There is always good demand for
young chickens as broilers i'll summer
The men who make business of grow
ing chickens for this purpose make large
profits in this way, selling chickens that
have net half made their full growth
for more than the same chicks would sell
for when grown to full size in the fall.
WHY do not farmers generally supply this
demand to the extent, at least, of killing

Woman's Laugn.

A feminine laugh has to be decorative,
and so it should be the laugh of gayety
rather than of humor. There can hardly
be a question as to the sweetest laugh to
be heard among nations of women-it is
surely the Frenchwoman's. She has the
softest MARBLE of all. If doves were not
so serious, they might remind us of Pari-
sian women laughing together. The italian
laugh is happy enough, but it is not quite
so independent of the subject of laughter.
1t has a jollity all it's own 1t is some
what uncivilized, but needs no civilizing.
But its principal characteristic is the con-
tralto tone proper to the woman who is to
the last somewhat of a peasant. The
laughter of English women is too various
for any brief description, for English wo-
men laugh not according to their race,
but according to their caste, as caste has
lately been revised and redistributed. 1t
may be said that in caste also the treble
note, the ready, the immediate, fits up to
it's own place-the top-and is audible
there, for all its slender quality.-Alice
Meyneli in Golfers Weekly.

Match is made of leaves. There isn't a
nail in the whole structure, the poles
being tied together with bamboo withes.
There is no 1oor but that furnished by
the beaten dirt, which is covered with
mats. The furniture of the native
houses is of the simplest and crudest
kind. all homemade, but well suited to
the purpose.
Houses of this sort, while frail look
ing, will last a long time if occupied and
repaired. They are highly combustible,
however, especially during the dry sea-
son, and burn like a bunch of dried
grass in a gale. Our soldiers have pull
ed many of them to pieces for f1rewood,
and many a meal of bacon and beans
has been cooked over the fires thus OBJ
tanned. During the recent fighting with
the Filipinos the American troops burn
ed several villages composed of houses
like this because they found that the
apparently deserted bamboo huts often
sheltered Filipino soldiers, who O.

past. 1T is probable that Aguinaldo

tial place of residence in the near fu-
ture-one of the barred window kind,

Woman Designs and
Manages Comus Day Of
the Mardi Gras.


There is a bright woman in New Orleans
who works the entire year for one night of
carnival. The most wonderful, the.most
beautiful Of the Mardi Gras revelings is
her work.
She is Miss Jennie Wilde, a young So
ciety woman of New Orleans. She mas
charge of Comus from beginning to end.
And Comus day is the most important
feature of the carnival.
ii Comus is an organization formed Of rich
society men, young clubmen who have
money to spend and who need not consider
the dollars where they go.
One day of the carnival belongs to this
organization, and it spends 50, 800 f11 the
procession of floats which on that day rolls
through the streets. This does not in
clude the money spent for the Comus ball
which winds up the evening.
This Connus ball is one of the most ex.
elusive functions in the United States.
Like the famous assembly ball of Phila-
delphia, a card TO Comus means all that IL
most desirable in a social way.
If you are anything in New Orleans, you
will dance at Comus. If you are ineligi-
BILE, neither love, money nor fraud will get
you there.
Miss Wilde has entire charge OF the
planning of Comus. In her little studio

made into spring and summer dresses,
the heavier qualities for spring. The
designs are not SO large al 1t was feared
they would be, not over four inches long
at the largest parts. In scrolls and all
the stellar bodies besides the u and
moon they are printed, and there are
other designs that remind one forcibly
Of the pictures of the cultures Of mi

The sheer organizes are so soft and
fine thai words are powerless to de-
scribe their ethereal loneliness. The
colors are scarcely more than shadows
of colors. so delicate they are. Some Of
these have the accentuating black
stripes of the pompadour styles, but the
most of them have detached patterns of
bouquets of flowers. The ginghams and
zephyrs are dainty enough to take ava
ones breath for very admiration. There

answer the purpose. These ruffies wan

most ~bewildering fashion, sometimes
being arranged in tangled festoons Inc
sometimes in a loose, wavy true lovers

