Takes Money ami Buys His Master His Paper Every Morning. "Cap' is a wise dog. He buys tho paper every morning, and carries it home to his master to read. Unfor- tunately "Cap" cannot read himself. Cap Carrying Home the Paper. If he could, he would also get the news out of the paper. "Cap" is a black and white English setter, owned by A. E. Dayton of 11 Sumner street, Dorchester, says the Boston Globe. He is seven years old, and since puppyhood he has shown himself an unusual dog. All the com- mon tricks of dogs come easily to him, THE YOUNG MAGICIAN. How He Can Do a Coin Trick with Handkerchief and Glass. The performer exhibits a small glass, allowing it to be examined. He a3o requests the loan of a silver quar- ter, which is marked for identification. He exhibits a large colored handker- chief, showing both sides. Next he places the marked coin under the folds of the handkerchief and requests one of the audience to hold it firmly. He then places himself in such a position as to be able to hold one of n'Oam aaaavwjaaaar sSwAooB ammnBMmMeew BHQBMTTJr?1!.

At the word of command the handkerchief is pulled from the fingers of the observer, and at the same in- stant the coin is both seen and heard to fall in the glass, and both are in- stantly passed for examination. Procure two large red and white handkerchiefs, alike in pattern, and stitch both together by the four hems, or sides, having previously placed a quarter of a dollar between the two. This coin, of course, will fall one of the angles of the double handker- - TIT FOR TAT" SOCIETY. Jessie Was to Darn Jim's Hose and He Was to Shine Her Shoes. Jim and Jessie were twins, as much as two peas in a pod, with this awful difference one was boy and the other was girl. While Jim was enough to wear long and' pinafores, you really couldn't tell which was which; but he got rid of his curls and went into trousers, everything was changed. He began to put on lordly airs and to order Jes sie about Jessie opened her blue eyes at first in astonishment; she never thought about the trousers, but though she was only girl, she had plenty of spirit, and would not be im- posed upon. "I wish," said Jim one day, "that you'd mend these holes in my stock- ings, Jess," and he held up a pair of dreadful-lookin- g objects. "What will you give me?" asked Jessie. 'Til say 'thank you,' and let you watch me sail my new boat," he an- swered condescendingly. "That's not fair," began Jessie, and mamma broke in: "I should say not! If Jessie is to darn your stockings, there must be tit for tat Now listen to my plan for the winter, which, understand." and mam- ma shook her finger warningly, "must be followed rigidly. From to-da-y or- ganize a 'Tit for Tat' society. Jessie, I. know, will agree to darn your week's apply of stockings, in return for which, every Wednesday and Saturday yon mast play bootblack. If yon fail to polish her shoes on those days yon will be forced to carry the holes in year stockings over till the next week; and if Jessie fails to see that yoa are properly -- provided, the boots will go unpolished. Now, all in favor of my plan say 'Ay.'? "Ay, ay," they both cried, and it was adopted at once. 'If the boys and girls would like to know how worked, let them try it and see.

His chief delight is buying the pa- per. He is an early riser, and every morning he fidgets and whines about until his master gets up and gives'hlm two pennies, wrapped up in paper, with which to get the newspaper. "Cap" wags his tail happily when he starts out. with the money in his mouth, for Edward Everett square, which is not far off,l(for he knows he will find newsboy at the 'square, and that the boy will sell him a paper. If the boy is busy "Cap" waits his turn. Then he thrusts his nose up toward the boy, and opens his mouth. The newsboy takes out the little pack- age, and opens it "Cap" watches him anxiously when he takes out the money. On getting his paper he starts straight home. All the dogs in Bos- ton could not divert him from his path of duty. But "Cap" is cautious, and if he sees trouble coming his way he makes a detour. He is suspicious of strangers until he has satisfied him- self that they have no designs on his paper, and takes the middle of the street when he sees anyone approach- ing he thinks he cannot trust. When "Cap" gets home, and his master's paper has been delivered, he isa very merry dog indeed. The serious business of the day has been dispatched, and he feels' happy and re- lieved of 'responsibility. He watches the reading of the pa- per with satisfaction, wagging his tail as if to say: "You wouldn't have that if it were not for me." It would take considerable money to buy "Cap." chief as the latter is held in the cen- ter. Then request the loan of quarter and have it marked. Exhibit this marked coin in the right hand (the left being underneath the handker- chief), and as the fingers of that hand (right) pass beneath the folds it nips and carries with it the corner of the handkerchief containing the hidden, coin up and underneath to the center of the handkerchief, where it can be felt and held by the observer, at the same time palming the marked coin.

