TREATMENT OF BRINIs.

position by a piece Of ribbon tied round
it and arranged underneath in a knot
composed of many loops. Flowers
+. clustered low are frequently added at
the side, partly resting on the rolled
over brim, partly OH a Cache-pegne;
some however have an ostrich feather
fastened at the point, tip forward. An
other arrangement consists in folding
the brim over fiat on both sides and
rAikewise the point at the back, the eff
tkeet in front being that of square
Ipoke similar to the preceding. Under
these circumstances there is no room
for cache-peigne and the trimming
lies on the top on the overturned
brim.

GRASS FOR CHICKS.

luciye to the health OF young chicks
as a plat of ground where grass Or

fellows run about gathering a sprlg

grass grows are always thrifty, never
have gapes, and invariably grow rapid

and after they have reached maturity
the habit does not forsake them
A woodland makes a delightful spot
for rearing chicks, the shade, the insect
life and the grass all combining to aid
the growth and develop the health of