The amount of narrow ribbon used

the quantity that will be employed this
year. 1t is produced literally by the

with corded edge all around the bottom
and up the front, a tri1e to one side.
There were straps of the same arranged
in clusters of three, each having three
oxidized buttons at the end. The belt
was one row of the ribbon. The waist

is very beautiful.

she designs every float, every figure, every
costume, every drapery. every badge,
every souvenir.
Her work begins on that wonderful
series of floats. Every traveller who has
run down to New Orleans in Mardi Gras
time will remember the procession.
There's a deal of work in finding a gen.
eral scheme for these moving pictures.
When she decides that a certain idea
would be clever and practicable, she cons
suits the committee.
A deal of skill is necessary in painting,
All of Miss Wilde's designs, from floats to
flowers, she makes in water color sketches.
Each costume is carefully studied by itself.
1t must be historically correct. Every
item must stand questioning, for 1t viii

When the designs are forwarded to the
committee, with them go brief descrip.

Each organization has souvenirs which
correspond to cotillon favors. Over 100
fall to Miss Wilde's share. When she has
completed her sketches, they are forwarded
to Paris to be carried out. Every woman
who receives a Comus pin for her mask on

This is the native house which was
occupied by Aguinaldo before he took
upon himself the robes of dictator and
military chief. 1t is located in old Ca

around the walled city of Manila. 1t
was from this house that Aguinaldo
went when he made that triumphal en-
whistle and other emblems of authority.

and hen again I have a sort of fellow

so that ones eyes and taste need not
be offended by the horrible, crude pri-
mary colors and ugly designs once
thought good enough for all the lower
grades of all kinds of stuffs.
It really does not pay to purchase
most costly silks, satins and brocades
for gowns which give SO little real
wear, and to pay such prices no

throughout with canton flannel, the
f1eecy side put next the satin, will look
and hang like the richest and costliest
grade of that fabric. A thin ottoman

silks must stand upon their own merits.
Brocade and swivel weave may be OF

canton flannel, 1t was Lillian u
sells clever mother who taught me this,
and it is true.
Several handsome evening dresses
were displayed in one place made OF
what the French call satin uni-that is,
all one colored satin. The colors were
so faint as scarcely to deserve the name
of colors-pale wild rose leaf pink,
moonlight blue, a green SO light that it
looks white in some lights, white ivory
and cream and a delicate shade OF

Tiny ruf1es of the narrowest ribbon

may be accepted. When this rule
is firmly adhered to a girl may have the
satisfaction Of knowing hat she is follow
ing one of the first principles of social law.
A jewel, ring or personal ornament should
not be accepted from any other than the
man to whom she is engaged to be mar
ried. The earlier these rules become es-
tablished in a young girls mind the
easier 1t will be for her to avoid misun-
derstandings and to free herself from
troublesome perplexities.
A young girl should be as chary Of CIV
ing presents to men who are NOT relatives
as she should be in her c-orresoondence
with them. 1t does not follow that she is
a.prude because she is careful in these
small prophecies. A man values her more
If she gives nothing than if she lavishes
presents. If she is engaged to him, she
may send what pleases her fancy; but If
she avoids making gifts until then, she
will neversbe a prey to regret.
In London the reign of the fiounced skirt
is dying out in favor ofthe prevailing eel
skin model. But In Paris there are one or
two autocrats on dress who refuse to turn
out anything but a shaped founce skirt.
Constant efforts and experience have
brought perfection in the cut of that most
difficult model, and the couturier is natur-
ally reluctant to reap no further advant-
age from his Iabors.
The all-prevailing bouillonne, which
trimmed silk and evening gowns some
years ago, are now returning to favor-a
curious revival in the hour of the eel-skin
skirt! They are made Of chiffon, silk, mus
lin, net, tul1e. etc, and are p~rettily COM
bined with the chiffon ruches which are
by no means out of date. The ruche en-
broidery is still approved by London and
Paris e~legantes, and the Viennese use the
decoration even more than London and
Paris.
