"White, watered satin, covered with
point lace, and the sweetest pearl

turning to the shop-girl.
The gi!l g euced at the label.
'Twenty-A~a dollars" answered
she.
Ellen's countenance fell.
ooh, can never, afford that" said
she. 'Twelve is all I have to pay. T
must content myself with something
less elegant. Show me other styles
please -
AS she spoke she closed the fan so
suddenly that one of the sticks slip
ped cut of place and tore a jagged
rent through the exquisite point lace
stretched across it. Ellen stared
guiltiiy, and, gla2cng around to make
sure that no one was looking at her,
replaced it in its box.
SIT was. only IN accident" she told
herself, and the shop-girl brought a
new box of fans for her inspection !;
81 an not to blame. No one can ez-
pect me to pay for s25 fan destroyed
by accideat-and besides, they should
make these things stronger
And pushing away the large box
she turned her attention to the new
fans, and finally settled upon pretty
rose-colorel article, edged with Span
ish blonde, which came nearer the
sum she had appropriated Cor her fan.
''Well," said Aunt Keturah, ''are
you suited?"
''At last, auntien'
''Then let's CO." said the old lady,
''or T never shall get an opportunity
to buy my furniture, chintz and un-
bleached muslin. Fans and lace poe
ket handkerchiefs and pink sashes are
all very we'll, but they're of no use III
a housekeeping point of view No use

Ellen Purple went to the party in a
dress of rose-colored silk, with an
overdress of Swiss muslin, and the
prettiestof sashes, looped artistically
over it-and she was very happy. Ali,
indeed, why should she not be? Only
IS; the petted darling OF an old
bachelor uncle and maiden aunt, with
a face that satisfied her girl-heart
every time she looked into the glass,
and sunny, happy Temperament that
was worth more than fortune, in
that it learned her to see the bright
side OF human nature and sip the
sweets from life's cup, regardless OF
its bitter dregS. And, moreover, Guy
Middleton danced three times with
her, and carried of one Of the buff
roseouds from the ball bouquet Uncle
Simeon had presented her. vowing he
would keep it for ever and ever.
''Oi course no one knows what
these promises amount to-" laughed
Ellen, as she told Aunt Keturah, who
was sitting MP in prodigious flannel
dressing gown anG her hair in a por-
cupiae state Of curl papers, to hear
her niece's report of the ball festivi-
ties, ''Dut they are very nice at the

Items of Interest to Farmer

Keep charcoal and salt where the
fattening hogs can have easy access to
them. l.
Breed the young ssows so that they
will larrow their young litters in the
spring after the grass has come.
That the hog is filthy animal is
the fault Of it's ownor. Hogs prefer
cleanly quarters and will take them
when they can get them.
Only small amount of cornmeal
should be used in feeding the pig, and
it should be combined with other feed
that makes bone and muscle.
Growing pigs must have exercise,
but not too much Of it. If they run
over an extensive range they cannot
be kept in sufficiently gooa-condition
to give the BEST results.
1t takes the least feed from the time
of weaving until the pig is finished
for market if it is kept always in good
condition. If it loses that condition
there must be extra feeding and longer
time to bring him up to it again.
To raise them proftably the pigs
should be kept in good health aud
continually growing. There is some
thing wrong in the breeding or care if
the pig cannot be made ready for mar
ket by che time be is ten months old.
The scraps from the table and
kitchen and egetable waste, fruit
peelings, ETC., should all be utilized
as 1eeding stuff. The pigs and chick
ems will eat them, and they furnish a
variety, and the kind of food that is
needed.
When the weather is cold and wet
remember that portion of the feed is
employed in keeping up the animal
heat, and that consequently more feed
is needed at such times. Well-shel.
tered, clean, dry, warm quarters,
economise feed.

s1ashed Cravats the Latest.

Silk cravsts, long enough to go
around the neck, cross behind and tie
in front with long ends, are new and
pretty where the ends are slashed
into strips about five inches long,
each strip being button-holed all
around with black silk, or OF silk of
darker shade Of the same color as the
cravat. Some of these cravats are
slashed into five strips, some as many
as ten, according to the width of the
silk ribbon used for the purpose.
Such fanciful ties. of course, are more
suitable worn with open-work en-
broidery or mousseline collars than
with the mannish linen band.

