CATTLE RAISING IN FLORIDA.
Millions Of Acres Of FIatwoods for

There are millions of acres of fat

herds But in the fatwoods the closer
and harder the depasturing the more
rapidly will the wiregrass be killed
out and supplanted by some of the
choicest grasses. such as the fat grass,
Bermuda grass, cocksfoot and others.
These come involuntarily, without
waiting for seeding by man. II is
one of the mysteries of nature where
the seed comes from. rhe outlook
for Florida stockmen is bright If they
would only Introduce better native
grasses and breed up their cattle.
Much injury has been done to the
State by i'll advised importations of

MIDWINTER MILLINERY.
Popularity of the white Hat Increases
Decorative Pins.


The prophecy of white winter has
proved veracious. Hats of such fluffy,
filmy whiteness that they suggest the
sunny days of midsummer are con-
stantly seen disporting themselves at
theatre, concert and even church. They
may be of felt or velvet or tulle, or
all three. with equal piopriety, and are
adorned with feathers, lace, fur or
flowers. White velvet flowers are par
ticularly in demand, and are mingled
with foliage of so faint green as just
to escape being white. Branches of
white holly, with the merest touch of
green, and with white berries, are
among the novelties in this direction.
"A particularly beautiful hat seen re-
Gently was made of imitation Irish
crochet lace. The crown was square.
The brim was fiat in front. lifted at
the left side and allowed to droop
In the back A multitude of tiny folds
of chiffon faced the front. Around
the crown was a garland of large roses,
in palest shell pink and cream white
their surfaces glittering with simu-
lated dewdrops. Dusty miller leaves
We're mingled with the roses. Two
roses and a cluster of the leaves were
arranged under the brim at the left
side.
Fur appears in combination this year
with velvet, tulle. chiffon, lace and
flowers, and is less often seen alone
than in previous winters.
A large toque. particularly dainty,
has wide crown of Canada mink fur
and brim draped with folds of
creamy white chiffon under draped
yelling of applique lace tlouncing. 4
garland of pink crushed roses encircles
the crown, and long cluster of pink
crushed roses lifts the brim at the left
of the back.
The most popular flower hats are
the toques covered with violets. A
new model is of pale English double
vlolets, and has facing OF pale violet
chiffon. A natty black toque has its
broad, fiat crown covered with black
silk embroidered lace over n draping
of black tulle. The brlm curls up
gently all around and is smothered
under multitude of closely set, double
tulle rutiles. each of which is edged
with a row of tiny gold spangles. A
bow of black velvet clasps the brim
at the back.
Many are the designs in millners'
jewelry. In addition to the ornaments
for finishing the ends of feathers, TO
be had both for one and two feathers,
there are all sorts Of devices for fin-
ishing the great variety of velvet bows
which are so much used. The palm
shaped arrangements of black bows
are mounted in curved bars made for
the purpose. Pins are in dull silver
and gilt. Those set with turquoise are
among the prettiest. Jet pins continue
in vogue. Brooches in filigree, gold
and white pearls are among the nov
elites. These are generally set in a
fiat rosette of lace against the upturned
side of brim. Buckles are for the
time less used than other ornaments.
Among the new shapes in hats is one
between the toque and capote. 1t has
coronet brim of Marie Stuart form,
and the crown is low and broad. The
material with which the crown is Gov
cred is laid on In flutes, all of which
converge into point at the back. The

King Seeks Lost Golden Cradle.

The King of Sweden has offered
$4,000 to the finder of a cradle with
a curious history. In 1920 a German
Prince sent to Queen Ulrica Eleanora
of Sweden, a cradle of solid gold as a
christening present for her child. The
ship containing the present was driven
by a terrible gale on the shores of
the Island of Tjorn, where 1t became
q total wreck. The inhabitants of
the island massacred the crew and
pillaged the ship. but the cradle was
saved and now lies buried in a lonely
part os the island.
