The South Florida Fair.

Mr.. T. J. Laud-Brown, the Origi
nator and promoter of the South
Florida Fair, spent yesterday morn
ing in Ocala, and spoke hopefully of
its success.
The main purpose of the fair is to
induce immigration to Florida, and
low excursion rates have been secured
from Chicago and as many as two
thousand prospectors are expected to
take advantage of the rates and visit
the fair.
Fifteen thousand dollars have been
or will be secured and given away in
premiums.
There will be special county days
and after the fair is over special eX-
cursion trains viii be run from Tam
pa to the various counties making
exhibits and everything possible will
be done TO locate the visiting pros
pectors.
Six hundred dollars will be given
to the county making the best collec-
ton exhibit; two hundred and fifty to
the second and one hundred and fifty
to the third, and the premium list for
individual exhibitsis quite attractive.
Mr.. Brown says that never in the
history of the state has Florida awak-
ened so much interest and he thinks
the South Florida Fair will mark a
new era in immigrational statistics
and the accomplishment of actual
results.

DAINTY SOFA PILLOW.
An Exquisite Fancy Work Iden from
France, at Once simple and
Yet Decorative.

Pretty sofa pillows add greatly to
the furnishings and general appearance
OF a room, and the one am about to
describe, with its exquisite ribbon-work
blossoms, cannot fail to please even the
most fasudious. The French people
are noted for their artistic tastes, and 1t
is to them that we are indebted for this
dainty art Of ribbon work.
In this pillow. violets and their TO-
liage are the motif huge bunch In one
corner, a little group or two in others,
and some loose, scattered ones, leaving
the careless grace Of the natural flower
plainly evident. The material used as
a background is brown linen. A cream
cOlored basket weave canvas Is also very
beautiful carried. out IN this manner.
The leaves and stems are first embroid-
cred solidly in shades OF green floss,
and then comes the ribbon work.
For this two or three shades Of violet
colored silk ribbon are required, rib
bon that is soft, pliable and about a half
inch wide. One shade can be made to
answer. but the result is much more
pleasing If two OF three are used, and as
the same quality and width are required
the expense will be no greater The
French embroidery ribbons are shaded
themselves, so that only the one length
Is needed, but It is not always possible

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
some Excellent Advice Once Given by
beautiful Woman to an Ar
dent Girl Admirer.

To preserve the look Of youth. when we
are really young, is undesirable, and
nothing probably latters the girl Of l6
more than TO be told she looks 20. When,
however. she has reached that age, she
would probably like to stay there, OF
even TO regain the immature charms Of
sweet 16.
How to look young Il matter Of great
importance to use as We get on In life,
and TO those who have their living TO get
lt is OF even more importance than to
the happy owners Of comfortable in
comes.
Keeping young looking depends very
much on ourselves. Here is some good
advice once given by beautiful woman
to a girl admirer who asked her for her
receipt for remaining such an ever
green"
Never work on TIL you are seemingly
at the last gasp. whether at your bust
ness or your pleasure, but rest as you go
along. II you forego rest till your work
is done, the chances are that you will
them be too tired to take It. Get all the
beauty sleep you can. Remember that
late hours are fatal to good looks and
health, and don't commit the folly OF
working far into the night. and then
wondering why your work is not well
done and you feel so good for nothing
next day.
Shield your nerves and don't let them
become too sensitive. Make yourself take
life calmly. II you lose a train don't
pace the platform wildly, but inquire
when the next comes In, and sit down
calmly TO wait for It. That's Just what
most women don't DO; they sit down,
perhaps, but they tap the floor with their
feet, clinch and uncinoh their hands, and
are apparently in fever heat Of excite
ment over the arrival Of every train that
comes IN, even though they have been
assured that theirs Is not due for another
half hour That half hour Of waiting
means TO them frightful wear and tear
on nerves, and they are practically weeks
older TOT II.
TRY to cultivate calm, but II you can
not do that all at once, you can keep your
face still. It need not record all your
emotions OF anger, worry and perplexity.
Biting your lips and wrinkling your
brows Will not help you, and the indul-
eence in these tricks will add ugly lines
to your face, making you old looking be-
fore your time IN. Y. Weekly.

not too coarse. Thread this with

through to the right side just at the

at the outer edge Of one Of the petals

Is used, make some flowers darker
than others, or the upper petals IN
some cases lighter or darker than the
lower ones, planning to have the BIOS
SONS as varied as possible.
The hearts Of the violets are then
embroidered with a few stitches Of pale
green floss on the large petals running
from the center a short distance down
the petal This touch Of green is then
surmounted by a couple Of stitches in
yellow at either side Of II and uniting
in the center, thus forming an inverted
V over the ribbon. These stitches aid
in holding the ribbon in place, and

Modern Feminine Clothing.

There is a good deal seriously to be
said about feminine clothing. AS regards
the general public, the most important
Indictment Is against the trailing skirt,
which rescues tubercle bacilli from the
sunlightand brings them into the nursery
and living room. But as regards the
woman herself, a German doctor has just
published an exhaustive study Of, among
other things, the weight Of feminine
clothes. which weigh, on the average, 30
per cent. more than mems, though a
woman is smaller and less muscular.
One new criticism Of the corset may also
be quoted-that the modern straight
