Circular Capes Return.

One of the prettiest evening wraps,
and one which almost any deft-tin-
gered girl can make for herself, hap
pens, fortunately, to be the newest OF
fashions-the circular cape.
1t is long, and, being circular, is
full enough to fall into graceful, rip
ping lines. Nothing before ever
seemed to quite take the place of the
old-fashioned fur-lined circulars, but
this new little wrap, while not so for
NAL, is given so much more flare and
curve that it seems built on peculiarly
girlish lines.
The cape forms almost a complete
circle, the two pieces being cut in
'front.' on the straight of the goods, the
bias seams joining at the back. If a
silk lining is used, take the silk
lengthwise across the circle from cor
ner to corner, with the widths above
and below graduated as necessary. In
this way the fewest number of seams
are contrived.
Turn up the lower edge of the cloth
and haste fiat, pressing it well. Then
haste the silk lining in and blind-stitch
to the outside.
A few rows of stitching will give
body to the front and do away with
the necessity for an inner stiffening.
The little upper capes are cut ex-
actly like the outside, but are only
eight and the other ten inches deep.
These shoulder capes should not be
hemmed, as broadcloth-the only ma
teriol appropriate-will fall into softer
lines with the raw edge.

Chateaubriand Steak.

There is nothing man appreciates
more than good chateaubriand
steak and it is something that is sell
dom found to perfection on the home
table. The following is an excellent
recipe. Trim off fat and skin from
three pounds of beef, cut from the
center Of fillet, and flatten with broad
bladed knife. Sprinkle with salt,
brush over with olive oil and broil
for twenty minutes. With it serve
the following sauce, which is the most
important part: Cook three table
spoons butter, one slice carrot, one
slice onion, bit of bay leaf, sprig OF
thyme, sprig of parsley, and half tea,
spoon peppercorns, until butter is
Drowned Add four tablespoons -four,
one and half cups brown stock, and
one-half teaspoon meat extract. Bring
to boiling point, strain, add one table
spoon lemon juice, two tablespoons
chopped parsley, one tablespoon but
ter, bit by bit, and salt to taste.

Rock Salt for Farm Animals.

One of the best ways to salt animals
Is to use rock salt in very large Jumps.
The cattle and other animals will then
be compelled to lick 1t rather than
eat 1t, and there Is thus no danger OF
them getting too much of 1t. 1t should
be placed where the animals can get
to 1t at any time. 1t should be placed
In a rack or in boxes raised above the
ground so that 1t will not get dirty.
The sides of the boxes and racks
should be high enough so that the
salt cannot be nosed out. In the case
of sheep and goats, the racks for salt
must be low, so the animals can get at
the salt. When the Jumps are reduced
in size, it is just as well to place big
ger ones in the places and remove the
small ones.

Why does not the absent owner of a
farm plant few trees on that farm
every year to improve his property?

trees and so in the great tracts of

kinds Of trees planted and cared for
On all sides of Chicago this is to be
seen. The trees have been potent
factors in drawing people to the sub
urbs to live. No one cares to go to a
section where houses stand upon the
open plain. But If there are thrifty
trees it is different. The same ten.
dency is as true of the farm as of the

Wraps for EVENING.

Wrap milady in fine furs, satin or
ermine when she goes to the play.
There are some very dainty wraps for
evening wear made of cocks feathers,
of ostrich feathers, of marabout and,
cheapest of all, of chiffon trimmed
with ostrich tips. These last, like the
wide lace scarfs, are not only suitable
with light gowns, and for a protection
to the shoulders when in evening dress
but they give such a charming finish
TO the gown that no woman can stand
aside from the temptation.

Latest for Gloves,

A pretty fancy for the woman who
likes something different in gloves
are those with narrow gauntlet cuffs,
embroidered with steel beads. They
are to be found on both black and
white gloves, the black being stitched
with white and the white with black.
The gauntlets are regularly turned
down over the cuff of the gown or re.
versed, turned back over the hand.
They are but little more than an
inch wide, and the embroidery is
charming.

Winter Growth of Sheen.

Sheep should be kept thrifty all
through the winter and should go onto
the pastures next spring in prime con.
dition. The animals that have not yet
obtained their growth should be given
special care, to make sure that the
habit of growth is continued. A check
for few months means a waste of
pasturage next spring, for it will take
some time for them to recover from
the setback received during the win
ter. There is no saving in not giving
the sheep all the fesd they need.
