Some Who Made Their Own Opportunities

gagged In teaching, began in q very modest
way to put out some original work in dress
making. First with the design for collar
cites. then for waists and finally for whole
suits. these women have gradually en-
larged their field until they supply some
of the largest retail stores here and in other
cities. Forty machines are run by electric

THREE BOYS IN 4 PEW.
An Incident in Church That Would Have
Surprised King Solomon.

Solomon was wise guy in his day,
said churchgoer who occasionally forgets
himself in his talk and runs in word or ex-
preston familiar to the street. but he didn't
know 1t all about children. That break
of his about training up a child in the way
he should 60 is an example of his lack OF
knowledge on the subject

Of q Fifth avenue church last Sunday, so
that he could have seen the capers Of three
Youngsters who had been sent to church
by their people don't know where their
people were, but they had trained their
bows to 20 to church, and each one had some
cents to put on the plate.

he put a wad OF gum where 1T made his
cheeks look as if he had q swollen tooth,
and getting the gum under way he began
on the page that had dog ear such as only
q boy knows how to make.
Il think he would have confined himself
to the book and his gum II the other boys
had been more attentive to the way in
which their parents thought they had been
trained. But the other two began match

are very smart and very much in vogue.
They are made with a single short fat
tab depending from the front, are
usually embroidered with beads or in silk,
and are fastened together in front with tiny
frogs OF jet or steel. These odd little collars
are worn indoors and are not made up with
any other material.
The plastron stock must be made either
to match a waist or to be worn over a very
plain blouse. 1t is altogether too distinct
i've and elaborate to be combined har-
moniously with much-trimmed waist.
1t Is smartest Of black satin lined with
white peau de sole. The neck band is
plated like Colonial stock, but there is a
modern touch in the narrow velvet bands
that catch the plaits in shape.

smart in design and finish, suggests not

H.2S0,00O year to make the forecasts;
that the frost warnings of a few days
ago in Florida saved millions of dol

the forewarning of single cold wave
recently saved shippers $4000,000
Many addresses We're delivered at
the sessions of the various sections.
Prof. B. e. Fernow of the Agricul-

Der supply outlook in the United States,
said that a calculation of the present
stand of virgin timber in the United
States, ready to supply the demand for
lumber, showed the improbablity, il
not impossibility. of the United States
meeting the increasing demand for
lumber another thirty years, under
present methods of utilization.
DR.. II. Wiley, chief of the chemistry
bureau of the Agricultural Department
said the work of his bureau had result
ed in the enactment of state laws
which saved farmers millions of dollars
by preventing frauds in connection with
the sale of fertilizers.
Prof. 2. T. Galloway, chief Of the
bureau of plant industry, said a new