Needn't Take Off His Hat There is just one English nobleman who doesn't have to take his hat off to King Edward. This is Baron For- ester, whose ancestors in the time of King' Henry VIII. were granted this special privilege because of some service they performed for the crown. This was a noticeable feature of the king's coronation, but Lord Forester, after wearing his hat for a few mo- ments just to confirm this peculiar privilege of his family, took his hat off like the remainder of the crowd of English, Scottish and Irish noble men. , Mischievous Princes.-Th- e sons of Emperor William when they were younger were about as mischievous as any small boys could possibly be. Opening suddenly upon a courtyard was a staircase, at the bottom of which a guard was stationed.

Hard wood ashes are fine for the hogs. Impossible to get the poultry house too clean. Clean out the feed racks each time before refilling. The hen is in a peck of trouble when she has nothing to peck. The sheep pens should be dry and well covered with litter: Buckwheat is not as good as wheat for hogs. Apt to make soft pork. A poor practice to water the swine through the medium of thin swill. The farmer is his own boss. Who is to blame when things go wrong? Keep the hens busy scratching these cold days. It will put the lay- ing spirit in them. Skim miik will make pigs grow. Used with ground feed it is the ideal ration. Have it arranged so that the stock gets some chance for outdoor air and exercise, except on the stormy days. A half pound a day gain should be showed by the pigs. Are yours do- ing it? Disease flies before God's blessed sunshine. Give all of it you can to the live stock and poultry. Is the money which the farmer gets for the corn he sells to the dis- tillery tainted? At the time of weaning the colt use great care that the animal gets no set back. Home-cure- d and home-salte- d pork tastes good most any time in the year. The snow bank is a poor range for the poultry in winter and will not put any egs in the farmer's basket Keep only as many fowls as you have room for. Crowded poultry never do well. A bone cutter will help secure the winter eggs. Nethmg like green bone to make hens lay. i Look out for holes in the floor of the hog pen. Hogs will .gnaw and sometimes get holes big enough to get their leg into and break it If you economize in feed and check the growth of the young stock, yours has been a false economy which you will appreciate on market day. Use a bushel basket in carrying straw to the pig pen, then yon will not leave, an unsightly trail of straw from barn to pen. Whitewash the inside of the stable twice a year. It will make the place lighter and will sweeten up the atmos- phere amazingly. Wash .the udders of cows affected with cow pox with warm soapy water in which a few drops of carbolic, acid has been placed. The judicious feeder is the man who studies carefully his stock' and the respective results obtained by the rations fed. Make a study of those agricultural problems which you met with during the past season.. Winter is a profit- able season for the farmer if he uses his .time right. There are millions of acres of waste land throughout the country which might profitably be planted to fruit trees. Are you doing all you can with your land? Most dairy men think that prairie hay of a good quality is fully as valu- able, if not more so, as feed for dairy cows, as a good grade of timothy hay. In buying a buck lamb with view of raising for breeding purposes re member that close, thick-se- t wool is better than that which is thin and coarse. To eradicate worms in horses place a Inmp of rock salt where the horse may lick it at will. Oil of tarpeatlae. one-hal- f ounce, to be followed by the raw oil purge, will dislodge the para- sites. Filthy hogs come from filthy quar- ters made so by a careless farmer who does not realize that he is work- ing against his own interests by neg- lecting the hogs. The separator not only gets all the butter out of the milk (that is, it does if it is ran right), bat it saves hauling the milk to the creamery and back again. Manure plowed into the soil not only supplies plant food, but adds hu-mas-- to the. ground which lightens the soil and makes it more congenial en- vironment for the growing plants. V r. .. , . &t.-ij&M'4ttr?T.iff- wbTj 7ui:rf.-"siM'- r -- j an TB li If you cannot afford a manure spreader, why not join with three or four of your neighbors and buy one? The spreader will do the work for all of ybu and the cost to each one will be merely nominal. The late colt can be permitted tr suck its dam all winter without harm. Many well-meani- farmers injure their mares by trying to dry them ot when they are giving a full flow of milk. It is contrary to nature. The clipped horse should be al- ways carefully blanketed when -- left standing. There is no particular objection to depriving the horse- - of his natural coat if another is pro- vided for him. "No horse was ever born balky, but may be made so by the driver," Is what a horseman says who has made a business of dealing in vicious ani- mals and then by patient effort re- forming them. The horse that starts off with a jerk and breaks into a fast gait at once is not the safest .animal to drive. Better train to start with a walk. Many a serious accident is caused by the quick starting of a horse. Diarrhea in horses, brought On by overfeeding or exposure to inclement weather, is a common trouble and should -- be checked at once. Parched flour, rice meal gruel and boiled mil!