As TO Wearing COlOrs

As women grow older they often are
able to wear colors which in their
youth they found unbecoming. Green,
for instance, may be unsuitable in
early life, but later on certain shades
OF the color may be chosen with decided
advantage. Blues and pinks that made
youth attractive often prove unsatisfac-
tory to women OF middle age. To a
girl OF 20 black is sometimes strikingly
becoming, but much less to Older wo-
men, unless cream silk or satin, lace
or net, or some redeeming color, is
introduced. for if woman looks at all
well in black garments she usually
looks exceedingly well. How to relieve
with white or certain color contrasts
black attire is important to all wo-
men Of middle age who give thought
to dress.
Lace will be an important feature of
the trimming OF winter gowns, and all
varieties are being held for this pur-
pose. from the very fine spider web to
the coarser renaissance and cluny 1t
will be put on all kinds of cloth and
silk brocades.
Mock Jewels OF silk embroidery on
black hose are among the latest fads.
One extremely pretty pair displayed
recently had dainty all over lace pat
tern running half way up the stock

In public places in the outside garment
The models shown this season are cap
tivating and a choice is thereby made
more difficult than usual There are
long, loose cloaks, ulsters with half
fitted backs, short jackets to match the
skirt and elaborate coats of hasf
length.
In the more dressy ones, the long,
naring sleeves are in evidence. Some
of them ft loosely from the shoulder
90 the elbow, then open in bell Shape
in the lower part. These sleeves are
particularly appropriate for the long
velvet coats OF the Third Empire de-
sign. These have the loose effect, with
simple but handsome trimmings Of
Grecian pattern along the bottom and
in the fiaring sleeves. Even in some
of the coats Of Scotch chsviot which
reach quite to the feet the same style
of sleeve is used
Among the novelties are the Louis
XVI coats and the shorter Louis XIV
ones. They are made OF kerseys, OK
ford and Scotch mixtures, as well as
the velvet, which, OF course, is more
appropriate.
All the new wooden materials are Of
the zibeline order, very soft and silky
,and excellent for draping, but distin-
guished by the long hairs on the sur
face. Some are shot or changeant.
Many OF the wraps are made of sim
pie materials and are astonishingly
smart. Indeed, elaborate wraps and
manltles seem out of date now, and it Is
the style. not the fabrics used, that
gives cachet to a garment
Some chilly mornings have brought
out warmer blouses than the dainty
muslins and batistes that have done
service all summer, yet it is not time
for flannel waists. An excellent be-

Facts ON HoE-Eeedfng.

Young animals will give more gain
for the same amount of feed than
will older animals. There is no ad.
vantage in farmers carrying along
their animals with just enough feed
to keep them alive. 1t is not wise
to have the hogs on scant feed eth.
err summer or winter. Swill and
milk will not work well with silage,
that combination making an unbal.
anced ration. During the winter
season some of our best feeders
make corn one-third to one-half OF
the ration, using swill with ground
peas and oats for the balance of the
ration. One feeder hat we know of
makes his swill of milk and mid
dlings, making a thin mixture. Into
a barrel of this is thrown a shovel
full of hardwood ashes.-Farmers'
Review.

A STORY.

Goodland, Kan, Dec. 23.-N. e
Albertson, a local blacksmith, had al.
most decided to give up his shop alto
gether on account of Rheumatism
which had crippled him SO that at
times he could not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms were SO
sore that he couldn't sleep at night,
He had suffered for years, but was
getting gradually worse till at last
he had about made up his mind to
give up. But just then he heard Cd
some wonderful cures of rheumatism
by Dodd's Kidney Pills and thought
he would try for a cure once o
They cured him completely and he
has not a trace of rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given up and
MI. Albertson may be seen there any
day hard at work as if nothing ever
allied him.

this, it being so much easier-aye
agreeable-on a cold winter morning
to dump the feed in the trough and
hurry back to a warm fireside as soon
as possible.
Now, all this trouble can be easily
eliminated, for the most part, by at
taching a cover to the back of the
trough, using the leather straps for
the hinges, with a hasp at the front
edge staple driven into the board of
the pen, and a wooden or ron peg
thrust through it to keep it up during
the day, as is shown in the accompany
ing illustration.
At night the peg should be pulled out
and the cover allowed to drop down
over the trough. Then anything it
may contain will not freeze very hard,
and snow or dirt which might other
wise be blown in will be kept out.
Remember, a good wide board, a
hasp and a staple and about one hours
time are all that is required for the
construction of this valuable device;
valuable in that it will save many
pounds of meat, to say nothing of the
laborious work of cleaning out frozen
feed.-Frederick o. Sibley, in N. Y.
Tribune.
