THE SPARROW’S FALL
A MARTYR TO THE DEMANDS OF MIL-
LINERY.
And Olive Harper Thinks It Is a Shame.

dressing;.
[Special Correspondence.]
New York, Dec. 14.—“ There are no
Lirds in last year’s nests, ” sang some
poet, and I suppose the reason is that
women wanted the wings and tails of
the aforesaid birds to trim their winter
hats this year. The saucy little sparrow
has apparently been nearly annihilated,
if one may judge by tho number of
Wings, and often the whole birds, offer
ed by fashion. The Soft grays and
browns of rhose feathers go so well with
everything, and if there is anything
with which they will not exactly com
bine, why, it is not impossible-to dye
them a dark metallic blue, a deep car
dinal red or a glossy black, and one or
another of these will go where the de
mure and modest natural color would
not do. Poor little sparrows! As I look
from my window I see perhaps 3,000
or 8,000 of them flocking in the remains
of my vegetable garden, where sunflow
ers, radish, lettuce aud a perfect tangle
of morning glories wont to seed. There
they hop and chirp and chatter and pick
up the seeds, every little while flying
off in a buzzing cloud and alighting in
some neighboring trees, to come back
again as soon as tlio cause of their alarm
has gone, whatever it was. I think it
was cats, for bad boys with slingshots
are unknown here, and guns, are pro
hibited. All winter the fence outside of
the dining room window is covered
with impudent little sparrows, their
black eyes alert for the montent when
the pan on the ground will be filled
with crumbs. I think they knew when
it was mealtime for the family last
winter. I should miss the bright, amus
ing little sparrows greatly if they were
called upon to lay down their pretty
wings to decorate women’s hats. It is
one thing to pull out a few feathers
from a big brute of an ostrich in molt
ing season and another to kill the help
less little sparrow altogether. That last
sentence came so near being an Irish

bull that it reminds me of an advertfse
ment I saw in a paper recently to the
effect that some one offered to “kill
bugs and roaches permanently” for a"
consideration. And as wiser persons
than I have tried without success to per
suade women to spare the birds I will
say no more. There are very pretty and
ornamental arrangements of jet black
feathers and others with that marvel
ous iridescence that no human hand
could produce. These are used to trim
all black hats and some few bonnets.
The long, graceful paradise plumes are
added whenever they are possible. On
some hats we find eagle, hawk, para
dise, ostrich and aigret feathers all to
gether.
The round turban is turning out to be
a favorite. The crown is of plain felt
or beaver, and the brim is either gath
ered or plaited velvet or velours or some
times fur. In all cases the turbans are
becoming. The alpines for midwinter
are light in color, lower of crown and
with a more defined brim than before.
They may be trimmed quite lavishly or
with the simple ribbon baud. Veils are
made to reach only to the chin, and I
don’t think one can say any special kind
is better style than another.
The advent of the blouse made the
belt a necessity, and as various as are
those garments so are the belts, and
some are of gold or silver, set with imi
tations of precious stones. Some are of
plain gold in filigree work. Some are
narrow, others wide, and the buckles
vary quite as widely in size and style.
Leather belts, beaded belts and velvet
and ribbon ones are all fashionable.
These lead to the sashes, and they have
become very useful adjuncts to many
plain gowns, transforming them into

THE ROME TRIBLNE. WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 15. 1897
UNIVERSITY HOLIDAY.
Regius On 23d—Seven Rome Boys There,
and Al are Promin?L t.
The Christmas holidays will begin
at the state university, on Thursday
Dec. 23rd The second term of the
college course begins the first Tuesday
in January, '9B. »
Rome is, as usual, well represented.
Rome boys always stood well at the
university and the ones there now
are endeavoring to keep up tbeir good
reputation. They will be "home for
the holidays.
There are at present, seven boys
from Rome attending that college.
These are: Ben C. Yancey, ’9B Chi
Phi Fraternity aud member of Phi
Kappa Literary Society ; Hugh White,
’9B Sigma Mu Fraternity, member
Phi Kappa Society; J. B. Sullivan
’99 Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity.
Ptii Kappa Society; Paul H. Doyal,
’99, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity,
Phi Kappa; Robert C. Yancey,’ol, Chi
Phi Fraternity, Phi Kappa; Will
Hoyt, ’Ol, Chi Psi Fraternity, Phi
Kappa. 3
Among the offices held by these
boys may be mentioned: Editor in
chief of “The Georgian,” business
manager “Red and Black,” manager
tennis, manager track team, president
Phi Kappa Society Ist lieutenant
and sergeant major in the battalion.
Two members of athletic council,
editor-in-chief of “Pandora,” vice
president bicycle club and other
smaller offices.
Two Romans belong to the litrary
club two are on the track team; they
took one first, one second and three
third prizes in the field day a week
ago.
The boy s are all standing we’l in
their classes and are pupular among
the students, with the faculty, and in
society. During the spring term
more offices and honors will probably
be secured by them.
Von Gammon was one of the most
popular men in college. His future
at the university especially in athlet
ics. was brilliant. He was a member
of the class of ’ol, Phi Kappa society,
and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity.
He had just been elected president of
the Bicycle club. His sad death was
universally regretted.
This is the dull season at present.
Soon after Christmas baseball and
track athletics will begin and will oc
copy the spare time of the students.
But books, ’‘exams,” and drill we
have with us always. L C.
