If you are 30 years old or under, or even if you are well on toward 40, and are sure you don't look it, then this felt hat in the picture will be suitable lor you. But it isn't fit ior a mid-dle-aced matron. It is a fawn-colored felt hat, with curved edges, trimmed with brown -velvet and leathers. On one 'side the ran of fashion bv inclosing their locks in the silken meshes which by some strange freak was once considered becoming. Hen have laughed at us for frizzing out our heads into the semblance of furze bushes; they have grumbled at the altitude to which we have aspired in dressing it, but surely their artistic souls are not so dead, their eyes for the beautiful so dim that they will ever encourage their fashion-ridden womankind to bring their hair down into the napes of their necks in the appallingly ugly net and so give their heads the ap pearance of a sofa cushion or a traveling pillow. I consider that our reputations are posi tively trembling in the balance while the popularity of the hair net remains unde cided, for what will tbey think of ns a few years hence when they see our portraits and our fashion plates and find that we stooped to a revival of this hideous mode? ' ii- ( The Novel Feature Gowns. Some of the most charming and popular dresses of the season are what might be fit tingly exiled "feature gowns." That is,such as include the most striking and artistic features of those that are pronounced renais sance. For example, here is a gown worn by a woman of perfect taste recently returned from Paris. The material is of soft, flexible cloth in crar warmed by an ecru tint The sleeves are of the pronounced Empire sort, close along the lower arm and with full puffs along the shoulder. At the band it is slashed about four inches and faced with satin. The upper part is turned back from the arm and the lower part down on to the hand. About the shoulders is a broad, frill-like cape of satin and at the waist-line is a narrow satin cincture. The skirt is cut with a demi-train and at the foot is a nar row satin ruffle headed with a thick cord of the same material nearly an inch across. With this are worn red shoes and red stock ings, and altogether it is a very chio and. modish costume. A Fetching Felt Sat under the raised brim a beautiful bow of velvet is placed which fastens an ostrich leather and an aigrette of fancy feathers. When it comes down to facts, the general character of hats for early winter has not changed materially as worn on the street. Everything is only a little more so than last summer, that is alL I reallv think the millinery windows are intended assort of liberal educators for us to study the styles in. The majority of buyers look with awe and some envy the hats on the "figures," but they end by getting their own idea of the mode, and it is framed upon what they actually see worn. The orchid-dragonfly confection that poUes on a brass candelabra in a milliner's window is a vision to behold, but not to be worn. For trimming the large felt has, the long Telvet bows will be found simply invalu able. Thev can be bought at the stores, and will form quite a sufficient trimming in themselves for many of the shapes now be ing worn. An exceedingly pretty bow is made of coque feathers in various shaded colorings, with a tall osprev in the center. The small coque aigrettes are very useful ITlnts to Uio Household. Collars and cuff's lio!c w ell when encased in a new box made especial.y for their re ception. It Is circular, irold lined and is exe cuted In applica satin finish. A'iw caudle shades imitating lace are ex quisite. The effect Is produced by the thick and thin po:celain with the lUht shining through. Thus far they are only in white, but very delicate in design. Shells are beautifully polished and placed upon silver tiipods and serve as bon-oon diilies. Mother-of-pearl spoons accompany these, and what a pretty way to utilize a shell, piecioas as a souvenir of place or friend! g) English wares have beautiful shapes In jardinieres and a very great protection to floor or standard aro tho added shallow trays to place them in, thus avoiding nil danger from drainage or moisture.

CAUSED BAD BLOOD. . Patrol Wagon No. 3 Wins the Frlze, but the Others Aro Not Satisfied. Considerable interest was displayed in the inspection of police patrol wagons yes terday. Except that City Hall was closed and the officials were taking a holiday, the inspection was the only municipal recogni tion of the day. Two wagons from each po lice district were in tho line drawn ujj In the Central station yard. Mayor Gourley, Chief Brown and Police Superintendent O'Mara officiated as judges. Several hun dred people witnessed the proceedings. The judges critically examined the appear ance and condition of wagons, harness, horses and men, and then unanimously de cided in favor of the Twelfth ward station Gourley presented the winners in the competition with a handsome gold han dled whip. It was donated by Joseph Loughrey. The Mayor, in a brief speech, complimented all the competitors, selecting companies 1, 3 and 7, in the order named, for special praise on their appearance. T. J. Morlev. one of the men on the Twelfth ward wagon, received the whip in a well timed speech, in which he claimed Pitts burg's police patrol service unexcelled in the United States. Some bad feeling exists as a result of No. 3 company getting the prize. Inspector McLaughlin, of the Second district, and Captain Stewart, of the Third, were each confident they would win, and the spirit of competition was so strong that various offi cers in the Second and Third districts wagered money on the result After the judges had decided they were inconsolable, and at last accounts were talking ot a com petition of their own for a purse subscribed by all who may enter.

