LACE Wells COST SMALL FORTUNES.
Lace wells in all possible styles and at all i'm
agnabe prices are in vogue this summer, Many
of the real lace wells are beautiful and would
dress any hat effectively but among the better
grades of machine laces are to be found some
excellent wells. Either black or white is most
generally seen, but dyed laces of all colorings are
to be had A light coffee color or ecru is gem
orally more becoming than the plain white In
light mourning a lace veil is correct, but crepe
bordered lace wells seem sngularly inappropriate,

1t should be worn with the ends caught up on
the hat, but it must not be strained tightly
across the face as a mesh veil is worn.
Many stunning lace wells are seen in brown
chantilly and rose point
Partisan women are wearing the lace wells ar
ranged in soft cascades that extend nearly to or
below the waist. Such pretentious style war
rants an equally dressy toilette, too much so for
the average woman to adopt.
ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENT OF Wells.
How many women realize how much of her
good looks is marred or made by the graceful ar
rangement of her veilY
Mighty few when one takes bird's.eye view
of the usual everyday gathering of women. The
veil must balance with the wearers height and
be in accordance with her individual gowning.

E7OT in many seasons has the veil had
~ such undisputed sway IN the world OF
fashion.
SseeazasS 1t is just as important an adjunct
to Madames toilettes as her hat or

those women who persist in wearing colored wells
of lively hue and of fanciful arrangement when
they should have left them alone A veil has
had the effrontery to caricature more than one.
Certain wells will only become certain features,
just as certain models in gowns will become GER
tain figures, and while no hard and fast rules
can be laid down in regard to the selection of
veil, there are certain rules for the guidance of
would-be purchasers that may be worth observ-
ing. For instance, the large, open mesh, dotted
with bold black velvet discs set far apart, that
is SO becoming to the tall, large blonde or the
brunette with vivid coloring and striking feat
ures, is actually grotesque worn by small
man with delicate, nondescript eyes and COM
plexion. For her. there is the fine mesh black
and closely dotted with small black spots, or
an equally fine background in white showing
dainty traceries in black following a small de-
sign. For the middle-aged womanewhose hair is
just turning and whose skin and eyes are show
ing the same ravages of time, this veil is par ex-
cellence, imparting delicacy to the features and
taking the whole responsibility for the faded hair,
blending rather than contrasting with it,
VOGUE OF LONG Wells.
Wells this summer have been unusually long,
but in most cases are worn hanging loose from
the hat. Many are so arranged that they tie
under the chin and SO adjusted ON the hat that
lay close against the face
This style is not altogether comfortable in
summer, but will be much worn for autumn.
Large square wells are used for country wear,
and are usually tied in front under the chin.
Very long mortor wells have disappeared, the
ends had a persistent way of floating out and
covering yours or somebody elses face. Those
worn today by smart women are long enough to

The little republic of Switzerland
exports twice as much stuff to the
United States as the United States
does to Switzerland. The Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor reports
that the trade between the two repub-
lies during the latest period for which
data was available was in excess Of
$4,000, 900. This amount is mat.
up of about 20.4 millions of dollars
worth of goods imported into the
United States from Switzerland, and
1913 millions of dollars worth i'm
ported into Switzerland from It's
country. The six main items OF
American exports to Switzerland are
raw cotton, petroleum, unmanufac-
tured tobacco, leather, lard and meat.
The combined value OF these articles
for the calendar year 1904 constitu-
ting three-fourths of the total Swiss
imports from this country, viz; 7.6
million dollars out Of a total Of 1913
millions.

Bacteria, microscopic wigglers. are
fast coming to the front as the farm
er's best friends. Already they catch
nitrogen to fertilize the soil; they

not far distant, it is claimed, when

the scientists next discover a fighting

A. D. Noyes, in The Atlantic. If it
were discovered that credit had been
employed prudently and conserva-

discouraged, and that the community

speculation, there would then exist
that reasonable ground for arguing
that the experience of past CONNER

hardly be alleged that the past five
years have presented any such pic

built upon it even surpassed In mag

the sort that the world had previously
witnessed.

To the question whether small
farms or large ones are best. it nigh.
be replied, Both" The farmer who
has real business talent and suficien
capital can make more money by dc
ing a large business. 1t is a questio
of the man, not the farm. There al
in New England a few men who a
farm several hundred acres on busl-
ness principles with the same atten-
ton to detail and the same enterprise
and shrewd planning that is employed
by the manufacturer in running hii
mill or by the merchant in conducting
his store. There Is no reason why
such men cannot make a large farm
pay. But for the 1000-acre ma
shere are a thousand 100-acre mel
md ten thousands of forty-acre men.
IN a small farm the owner can do Il
safe business and get along without
much hired help. On a large farm hs
must have enterprise, business push
and managing ability, and must
hustle to keep the bills paid. Prac-
tically, the young farmer will take
the safer course who begins with a
small area and a small business aud
develops 1t to the best of his ability.
The size limit will presently take care
of itself.
