city woman wanted such small
frame she would say to herself, "Tll
get one at the ten cent store" But in
the country there is no ten cent store.
and the woman's brain and nimblc
fingers must serve her instead.
Very well. Let her take two long
hairpins and pull them out straight
With pair Of small pliers she can
bend each of the four ends into the
form Of hook. Then she twists the
wires together in the middle, bending
the ends far apart. Careful manipula-
tion will fix the four arms of the twist
ed pins at just the right distance apart
with the hooked ends all turned one
way. When the frame Is finished the
plate may be put into it. The hooks
will hold securely. After that tie

1HE HANDY WOMAN.
The Art of Rolling an Umbrella to
Look Like New.

hooa Nt"s
Ever notice the difference between
the neat and handy woman's umbrella
and that of the careless, haphazard
woman who hops along any old way.
After rainstorm, when the neat wo
mans umbrella is wet and dripping.
she opens it part way and puts 1t han
die end down in a convenient place TO
dry If she spread it ont fully the silk
would crack and split $ it got dry. If
the point end were down the water
would run into the ribs at the top of
the umbrella anu rust them.
When the umbrella is quite dry the
neat woman opens 1t slightly and
shakes it vigorously to get all the wrin-
kles out and leave the folds free. Next
she holds the umbrella horizontally in
front of her, turning 1t slowly, getting
each fold in place. That done, she
holds it perpendicular, point upward,
and prepares to roll it. Leaving the
folds as she placed them, with her left
hand she clasps it firmly at the top
just where the silk begins. Her right
hand grasps the lower ends of the
steel ribs and holds them in place. The
picture shows you how to do it. Then,
with the fold on which the strap Is
sewed next you, begin to turn the UNI
brella from left to right Again the
picture shows you how this is done.
As the rolling proceeds slide your left
hand slowly down along the folds to
keep them in place. Remember to

keep your grasp on the lower ends of
the ribs as you turn the umbrella. Then
when your left hand has slidden down
till it reaches the right fasten the
strap neatly. and there you are!

Tools Useful For Women.

The Japs excel all the rest of the
world in respect to manual training,
and we Of the west have much to learn
from them There are several simple
mechanical tools every girl and woman
should be taught to use. For one
thing, every mothers daughter should
have penknife aud, what is more,
keep 1t sharp and in good order. It is
disgrace not to be able to sharpen
pencil. A sharp penknife is the best
implement for ripping long and diff.
cut seams and for cutting pasteboard
Or leather. Other tools every woman
should know the expert use of are a
hammer, screwdriver. pair of pliers
and gimlet. Many time a woman
finds the task Of screwing strong
clothes hook into wood too much for
her. In such case if, as a starter she
first bores shallow hole into,the wood
with small gimlet the rest Of the
work will be easy.

the Norfolk styles are as popular with
her as the sailor suit.
Box coats, full or three-quarter
lengths, are made of rougher material
than they were last year.
Buttons figure very largely upon
clothes that girls of all ages wear,
from the tiny tot with great fur but
tons on her coat TO her debutante sis
ter, whose suit has its greatest beauty
spots in them.
Pretty school frocks are made with
the French waist. These bodices are
double breasted, with yokes of red
silk, and are finished with red soutache
braid and narrow knife plaitings. The
skirts are side plated, with a deep
hem stitched several times with red.
Scarlet rubberized satin Is a conspic-
uous shade among the best rain coats.
while bright blue, tan and brown are
more fashionable than black or navy
blue. Plaids in silk and wool or all
silk with rubber foundations are made
up In host Of striking styles.
Among the new models is Rom
ney" frock in the new blue. The short
skirt has few graduated tucks on the
bottom, differing in width and group
Ing. The top is gathered into a wide
shaped girdle fashioned exactly after
the style seen In Romney pictures and
finished at the back with butterfly
ends
Jaunty little hats with tam" crowns
have sea gulls' wings at the left side.
The bandeau is covered with narrow
ribbon crossing at the back and the
two ends falling in sailor fashion over
the hair.
The hat Illustrated Is a simple model
carried out in tan beaver trimmed
with huge brown velvet bow.

