THE NORTH PLATTE 8EMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. . Id hf' hW ,J ii i 5V "ir . . fc' ' k T MOST ELABORATE ARE THE COIFFURES FOR THE EVENING IF devotees of fashion follow tho lead of costumers and the big de partment stores, thoy will wear such sorgeous nnfl conspicuous head dresses as wo have- nover seen. It seems, since lovely woman may no longer wear a hat at tho theater, she will take to coiffuro ornaments quite as picturesque) and more unusual than anything tho milliners havo ventured to make in tho last century. Tho most gorgeous gold and silver laces, Jeweled bands, swooning feathers and exquisite flowers are brought into requisition to make these headpieces beautiful. Tho opera season will reveal wheth er tho morn ambitious and imposing of theso brilliant ornamcntB havo ap- pealed to tho American great lady or not. But even) if she rejects them they will have an influence upon the modes of tho winter in coiffure orna ment. East India Bcems to have inspired many of the elaborate and novel head dresses which are being dis.plnyed in anticipation of tho opera season. But no matter what their source, tho new liead-dre3ses are dazzling. Many of them are so large they might be classed as crownless hats. It is not likely that these extronies of size and gorgeousness will be generally worn oven among the ultra fashion able. What will come Into favor, Latest Fur-Trimmed Millinery j wr TWO attractive but not unusual hats are pfctured here, in which mllll nory furs nro used. Neither of tho shapos are Innovations In slzo or style, but both aro graceful and becoming. In tho hat with brim covered with moleskin it Is noticeable that the fur ti fitted to it, but on the uppor brim tho briin-cover'ng becomes a sort of soft sash about the base of tho crown. This Is a novo! and Interesting man agement of this exquisitely soft fur. The crown of velvet matches tho fur in color, and Is laid in' rather deop pleats, giving a more ample fullness than appear in most crowns. Tho vol vet is supported by an interlining of crinoline. The fancy ostrich "stick-up" at the sldo Is white. Many hats In this color nre adorned with similar fancy feath ers In tho orango and tango shades, combined with paprika, and tho color combination is splendid. Nearly all colors harmonize with mole color, so that tho fancy feather may be chosen iGtsr.. ;sav i. IM I' liill ii IBl'lM1 'M '":.. -fc ' 's?'-?:: ,&?'

Tho broad baud Is made of gold braid In a lattice work pattern, stud ded with rhlnestones at tho Intersec tions of tho braid. Similar pieces nro made of pearl beads and any other mock Jowol thht suits tho wearer. Ornaments, feathors and flowers, often add further embolllshmcnt to coiffuro decorations of this character. Such elaboration In ornaments pre supposes moro olaborato coiffures also. Thcro is no limit to latitude in BtyleB at present. What will happon as a result of this exploitation of ex tromo ldbas, will bo a general) use of decorations for the hoad, othjr than hats, for evening wear. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Elderly Lady's Wrap. Supplementing the really warm wrap whlcn tho elderly lady leaves in her limousine whon entering the opera house oi" a theater, Is a transparent af fair said to be for tho purpose of warding off vagrant draughts' from her shoulders, but actually designed to conceal her flguro. This wrap, In gold or Bllvor-strlped black or white gauze, In plain mallnos or in chiffon, is unllned and easily mado, for it is simply a throe-yard length of tho very wldo material now in general use. At each end it is gathered into wrist bands concealod by frilllngs and about tho center of tho back, all of the full ness is gathered Into tho edges of a four-Inch dlamotor circle of tho same material., When worn, tho gauze, ma lines or' chiffon falls in soft folds about the bust and hips and vails, whl! it does not actually hide tho bare shoulders and arms. Newest Mantles. An essential point of the evening ninntle, and one which tho daytime coat shares, Is