REVIVAL OF sEApwoRK.

For some time collectors have been
buying bead bags, purses. etc, made by
our great grandnothers, and now
those of US who cannot afford to buy
unique specimens are copying them
with the aid of the tiny bead looms
that have lately been revived and put
on the market.
1t isn't difficult work, and any one
with a good stock of patience and an
eye for color can turn out all sorts of
dainty and salable articles. A fob
chain in beadwork makes a charming
finish when it is attached to a watch
slipped into one of the tiny pockets
which Dame Fashion is now kindly al
lowing us on our morning blouses. The
shorthand typist has a pocket for her
fountain pen at the back of the fob.
But the very latest idea is bead
dog collar for evening wear. Stock col
lars are also seen, opera bag, ring and
chain purses. belts (these last particu-
larly charming), table centers, servi-
cite rings. neck chains and dress en-
broideries galore. The uses to which
this charming work can be put are le-
gion.
OF course the art lies in arranging
the pretty colored beads artistically,
but as patterns can be bought this is
no inSurmountable difficulty.

Another season,

however, she will have a machine
shearer worked by steam. Her f1ocks
have become too great for hand shear
ing.
Even a wealthy woman would find
healthfui employment in the keeping of
a flock of these fine creatures. 1t was
not for recreation, however, that Mar
garet Armer took up this industry at
Kingston, Sierra county, n. NJ. In that
region goats are kept for their milk
because they thrive better than cows
and need less water. In some parts
there seems to be not water enough for
the Inilknan to mix with his cows
product. Mrs. Armer had six children,
and she and her husband kept goats to
furnish this numerous and interesting
family with milk and meat. Her hus-
band was miner, and they lived at a
place called Saw Pit Gulch.
At length Mr.. Armer died. There
Margaret Armer was. then, a widow,
with no possessions beyond two f1ocks,
one of goats. the other of children-a
big flock of children as children go, a
very small flock of goats as goats go.
1t was not a cheerful outlook.
But long ago it was said, "To him
who wills ways will not be wanting"
only it ought to be written "her" in
stead of him to fit Margaret Armer.
If you look at her picture you will see
that she has a fine strong chin and
steady. clear looking eyes through
which shines splendid common sense.
She counted the goats and the children
and took account of stock. The goats
had maintained her family in meat and
milk. Why could not they be made te
furnish meat and milk to other people?
Mrs. Armer determined to make the
experiment. If you look at her face in
the little picture again you will see
that it CLOVIS with a quiet energy that

Young men are attracted to her with
out effort on her part, for her charac-
ter shows itself so plainly in her ac-
tions, and young men are so delighted
with the cheeriness and sympathy of
her nature that they are drawn to her
at once. And, what is more, old people
are just as charmed with her as young.
Laughing cheerfulness," once wrote
a well known author, throws the light
of day on all the paths of life This is
just what the laughing girl does. An
unpleasant situation is half conquered
when one has the sense to see its hu-
NOR and laugh at the discomforts it
presents. There is nothing so dark
that it does not possess a lighter side,
and the ability to discover and appre-
ciate it does more to make one happy
than anything else.

does not fuss and sputter, but moves
on dead sure to the end the capable
brain has marked out. When she began
her enterprise it is told that neigh
boring miner said, 1.-THE wildly has two
kinds of kids. and she says she'll make
the goat kids support the child kids"
Mrs Armer sold goats milk and
cheese. She did not sell many kids be-
cause she wished to keep them to en-
large her flock. She increased the An
CORA strain in her goats as rapidly as
possible because the mohair fleece was
becoming more valuable. Mrs. Armer
also took great care of the Angora
kids. Any kid is so stupid that it does
not know it's own mother, and Angoras
are rather more delicate and difficult
to rear than the offspring of just a
plain goat. Mrs. Armer attended per-
sonally to the very small details which
women do not overlook and which in
some departments of the live stock
business are even more important than
the great matters. AS fast as she could
get money Mrs. Armer bought full
blooded Angoras, thus improving her
flock. The lustrous mohair f1eeces
presently became the most valuable
part of her product.
Mrs. Armer informed herself in all
ways concerning Angora goat rearing.
She bought more and more land and
put more Angoras upon it. Now her
ranch includes several thousand acres.
The estate is called Silver Tip. The
human kids" have been comfortably
reared and educated from the products
of the goat kids. Mrs. Armer has a
beautiful home, which she built as soon
as she could afford it. This house is
II 900 feet above sea level. 1t has been
about twelve years since she began her
enterprise.
The real live stock enthusiast is not
content with the mere rearing of ami
mails and selling them for money. It
is with him a matter of pride and pub
lie spirit to improve the, live stock of a
country. Mrs. Armer possesses the
spirit of the really alive live stock
man. Her animals as they improved
were entered for competition at the
agricultural fairs.
The Angora goat industry is increas-
ing, especially in the southwest, and
some time ago a goat show was held at
Kansas City. There one of Mrs. Ar
mer's exhibits won first prize. After
taking premiums at various other fairs,
Mrs Armer gathered a number of her
best goats and entered them for compe-
tition at the worlds exposition at St.
Louis. They are among the finest An
goras ever seen in America.