- -, are all excellent correctives for this ailment. Have all the roosts in the poultry house as nearly on a level as pos- sible andxso prevent crowding of the fowls on the upper perches. Instinc- tively the hens will seek the highest perches and hence suffer from over- crowding where the perches are not all on the same level. The secret of success in dairying is to know what-- a cow ought to do, and then make her do it. is the way Hoard's Dairyman puts it And we might add that- - the cow that won't do it ought to make room for the cow that will. Time is wasted on trying to increase the yield of some cows. On orchard soils only moderately rich it is nece3sary to keep up the sup ply of fertility. What the crop of fruit takes off should go back each year ic the form either of barnyard manure or of chemical fertilizers, so that the roots of the trees need not seek in vaiif for the material out of which to' make new products. Never allow flax which is to be used for seed to become wet, for the damp- ness causes disease spores to germin- ate and the mold filaments grow into the seed coats, and seed treatment will fail to destroy this internal fungus. The young plants from such seeds must eventually sicken and die, and will introduce the disease into 'the soil wherever they fall. The best means for protecting the orchard trees from mice is to keep the orchard free from weeds, particularly at seeding time. A mowing machine will not do this. It takes,' cultivation and a hoe. If a space 2 or 3 feet about the tree is kept absolutely clean of weeds little if any damage will be done by mice. Remember this next season. Secretary Wilson speaks this word of caution to farmers on the subject of making denatured alcohol on the farm: "My advice to farmers is, first, to try and learn the technical pro- cesses of fermentation and distilla- tion, and then to proceed cautiously in regard to the waste materials which they may have available, namely, po- tatoes, refuse of the Indian corn can-ner- y, waste apples, waste melons. etc." Potatoes require an abundance of available plant food to make large yields. Sometimes thorough prepara- tion and tillage of the soil will render available all the crop can use. Usually however, the crop responds well to dressings of manure or fertilizer, and this is especially true in case only ordinary tillage is given. Therefore, unless the soil is known to be in fertile condition, it is good policy to provide liberally for the requirements of the crop. The potato usually brings a larger cash return per acre than most farm crops and therefore war- rants a relatively large expenditure for manure or fertilizers. Where there is danger of winter- killing, it will pay to cover the rasp- berry plants. This is best done by plowing a furrow on each side of the row, then begin at one end of the row and then bend the first hill from you over the second .hilT, the second hill over the top of the first one and pin down with a stick made of the old canes cut out. Continue this pro- cess to the end of the row. ' After the patch is pinned down, with a two-hors- e plow run three or more fur- rows on each side of the row, throw- ing the dirt toward the canes. If any bushes are left uncovered, com- plete the work with a shovel. During the winter give, the patch a good ap plication of barnyard manure. The canes should be uncovered early in April before the buds begin to grow. yet late enough so they win not be damaged by hard freezing. Here is a supposable case which ought to make the dairyman think: "If by weighing and testing the milk of 'each cow at regular intervals during the year a dairyman should discover that 12 cows of his herd produced only 133 pounds of butter-fa- t and returned only 77 cents profit per cow per year, Uke the lowest one-fourt- h of the 554 cows tested by this experiment sta- tion, how much would it add to his annual income if he were to replace them with 12 cows producing 301 pounds butter-fa- t and making a profit of S3L32 per cow per year, like the highest one-fourt- h of the same 554 cows? The 12 poor cows would return a profit of 12 times 77 cents, or 89.24. The 12 good cows would return a profit of 12 time; $31.32, or $375.84 for the year. The Difference in these two profits is $366.60. This change of cows would increase the dairyman's annual profits $366.60." tT? .

