inIiy "gente.l," according to the
phraseology OF thoss days, and spen..
GERS and pelisses were worn out OF
doors, and cream color (then called
"lsLbelle"), primrose. and royal blue
were the coIors OF the year. Rainbow
tints are in fashion now, but We have
not as yet patron,zcd rainbow rose, n
novelty then brought from Paris;
every leaf represented the brilliant
colors Of the rainbow. Spiral flowers,
standing erect, as they are at present
worn, were employed with broad rib
bons. Two large flowers on separate
stalks were introduced on the summit
of the hats. Ranunculus and iris were
the favorite flowers, and sprigs of hlao.
White gowns were embroidered with
bluebells and other natural-colored
blooms. Caters made of grey cloth
with mother -of-pearl buttons accom-
panied half boots of light grey kid.
White parasols had painted floral
borders, and q nosegay was carried IN
the hand by everybody; not a large
one, but Just handful OF roses, vio-

straw IN many curious fashions, but
we have not yet come to straw feathers,
although they were the mode at the

The hair at this period was dressed
in curls on either side Of the face, and
from 1919, when the waist started i'm
mediately below the bust, the bonnets
increased in size, and the skirts also,

Of q coiffure q la cerise intermixed

far back. 1t was difficult then, as it is
difficult now, to bring to the minds

see them, but the accounts given then
of the black velvet hats, with upstand-

The cap, still called q cornette, was
made of Mechlin lace, trimmed with
roses, and the ornaments were corne-

on the arm. These were in the very
height Of fashion and showed superb
borders Of variegated colors.

HOOrS AND BALL.
A VERY PRETTY GAME FOR LITTLE CHIL
DEEN TO PLAY.

There is a very pretty little game, IL
which, both hoops and balls are used.
but the balls are not thrown to be
caught aud the hoops are not rolled.
You get six wooden hoops, all OF
lif.renJ sizes, such as will measure
from twelve to thirty inches across.
Fasten on each q little screw hook to
hang it upby.
Next prepare place to suspend the
hoops. That may be stout wire fixed
across the playroom about seven feet
from tie floor, or you can put your
wire across the attic between rafters,
At the same height, or you can put the
wire in the barn. If You wish to play
outdoors have the wire stretched be-
tween two trees.
Now, Just where the hook y, fasten
to each hoop a cord reaching to the
center of the hoop with hell attached
70 the end.

FLOWERS AND INSECTS.
WHY GARDENERS EXCLUDE BEES FROM
EuEIR GREENHOUSES.

Perfume serves TO attract insects,
Artificial flowers were at'ac he'd TO
hraLches of trees by Nsgeli; some of
these were scented with essential oils;
insects were attracted to these in an
unmistakable manner. while others,
which he left uncented were almost
neglected, says an interesting writer in
Chambers Journal. The perfume ap-
pears in general to proceed from the
honey, which constitut,s the chief
attraction inducing insects to frequent
flowers. In the anemone, poppy and
st. Johns wort we have examples of
honeyless flowers which are, however,
sought by insects which feed upon
their pollen. of which they produce an
excess. The more attractions a flower
presents the better will be Its chance
of Decentralization. and the greater
the likelihood of its offspring surviving
and spreading. Inconspicuous flowers.
on the other hand, are in danger of
being overlooked by insects. Accord
ingly, most small, obscurely-colored
flowers are either self-fertilized or are
adapted to have their pollen trans
ported by the wind. Wild-fertilized
flowers such as the rye grass, nettle
and ash, have small flowers without
conspicuous coloring, honey or scent.
When We look at the flower as mere
" phase in the development of the
fruit, and when we consider that its
end is served as soon as cross-fertiliza.
ton has been accomplished, tho short
duration of the blossom becomes in
tefligible. Once the stigma has been
pollenated, a flower seldom lasts anv
time. Gardeners are well aware of this;
and take precautions to exclude bees
from their greenhouses; otherwise, thew
would find it impossible to keep their
flowers in good condition for anv
length OF time. On the other hand. 4

The best roads In the world are

are far superior to those in England
or In Germany. Tourists from every
country pronounce them unrivalled.
This splendid road system is directly
in the hands OF the government, with
a government inspector for each
county, who examines the roads and
gives certificate for the excellency
of the work done before the road
contractors are paid by the govern
ment. And this government in
spection OF the roads takes place
every three mOnt.s, and the con-
tractors are thus always made to at