The milk of the Angora is preferred
to that of other goats, being miIder and
more palatabie. AS to Angora flesh,
that of the kid is considered equal to
lamb, while it is told sub rosa that the
meat of the full grown goat is bought
and sold as mutton. There is a grow
ing market for the milk and flesh of the
goat. The Angora is thus far found to
be the breed that fills these require
ments and bears an exceedingly valua-
BILE fleece besides. Finally, never since
the world began has there been an
agency for clearing the soil of any re-
gion of the earth from weeds, brush and
scrub growth equal to a small flock of
healthy goats Rough land is precisely
what they thrive on.

said Mrs. S. "And, oh. yes. have a
good dinner for yourself and the chill
plenty of ice cream-and tell Broadrib
to send the bill to Mr.. Spark"
Then Angelina went to Mrs. Barr and
said:
Rosemary Barr, what are you doing
here mewking like Marianner in the
mortared grange, with your thumbs
turned inward? Get up. Dress your
self in your prettiest clothes and come
with me and have a good time. Last
year said to myself it would be the
last Fourth of July Bert Spark would

So said, so done. They were both
pretty women-when they had a
chance. They dressed themselves
beautifully, had a long, delightful drive
and brought up at bumpers grove JUS

dependence was finished. Hon. Harold
Spreadwing, candidate for reelection
to congress, was the orator of the day.
He was a handsome. slender, magnetic
bachelor, dressed with scrupulous care.
With him was his friend, Judge Barker.
After the GRAFTON was over Spreadwing
and the judge devoted themselves to
the ladies', and, Mrs. Spark and Mrs
Barr being handsome. lively and agree
able, received much attention. 1t came
about-such things will happen-that
the two ladies, Mr.. Spreadwing and
Judge Barker were presently all dining

Somebody and were so animated and
merry that they made a most pleasing

In the midst of the feast there came
and sat near them two stout, bullying
men, slovenly clad, tousled of hair and
sunburned, having an odor of stale to-
bacco about them. They looked out OF
place alongside the intellectual, well
dressed ladies and gentlemen at the
next table. A peal of laughter from the
table caused them to look that way.

CONSENT oF PARENTS.

A curious law prevailing in France
provides that before being married
children of a family, although over age
shall seek in respectful and formal
terms the advice of their father and
mother. 1t makes no difference, how
ever, whether the consent of parents is
given, for the couple can be married a
month after under any circumstances.
This is also the case in the Neither
lands.
A divorce further entities the inno-
cent party to recover all the presents he
or she may have made.

MARRIAGE uNPoPuLAR.

There is a growing tendency among
the girls of the present day not to
marry. In our sgrandmothers' time ev
cry woman considered marriage as her
raison d'etre and spinsterhood as an
unmitigated calamity, but nowadays
many women deliberately prefer to re-
main single. And there is much to be
said in favor of the single life, with its
independence and its freedom from
anxiety and responsibility. 1T has few
er joys than the married state, but also
fewer cares. And a single woman has
a far better time now than she ever
had before, owing to her increased lib
erty and freedom.

recently about a man who fell in
love with the voice and conversa-
ton between a mother and daughter
in the room next to his at summer
hotel. They were in the habit of tell
ing each other all their little hopes and
pleasures and troubles, and there was
a connecting door the cracks of which
were poorly filled up, so he couldn't
help hearing some of it. He fell in
love with the girls sweet, gentle, COM
panionable ways with her mother so
that he looked her up, was introduced
and before the end of the summer
married her.
The opposite is also true. Give your
confidence to the man who is good to
his mother and sisters, and as for the
man who is not, take my advice and let
him alone. He won't treat you any
better when he has married you and
become used to your presence.

The "trotter frock'' is all the rage in
this country just at present, and even
expensive gowns are made with short

seems that women are beginning to re-

better the trim little sailor hat, the
three cornered hat or even the envel-

see the latter in the sketch worn with
a pongee driving or motoring coat.
The hat is made of pure white straw
turned up at the side and over on to
the crown something like a leaf of an
apple turnover. The space around the
crown is simply filled in with white
chiffon carelessly knotted. The coat is
of the heavier make of pongee known
as gold cloth. 1t is trimmed with taft
feta, on which are appliqued curved
gatherings of narrow black and white
braids. The long effect is given to the
shoulders by the extended sleeve cap

sleeve appears. The coat is further

few people like the quiet, thoughtful
girl; others like the girl who is per-
petually vivacious and bubbling over
with spirits. But everybody likes the
girl with the happy disposition. Girls
of this character are never extrava-
gantly boisterous or dismally quiet.
They have a pleasant smile for every
one. They never seem troubled or
worried, their voice is low and mu-
steal and their smile, be they pretty
or not, is always sweet.
The only trouble that the sunny
tempered girl has to contend with is
her popularity. Every one wants to
talk to her and be in her company.

HEAT AND TEMPER.

A schoolteacher after having made a
brave attempt to instill into some thirty
or forty youthful minds a few facts
about elementary physiology began
asking her pupils some questions on
the subject. What keeps my body
warm?" she asked. For a few minutes
there was silence. Then the teacher,
growing impatient, said again: Comet
Isn't there a single lad who knows what
it is that keeps me hot? ?" please,
ma am, it's your temper!" exclaimed a
boy from the bottom of the class.
