The Fashions of the Dav

reminds us furs are among the real
bargains.
A gown of soft wool is fine invest
ment, the sort of dress one has call
for the year round; and cashmeres and
henriettas make up so satisfactorily.
Our model pictures a princess of april
cot-colored cashmere, that delicious
pinky yellow now so beloved; the skirt
falls in softest folds, and is decidedly
long; bolero of lace fastens in the
middle of the front with big bow OF
black velvet drawn through a fancy
buckle, the sleeves are edged with lace
to correspond. If desired, undersleeves
may be worn, perhaps it would be well
to provide a pair and thus vary the
gown as well as make it suitable for
cold day, day when the bare arms
might be rather chilly.
The white shirt waist is worn by ev-
erybody in the mornings, we simply
cannot give up this trim and dainty
garment. Neckwear for the wash-waist
matches, it too is trim and dainty.
Washable stocks of various sorts are
popular, and many linen ones have
handmade turnover collars 1t is to
be hoped women will adhere to wash
able neckwear, it is the only really de-
skrable kind. One reason men look
neater than women after an all-day
downtown is because of their daily
fresh linen, because they display no
soiled f1nery.
We may affect the laundered collar
later on, and again take up the Wind
sor tie, this year there is appearing a
Windsor With embroidered ends. Both
plain and plaid effects are in vogue in
this tie, the favored width is five

and cardinal. For lingerie waists
lingerie stocks. Japanese embroidery
on waists and in neckwear promises to

chemisettes lose no jot of their popu-
larity, but now preference is given
those mace of finest batiste rather
than all-over embroidery and lace
frills.
Bits of silk picked UP at to-day'E
bargain counters may be saved for the
gray wolfe spring gown, for Powered
silks go so prettily with certain soft
tones of gray, and the combination is
the extreme of style. Apricot cloth
makes a lovely evening wrap, and the
trimming to use for such wrap is
heavy lace. Not a few of the wraps
are made without sleeves, just big
capes, not unlike those we see in Old
fashioned fashion plates.

A GOOD HEN HOUSE.

sort on a farm are an eyesore and
are entirely inexcusable. It is unfor-
tunate when any farmer is not
"kandy" with tools. He is at a con-
tinual disadvantage. He must hire 9th
ers to do what he might do, or else he
is compelled to slam-bang at things
himself. So, when / speak of an in
expensive hen house, writes an Ohio
correspondent Of the Ohio Farmer,
do not mean an RECONSTRUCTED one, or
an untidy one. 1t may be neat and
convenient and yet not costly.
The best sort of a house is one that
has roosting room that is warm and
well-lighted and scratching shed ad.
joining it. The accompanying sketch
gives an illustration of such house
1t us easily built, economical, conven-
lent and it looks well. For ordinary
purposes on farm a building of this
sort 20 feet long and eight feet wide
will be large enough. This should be
divided equally into roosting room and
scratching shed. The front should be
to the south il possible, and the
scratching part can be left open in
front or covered with poultry netting.
In order to keep the fowls from wan
dering about in the snow and being
exposed to cold winds it is best to have
the netting in front. Of course this
shed can be boarded up the same as
the roosting room if one so prefers it,
but in most cases the open shed is
preferable. It affords plenty of sun
light for the fowls to battle in and it
are two important items in the econ
omy of chickendom. This open shed
should be kept well supplied with
straw for the fowls to scratch in for
the grain that has been scattered in
it. This scratching gives them plenty
of exercise in the sunlight and in good
air without exposure to winds and
storms. 1t is a necessity where the
flock is kept for winter egg production.
1t promotes health and vigor and en-.
courages the laying habit. All the dry
grains should be fed here. Wheat,
oats, barley and cracked corn make al
excellent combination Tor the purpose.
Matched siding is the best to use,
but one can use cheaper material and
batten it thoroughly. Whatever the
siding is the inside of the roosting
apartment should be covered with sim
gle-ply tar paper. 1t is usually called
builders felt, and is used extensively
in house building. If it is put on in a
careful way it will add greatly to the
warmth of the house, and it is mex
pensive. The three-ply tar paper will
do for the roofing. But there is one
caution which needs to be made in re-
gard to it, and that is that it should
be painted as soon as it is put on and
should be painted several times until
an enamel forms on it. The failures
that most people make with this roof
ing are the result of negligence in this
one thing. 1t is allowed to go for
months without any paint, and then
the painting is not done often enough
to secure a hard and enduring surface.
I have such roofing that has been on
hen houses for five years, and is as
good to-day, apparently, as it was at
the start.

She Still Retains Her Figure

and her majesty has few of those odd
soft looking bags which are found at the
tip of every chin and in the front of every
throat-the brisket bags which are al
ways present in middle age.
A dozen women of middle age were all
looking at their threats the other day.
With collar off they were trying to see
if the throat was pretty. All were over

A woman said to me the other day
to be sure it was hairdresser-let
woman look to her hair dressing and
her hat and she need not worry. And
there is no little truth in the state
ment, though few there be Of us that
seem to profit by knowledge Of the
fact.
This year especially the couture is
something not to be neglected, and
every woman should pay careful atten-
ton to this item-climax, rather-of
dress. While there is no one style
which may be said absolutely to rule,
yet there are certain things modish,
certain others not. It is all very well
to assert that a woman should not
observe changing fashions in hair
dressing, that she should keep to one
style that has been found becoming:
she should certainly never go in for
fashion that is not becoming to her
individual face and form, but she may
adopt certain little changes that will
bespeak attention to the mode. AS for
instance, this season for full dress she
may add some form of ornament to
her cO1Hure.
AS a rule the hair ornaments are
modest and pretty rather than obtru-
sive, though over in Paris they have
gone in for long egrets and even birds
of paradise feathers. A soft low POM
pom is decorative and becoming, also
the single rose, and also the cluster
of small blossoms. Sometimes from
the half wreath there will arise at one
side a short ostrich feather, some
times the wreath will terminate in but
terfly bows. The single ostrich tip has
been worn by generations of women,
and is again in vogue; it is a sort of
regal touch to the toilette. suggests
court receptions, queens drawing
room--though worn by very humble
little girl at her first dance. The lace
and jeweled butterfly has also had
long life, just why we cannot say.