Ellen Purple swept into the ia ncy
store, her gray silk suit rustling softly,
the long, wine colorel, willow plume
dropping over the b.im OF her hat, and
her dark, brilliant eyes sparkling with
health, good humor and exercise. She
was a pretty brunette, with black eye
brows, long lashes and the cream
tinted skin which is like velvet, so
soft, fine grained AMI clearly colored.
What q contrast to her was the
fragile girl, standing behind the
counter il her shabby de beige dress
with dyed ribbon bow at her throat
:and friil Of mendel lace encircling
her slender neck. But this world
offers us contrasts at every step.

the latter asked.
''Oh, T don't know. Pink, T sup

second OF two OF consideration on the
mon entcus question. ''Pink is my

stands at the side, and is Shaded in like
manner from crimson to rose pink,
combined with green velvet leaves.

Pink is a favorite color for hats. It
is seen more than any other shade ex-
cept white, and a combination of the
two lis frequent. Another Spanish
shape has brim of ermine, crown
of white MORE and a cluster of shaded
pink roses at the side. The latest
roses have rather ragged petals and
are shaded ezquisitely.
One of the daintiest hats worn this
season has just been sent home to a
beautiful blonde society bud. It is
of pink tulle, tucked and shirred into
toque shape and turning back from
the face with a rather wide brim
which is covered with a lovely design
in silver to give the wheat effect so
popular this season.
One more hat which deserves de-
scription has a Spanish brim Of chin
chilla with a soft tucked crown of law
ender chiffon. A large cluster of silk
and velvet feur-de-lis in exquisite
shades of ,urple with touches Of yel-
low gives distinction to this bit of
millinery.

Grain for the Sheep.

Some breeders do not feed grain to
their ewes except at breeding time,
but there is ha.dly doubt but what
a farmer would gain financially in the
end by feeding it in small quantities
all the time. II you use corn there
would not be much loss, anl certainly
time saved, by feeding it in the ear,
for it is claimed by great many that
it does not pay to grind tie grain fed
to sheen.

"a Group of Beautiful Hats.

The hats this season are enough to
sejoice the heart of any woman, or
man either, for what man is not glad
to see a pretty face crowned by a be-
coming and beautiful hat? The toques
for afternoon and evening wear are Of
the most delicate shades, and being
often combined with lace they have
an exquisite airy effect. One Of the
lovliest recently made by a fashion
able milliner has soft, full crown Of
rose pink miroir velvet, over which a
delicate yellow scarf is draped. The
small faring brim is of ermine, double
faced, and snowy white plume start
ing in front sweeps over the pink vel
vet until it rests on the hair at side
and back.
A very dainty toque for evening
wear is Of blush roses, which form
bota crown and brim. Several
cut steel buckles are run through
with pink velvet rosettes, and a white
paradise plume gives very dainty
effect.

Breaking mp Sitters.

Some find the breaking up of sitting
hens very difficult thing to do, and
they really think they have to torture
the hen in order to make her abandon
her desire to brood. We have known
poultry men and women to duck the
hens in water several times and then
turn item loose; Iase-krown the hens
to go about with hoods on so they
could not see, and to be shut up il
dark places without food or water for
n week OF more. It is not necessary
to resort 10 cruel methods to break up
a hen that wants to sit, says writer
in Blooded Stock. What is wanted is
to turn the desire 70 sit into the desire
to lay again. 1t will be but little sd-
vantage to have them broken from
wanting to sit and have them lay four
OF five eggs Only to again become
broody, which they will do if they are
not cared for as they should be. The
reason for this is that the conditions
which caused the hen to become
broody have not Been changed and
they cannot be changed by force.
When hen becomes broody it means
that the reproducing capacity of
her system, fo" the time being, has
become exhausted end that recupera-
ton is needed. The first step to such
recuperation is rest, and being an in,
dustrious bird, they feel that they
might as we'll "aise brood while
resting as to f. ol away their time.
Some animals all. birds may be stimu-
lated to do that which is. not natural
for them, but is it best? The tired

With the disbandment OF the War

decided that there would be no ad-

for that date. The Baltimoreans are
