MAID WEARS PRINCESS APRON.
Is Alike and Yet Unlike the conven-
tional Model

Quite the newest idea In maids
aprons is the Princess model. and this,
as Its name implies. suggests being cut
all In one piece.
As a matter of fact, however. only
the front in the form OF panel and
about four inches OF the lower edge
are cut In one piece, the remaining
portions carrying out the design OF the
conventional models. to which the
panel part is connected by means of
strip OF embroidery insertion. The
material Is gathered at the top and
takes into the belt from the panel
closing in the back without ends.
Shoulder straps OF the insertion
edged with u frll support the apron
from the bib, buttoning to the belt In
the back. Another variation OF this
style has plain front panel, the side
portions gathered into belt at tho
top and hemmed and tucked on the
bottom.
The front Is then Joined with the In.
sertion, while a third, closely follow.
Ing these lines, shows a ruflle, instead
o. the hem and tucks. headed by the
insertion, which, however, does not ex.
tend across the front panel.
This kind Of apron will be worn by
the up.todate waitress and chamber.
maid. They may be bought for from
$3.50 upward. according to quality and
decoration.
For madam's personal attendant the
English lady's maids apron is the pre-.
ferred model. This is like the style
worn by nurses. being very large and
full, with hem Ave inches deep on
the bottom. which in It's turn Is button.
holed in round scallops on the edge.
The apron completely covers the dress.
and is taken into a plain belt with
gathers.
The Commodlous pockets for holding
brushes and other toilet requisites are
hemmed and scalloped on their upper
edges to match the hem.

There is nothing so conducive to a
woman's sslf.respect as to be neatly
and fashionably gloved "a lady Is
known by her shoes and by her
gloves" II is an aphorism that has
stood the test of years.
Many women make the mistake OF
thinking that tight.nttlng glove
causes the hand to look small
Nothing is farther from the truth. A
tight-atting glove makes the hand
bulge in places so that 1t looks III. pro.
portioned. On the other hand. the
glove that is too large gives a slovenly
appearance to the hand Everything
depends on the way the glove Is put
on the first time. The glove which Is
once put on crooked can never be
Strengthened.
1t Is poor economy TO buy bargain
sale gloves except on rare occasions
when you arc sure of their quality.

It Is quite common hlowirdg +,

a very satisfactory method o.
handling pasture with sheep and cot'
tie is practiced In some portions OF
southern Ohio and Indiana, says Farm
and Home. The pasture Is divided
into three fields The cattle are al
lowed to Craze field n until the grass
is rather snort, when they are turned
into field b. and the sheep are turned
into from field c.
This allows the shsep to follow the
cattle and provides for an interval
after the sheep have left before the
cattle are turned onto the pasture
During this time the grass attains con.
siderable growth and the effects Of
the close grazing Of the sheep will
have passed. This method is also
better for the pastures. as It provides
for period Of rest. which Is u"ce6.

Hog Cholera Boots.

A farmer living in the northwest
had herd infected with hog cholera.
He wore a pair of boots among the
sick hogs, which boots should have
been destroyed before any one got a
chance to wear them of the farm.
One day he dressed up and put on the
boots for a visit to the state expert
ment station. He was particularly IN.
terested in hogs. He climbed over
into the different pens and examined
the different sows and their filters. In
due time after his visit the hog chol.
era broke out at the station and many
good animals were lost What was
worse, the experiments In which tho
hogs were playing their part were
badly disarranged.
