The Star and the Miliner. /.
tClara Bellies Letter. ]


A millinery secret has been divulged
to me, and-well, I am a woman and
can't keep it. Besides, I have duty
as a journalist, even though an anna
teur, to write all I know. I was in a
leading bonnet productory, and man
WAS in conversation with the bosses.
He was in the show business. I couldn't
help seeing that by the plush of his
coat-collar, the reckless plaid of his
crayat and the jaunty tip OF his hat
AThe madam" he said, naming a
well-known actress, thinks you are
mistaken as to which of the hats she
saw here will prove most popular, and
last during the whole season but she's
willing to take your Judgment and pay
the $500. The understanding is, and
we don't want any mistake made, that
you are going to put this article on
the market labeled with her name."
THAT is all clear" said the milliner
well do the same with her that we
did last year with Mrs., and can
assure you that she'll get the worth of
her money! e
So this was the agent of dramatic
star, closing bargain for the adver.
tising of his employer through the
naming of popular hat.

form any amount Of hard labor. While
horses need good, wholesome food, il
should not be all the fat-producine
kinds. The matter of feeding horses
by the majority of horse-owners never
receives the attention it should. The
supply Of food and the different kinds
should be varied as often as the amount
and kinds of work are changed.
The round stake in Hereford steer
is of more value than in shorthorn, for
the reason that the tenderest steak is
on the inside of the leg, and the Here
ford steer as much better filed on the
inside of the thighs than the shOrthorn.
The best restaurants in Chicago now
have on their bill of fare, Round, ten

side of the thigh, and is called by some
'.silver steak" The Herefords have q
faculty of laying their fat between the
lean, or in other words "marbing" their
meat, that makes it very juicy, tender
and palatable. Journal.
A WRITER in the London Garden
says he has discovered that grapevines
