The varied assortment of beaded
designs is divided into two definite
classes.
For example, the bags designed In
quaint rustic landscapes are copied
from genuine antique examples.
The large, dashing florals, conven-
tional patterns and the art nouveau
designs are totally different from the.
French flower baskets with posies, the
rustic landscapes, the medallion heads
after Romney and Gainsborough.
While manufacturers have resurrected
antique designs. they have not been,
idle creating styles following the pres
ent mode of decoration.
All manner of purses, card cases.
and wrist bags with their long. slender
chains are found in bead patterns,
florals or conventional treatment. The
horals are exquisitely done in natural
colors, besides the fashionable hues
of the season, so that the color of
ones gown or hat may be easily
matched. There is much favor being
shown to Pompadour roses, besides
the little, dainty Vatican patterns.

The backgrounds for all beaded
purses and bags are mostly light in
comparison to the pattern itself.
Elaborate effects are shown in the

Conventional designs Of graceful

Dainty Evenino To!Iettes.

Transparent fabrics are having
greater vogue than ever for dinner
and reception toilettas, as well as for
dance dresses, and when mounted over
foundations of shimmering silk or sat
in they acquire peculiar charm which
is not to be found in more substantial
fabrics. AS a rule, these are sold in
the form Of robes with the skirts
ready shaped for mounting, and with
sufficient material for trimming bod
ice en- suite, and the spangles or ap-
pliques are specially arranged to form
a handsome border round the skirt,
where the design is seen to the best
advantage, and all that remains to be
done is to mount the skirt in a suit
able manner with plenty Of foot frills
to hold 1t out at the hem, and to de-
sign an appropriate bodice. which will

STUMBLING HORSES.
Why They Acquire the Habit and How
to Cure Them.

Some horses are naturally addicted
to stumbling, others acquire the fault,
and still others have the stumbling
habit thrust upon them, says an ex-
change. In the first, it is almost in
durable, but the second and third
causes can be remedied by the rider or
driver. If the ground is rough or un-
even, horses with a low action are
prone to stumble. Other horses which
are naturally slip-shod, generally STUN
BILE because they do not lift their feet
high enough from the ground. Lazi-
ness Is another cause for stumbling.
and horses that are heavy in front or
whose fore legs are weak or unsound,
have the same fault. Very often care
lessness on the part of the driver
causes horses to stumble. This makes
it necessary always to bear in mind
the value of keeping the horses well
In hand and sufficiently collected If
the habit Is due to laziness 1t can
often be cured by riding or driving the
horse over rough ground until he has
been broken Of the fault But in all
cases the cure rests with the driver
or rider. The most sure-footed Of
horses is bound to stumble at times,
but this can be reduced to minimum
by keeping tight rein. A slack rein
is often the sole cause for stumbling.
II fatigue is the cause, extra care
must be taken to keep the horse well
up to the bit. No good horseman will
ever take chances of his horse STUN
bling by allowing slack rein. Stun
bling is not only an annoying habit,
but it often results in serious injury
and many times in the total disability
of the animal While an habitual ten
dency to stumble often does not ad-

prevented by the methods suggested
above. }t

NEW IDEA FROM PARIS.
Striped Jackets Are to Be Worn with
Plain Skirts.

A striking yet really practical adap-
tation of striped materials has just
been introduced by Paquin as his lat
est Partisan novelty In suits. Last
season, indeed, more or less for many
seasons. we have been accustomed to
the plaid skirt and plain jacket. bvt
this spring the noted Frenchman has
reversed the order of things and has
introduced striped jacket to be worn
with plain skirts.
Not often has such decided nov.
city as this the merit of being prac-
tical for the woman who cannot afford
to change her suits often, but this new
style Is specially useful to just such
persons. There are comparatively
few girls or women who have not In

wear with this a material not too
much of contrast. which has a tiny
stripe. and has 1t made up either as

not only very good style. but is most
useful for cool or damp days through
the entire summer.

GROWING GOOD BEEF.
II 10 Possible for the Small Farm to
Produce IL.

1t is possible to produce good beef
on small farm, and much of the beef
Of the future will be thus produced.
The demand for beef will never be
less than 1t Is at the present time, but
the great ranges on which the beef of
the past has been produced must grow
smaller as the land is brought under
irrigation. Great projects are under
way for iddigating vast stretches Of
land that before now have been the
feeding ground Of cattle. How mucn
OF the ranges are to be eaten up in
this way we do not know at this time.
II means that the price of the best
beeves must advance and that these
will largely be raised on small farms
and be almost by-product. To pro-
duce this good beef, says Farmers
Review, the farmer will need but make
sure that the animal he is raising for
beef is high grade of some one of
the beef breeds. Some of the really
good beef made now Is being produced
on the farms in the middle West,
where only few beef animals are
kept per farm. The beef steer is prov
ing to be side issue with many of
our farmers. but side issue that
yields annually good profit.