the wrap effect which brings with It plenty of possibilities for the use of rare and lovely clasps and ornaments. The three-quarter length Is advised on account of its lightness of weight and because It docs not tend to crush a very fragile frock nor to hide it unduly. One mado for a bride whoso pro clivities are artistic was carriod out in tho most splendid dull deep orange brocaded upon dark garnet velvet and trimmed with black fox flecked with whito in great tufts, uncommon and remarkably handsome In appearance. Suspenders With Skirts. An Interesting novelty is the sus pender made similar to men's sus penders Those of black velvet, fin ished with gorgeous buckles, are par ticularly striking. TheBo suspenders are dressy rather than tailored In ef fect, and are especially appropriate to wear with tho new black separate skirts and fancy lace blouses. "' to suit tho preference of tho wearer. That shown In tho picture Is typical of (ho season. Theso stick-ups look fragilo, and aro strong. The ribs of natural feathers aro used for Bteras, surmounted with their natlvo flues or others. A band of whito fur and an ostrich plume in white trim tho graceful black velvot hat which appears In tho other picture The crown is small and boft in this model merely a lined puff of velvet. A broad French plume, with quill end thrust through tho brim, Is quite modest as to height, compared with extremes which havo becpnio pop ular. Worn with this brilliant hat is a neckpiece of marabout and ostrich, showing strips In white, white and black and all black, making a wide scarf that Is very dressy and very comfortable. Although tho down of marabout looks so airy, It seems al most to generato warmth and looks as cozy as it feels. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. V. A$fc. A As&Ailfc As&A;K. Uk A&A& Atffc A BACK TO THE GARDEN By LESLIE DAVIS. Professor Harrow sat In tils Btudy In tho big city collogo nnd tapped his desk restlessly, ProfcBsor Harrow waB young and energetic enough to be Impatient. "If they nro over going to send me that assistant," ho muttered, "I wish they would hurry him along." Ho turned back to tho work of mak ing notes. "Primrose Variety No. 7. Bare. Pink and white. Fragrant. Sometimes found In unexpected places whon It has escaped from gardens. Does not flourish" A light tap at tho door interrupted. "Come In!" called Professor Har row. A girl stood In tho doorway. She had light brown hair and big eyes and her faco was a dainty combination of whito brow and pink cheeks. She woro a pink llnon dross with wide white collar and cuffs, for though It was October, tho city wnB suffering from tho last burst of heat. "I bellevo I am to bo your assistant," she Introduced herself. "My name Ib Chloo Curtis." Tho professor contlnuod to stare. "Tho very description," ho noted, as though thinking aloud. "Baro, pink and white. I wonder whero Bho es caped from." Miss Curtis returned his gaze with Indignant surprise. "Escaped?" sho echoed. "Weren't you expecting a secretary? Why should you think mo a lunatic?" "I didn't: I thought you were a primroso," answered Professor Har row, confusedly. Then ho remem bored his manners nnd sprang up to give her a chair. "Excuso me, MIbs Curtis, please." ho apologized. "I was puzzled for a moment. You see, I expected a (man to bo sent. Can you soo well thero? Is tho chair comfortable?" Chloe affirmed that all was to her liking. Sho sat down, produced her pencil in a most businesslike manner and awaited orders, but tho professor could see that she was regarding him curiously from tho corner of her oyo as though sho thought him a very queer croaturo Indeed. "If you aro ready, wo will begin," ho doclarcd with dignity. "I will read and you may make notes. 