American textiles have been mak
ing rapid advancos in Oneness and dis
tinction of weave. This holds good es
pecially of cotton, but is true of wool
and silk as well. This remarkablo
advance in tho art of weaving Is
brought forcibly to mind by tho now
"fabric furs" manufactured for tho
coming season. Last year wo called
them "fur-cloths," which is a truly
descriptive name for them. But man
ufacturers, having made some of them
so like tho fur of animals in appear
ance, have newly named them, and
fabric furs thoy are.
Not all of tho cloths of this kind
aro woven to imitate furs. Ejome of
them are supple with silky surfaces
and aro used for costumes. Many
others aro of a heavy fur-liko texture
and are used for topcoats and as
trimmings on other cloths. With tho
advance of tho season they aro like
ly to appear often in muffs and neck
pieces. Already at tho milliners be
witching three-piece sets, including
turban, muff and , neckplcco, are
shown made up in these fabrics, and
often thoy are trimmed with bands
of real fur. These new textiles aro
rich in appearance and very durable.
Thoy combine tho warmth of fur with
Little Girls' Hats, Made by Home Milliner
Thero are somo styles lp millinery,
especially In that designed for small
people, that aro always good. Tho
"tam" reappears season In and out,
only varied by differences as to size
and fabric or color and trim. It is
always suro of a welcome by mothers
and misses. From four years up tp
the ago whoro the young lady forgets
to have a birthday all tho maid asks
of It Is to keep in lino with fashion's
vagaries.
A pretty tam for tho mlsB from four
to sixteen Is shown hero. It Is mado
of dark velvet (In this particular In
stanco midnight bluo. with two-color
cord trimming and a whito pendant
cord and tassel of silk. Tho cord
trimming is of white and tho color of
tho tam.
Tho hat at tho left is a familiar
shapo with crown slightly higher thun
in tho last two seasons, and soft at
tho top, as beseems a shapo that
proclaims that it is up to date. It Is
covered with velvet and tho top with
a band of ribbon, shirred on about tho
lower part of tho sido crown. A nar
row rufllo Is loft upstanding at each
edgo and that at tho lower edgo rests
on tho brim. Hero It covers tho band
of whlto fur that makes a soft Huff
about tho face of tho llttlo miss,

tho topcoats mado of fabric furs do
serve to bo called magniilccnt.
Ono of the plainer coats for general
wear is shown hero. It is made oi
a familiar weave in fabric fur imitat
ing Persian lamb, The coat llaroa
from tho neck down at tho back,
but nts smoothly above tho bust line
with a gradual flare below. It is some
what double-breasted, fastening in a
slanting lino at the front with hand
somo dark mother-of-pearl buttons.
Tho sleeves aro roomy, set in a long
arm's eye. Their fullness is confined
in an ample cuff.
Tho high, straight collarband sup
ports a wide turnover at tho sides and
back and fastens with two buttons
Hkn those at tho front, but smaller.
Largo and practical patch pockets at
each sido aro also finished with but
tons. This coat is in very dark brown much
like seal brown but having a slight pur
pllsh cast. Inlays of gray velvet at
yie collar, cuffs and pockets harmon
ize with it and add a smart finish.
Tho Ingenious cut of the pockets and
cuffs bears witnesB to tho art of the
designer, for it is in such novel llttlo
touches that distinction lies.
Tho underside of the brim Is cov
ered with a shirring of whlto satin rib
bon. This hat is ono of those that tho
homo milliner may undertake to mako
with every chance of success. She
is first' to secure a light buckramette
framo and unless tho framo Is made
wit'1 a soft top crown of net, its buck
ram top crown is to bo cut out. It
should bo remembered in fitting a
frame that it should bo a llttlo largo
for tho head to allow for the facing
and lining.

u head-on collision between south
bound Missouri Pacific fast passenger
No. 101 and northbound freight a half
mile south of Oreapolln, about
eighteen miles south of Oinaha. Tho
collision was caused by a misunder
standing of orders on tho part of the

other at the Oreapolls siding. Mis
souri Pacific oflieluls also said they

niouth instead. The smash came on a

passenger at forty miles an hour and
the freight at fifteen. The passenger
carried Ave cars, the mail car, ex
press and baggage, two day coaches
and n diner. An explosion of one of
tho engine boilers followed the col
lision, and botli engines were prac
tically demolished. Physicians from
