piece of old silk. The yelling is care
fully stretched around this roller and
pinned to it, so as to secure the orig
iual width on each SIDE. After being
left to dry for n couple of days the
veil will be quite fresh.
The adjustment of the veil is very
important. Wells are no longer tie d
closely across the face, but are left
loose and flowing. Only the upper
part of the veil is fastened, the rest
being allowed to go as it pleases. The
veil is worn well below the chin, ana
no toilet is considered complete with
out it. The double fold veil is not
much worn except by women with thin
throats.
The first thing to do in putting on
a veil is to find the center of one of
the long sides, and tie a tight knot
there, gathering up the veil for this
purpose. This will give the fullness
across the face. This knotted portion
should be placed in the center of the
brim, and an inch back of the front,
and the ends gathered up and pinned
at the back.
In selecting a veil it is well to see it
on some one else, for its effect can be
better seen than when woman looks
through the veil at herself in the mir
ror. Dotted wells are most beco ming,
although those with dots near together
are bad for the eyes.
There are many varieties in the new
wells, but combinations of black aud
white are the most fashionable. All
the large hats have long wells, gath
cred under the chin and around the
crown in front, but the veil no longer
covers the back, owing to the flowers
worn on the hats, but terminates Just
behind the ears. With toques very
small veil is worn, only sufficient to
cover the face and to be lightly caught
on either side above the ears, but well
to the back. In no case must the veil
so over the front trimmings, but start
from just beneath the toque and leave
all the hat free. -New York CONNER

FISH NET CURTAINS.

Next to curtains of real lace nothing
makes prettier and richer looking cur
rains for little drawing rooms than
those OF fish net edged with Renais-
Gance lace. The net, as you know,
looks like heavy Brussels net. The
lace border is n heavy lace composed
of lace braids and rings covered with
heavy linen thread. The rings are in
troduced into the pattern of the lace,
which Is connected with lace stitches.
The fish net comes in number of
qualities, both fine and coarse, and
the Renaissance laces are to be bought
in narrow edges at thirty.five cents a
yard, as well as in the wide insertions
and In edges at least u quarter of n
yard wide. The curtains NAV, there
fore, be very reasonable in price or as
expensive as one chooses. A pretty
pair OF the curtains with narrow lace
edges costs from Sl2 to SIS. Some of
chose having n wide lace of elaborate
pattern cost 500. Often the same net
of good quality has vines of lace and
bowers appliqued on the lace. Lace
bralds are used for the design. These
curtains are known as the Marie An
tolnette. Renaissance lace is also much
used for bureau covers, buffet covers.
scarfs and dolleys used on mahogany
dining tables aud for mats under

Regularity in feeding brings uni
formity in results. To get tho best
results, best methods must be adopted.
Fine, strong, hearty chickens are not
the result Of cArelessness or slipsho
methods. The greatest success is
made by those who make n study OF
one breed.
Eternal vigilance will be the price
of young chicks as soon rs the hot
weather sets in. Cleanliness must
then be observed or vermin will
swarm aud "take or the chirpols by
the score.
Feed chicks frequently, but only
what they Will partake of with keen
relish. Never surfet them unless at
the last feed in the evening, when
they may be allowed to have about all
they want.
Success III raising chicks means sim
ply to furnish them proper foods to
keep them growing. Neglect tells very
quickly on the young chick, and such
checks to their growth are exceed ingly
hard to overcome.
If you are not as successful as your
neighbor, do not say he has better
"luck," but go and investigate the
reason. You will find "better meth
DDS more proper reason for your
neighbours success.
Don't wait for the sun to shine in
your face, before getting up to feed the
chicks. Feed early, as soon rs SUI

save some chicks from being trampled

notion of different rays of the solar

under ordinary white glass to serve as

order-red, green, white, blue, the
difference being very marked in the
case of the red. The action of red
light was also pronounced as aGfe sting
