some OF the newest CrepOn costumes
have the smartest little capes Imaginable,
and these capes possess the added charm
of being also worn with other gowns.
They are quite short and very full, trim
med with double ruohe of soft silk or
chiffon. Sometimes they have an addi-
tional trimming Of jet; fat ornaments
laid on, but generally they are finished
with the ruche. There is also a ruche
about the neck and bow and long end of
black ribbon at the throat. The lining
Is OF thin silk, so that the capes are mora
for effect than warmth
1t seems to be a matter of indifference
as to whether the crepon used matched
the rest of the costume, although the
smartest are all alike. The large silky
looking weave is the most used These
capes must fit well over the shoulder and
around the throat, and must be short
enough to show the waist line as other
wise they are exceedingly unbecoming.

AFTER DINNER TALK.

The parasols for use i'm the near futurs
are, indeed, things Of beauty. The plain
but admirable articles, so sensibly patron
lied during recent years on all but BAR
ticularly drcssy occasions, are not likely to
prove rivals to the charming new canopies
which are exceedingly ornate. Lace,
chiffon, accordeon-plaited silk muslin
and nets of various tints and patterns ara
used in their manufacture. A shower of
rain would prove ruinous to any of these
pretty "trifles light as air, -" but, sunshine
guaranteed, they are very facinating.
The roseatc tones Of certain STYLES would
prove most becoming TO a delicate com
plexion which reflects its tints. Many OF
the white and soft gray parasols are pink
tinted. One Of gray chiffon was lined
with rose-coored transparent silk, and out
side was fastened spray of hedge roses.
1t Is not very expensive parasol, but ono
would certainly have to "dress up to it"
and keep it for its proper place in tho
world.

You don't remember the old re ping
machines we used TO have where one
man had TO sit straddle of a long pole
with rake and every time enough grain
was cut to make n sheaf he would rake
1t off. Well that was the hardest work
ever man done. After you rode that pole
day or two you would not need to 90 to
gymnasium to have your muscles ex-
ercised and brought into play. John
Sieberling had to ride the pole one season.
One day after hard days work he said
to his father "Father, we will have to
have something different TO that next
year" That night John laid down on
the floor and figured out q reaper that
would not only cut the wheat but drop
made from his plan worked almost as
well as the ones made today. Riding
