OF an oversleeve, many of them being
slashed up the outside to show the
beauties of the undersleeve which is

of this outer sleeve and hold them In

handsome buttons.

Grass Ionic for Horses.

A famous veterinary surgeon de-
clares that grass beats all the drugs
In creation as cure for sick horses
and mules. Horses should have few
quarts of grass daily, from spring un-
til fall, he says. The prevalent notion
that it Is harmful is idiotic and cruel.
Grass to horses is the same as fresh
vegetables and fruit to us Their crav-
ing fon it proves their need of 1t. Yet,
ignorant, unfeeling drivers yank them
away from 1t as If it were poison In.
stead of the life-giving medicine it is,
designed by their Maker for them
When they gnaw the bark of trees or
eat leaves it is because they crave
grass and can't get it. Millions of
bushels of grass go to waste yearly by
the wayside which should be utilized
for our noble, faithful, helpless, dumb
servant, the horse, thus making him
healthy and happy.

NEW IDEA IN SHIRT WAISTS.
Complete Garment Easily Made from
TWO Handkerchiefs.

Since the first inventive genius
turned in the four corners of hand
kerchief and made dainty decoration
almost every article produced by a
finger agile at needlework has at one
time or another joined the list of hand
kerchief-made articles.
The latest recruit is complete
shirt waist, and the directions are
very simple: Cut the two handker-
chiefs in four triangles by laying two
opposite corners together. Join these
four pieces together with valen-
ciennes lace insertion, making large
square. Now make short yoke of
the insertion, using about five or six
rows, and join the handkerchief to it.
Use two stripes of insertion on the
side of the handkerchief and join the
material you are using. Cut out to
fit. Make back and sleeves like those
of any other waists. Finish neck and
sleeves with insertion and edge.

to waste a good many dollars, says a
losing hay like that | don't believe
could sleep nights.
1t suggested the folly of feeding
roughness of any kind so that stock
can pull 1t down and waste it. The
open manger is an abomination. The
oldtime rack Is no better. With
either the stock are free to waste as
much as they feel like, and there are
some horses and cattle which seem
to take JOY in pulling or throwing
out their feed. The best feeding con-
trivance for hay that | have ever
seen was made as shown in the IL
Illustrations. There is never any
waste here. The greatest objection
had to it was that in feeding corn
the stalks would pile up and have to
be carried out.
The other thing suggested was
the folly of mans working hard and
caving and scrimping generally while
he allows a few extravagances and
carelessness to rob him of a large
part OF the fruits of his labors. Three
or four hours work and few feet of
lumber would have fixed those man
gers so the horses could not waste
their hay, and the whole cost Of the
job would have been paid back in
two or three weeks. Most of us have
some cherished folly like this which
we cling to. and which. perhaps, we
are so used to that we are uncon-
scious Of it. If man works faithful
ly he should get ahead in the world,
not very rapidly, perhaps. but percep-
tibly. If he does not, IL may be the
fault of circumstances, but more often
1t is his own.

Finger bowls are sometimes passed

General Adoption of the Guimpe Dress

Fall Costumes.

Fashion seems to have gone mad
in the many developments of fancy
sleeves that are seen on the up-to-date
frock. Never were there so many be-
wildering varieties; the general adop.
ton OF the guimpe dress is largely re-.
sponsible for this.
To-day, almost without exception,
dresses and separate blouses are made
with the guimpe and the more elabo-
rate the sleeve the smarter the gown.
