II Is absolutely essential that hens
should have some kind of green food
during the winter months.
Aside from the food that sustains
the physical form. bulky kind is nee

food or clover hay.
A succession of grains followed by
vegetables will round out the months
when natural vegetation is not possl-
BILE.
Oats sowed In August or September
will serve for the month of November,
while rye sowed at the same time will
furnish the green food until February
or March. Oftimes when snow covers
the ground or rain prevents their go
ing out doors. vegetables should be
given them-cabbage. beets, potatoes
and turnips will all be rellshed and
can be had at practically no cost.
Glover hay is very good for hens
and should be given them at least
twice a week. Cut It in inch lengths
and scald with boiling hot water and
stir in corn meal and shorts to make
a crumbly mess. When cool feed To
the hens, but never until late In the
evening. Let the full meal be given
after the days work is done.-Home

Some of the most effective tailor
made gowns exhibit elaborate strap
pings as the sole trimming, usually OF
cloth Of slightly different tint. and
texture from that of which the gown
is fashioned For instance, tweed or
zibline costumes are strapped with
plain cloth matching the prevailing
powder blue fine tweed hecked with a
lighter shade and strapped with plain
powder blue face cloth. The vertical
strapping on the skirt Is particularly
becoming to short figure, as 1t in
creases the apparent height. and the
smart little coat has quite short
fronts and small semi-circular basques
at sides and back, produced by clev-
erly arranged strapping. The sleeves
are strapped in corresponding fashion
and are short enough to display the
full puffed sleeves of the silk blouse
slip worn under the coat.

Winter Hats.

Picturesque In the extreme are the
advance styles of winter hats. The
only danger Is that too much of the
picturesque in any fashion may do
away with what Is really suitable and
becoming. Among the new hats 1t Is
noticeable that while the favorite
style Is the shape that is worn down
over the face. the hat that shows the
hair Is becoming more and more in
demand all the time, and even the
perfectly flat-crowned hats or the hats
with very small crowns, which in the
hand look quite shapeless. have in
side bands that lift them up little
from the head so that the front and
side hair is shown. Large hats are
still much more fashionable than
small ones, so that II is really diff.
cult matter TO get pretty small hat

French bonnet. which some women
wear almost invariably, now, has to
be made to order.

more and more that individual tastes

suited in head-gear. One shape may
be becoming to the majority of faces.
