How to Make Bromide Enlargements.
Animals That Cycle A Mon
ument TO Key.

ENGAGEMENTS may he made either by
day or o, artificial light, but daylight
enlarging is the simpler and less expen-
sive. To make engagements by daylight
one must have suitable room, one
which can be darkened completely
with the exception of small opening
the size of the negative from which the
enlargement is to be made. A room Oh
the second or third floor and one with
north light is TO be preferred. If an
unobstructed view of the sky cannot be
obtained, reflector must be placed
outside Of the window to throw the
light against the negative and To- dis
tribute it evenly. In fact, it is better to
use the reflector in either case The re-
flector should be about pa inches square,
and may be Of white cardboard or a
piece of board covered with white pa
per. Fasten it to the outside of the win
dow sill at an angle of about 40 degrees.
Cover the window with black needle
paper or any other Opaque material, cut
ting out an opening just the size Of the
ground glass of the camera. Take the
ground glass from the frame and fasten
in its place the negative from which
the enlargement is to be made. 1t
should be put so that the glass side of
the negative is toward the window, and
if it is reversed the image thrown on
the screen will be right side up and
much easier TO focus. Set the camera
ON table drawn close to the window
and of such height that the ground
glass of the camera will exactly fit the
opening left III the window covering.
The camera will thus be placed with
the back close against the window and
the lens pointing out into the room. -

Queen MIXED a Cow.

The queen of the Belgians and the
princess during one summer resided at
Spa and daily took long drives in a
pony cart.
One of their adventures took place at
farmhouse where they called to buy
glass of milk.
Nobody but an old, paralyzed woman
was in the house, and she replied that
no milk was left in the jugs and that
she was unable to go to milk cow.
Never mind, said the queen. IF you
will allow me, / will go to the pasture.
Just tell me where the jugs are" but,
my dear lady, you are from the town,
and you will never be able to milk q
cow!" objected the old woman. She
was, however, mistaken, for little
later her majesty returned with half
filled jug. Meantime the princess had
laid on the table three bowls, loaf and
the needful knives and plates The old
farmer $ wife was served by the princess,
who, it appears, greatly enjoyed the
adventure.

Colored cords under thin materials of

A costume of dark blue velvet is one
of the coolest looking dresses magma
BILE.
A dress of very sheer material is
trimmed with narrow satin ribbon put
on in groups.
The newest sleeves are close fitting.
Those made of thin materials are pulled
or tucked and have frills OF lace falling
over the hands.
Among the favorites for summer wear
are tailor made white pique skirts.
They are usually worn with white per-
Gale or lawn shirt waists.
Black and white lace is popular
combination A very successful style is
black lace yoke band with the yoke
itself and collar of white lace.
The military idea is growing rapidly.
There are chevrons, stripes, frogs, belts,
epaulets and jewelry Of all sorts and
descriptions with military suggestions.
Lace seems to be che best liked of all
trimming materials. Large quantities
of it are used, especially on the waist,
while only small part is employed on
the skirt.
The number of different flowers worn
on one hat is startling. For example, a
hat i'll sailor shape had roses, violets,
forgetmenots and lilies of the valley as
a trimming.
A dress Of white and pink organdie
has the skirt entirely covered with mar
row ruffes, edged with lace. The waist
is made baby fashion and the guimpe