' ScVhav Bv a a ''t' Something New in Line of Amusement The invitations were ornamented with a flock of wild geese flying madly over the page and the words were: "Come to Beverly Farm on Tuesday at half after eight" Every one receiving this unique message was filled with curiosity as to what the proceedings would be. When all had arrived the hostess had a slip of paper for each one on which was written the first direction; of course ' each one was different One said: "Go look under the um- brella jar." There was a slip under it that said: "To walk through the hall into the music room and look at the pedals of the piano." To them was at- tached the message: "In the Indian basket at the top of the stairs you will find your reward." There was a souvenir or favor for each one. In fact, there were duplicates, and when a man and a woman found the same they were partners for supper. It may easily be seen how jolly this affair may be if the hostess uses plenty of ingenuity in the planning of the "chases." The guests entering into it wiU have loads of fun, as they encoun- ter each other following out the dif- ferent instructions. Plan for a Rainbow Tea. ' This was a common every-da- y church supper, glorified by the seven colors of the rainbow, and it certainly was a most attractive affair. An un usually large crowd came to this "Rainbow Tea." drawn by the alluring advertisements, for every one won- dered "what it was to be." There were seven tables, beginning with red, then orange, yeUow, Indigo, green, violet and blue. The waiters for each table were dressed according- ly, and there was an arrangement of draperies bringing In all the colors, transforming the room into a bower of beauty. One cannot realize how ef- fective the combination is nnUl tried. Below Is the menu for each table: RED TABLE. Ham. Tongue. Sausage. Dried Beef. Beets. Radishes. Cranberries. Cherries. Red Jellies. Bread and Butter. GREEN TABLE. Olives. Lettuce.. Salads. Green Apples. Mint Jelly. Stuffed Green Peppers. Water Cress. ORANGE TABLE. Orange Cake. Orange Salad. Sliced Oranges. Plain Oranges. Orange Sherbet. Orange Gelatine. Orange Favors on a Tree. Cheese. YELLOW TABLE. Bananas. Pears. Pineapple. Canned Peaches. Sponge Cake. Lady Fingers. VIOLET TABLE. Violet Ice. decorated with candied violets. Cakes, frosted with violet icing. Violet Opera Sticks. Violets for sale. Beverages for sale at all the tables. INDIGO AND BLUE TABLE. '" This table was decorated with blue can dles and a young woman handed out blue tickets which entitled the holder to a dish of ice cream or a slice of mince pie. both of which were served on blue plates. If a guest wished to take the entire course the charge was 50 cents. One ar- ticle could be purchased for 7 cents. MADAME MERRI. Mandarin Styles. The fad for mandarin styles is seen on gowns, coats, capes and matinees. The mandarin shoulder Is popular. An extremely pretty negligee on this order is of softest pale pink silk. the low neck outlined by motifs of embroidery worked in pink silk, with an inch square of Valenciennes lace set into each medallion, the flowing sleeves finished to match. A distinguishing feature of a longer wrapper was the way the InterUning was held in place; instead of the usual quUting, feather stitching in white silk was used in one-Inc- h lengths, and scattered over a gown of finest pink albatross, suggested a shower of pearls. Finishing Tablecloths. The French hem is the most at- tractive way to finish tablecloths and napkins. It is made by turning an ordinary hem that is. turn once and over again. Now turn It back'upoa itself so that the right side of the hem will lie upon the right side of the material and top sew the edge. I mmvtmmmmtmmt Baaaaaaai I i aaatai aaamiiatfMaaiaaiiii i i aiTii J c Hair Is Now Dressed in Many New Ways The hair is now being dressed with less width from side to side and more height in