They are too valuable to give away and they are too obtrusive in tne odd nooks and corners where they are stowed. "What shall we do with them? An ingenious young woman has answered the question. She hung her guitar on the wall and transformed it into a photograph holder by twisting and turning the strings so as to form loops and receptacles for her favorite pictures Of course the inevitable bright blue how is conspicuous, and ribbon of a terra-cotta shade on the handle of the guitar gives a contrast in color that is ef fective.

At nlcht by the light of the moon, the imposing form ol a virgin strays with un certain steps along the Danube's bank. She wrings her hands as she enters the water high up to her aist in quest of a ford, by which to pass over to the opposite side, while she raises her voice In lamentation, thus: "Do you not see that I have taken the last soldier from the recent battle, and that I must cross over? Oh, foaming waves, suffer this the last warrior to escape to the opposite bank, so as to be sneltered from the fury of the enemy, Let the bride pass. Show me the Iprd that I may not sec the Roman hosts trample on my dead. Let me, O Danube, cross thy gory waters." Thus wails tho virgin the long night through, wringine her hands in despair, while the waves of the broad Danube flow on unceasingly, mighty and iuerciles in the lieht of the bright moon, which looks calm ly down upon the dead as thev lie in shape less heaps. The chiefs of Dacia's heroes aie seated in solemn council, still brave and strong at heart- The most venerable amongst them looks around him in consternation as he flings xlown the plume Irom an eagle's wing, and a sigh rises irom the breast of each, for the leather indicates "the Romans are com ing." The youngest member of the Daci.i Council leans upon his shield, his eves sparkle, but his pale, frowning brow is "ex pressive of grave thought, while his long locks of hair, black as the raven's wing, rise and fall on his broad shoulders from the movement of his rapid breathing. He it is who takes a reed and casts it down near to the eagle's leather, his lips com pressed with scorn. "The leaves of the reed indicate the Romans, for they are loqua cious," he says. But one of the eldest of these warriors points toward the Danube, which is visible glistening betwixt the gl gantic trunks of the trees, takes a tus of water therefrom and pours out first drop, then a larger quantity, until at last the whole has gone out like a rapid stream, which hursts its bounds, spoils and devas tates fields and forests, and ever rising fed by tributary streams cleaves rocks and crags. Again a deep sigh rises from each breast. At last the old man speaks: "Can we not resist them ?" he asks. Then comes the whispered response of the youth, "Sola." The whispers grow deeper and louder in the mouths of the men who sit in exmncil, until they ask, "Sola? Art thou not afraid, .Nando? What makes thee so daring ? Can she have promised to be thy bride 7" The head of the young warrior fell de spairingly forward on his breast. ','She has sworn to choose him who shall be her hus band only after tho issue of the third battle. I await the third hnttl with ;,,..... The old warrior, full of ansietv, shates - T , .mv. a muud near to tne cagies plume. Then a cry as of one voice rises, "The Omeu, No, the Dacians are not discouraged, for our nation nill survive to confront the Romans, oven until a virgin shall espouse a corpse as her husband. " At day dawn on the banks ot the river glisten the arms of the warriors, for the maidens have washed the blood therefrom, and in song they invoke new victories for the brave. Sola catches the sunlight on her shiejd, and the brilliant rays that are reflected she throws back to the depths of the forest, to lighten its thick darkness, and to arouse the winged songsters that dwell there'in, but burnished steeLshows her own face so dis turbed and anxious, that one might imagine that it waj rather one ot the Fates, than that ol a charming young maiden. Her eyes blink not in the seorcblng rays of the sun, her hsnd trembls not as it touches blood on lance or aword. Among the viririns or wham 1. (. -m-.j.j . a whisper 1 heard, not nf ... 