'Primrose. Variety No. 7. Rare. Pink and white. Fragrant. Somotlmos found In unex pected places when It has escaped from gardens.' " "Oh-h," broke from tho lips of the new assistant, her cheeks growing pinker as his meaning came to her. "Oh, I see!" "You do, do you?" retorted tho pro fossor; then they looked at each oth er and laughed. "It was perfectly plain," explained Professor Harrow, "that you had es caped from some garden or other. Tho city varieties aro likely td bo white." "I've- escaped from East Wilton," announced the girl, blithely. "I've como to tho city to make my fortune. I'm tho luckiest girl in the world!" "Lucky to leave tho glorious coun try?" Tho natural world was a pas sion with Professor Harrow. "Lucky to exchange birds and flowers and free air spaces for pavements and dust nnji noiso?" ' I "1 am tho oldest of sovon children," returned Miss Curtis, gravely. "I moan to take caro of myself and East Wilton Is noV u. good place to make a fortune. Shall we go on with the work?" "'Does not flourish with transplant ation,' " resumed tho professor. "Ah, Miss Chloe, thero's your warning!" "Perhaps the plants that havo tried being transplanted havo not been suf ficiently harrowed," remarked Miss Curtis, calmly. "Do you suppose that could bo it?" Tho startled professor gazed at her suspiciously. Hor faco was vory bland, very demure, but tho twinkle In her eyo could not be suppressed. '"Variety No. 8!'" cried the profes sor, and tho writing went on. Miss Curtis proved to bo a valuable assistant. Sho loved tho work and her enthusiasm and faithfulness sent Protestor Harrow's lectures speeding on their way. Sho scorned to bo pros poring too. "I've sent ton dollars homo to moth er as a prcsont," sho confided in him gleefully at Thanksgiving time. "And I havo twenty-flvo dollars saved be sides. Who eayB transplanting isn't the road to fortuno?" "Good!" tho professor rejoiced with her. Ho knew sho was working hard for tho hours with him In tho morning wero only part of what she had under taken. As for himself, he tried to think that his extreme content with life carao from tho fact that his work was marching along so satisfactorily, but when, during tho Christmas holidays, he had spent one restless lonely morn ing working nlono In his study, tho truth camo Buddenly upon him. "It Isn't tho work at all!" he cried, "It's Chloo! I love hor and I want her, I want her, I want her!" Ho roso and paced tho study, filled with a hunger for hdr sweet face, a longing to gathor her In his arms and tell her how ho lovod her, how ho wanted hor all for himself, to keep nnd to cherish llko tho dainty flower which sho had always seemed. And then camo a blow; ho had to leave hor! Thoso in authority decid ed to send him south to Btudy certain specimens of flora at first hand nnd for two weary, dreary months ho trav eled about, working hard but with his only floral Interest tho condition of transplanted primroso in tho north, hlo only comfort the gay Uttlo notes thnt camo In answer to his longer ones. In these missives sho seemed so blithe that whon ho first saw her, af ter his roturn, hor paleness startled him. However, his greeting sent n quick color back to hor cheeks and hor sweet, rather shy wclcomo filled his soul with joy. Sho scorned so quickly pleased to havo him back that it gavo him courngo to proposo a lit Uo festivity. "Miss Curtis," ho began, "won't you help mo celebrato my homo coin, lug? Lot mo come for you this aftor noon and wc,'ll havo dinner. I know a dollghtful little place. And then won go to a play; what would you llko best to see?" Miss CurtlB turned and looked out tho window. "I am sorry," sho an swered, coldly, "Hut 1 havo nn engage ment for tonight." For a mlnuto Professor Harrow wan too downcast Iq spenk. "I Bee," ho said, presently. "Well, good morning," and with a bow ho loft tho Btudy and walked blindly down the hall. "I waa mistaken," ho kept whlspor lng to himself. "Sho doesn't caro at all!" It wnB not until ho reached the Btrcot that ho realized ho had forgot ton tho notes for his lecture that af ternoon. Ho must go back and me chanically ho retraced his Btops. Ho pushed open the study door ox pecting to And the room ompty. Thoro in his chnlr sat Chloo Curtis crying as though her heart would break. "Chloo, dear!" ho Bprang to her. "Tell mo what