the center, a bint particu- larly valuable to the moon-face- d girl, who ought not to increase the width of her face by puffing her hair out unduly above her ears. Fascinatingly pretty as the curl is. it is by no means surprising that it should maintain its supremacy, though it need not be the sole motif of a chevelure design. Puffs and the plait are mingled in elegant confusion, and the wave that is required is the heavy Marcel ondule. Girls of about 16 who have not yet reached the age of putting their hair up are wearing it parted and caught together in festoons or curtains upon the brow, to use an ex- pression in connection with this form of dressing. In some cases the hair is plaited at the back aad looped in the nape of the neck beneath a huge ribbon ' bow. black for the blonde girl, and cholo-lat- e for the nut-brow- n maid. Other- wise the front hair is drawn to the back beneath the restraining influ- ence of a comb and the tresses are al- lowed to flow carelessly over the shoulders. Individual fancy is able to run riot this winter over any number of pos- sible decorations for the hair. There are beautiful combs being sold at all prices, from those of dark or blonde tortoiseshell powdered, latticed and festooned with diamonds to the Span- ish ones that are so fashionable damascened in gold upon Toledo steel. At night wreaths of skeleton leaves in gold, silver or steel make a very pretty decoration, and the large single gold or silver rose with foliage to match is justifiably patronized on ac- count of its beauty and its becoming attributes to women of all ages. The softly waving plume of cut os- trich and marabout is as popular as ever for evening wear, and just lately there has arisen a tendency for wear- ing long brush or comet aigrettes pointing downwards from behind the ear to the crown of the shoulder, in- stead of upwards, as the former manner was. vjb Raspberry and old rose shades are apparently evening favorites. Striped materials are being more ex- tensively worn this season. Stocks of chiffon, laid in loose folds, to be worn with lace applique blouses', are extremely smart. Dark, rich green is a favorite color this season, and it is always band-som- e. Bridge whist sets bound in morocco make very attractive Christmas gifts. Automobile coats in unplucked sealskin are among the latest beauti- ful things for the fair motorist A four-in-han- d shield for linen col- lars comes in colored silk, bordered with white silk and trimmed with French knots. A woman just back from London says, that bats were never more top-heav- y and never more expensive thaa jast now. From Paris are gray linen collars for half-mourni- wear. They are hand-embroider- in French knots and other effects in black. A handsome evening scarf is of handsome inch-wid- e stripes of gold tissue and pale satin. Spreading Collars. It seems almost necessary to wear some kind of a fancy pin to keep the coUar from spreading, and to hold in place whatever bow or tie Is worn. At present there is a great fad for wearing either a bird or quaint Egyp- tian pin for this purpose. Another favorite pin for the purpose is the enameled or jeweled dragon fly for holding the sides of the collar to- gether over a rabat or tab which has no bow. - af 4 J ?Af EPKMAMS ON WOMEN. Peter the Great cobs ed baked goose, staffed with apples, and con- sidered it a fine dish. Setting up rival claims for fame and poyalar favor generally ends in in- spiring criticism and disgust The woman who chuaas the creditor her husband's success has probably coatribated very little toward it. The woman who betray? the an-gai-sh of her soal to the world forfeits .her claim to the sympathy of her sin- cere friends WISE WORDS FROM RUSKIN. All healthy and helpful literature sets simple bars between right and wrong. - In resolving to do oar work well is the only soaad foundation of any re- ligion whatsoever.