1 longing; grave and serious, like young priestesses serving the altar, they perform their self-imposed task. The sun is now at its zenith, and comes to redden the beauti ful cheek of Sola, while a glittering heat drop purls down her brow, fair as drifted snow, on to the crisp black curls below. At length the silence is broken, and the clus ter of maidens burst forth into song as they burnish the arms of their heroes. Their clear notes are heard afar. "Sweet river, uoble river, with thv soft streaming waves, I have seen thee person ified in a dream, under the figure of a war rior surrounded by his host. Thou hast raised thy lance, Jhou hast set out for the great battlefield. My dream is a bad dream, yea it has lied to me, tor thou keepest watoh and guard no longer, no more thou opposest thy strength against thoie who as sault us. My arm is raised against them in vain. Oh, river, river, help us to check these hosts. Or, if thou art afraid or faint hearted, rise up and swallow us, that we may be at peace, whilst thou roll'st on un feeling, unflinching, on over our young bodies, as thou drownest our cries and bearest awav our lamentations." " i . What is tllis noise heard in the forest? Its depths resound with the footfall of thou sands of men and horses, and with the clang and clashing ot arms. The virgins riso in wonder, and with fixed gaze look onward into the distauce as far as the eye can penetrate; but the forest seems to De unpeopled, ana the bints are even asleep on this sultry day. The strange muffled sound draws nearer, and with it the mysterious, invisible host. Then Sola, mute and pale as her snowy vestments, raises her arm'and points with it toward the right bank of the Danube where the dust as if from hundreds of flocks rises to the heavens, and through it is seen glittering the steel of the helmets and the points ot the lanoes, as they appear and vanish like lightning in black clouds. The forest rings wth a loud clamor, and then conies a fainter din from the opposite bank, where on the heights above & multi tude of workmen are hammering and cast ing and riveting around he fires which they have kindled and where their furnaces seem to burn pale and dim in the glare of noontide. At length tbey have riveted, and chained, and worked, until tbey are able to push forth a bridge formed ot boats) bat at th tad ci the day;, oosim olio the! end of hope. Weapons are clenched and menacing fists raised stifflv toward heaven, yet still the hordes come o'n and like to the waves of the ocean roll forward and ever forward. On that side of theDanube the hills, the plains and forests all seem to be alive with movement, advancing toward the river be low as if to stem its ourrent, or to fill up its bed. Sola and her companions look in silence on the doom which surely ap proaches them. Sola is ereot and Impas sive, her hand shading her eyes and their penoiled brows. On the opposite bank lances and shields still shine with a bloody glow, even the dust that rises from hill and val like thick smoke, this dust even grows red and the whole heaven seems ablaze as when forests burn, and are swallowed up in flame. Then softly and almost imperceptibly come the bluish shades of night, and spread themselves oyer alL It is the flag which is struck when the day is lout, and the host is vanquished. Sola stands and count the fires which are being kindled, as if to meas ure tho strength of the foes; she Slavs and counts until a vnnna. girl signs to her that the warriors are wait ing for their arms, which are ranged on the sandy shore. Then does Sola arouse her self, and turn her steps in that direction. Nando has been long standing, half bid den behind the trees. He looked neither at the Ramans nor at their bridge of boats, nor thinks he of the peril which threatens his people. His eyes are steadily fixed upon upon his arms. Is it Sola who has washed and cleaned them? Was hers the last hand that touched them after they were polished? He seizes hold of them rapidly, treading in the footprints - that are still warm from Sola's charming feet. But Sola advances cold as snow on the peak ot the highest mountain, snow which the heat of a July gun is powerless to dis, solve. She does not turn to look back, once only does she raise her bands above her head, let them fall again gently by her side, and steps rapidly onward. She is as the spirit of the night, the evening zephyr, soft, and cold, and flett. Nando clasps his lanco with passion to his breast and kisses his trusty shield, as if ho knew that it had refleoted her fair dear image. , c . - I '(- Have the waters of the great Danube grown red? Seems it that lountains of blood have been poured therein? Is it filled with troops of soldiers? Even the very waves seem calmed, for the river is laden with trunks of trees, so many trees it may be that a whole forest has bowed be neath the ax. Now the air vibrates with cries, and the rays of the sun be gin to be felt. The bridge is still there, and horse and foot pass over ant like in multitudes. The Dacian host is scattered and put to rout, but it collects its remnants togethsr, sueni. anu steaaiast lite a rock ot granite, on the border of the forest. Nando is borne