waists are made with tucks or box
plaits, and sometimes a yoke is added.
trimmed with buttons.
Roman plaid waists are affected by
the schoolgirl, and they are particular
ly youthful trimmed with large, round
brass buttons and worn with four-in-
hand silk ties. These waists have
bloused fronts and are absolutely plain
with the exception of the buttons.
They fasten in front. of course.
Among the furs to be fashionable this
winter are astrakhan, bear, chlnchilla
and what is known as sable in the less
expensive varieties, while sable, lynx
and mink will be worn by women
whose pocketbooks can stand the
strain
There are two new styles in muffs.
the half round model and the fat muff,
the latter being a trifle smaller than it
was last season.
The new fashions shown in boas and
Bcarfs have wide pointed ends that
give them the appearance Of being tied
in bow when fastened. When hung
straight around the throat they reach
TO the bust line and gradually widen
from the base of the neck.
This pretty wee girls gown Is of
blue serge. The braid is black and
white and the tie black silk drawn

royal purple and sage green. Neither
color is universally becoming. but 1t is
to be feared that this will make little
difference. Only the wise woman
studies the effect of colors and cllngs
to those which suit her coloring. The
reign of a particular color does not
trouble her at ALL
For short walking skirts that demand
distinct nare at the bottom silk pet
ticoats cut to provide this fullness are
in order, but often the cut of the outer
skirt, whether the model is plated in
soft material or gored in firmer stuff,
affords the desired flare, and little is
left to the petticoat
No Frenchwoman would think of
buying ready made petticoat and
wearing 1t just as she finds it. The
cumbersome drawstring at the back
must be done away with, and snug
fitting walstband takes its place. The
skirt must be fitted smoothly over the
hips and abdomen. Just what shall be
done with the back fullness depends
upon the figure of the wearer.
The bodice pictured is a smart winter
model that carries with 1t some of the
bolero characteristics, but Is fitted into
the waist line. The sleeves are very
pretty and odd. JUDO CHOLLET.

Consumers Of fruits and vegetables
In large cities are charged high prices
by the huchsters and grocers. In Chi
cago peaches are selling retail for thir-
ty-five or forty cents for small basket
containing about twenty to twenty five
peaches: other fruits and vegetables in
proportion. 1t would be interesting to
farmers to know just how much Of this
Is booked as profits. Farmers get no
such prices; in fact they are lucky II
they get one-third Of the prices now
prevailing In Chicago. Either some
class Of handlers is making exo-bitant
profits or there is an unnecessary ex-
pense attached to the business Of dis
tribution. 1t costs money to handle
produce. 1t requires storage horses
and men, and none Of these things are
cheap in the city, but there Is no good
reason why the consumer should pay
three hundred per cent profit on what
the farmers sell.-Farm, Field and
Fireside.

A SDlendfd Wheat Cron.

The annual crop and business report
of the Commercial National Bank Of
Chicago, covering the Mississippi Val
ley, and few of the more important
States Of the Pacific coast, says, in
part:
"The wheat crop of 1906 will be
among the largest and best ever pro-
duced. The yield not only will be
great, but the weight and quality will
be far beyond the ordinary. In these
respects 1t may be considered nearly
perfect The period Of uncertainty is
closing rapidly and the crop may now
be called practically out of danger.
The yield Of soft winter wheat is large
quality the finest and movement free
Inasmuch as this movement has begun
early and all grains are now nearly or
quite on an export basis with the ten
dency Of prices downward), a large ex-
port business may be expected"

Water Needed by Corn.

Much interest has lately been mani
tested in determining the exact amount
Of water required for the growth OF
plants. This is just as important In
the east as in the irrigated region, for
we often have droughtS which made
necessary the most careful cultivation
to prevent plants from suffering. Pro
fessor Clothier has found that after
corn becomes two feet high each stalk
uses up three pounds of water day
until the ears mature. This is equva
lent to an inch Of rain week. In
regions where the average rainfall IS
lower. and where good, milky quality
of sweet corn is desired In the garden
during August and September, it is OBJ
vously necessary to have the soil in
the most perfect state Of cultivation so
as to retain as much moisture as Is
needed.

The ROhher Cow.

Two COWS cost $40 each year for
keep. One of them yields 1000 quarts
of milk a year, that bring $50. The
other yields 100 quarts, that bring
S26. The latter loses about $14 and
reduces the gain on the former from
SIG to So Why do you keep that Loo
quart COW? You would be better off with
the one that clears SIG. for you would
have only half the investment, half the
work and half the feeding, and you
would gain $l4 each year.
There would be no surplus butter on
the market for years to come anu
prices would rule strong II all the
cows were eliminated which are kept
at loss Dairy farmers have not yet
half walked up to an understanding OF
the great practical Importance of weed
ing out the Improbable COWS from their
herds. Many man would make fair
profit, that now faces constant loss, II
he would keep only such cows as pay
profit on their keep.

The Farm TOOIhOUse,

No building on the farm pays better
than good Toulouse. 1t should be so
no excuse for leaving farm implements
exposed to the weather when not In
use. Properly cared for, many imple-
ments that now last only few years
ought to he serviceable as long as the
farmer lives to need them. Besides, a
tool that has not been rusted, warped
and cracked by exposure will work as
we'll the second and third year Of use
as the first. On many farms the tools
are so much injured by being left out
Of doors that after the first season they
cost more for repairs than they save
in labor.