"CAP," THE BUSINESS DOG.

Takes Money ami Buys His MasterHis Paper Every Morning.

"Cap' is a wise dog. He buys thopaper every morning, and carries ithome to his master to read. Unfor-tunately "Cap" cannot read himself.

He beganto put on lordly airs and to order Jessie about Jessie opened her blueeyes at first in astonishment; shenever thought about the trousers, butthough she was only girl, she hadplenty of spirit, and would not be im-

"What will you give me?" askedJessie.

'Til say 'thank you,' and let youwatch me sail my new boat," he an-

"No horse was ever born balky, butmay be made so by the driver," Iswhat a horseman says who has madea business of dealing in vicious ani-mals and then by patient effort re-forming them.

Have all the roosts in the poultryhouse as nearly on a level as pos-

The secret of success in dairying isto know what-- a cow ought to do, andthen make her do it. is the wayHoard's Dairyman puts it And wemight add that- - the cow that won't doit ought to make room for the cowthat will. Time is wasted on trying toincrease the yield of some cows.

On orchard soils only moderatelyrich it is nece3sary to keep up the supply of fertility. What the crop of fruittakes off should go back each yearic the form either of barnyard manureor of chemical fertilizers, so that theroots of the trees need not seek invaiif for the material out of which to'make new products.

Never allow flax which is to be usedfor seed to become wet, for the damp-ness causes disease spores to germin-ate and the mold filaments grow intothe seed coats, and seed treatmentwill fail to destroy this internalfungus. The young plants from suchseeds must eventually sicken and die,and will introduce the disease into 'thesoil wherever they fall.

The best means for protecting theorchard trees from mice is to keep theorchard free from weeds, particularlyat seeding time. A mowing machinewill not do this. It takes,' cultivationand a hoe. If a space 2 or 3 feetabout the tree is kept absolutely cleanof weeds little if any damage will bedone by mice. Remember this nextseason.

Secretary Wilson speaks this wordof caution to farmers on the subjectof making denatured alcohol on thefarm: "My advice to farmers is, first,to try and learn the technical pro-cesses of fermentation and distilla-tion, and then to proceed cautiouslyin regard to the waste materials whichthey may have available, namely, po-

tatoes, refuse of the Indian corn can-ner- y,

waste apples, waste melons.etc."

Potatoes require an abundance ofavailable plant food to make largeyields. Sometimes thorough prepara-tion and tillage of the soil will renderavailable all the crop can use. Usuallyhowever, the crop responds well todressings of manure or fertilizer, andthis is especially true in case onlyordinary tillage is given. Therefore,unless the soil is known to be infertile condition, it is good policy toprovide liberally for the requirementsof the crop. The potato usually bringsa larger cash return per acre thanmost farm crops and therefore war-rants a relatively large expenditurefor manure or fertilizers.

Where there is danger of winter-killing, it will pay to cover the rasp-berry plants. This is best done byplowing a furrow on each side of therow, then begin at one end of therow and then bend the first hill fromyou over the second .hilT, the secondhill over the top of the first one andpin down with a stick made of theold canes cut out. Continue this pro-cess to the end of the row. ' Afterthe patch is pinned down, with a two-hors- e

plow run three or more fur-rows on each side of the row, throw-ing the dirt toward the canes. Ifany bushes are left uncovered, com-plete the work with a shovel. Duringthe winter give, the patch a good application of barnyard manure. Thecanes should be uncovered early inApril before the buds begin to grow.yet late enough so they win not bedamaged by hard freezing.

Here is a supposable case whichought to make the dairyman think: "Ifby weighing and testing the milk of'each cow at regular intervals duringthe year a dairyman should discoverthat 12 cows of his herd produced only133 pounds of butter-fa- t and returnedonly 77 cents profit per cow per year,Uke the lowest one-fourt-h of the 554cows tested by this experiment sta-tion, how much would it add to hisannual income if he were to replacethem with 12 cows producing 301pounds butter-fa- t and making a profitof S3L32 per cow per year, like thehighest one-fourt- h of the same 554cows? The 12 poor cows would returna profit of 12 times 77 cents, or 89.24.The 12 good cows would return aprofit of 12 time; $31.32, or $375.84 forthe year. The Difference in these twoprofits is $366.60. This change of cowswould increase the dairyman's annualprofits $366.60."

''t'Something New in

Line of AmusementThe invitations were ornamented

with a flock of wild geese flying madlyover the page and the words were:"Come to Beverly Farm on Tuesday athalf after eight"

Every one receiving this uniquemessage was filled with curiosity as towhat the proceedings would be. Whenall had arrived the hostess had a slipof paper for each one on which waswritten the first direction; of course'each one was different

One said: "Go look under the um-brella jar." There was a slip underit that said: "To walk through the hallinto the music room and look at thepedals of the piano." To them was at-

tached the message: "In the Indianbasket at the top of the stairs you willfind your reward." There was asouvenir or favor for each one. Infact, there were duplicates, and whena man and a woman found the samethey were partners for supper. It mayeasily be seen how jolly this affairmay be if the hostess uses plenty ofingenuity in the planning of the"chases." The guests entering into itwiU have loads of fun, as they encoun-ter each other following out the dif-

ferent instructions.

