If you are extremely clever you will
buy two cheap feathers and fasten them
together so as TO make one long sweep

your ear in good century-ago fashion, or
you can stand it at one side of your
head.
Ostrich feathers will be used in all
colors although the preference is for
black and white. The pale shades such
as lilac, gray green, pink, gas light blue

They say that it Is not difficult to dye
feathers and that the old light plumes,
feathers, tips, aigrettes and other bird
decorations can be dipped in dye and
made a beautiful dark green, dark
brown, steel or black as fancy may
dictate. The secret of dyeing, however,
is such a complex one that many fail
to learn it. The dye pot should be filled
to the brim with the dye stuff. Then
the feathers can be plunged in one after
another II Is ruinous to add water to
the dye after the goods are in the dye
pot. This is what gives the streaks so
often seen, in home dyed goods.

For econony's sake it might be said

smaller fly with a paler body and more
pointed body and more conical shape. It
has large pale patches on its abdomen.
These patches are translucent, and when
you look at the fly on a window pane

Most people think that this fly is the
young of the common house fly because
it is much smaller. But that is wrong
Flies do not grow after they have their
wings If one house fly is a little larger
than his fellows occasionally, he happens
simply to be giant.
A small fly is more annoying than a big

more evasive.

he quit and went to writing books But
he wasn't much of O pilot, anyhow His
mind didn't run that way, and when he
was at the wheel he was always running
over something and getting the boat into
trouble.
HE would just as like as not go sound
asleep On watch, and run the boat into the
bank head on, If you didn't keep a watch
on him, and If there was a snag to be
found he would go miles out of his way
just to get a whack at ii, and he was
never so happy unless he was bouncing
something. Why, you would thsnk he was
getting the biggest kind Of wages from The
government to just clear the river of
snags, If you'd see how he hustled them
out of the way. But that wasn't the worst
Of It, for sometimes he would lose his
bearings and get lost IN side streams, and
Il would cost the captain half he would
make on the trip to get back to the Mis-
sissippi.

rhinestone button high in the front.

button over you left eye and the hat

scheme is TO enjoy a months vacation in

for a month of fun is not much. and these
girls feel that they get their fun $40

In starting out they determined upon the
unique scheme of trying to live as though
they were at home. Three small tents
were purchased-one for each person-and
in one tent there was a table spread which
could do as dining table when the wealth
