giving to all but very slender women the
outlines of a barrel, so many fatty refuse

are the styles that have the front breadth

these require deal of fulness in other
parts, so take 1t all in all. it Is a prob

AID stretchy that they do not take kind

that style has fewer followers than was

Of exceedingly wide insertions set in the
skirts has the tendency to make the
skirts look awry, so very wide insertions
of the coarser laces often are put in as
bands, instead of as insertions. This is
a much safer plan to pursue especially
if the gown under consideration is of
wash stuff.
Coarse, heavy cluny and Irish laces are
fascinating, and it is easy for the shopper
to forget all but the beauty of the weaves
md patterns when purchasing, so it is
well to consider all the outs of these
coarse designs and have your mind fully
made up assto just what it is wise to buy
before ventunng into the stores. Not

How Did the TURKEYS Know?

A Virginia farmer tells a story
which seems to indicate that turkeys
are not as senseless creatures as they
appear to be. "One night recently"
he says, myself and my wife were
out driving AS l was putting up the
horses after returning hone | noticed
my turkeys We're not roosting as usu-
al in the big buttonwood tree by the
barn. Instead they Were perched on
the fence posts and in the limbs Of
other trees.
1T struck me as mighty funny, as
turkeys on the place had roasted in
that tree ever since | could remem.
Der. That night about midnight a hard
wind and rain storm came up and the
OH buttonwood blew down. Now, how
did those turkeys know that tree was
doomed? At shutdown there was no
sign of n storm, and the buttonwood
was fully fifty years old and apparent.

either black or white. Black and white
ideas are as plentiful as ever, and many
of them, without being fiashy, are strik-
ing. Thin lawns, batistes and mulls are
much seen in these combinations, and 1t
Is permissible to have the main part Of
the gown white and trim it with black,
or to reverse this. The latter is rather
on the order of novelty, and black thin
gown trimmed round the low cut neck
with white insertions of lace is q very
striking affair, and incidentally, an ex-
cellent medium for displaying a good
neck. Then there is no prettier display
of Ehe arm than is made through thin
black
1t is not detracting from the beauty of
thin summer dresses to point that they're
unsatisfactory as forerunners of styles
for cool weather. Both their beauty and
their lack of value as sure guides for the
future are suggested by the pictures the
artist puts here. Seen from the rear
is figured French null, freely SHRED,
topped by a collar of the null made over
white silk and finished with French
knots, Together in the next picture are
figured mousseline de sole, white
ground with pink figures, and a figured

with plain white silk gauze for trimming.

IDEAL CAMPING GROUNDS.
A Land of Many Wild Beasts, Game

A Land of Many Wild Beasts, Game
ana Sunshine.
In Florida the country is divided into
hammocks, prairies, open and cyp. ess
swamps, liveoak woods, palmetto ISL
ands and the endless wastes of stunted
pine land. Hammocks are thickly
wooded places with rich soil, but mac
cessible owing to the dense tangle of
vines and scrub The shooting is good
if you will search out the black bears,
wildcats and other animals hiding III
the jungles.
A Florida prairie is a restricted,
low, sandy fiat with thin, Irregular
scattering of poor grass. Here and
there are small shallow pools around
which birds flock in immense numbers.
Deer, wild pigs descendants of the do
nestle pig) as we'll as coons and othei
"varmints," frequent these prairies,
they are the feeding places for the
stately whooping crane, which is a veg
etarian by nature; and sometimes tur
keys feed along the edges.
The open swamps, which form con-
siderable part of Florida, especially OF
the southern half, are full of water
fowl but the finest shooting, with CUR
or camera, is in the cypress swamps
These are very abundant. Each of thu
smaller ones Is a pond, frequently
seven or eight feet deep, surrounded
| by belt of cypress trees and a scani
! growth of myrtle and other bushes
| On the outer edge of this belt maple
trees are interspersed with the cypress
| while beyond is fiat, bare strip OF
| land, anywhere from so to 400 feet
wide, and usually bordered by pal
metto and pine. Some of these cy'
press swamps are of immense size, one
| being, believe, more than forty miles
| long. In them are found every animal
and bird known to Florida.
Usually palmetto islands" exist in
the neighborhood Of cypress swamps-
slightly above the level of the sur
rounding country, and therefore well
adapted for camping sites. The cab
bage palmetto affords shade, liindling,
bed and food. The liveoak- country
has little to recommend it, except that
it offers the most beautiful of camp
ing sites and abundant bedding in the
shape Of Spanish moss. The wood is
scarcely suitable for a campfire, as Its
smoke innames the eyes to a painful
degree.
With the choice of such different
kinds of country, winter climate as
good as can be had, fishing and shoot
ing in abundance, almost endless op
portunities for the camera-hunter and
boating, riding and bathing to suit ev'
cry one-it is a wonder, indeed says
| Country Life in America, that more
people do leave the bitter cold Of the
North for this land where nearly every
winter day is day of sunshine.
