Feather Economies.

One of the economies which have )een adopted in Paris, to some extent. • the imitation ostrich plume of vegetable silk. This is designed to represent not only the ordinary curled feather, but the uncurled "pleureuee” is well. Though it is hardly likely to iecelve the most credulous. It Is quite effective and costs about one-tenth as much as the real article. Another and even prettier scheme Is the ostrich plume which is fashioned of lace of the finest and flimsiest description. This, of course, makes no attempt to deceive any one or even to look sufficiently like the original to more than suggest It. Still it ta an attractive and piquant Invention which provides a pretty trimming tor a hat. and for those who cannot afford the costly and 'Almost prohibitive ostrich plume It makes a satisfactory substitute. /
