FALcoh,ne IN VERMONT.
Fine ESTATES .a abs Green Mountain
stocked for the Falcon season.

Fine E=..se= 3. abs G=ecE Mountains
stocked for the Falcon season.
Vermont Is being turned into state
of sports. Its hills are playground 3or
wealthy people who own farms" up in
the Green mountains and come here to
enjoy them.
The latest fad is that of hunting with
falcons. Vermont had the first tobog-
gan slide in the east. Then 1t had ice
yachting, then came its golfing and ice
tennis: and now II is in the throes of
folconry. The great estates of the
Webb and Sloane families are being
stocked with game and the farmers
have turned '.falconers" to supply the
demand for birds.
The American falcon as here seen is
the sparrow hawk, with sunken eyes,
arched brows, sharp beak and little top
knot. II is formidable-looking ami
NAL and its claws are sharp and fero-
cious.
The falcon hunts have been mostly
after low game. The little wild birds
that fly the woods these days are best
adapted for the falconing in its amateur
state. The heavier wild fowl that fly
aigher are too fierce for the little Amer
ican falcon.
This is pen picture of falcon hunt
as is took place the other day upon the
.state of Braintrce: There were six
/ ladies in the party and eight gentle
men, each of the latter carrying the
falcon on their wrists. The ladies' rode
in front. each poising hooded falcon
upon her glove or resting against her
shoulder. One beautiful girl with os-
prey feathers floating down her back
carried her falcon upon her three-cor-
nered hat, where il furnished a trim
ming for the strange headgear. She
wore a Marie Antoinette gcwn with a
floating fichu of lace. Her horse was 4
iight-footed Kentucky gray, and made
no noise rs il penetrated the woods.
The Others came as silently after.
Suddenly there was n pause. The
bugler blew blast, and from the trees
and brush there came n sw-w-ish, as
socks Of birds rose from their cover in
fright. Instantly the falcons were un-
hooded and let loose Out they few
and down and around, soaring over the
heads OF their prey until the fright
ened birds fairly few within grasp of
their 'nlons. One fierce little under
sized falcon seized two birds in one
deadly clutch and came flying back with
them to the falconcr before the others
had captured prize apiece. At call
all the birds returned. and then came
the dividing up of the trophies and the
feeding and rehcoding of the falcons.
The nerviest of the hunters insisted
that the head of the prey be cut off for
the falcon to enjoy us its best reward.
This was the why the beautiful young
lady who rode first diverted herself
after capturing bird.
Several professional falconers IRE to
be imported from England They viii
bring with them family OF English
falcons, and the sport. instead of dying
out, as new sports do, will receive i'm
petus from the coming visit of the
duchess of Manchester, Who has. the
reputation of being the finest falconer
in England. Commercial

GRAPES AND CREPoN.
Methods of Weaving to Secure the
Surface Effect.

Methods of Weaving to Secure the
Surface Eject.
The fabric most generally known a.
Grape is mourning Grape, but properly
the name belongs to any fabric of silk.
cotton or wool that has wrinkled sur.
face. Crcpon is the French name for
piled to any weave with an uneven
face which gives a Grape effect, whether
woven like Grape or in plain plaits
thrown mp by dropping certain wet
threads at definite intervals and tight.
ening them by twisting.
The wrinkle of Grape is produced by
making the weft, and sometimes the
warp also. of twisted threads, every
alternate group of threads being
twisted in the reverse direction. The
threads so arranged are loose-that is,
with space between them-and when
the fabric is completed they untwist,
cuch in its own direction, which gives :,
surface Of uniform irregularity. Twist
ing warp and weft makes the most per-
feet Grape. If the weft only be twisted
and the warp straight, the weft threads
viii push up anu uoWN tHt warp, ulah-
ing u less durable fabric. When the
twist is in the weft only there is elias.
ticity across the goods. and when
twisted both ways it is elastic both
ways.
The result of this weaving is surface
of broken lights and shadows, surface
that reflects less light than If smooth
and absorbs much. Such surface per.
mits color to be seen to advantage, and
grapes are especially beautiful in rich
colors suited to them, as vivid red.
Oriental grapes, the most beautiful
in the world, are of silk. or OF mike,
silk aIsl cotton. When of part cottor
they are cheaper, but there is no vulgar
attempt to conceal the cotton; it is kept
frankly on the surface and its owr
good qualities are made to appear. Cot
ton has less power of reflection thar
silk and. therefore. lends itself to in
crease the absorption Of light, which
is an object in Grape weave. Also, the
crimpled surface enhances the beaut,
of cotton thread.
What is known as mourning Grape i.
not Grape weave. Its wrinkled surface
is made by stiffeneing gauze and press
| ing il on n matrix.--Chicago News.