tho mattor is!" It scorned tho only thing to do to tako hor In his arms nnd brush tno tears away. It filled him with delight that sho did not try to oscapo; sho Just snuggled down as though sho bo longed thero. "I wnnted to go with you bo much nnd I mado you think I didn't!" "Then why did you answer mo that way, dear?" "I didn't hnvo anything to woar!" In a forlorn wall. In splto of hlmsolf, Professor Har row laughed. "Oh, Chloo," he pro tested. . "I'm not Joking, I'm shabby from head to foot. And I'vo only that worn old coat I brought from homo for out side. I couldn't go with you that way!" "But Chloe." ho cried, anxiously, "1 thought you wero prospering. You said you wero saving monoy." "I haven't saved a cont Blnco bofor? Christmas. Oh, I confoss, I hnven't flourished In transplanting. I could havo managed It nlono, I shall yet, but you see thero was Sarah, too." "Who 1b Sarah?" ho asked, pus zled.- "Sho bonrds where I do. Sho cann: from tho west to earn her living but sho got 111 and lost hor place. The doctor's bills mado It awful." ",And you'vo been paying for her?" ho cried. "What else could I do? Would yoi havo had mo desert her?" Humbly, Harrow raised her hands to his lips. "Chloe," he said, "I've been offered a new position. Thoy want mo to tnko a ploco of land out sido tho town and Btart an experiment station. Can't you lovo mo a little and come with me, back to tho gar den?" In answer, Chloe lot him keep the hands. "Not a llttlo!" sho whispered. "Oh, how I missed you and wanted you whilo you were away! Tako mo back to tho garden nnd nover, nevor lot mo cscapo again!" .(Copyright. 1913, by the McCluro Nw. vpnper Syndicate.) Cheaper Than New. He peered anxiously Into tho shop where sporting supplies aro sold, slow ly entered, and as slowly advanced to a counter, whoro a clork was stand lng. "Do you keep goir goods?" ho aaked. "Yes, sir. What do you doBlre?" "I am looking for a second-hand sot of golf links. "A second-hand Bet of golf links?" exclaimed tho astonished assistant, "Yes. You see, It's this way. Mo and my wife havo Just opened a smart bonrding house, and as wo havo a pretty sized yard, I thought It would attract hoarders If wo could start up this golf game I hear bo much about. A second-hand Bet of links would be cheaper than now ones, and; thoy'd do well enough to begin with." "No," replied tho dlplomatic'asslBt. ant, "I am sorry to say wo havo sold out all our second-hand sots. Anything elso In our lino?' "Nothing else." And tho bargain hunter departed. Glvlno Themselves Away. Tho Into Mayor Gaynor was ono day certBurlng a hypocrite. "Hypocrites," ho said, "whether thoy aro correcting tho Boclnl evil or starr ing factory girls, always glvo them selves away. Thoy remind mo nf tho tramp.

SEN0R MANUEL Manuel do Zamnconn, onco Mexican mlnlstor at Washington, arrived In this country a short whilo ago on a mission from President Huorta. Ilia mission was Bald to bear somo sora bianco to that of Ex-Govornor Lind, who was sent to Mexico by President Wilson. It is understood thnt Zama cona was Huorta'n personal repre sentative, and did not possess an official status. Thoro Is some ground for tho belief, howovor, that Zamacona had the sanc tion of (ho so-called dictator of Mexi co for an endeavor to reopen tho ne gotiations which had been nt a stand still since tho last note of Foreign Minister Gamboa, turning down tho proposals of Prosldont Wilson. t Whon ho left Maxico City, on routo for Washington, It was said ho was going to soo tho several members of President Wilson's cabinet In an at tempt to negotiate a loan to put Hucr- ta'n government on a substantial financial basis, and to mako a desperate offort to raise at least $C,000,000 In gold to pay tho Interest on tho National railway bonds, which fell duo on October 1. President Wilson and his cabinot members, howovor, refused to opou negotiations with Sonor Zamacona as a representative of tho Huorta admin istration, and therefore, It is snld, his mission, bo far an the loan la concerned,, waB a failure.
