These waists, as a rule, are in dark

are used, and the rather heavier silks

as gros grains. There is a shade OF
pinkish blue that is very good in this

very light blue velvet ribbon. There
are many regular shirt waists in fan

a olever Callfornin Woman.

California boasts Of a girl who has
been the foreman of a thrashing crew
and successfully harvested a season of
grain. Her name is Ethel Hobson.
Her father is a rancher Of San Luis
Obispo County. He had a thrashing
outfit with all modern improvements,
and for fifteen years has harvested
grain for the country. His daughter
has always been his close companion,
and when she was but a little girl
5played about the harvesting machin-
cry ia the field. For the last three
years since she was sixteen she has
been his bookkeeper In this capacity
she has gone with him from ranch to
ranch, camping out in a tent at night.
This year at the height Of the season
Mr.. Hobson met with an accident,
which laid him up for the summer and
rendered it impossible for him to fill
his contracts. 1t was then that his
\8auchter proved her ability to carry
on the business, which she has done
with marked success She took her
fathers place as captain of the big
machine in the field Every detail she
superntended herself, from the en-.
CINE to the separator. Twenty-three
men worked under her direction. Some
were reputed to be hard characters,
but one and all obeyed her orders to
the letter.

Gowns Of varied Beauty.

1t will be remembered that a certain
princess in the fairy tales had a gown
which she used to carry round in a
walnut she'll when on her travels. Just
, such a frock was shown the other day
at one Of the smart faiseurs'. 1t could
almost have been passed through a
ring. 1t was gathered all round and
opened over a petticoat OF tulle con
fined by the newest of satin bows and
boasting the most delightful little
pointed waistcoat, fashioned of pink
silk and silver embroidery and own
ing the dearest little sleeves Of lace,
caught up with a ribbon Of soft satin.
The whole bore a suggestion Of the
days Of Marie Antoinette, and one
longed to see it worn by a fair girl
whose golden locks would be worn
somewhat high over cushion wreath
ed with pink roses and one long curl
falling on the left shoulder.
Another evening dress was a poppy
red crepe de chine a lovely glowing
creation, the color Of which was thrown
up by two full-blown roses in white
mousseline diamente. There was an
idealized Louis Seize frock in blue,
painted with vioIets, and with raised
violets in chiffon, and rul1es OF lace
and diamond buttons on the most be-
coming little coat-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

How to Fill Pillows with Feathers.

Every woman who has ever tried to
fill new ticking cases with feathers
knows the full difficulty of the task
set the princess in the fairy tale, who
was ordered to put one bagful Of
feathers into another without letting
a single one escape. They fly hither
and yon, stick to clothing and carpets,
and almost drive the neat housewife
to despair.
But housekeepers in the good old
days had a way Of dealing with them
which is well worth passing on to their
children's children. The new ticking
cases were sewed firmly all around,
except for a space Of ten inches at
the middle of one of the narrow ends.
The case from which the feathers
were to be removed was then ripped
open for the same distance in the
middle Of one Of the short ends, and
the sides of the slit thus formed were
stitched to the sides of the opening
in the new case. This of course united
the two cases closely, leaving an open
ing between, through which the feath-
ers can easily be pushed by deity
"kneading" the outside Of the case
containing them. When the latter is
empty rip the cases apart, collect the
few that may still be clinging to the
sides or in the corners of the old one,
put them into the new pillow, sew up
the ten-inch slit, and the troublesome
task will have been accomplished with
very little labor.-The Ladies World.

White velvet painted in floral design
is the latest fancy in corsets.
Ok blood felt with violet trimmings
represents one of the seasons combi-
nations.
Flat buttons and long wasted pouch
fronts are the characteristics Of the
new fannel waists.
Fancy buttons, many Of them hand
painted, appear on some Of the hand
soonest hats this season.
There is a growing tendency to use
two materials in sleeves, and the most
ultra sleeves are made Of puffs from
the shoulder to the hand.
The double English violet is being
utilized for entire flower toques and
turbans, and also for millinery garni-
ture The dahlia, however, is the
flower of the season.
Sable cloth is quite a new fabric,
being made up as winter costumes,
partaking much of the nature Of zibe-
line, but richer in it's effects Of light
and shade in the folds. This is to be
obtained in many colors, but looks
lovely in deep violet with glow Of red
in It.
1t is as a rule only in the more ez-
pensive gloves that buttons can be
found, and buttons are considered
much smarter and have been for some
time than the clasps. This is a Paris
idea. However, there are many more
Of the clasp gloves worn than the but
toned. and there is no objection 20
them so serious that one need quarrel
with them.

Pine street is getting to be favor
ite camping ground for burglars and
