Great Timber Lands.

Of this timber runs as high as 10, 900 900

Many specimens of the swastika were dug

Bordered Wells Make Women Look
Old

Bordered wells should be approached
with caution. They are not exactly I'M
becoming, but they add to ones age,
most undesirable quality. To middle
aged woman they are quite becoming as
hat drapery. In arranging one over
the hat the border should be gracefully
draped above the face, and light deco
ration will be more becoming than heavy
one.
Women in middle life who possess small
features should choose a fine mesh IN
black or black and white, preferably
lines to dots. barge dots should be strict
ly avoided.
Gray wells are not becoming, though
some authorities claim they are by rea-
son of their harmonizing with gray hair.
I prefer the same effect brought about
by the threads of black and white.
Such a combination IS more becoming
over the face and the lines of the black on
gray hair are only a pretty contrast and
not as characterless as all gray.
The silver-gray-ha woman with pink
cheeks looks pretty in gray. hat and
a perfectly chosen all-white veil she,
too, can wear the black and-white ef
fects, but unless her toilet is all black
she should not dom a black veil. 1t will
make her look dowdy.
