Miss Slocum added that the demand

Grace Elliott Page is the name of an
other young girl VINO : trying her for
tunes in the Philippines. she is also
a New Englander, Maine girl. and
her dream was to raise turkeys in the
Philippines Islands.
AS the weather is very favorable part
of the year and as the turkeys only
need to have shelter provided for them
during the rainy season. she saw no
reason why they should not thrive on
the Pacific coast as we'll as along the
coast of the Atlantic, and for demand,
there was no question about that An
American turkey in the Philippines,
plump, yellow legged Thanksgiving
turkey brings its price every time.
The Price of Turkeys.
According to her calculations every

and the feed will cost almost nothing.
as nuts grow wild and native foods
are very cheap.
Miss Page took the steamer for the
Philippines in March. She took with
her a cargo of turkey eggs two incuba-
tors and 100 live hens. Her idea is to
divide the labor of Matching the turk
eys between the hens and the incn-
bators and so bring her turkey farm
into the world.
After that all E-ill be pain sailing
as the turkeys wifi grow up lay their
own eggs do their own Matching and
SO go on, forever perpetuating the
turkey family.
There have always been turkeys In
the Philippines, but such turkeys! Thin
and of poor flavor. Ill plumaged and
under sized-none such as grace the
American board on Thanksgiving day!
Miss Page read of the turkey sltua-
ton abroad, in our Pacific colony, sted-
led up the turkey industry, and started
for the Island of Manila to raise
turkeys. That she will succeed there
is little doubt.
The only thing that stands in the
way of the permanent success of
these two women farmers is the fact
that they are young and pretty, and
that there are many marriagable men

In tea gowns, fanciful sleeves have
full scope; three soft puffs and a fri:l

n deep fall of lace are much seen. The

Some of the boleros are the smart est
things imaginable. They are made of
bias-shaped pieces of silk. Your cor
respondent has just seen one in black
glace silk. Every piece was edged
with tiny embroidery of black chen
lille, and the elbow sleeves, embroider-
ed with chenille, were finished off with
garters of black velvet ribbon. This
was useful little garment, destined
to be worn with sleeveless blouses OF
lace or chiffon.
Mrs Ambassador Porter recently
wore one which could not be equalled
for smartness. 1t was of black glace
silk tucked front and back, the most
brilliant white satin lining cleaning
at the wrists, the collar and at the
lapels which were overlaid with gui-
pure lace.
White cloth is immensely worn. SO
are fancy silks. The general tendency
is towards the large cape collars of
1880. They are made in white moira,
double or single, in lace, and in mus
lin with tiny tucks and lace insertion,
or in fine colored silk linen. The
smartest coats have them as revers,
coming well over the shoulders and
fastened with links and chains They
also grace many Of the boleros, which
are made of the richest gold embroil-
cred materials. Some in very pale
fawn cloth are entirely embroidered

PARIS, July Pit has been posi-
lively chilly here when you consider
that the Goddess of Summer is accus-
toned to demand her homage Of dis
comfort and discomfort. Fans have
stepped into the background, except
as coquettish toys. and the parasol has
been carried as a picturesque addition
to the toilette. Cool breezes have
blown from the Seine, and the Eiffel
Tower, with its pretty balconies, has
been quite the coolest spot this side of
Norway, where, by the way, many of
the fashionable people have gone for
the month.
Incited to fresh effort by the wealth
er and the throngs of well attired folk
the rulers of fashion have gone on de-
vising and inventing, scheming and
planning, until they have actually
brought forth in midsummer moies
and fancies, fads and realities that are
new and pretty and some of them very
commendable.
Perhaps the greatest change is in the
sleeves which have been transformed
to give a renewed lease of life to the
bolero and the Elton.
Picturesque "Frondeuse" sleeves are
made to reach above the elbow, and
are turned up with a jaunty rever

The most popular, perhaps, will be

below the elbow, and finished with a
puff and tiounce of transparent lace.
The bell sleeve is being successfully
revived. 1t is made plain or finely
killed, and opens on an under-sleeye

into wristlet or band of black velvet.
Sleeves tucked lengthwise have the
fulness escaping at the elbow into a

where it spreads into the funnel
shaped cuff. The great art in the very
long sleeves is to make them as close
