It is no less carefully thought out. The
idea is to have 1t identified in color with
the bodice, or bodice trimming rather

round the waist by white guipure with
deep points running upward, which lace
answers for the belt. This bodice has

Choosing Poultry and Game.

Young poultry may be distinguished

feel of the flesh and by the fiexbility OF
the breast bone. The feet and bill of
young goose are yellow; they turn red
as the bird grows old. If fresh. the feet
are supple. IL stale, they are dry and
stiff. Young ducks feel tender under
the wings; the web of the foot is trans

wild ducks reddish ones. In pheasants
and quail yellow legs and dark bill are
signs of young bird. Pigeons should
be fresh, fat and tender. and the feet

Fortunately. however. for the st ock-