along on a litter of branches, bleeding from his numerous wounds. Sola stands mutely by, she seizes the long tresses of her hair and beats her breasts three several times. Nando, vanquished by pain and loss of blood, closes his eyes, while the warriors bow their heads In sor row and despair. - But the Dacian host has rallied, their wounds pre healed, and Sola cuts of the thick meshes of her raven hair and binds them on to the point of Nando's lance, where they float In the wind, like an oriflamme gilded by the sun. She bids him go and savs: "you lead to victory and glory, for of a truth glory and conquest have been vouch safed to the Daoians." The Romans are routed, and Nando, beaming -with happiness, comes joyfully toward Sola, strong in his pride, and bear ing aloft the oriflamme whioh he had re ceived from her hand, and which had in deed been of miraculous service. "Sola," ho asks, "to-day jtro I worthy of thee?" She raises h,cr baud, and in silence holds up three extended fingers. The multitude is moved to compassion. Great heroes throw themselves down at her feet; women implore her to yield to Nando's prayer; old men entreat and even threaten ner In the same breath; all gather round the virgin, but their efforts are in vain. She shakes her head, and does but repeat, "After the third battle. 1 say; then will I fix upon mv choice, " Speaking thus with a constrained voice, she turns proudly away and disap pears within the darkness of her tent Vl 'lis the day of the third, battle. With. I their overwhelming forces the Romans have again entered the country. They overrun ana devastate it like a flood, which in spring is charged with ice blocks, and melting carry all before them. Even like as to a whirlwind which careers madly throueh the forest, uprooting trees, twist ing them and bowing them to the earth. The Dacians stand firm of foot, but seem ingly all is lost to them. Nando Is magnifi cent; his oriflamme,' steeped in blood,droops from his lance like the autumn moss from a monntain pine. His breast is laid bare by a fearful wound, and from it the blood wells forth in purple stresms. At length he falls to the earth, but still defends him self with his upheld sword. "Oh, Sola, my Sola, come near to me," murmur his pale lip "Sola, come nearer." From the thickest of the fight she still watches his oriflamme, sees it being gradu ally lowered, and at length lying prone. She hears the warriors in their death throes calling, "Sola, Sola." With her arms she makes a passage through the throng, and reaches Nando'at last; be is stretched pow erless on the ground, and is slowly drine from his wounds. He draws his last breath, and his eyes rest for a time, then slowly close In a last glance of love nnd faith on her She keels beside his lifeless form, takes bis thin hand, from which the sword has but just fallen, and cries out amid the commo tion and the strife, "Daoians, is not this the third day of battle? Behold my bride groom." The warriors are horror-stricken when they hear these terrible words, and a cry like thunder rises from among them. "We are then utterly lost; the omen did not He to us; this virgin is the cause of our calamity, and she mutt suffer. We are doomed, and the maiden fcho has brought death alike op all must perish." With her band in ope of Naudo's, with brave heart and smiling Up, unflinchingly she awaits the sentence inflicted on her by her own people. The hosts now fling themselves into the thickest of the" battle, and are mown down like ears of ripe corn, which fall voiceless and uncomplaining. Of the mighty Dacian warriors not one remains to mourn. There scattered on the earth lie all their lifeU.. hndiei. The-women rnth with fury into the cruel, j fight, so as not to become the prey of the Roman victors. At night time in the moonlight the nobis form of a virgin wanders o and fro on the Danube's bank. She wrings her hands as she enters the water up to her waist, and looks in vain for a ford by which to cross over td the opposite bank. She raises ber voice ia lamentation. "See you not, I have taken the last warrior from the thira battle? and I must cross over to the other side. Oh, foaming waves, let the last warrior pass over, go as to escape even after death the fury of his foes? Let the bride pass! Show me the ford so that I may not see my dead trampled under foot by tho Roman host. Let me, oh, Danube, pass through thy viuuu-uyea waves. Thus moans the virgin the long night through, but the mighty waves ot the broad Danube still flow on unceasingly, merciless and unrelenting in their course, under the calm moonlight, which looks down cruel and pitiless on the Inevitable doom of the brave Dacians and their numberless dead.
