skirt was trimmed with tabs OF the lace

in one shade of gray. with the exception of
the belt, which was of light blue silk. Col

They include both linen and silk laces,
though the latter are by far the handsomer.
The lace should match the goods as nearly

A really handsome fringe is expensive trim

expensive dressers. There are cheap fringes,

Art of Fine Sewing.
New York Sun.

Fine sewing is again high in favor. wom-
Ell are making not only sheer linen trifies
for the neck. but also entire garments with
no stitch of sewing machine work in them.
Girls make for their friends birthday gifts
of articles of apparel-night dresses,
aprons. corset covers. petticoats, scanned,
felled. hemmed and decorated by hand, with
dainty lace or muslin ruffiing whipped on
with almost invisible stitches.
The materials used are the soft, fine fab
rics that never yield the best results when
put together on the sewing machine. Ma
chine work, no matter how well executed,
will always have a certain witness and
stiffness because of the double thread in
the seam. The handmade garment is FAR
more plant and gratifying. Handmade
outfits are to be got i'm the shops, but at

uality that home making %confers; so the

Home Dressmaking.

Philadelphia Ledger.
For the woman whom nothing ready
made fits except al umbrella and a pocket
handkerchief, the problem of dressmaking
at home is an important and
serious one. However, there are
few who cannot get some things
ready made to fit very well, only a portion
OF the necessities of the wardrobe falling
to the share of the home dressrnaker.
After all that has been proclaimed about
the fitness and conveniences of the ready
made shirtwaist, there is, perhaps, no other
garment in woman's wear that needs more
careful attention to make it look just as
it ought than this special one.
For one thing, wristbands should fit. The

A NATURAL HISTORY STUDY
BY ERNEST HAROLD BAYNEs.

In the South there is one bird which ev-
erybody knows whether he is a nature stu
dent or not; I refer 10 the turkey vulture,
or turkey buzzard. as most people call him.
This bird seems to be an ever-present feat
ure of the Southern landscape, for look up
ward when you will. you may see him
sweeping the sky with outspread wings,
wheeling in broad circles or soaring in
graceful spirals. with seemingly never a
stroke of the mighty pinions for hours at a
time. One day 1 saw a vuIture sailing thus,
and l carefully marked its flight until il de-
scended upon the white clouds and disap-
peared near the edge of a distant wood.
Supposing that it had come down To feed
on some carrion-a dead horse. perhaps,
which had been dragged just inside the
woods and left made the best of my
way to the spot where 1 lost sight of the
bird, that I might be a witness to the feast
L arrived at the wood. but neither bird nor
carcass could I see. Then l bethought me
that this was the month of May. and that
perhaps the buzzard had a nest Whereabouts.
/ hunted under the bushes. along the sides
OF fallen trees and in some old stumps
which were standing near. but not a feath-
er was 10 be seen. Presently 1 spied a log
which lay somewhat apart, in the shadow
of some shrubs, and as L approached il. out
from came a big turkey buzzard
which quickly disappeared behind the trees.
On coming up to the log, which was a large
one, l ound that it was hollow. and in the
cavity there were two eggs, which doubtless
belonged TO the vulture which had just de-
parted. They were considerably larger than
the eggs of a domestic hen, and in color
they were dirty white. heavily spotted with
chocolate brown. 1 left them that L might
have an opportunity to study the young.
The next time l visited the hollow log, the
parent birds were not in sight, but in the
nest l found two downy fledglings. which
could scarcely be called pretty. They were
in every way less attractive than young
hawks of the same age. They expressed
growing sound. I could not visit the spot
again for some weeks, and when 1 did one
of them had disappeared. The other was no
longer in the hollow log, but standing at a
little distance, and I was interested to see
the change in his appearance. In the first
place he had grown tremendously, the down
which had formerly covered the whole body
was now confined chiefly to the head. neck
and underparts; the rest of the bird was
clothed with firm black feathers. He looked
fat and well fed, and a living proof Of the
nourishment there must be In %carrion, since
young buzzards are fed by reorganization on
the partly digested contents of the stOm-
achs of their parents. AS 1 approached, the
young birds turned, and, with lowered head.

some bushes, into which he crawled out of