Plan for a Rainbow Tea. '

This was a common every-da- y

church supper, glorified by the sevencolors of the rainbow, and it certainlywas a most attractive affair. An unusually large crowd came to this"Rainbow Tea." drawn by the alluringadvertisements, for every one won-

dered "what it was to be."There were seven tables, beginning

with red, then orange, yeUow, Indigo,green, violet and blue. The waitersfor each table were dressed according-ly, and there was an arrangement ofdraperies bringing In all the colors,transforming the room into a bower ofbeauty. One cannot realize how ef-

fective the combination is nnUl tried.Below Is the menu for each table:

One ar-ticle could be purchased for 7 cents.

Mandarin Styles.The fad for mandarin styles is seen

on gowns, coats, capes and matinees.The mandarin shoulder Is popular.

An extremely pretty negligee onthis order is of softest pale pink silk.the low neck outlined by motifs ofembroidery worked in pink silk, withan inch square of Valenciennes laceset into each medallion, the flowingsleeves finished to match.

A distinguishing feature of a longerwrapper was the way the InterUningwas held in place; instead of the usualquUting, feather stitching in whitesilk was used in one-Inc- h lengths, andscattered over a gown of finest pinkalbatross, suggested a shower ofpearls.

tractive way to finish tablecloths andnapkins.

It is made by turning an ordinaryhem that is. turn once and overagain. Now turn It back'upoa itselfso that the right side of the hem willlie upon the right side of the materialand top sew the edge. I

Hair Is Now Dressedin Many New Ways

The hair is now being dressed withless width from side to side and moreheight in the center, a bint particu-larly valuable to the moon-face- d girl,who ought not to increase the widthof her face by puffing her hair outunduly above her ears.

Fascinatingly pretty as the curl is.it is by no means surprising that itshould maintain its supremacy, thoughit need not be the sole motif of achevelure design. Puffs and the plaitare mingled in elegant confusion, andthe wave that is required is the heavyMarcel ondule.

Girls of about 16 who have not yetreached the age of putting their hairup are wearing it parted and caughttogether in festoons or curtains uponthe brow, to use an ex-pression in connection with this formof dressing.

In some cases the hair is plaited atthe back aad looped in the nape of theneck beneath a huge ribbon ' bow.black for the blonde girl, and cholo-lat- e

for the nut-brow- n maid. Other-wise the front hair is drawn to theback beneath the restraining influ-ence of a comb and the tresses are al-lowed to flow carelessly over theshoulders.

Individual fancy is able to run riotthis winter over any number of pos-sible decorations for the hair. Thereare beautiful combs being sold at allprices, from those of dark or blondetortoiseshell powdered, latticed andfestooned with diamonds to the Span-ish ones that are so fashionabledamascened in gold upon Toledo steel.

At night wreaths of skeleton leavesin gold, silver or steel make a verypretty decoration, and the large singlegold or silver rose with foliage tomatch is justifiably patronized on ac-count of its beauty and its becomingattributes to women of all ages.

The softly waving plume of cut os-trich and marabout is as popular asever for evening wear, and just latelythere has arisen a tendency for wear-ing long brush or comet aigrettespointing downwards from behind theear to the crown of the shoulder, in-

stead of upwards, as the formermanner was.

vjbRaspberry and old rose shades are

apparently evening favorites.Striped materials are being more ex-

tensively worn this season.Stocks of chiffon, laid in loose folds,

to be worn with lace applique blouses',are extremely smart.

Dark, rich green is a favorite colorthis season, and it is always band-som- e.

Bridge whist sets bound in moroccomake very attractive Christmas gifts.

Automobile coats in unpluckedsealskin are among the latest beauti-ful things for the fair motorist

From Paris are gray linen collarsfor half-mourni- wear. They arehand-embroider- in French knotsand other effects in black.

A handsome evening scarf is ofhandsome inch-wid- e stripes of goldtissue and pale satin.

Spreading Collars.It seems almost necessary to wear

some kind of a fancy pin to keep thecoUar from spreading, and to hold inplace whatever bow or tie Is worn.

At present there is a great fad forwearing either a bird or quaint Egyp-tian pin for this purpose.

Another favorite pin for the purposeis the enameled or jeweled dragon flyfor holding the sides of the collar to-

gether over a rabat or tab which hasno bow.
