WOMAN AND BEES.

Among the, beekeepers of the north
west Mrs. y. L. Stow of Evanston is
regarded as an authority upon many
phases of the business, and her contri-
buttons to journals devoted to the
study of bees have been numerous and
varied. She is vice president of the Il
linois Beekeepers' association, an office
she has held since the society was or
ganized in 1895, and one of the impor-
tant places on the programme at the
annual meeting is generally given to
her Mrs. Stow has a large and thor
oughly equipped apiary and is a close
student of all things pertaining 10 bee
culture. She began in a modest way in
1884 with four colonies of bees. They
throVe and increased until for several
years she had nearly a hundred colo
MES. She has now reduced the number
to twenty, which is more profitable. she
says, than a large apiary. She does all
the work of attending TO the bees han
ding them without fear. and not a
swarm has escaped her. She says that
to be successful with bees you must be
fond of them. and TO be fond OF them
you must thoroughly understand them
She says that the habits and apparent
whims of the insect are interesting
enough TO keep in the business a person
well informed on the subject.

Comfort and RELIGION.

They say the world is becoming more
practical. Well il seems at least as if
the churches We're making move in
that direction. There is more done for
the comfort of the churchgoers, and the
pastors seem to realize that there is a
close connection between the physical
comfort and the spiritual welfare of

A Modish Gown.

This gown is of black yelling over
black silk. The coat, made in the loose,
hanging style, has a deep. shirred cape,
or, rather, yoke, giving by the aid of a
border of fringe a cape effect. The
wide belt is of folded panne. Long tabs
OF yelling edged with the fringe hang
down the front. The skirt is shirred

are slightly raised in the back.

ones feet do not happen to be small.
