen insist on being heard, some times at tho risk of their lives. Delegate Egan is roported to have said at the Toronto convention: "If tho ofneors of tho federation would only ndhero to tho law we would think n lot moro of thorn." The Grand Council ot tho Provincial Worklngmen's Ass'n of Canada has declared In favor of severing all con nections with unions In tho U. 8., say ing ''any union having its seat ot Gov't In Amorlca, and pretending to bo international in its scope, must flgut industrial battles according to Ameri can methods. Said methods havo con sequences which are abhorrent to tho law-abiding peoplo of Canada Involving hunger, misery, riot, bloodshed nnd muruor, allot which might bo termed as a result of tho practical war now In progress in our fair provlncos and directed by foreign emissaries ot tho United Miners of America." That is an honest Canadian view ot our infamous "Labor TrusV' A tow days ago tho dally papers printed tho following: (By tho Associated Press.)) Washington, D. C, Nov. 10. Char acterizing tho attitude of Samuel Gom pers, John Mitchell and Frank Mor rison of tho American Federation of Labor In the contempt proceedings in tho courts, of tho District ot Columbia, In connection with tho Bucks' Stovo and range company, as "a willful, pre meditated violation ot tho law," Simon Burns, general master workman of tho general assembly, Knights of Labor, has voiced a sovero condemnation of theso tbroo leaders. Mr. Burns ex pressed his confidence in courts in gen oral and in those of tho District ot Columbia in particular. A1TROVKD BT DELEOATES. This robuke by Burns was in his an nual report to tho general assembly ot his organization. He received the hoarty approval of tho dolegates who heard it read at tholr annual mooting in this city. "Thoro is no trust or combination of capital in tho world," said Mr. Burns, "that violates laws ottoner than do tho trust labor organizations, which resort to moro dishonest, unfair and dlshon orable methods toward tholr compoll tors than any trust or combinations in tho country." Mr. Burns said the action ot "theso so-called leaders" "would bo harmful for years to come whenoyor attempts woro mado to obtain moor legislation. "The Labor Digest." a reputablo worklngman's paper, says, as part of an article entitled "Tho beginning of the end ot Gompersism, many organ' lzatlons becoming tired of the rulo-or ruin policies which have been en forced by the president ot the A. F. of L." "That he has maintained his leader ship for so long a time in tho faco ot his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful worklngmon have seen for years must be abandoned, has boon on account partly ot the sent! mental feeling on the part of the or ganizations that he ought not to be de posed, and the unwillingness ot the men who were mentioned for the plaoe. to accept a nomination in opposition to him. In addition to this, there is no denying the shrewdness ot the leader of the A. F. of L.. and his political sa tcaclty, which has enabled him to keen a firm grip on the machinery of the or ganization, and to have his faithful henchmen in the positions where they could do blm the most good whenever tholr services might be needed.

"That his long leadership, and this apparent impossibility to fill his place has gono to his head, nnd mado him Imagine that ho is much greater a man than lio really Is, Is undoubtedly tho caso, and accounts for tho tactics he has adopted in doallnc with questions before congress, whero ho has unneces sarily antagonized men to whom or ganized labor must look, for recogni tion of their demands, and whero labor measures aro often opposed on account of this very antagonism, which would otnorwlso rccelvo support. rncro is no doubt but what organ ized labor in this country would be much stronger with a leader who was moro in touch with conditions as they actually exist, and who would bring to tho front tho now policies whlch.organ- lzod labor must adopt if It oxpects to even maintain its nroscnt standing, to say nothing of making futuro progress." wo quoto portions of another article a roprlnt, from the same labor paper: urganizod labor, through Its lead ers, must rccognlzo tho mistakos ot tho past If thoy expect to perpotuate their organizations or to dovelop tho movo ment which thoy head.

"it can bo said In oxtenuatlon of cer tain leaders of organized labor that tho procarlouB position which thoy oc cupy as loadors has had n tendency to cause them to loso sight of tho object bonind tho organization. Tho natural Instinct In man for power and position Is In no small meusuro responsible for tno mistakes ot tho leaders, not neces sarily In labor unions alono, but in overy branch ot socloty. This deslro for power and leadership and personal oggrandlzemont causes men who havo been earnest nnd slncero in their ef forts in tho start to dctorlornto into mero politicians whoso every act and utterance la tinged with the desire to cater to tho baser passions of the working majority in tho societies or organizations and this is undoubtedly true when applied to tho prcsont lead ers of tho Federation of Labor. Wo mention tho Federation of Labor par ticularly in this artlclo, because that organization Is tho only organization of labor which has yet found Itself In direct opposition to the laws of the land. Thoro aro othor organizations of labor whoso leaders havo mado mis takes, but thoy havo always kept them selves and tholr organizations within' tho bounda ot tho law and respoctcd the rights ot overy other man in con sidering tho rights ot thomsolvos and their constituency; whereas, the motto of tho Federation Is just the reverse, and unless tho leadors conform thorn selves and their organization In accord ance with the laws of tho land, tho leadors and the organization Itself must be disintegrated and pass into history, for in Amorlca the common sense of mankind is dovoloped to a greater extent than in any othor nation on the earth, and the people, who aro tho court ot last resort in this country, will never allow any systom to devalon in this country which docs not meet with the approval ot tho majority of tue citizens or tho country. "This must havo forced itself upon the loadors ot tho Federation by this time. If it has uot, the leaders must be eliminated. The organization whioh thoy head has done many meritorious things In times past and the peoplo are always ready ana wining to acknowl edgo the benefits which their efforts have brought to their constituency as a whoio, but at tho present time labor organizations in general, and the Fed eratlon ot Labor In particular, stand nerore the bar or publlo opinion, hav- Inn been convicted of selfishness and disposition to rulo all tho people of th country In the Interest of the few.
