other is Of musquash trimmed with
dull gold gallon and ecru lace. Both
styles might be admirably copied in
cloth or in velvet or velveteen, whose
popularity for costumes for outdoor
wear grows ever and always. And, by
the way, some of the latest very smart
short walking costumes are made of
finely striped velvet trimmed with
silk braid.
A novelty which deserves mention
is a white cloth blouse covered with
an embroidery in silk and chenille,
other woolen blouses are of fine can
vas, and others, again, of cashmere,
but on the score of economy none of
these can be cordially commended, for
they suffer very severely from a visit
to the laundress or cleaner, usually
turning yellow, and the blouse made
in shirt style of white China silk may
be relied upon for greater durability.
The latest cry in hats is the fur cap.
It's most popular trimming is a glisten-
ing green bird at one side; other dec
orations are rosettes of dull gold,
small round lunches of flowers, or a
waving paradise plume Amongst the
best and most unusual examples that
l have seen is one of black fox with
a crown of black tulle and a decora.
tion of aggressive green wings at one
side This, worn by a girl with plen.
tiful mass of dull red hair, is specially
successful.

an original and effective costume in
dark green cloth. 1t is made in
princess form. the slightly draped
folds of the corsage being apparent

lovely? We are going to Blarritz on

Green for Weddings

Green Is one Of the favorite colors
of the moment. 1t has been the pre-
dominating tint at several smart we'd
dings lately, and one brlde-an earl's
daughter-had her white bridal gown
embroidered round the hem and her
net veil bordered with green myrtle
leaves.
The veil was Of a deep cream, al
most indeed, a coffee color. This is a
novel departure iG wells, though sew
eral brides have had touches Of deli
cate green introduced on their we'd
ding robes.
White ostrich boas are likely TO
come prominently into favor shortly,
and the demand for them from diapers
who look 50 far ahead as next spring,
has been very great. Big ostrich
feathers, too, promise to be the feature
of next springs hats, just as they
have been the thing" this summer.
Already there are prophecies that the
prices for them will be something
awful"

is the kitchen sink is one OF the
greatest labor savers a woman can
have and bath is no longer consid-
cred a luxury but It is an absolute
necessity, If good health is taken into
consideration. Good health is neces-
sary for most persons but n good
many seem to get along through the
greater part of their lives in a sick,
ly half discouraged manner and these
are the very ones who consider bath
ing unnecessary. A round wooden
tank placed over the kitchen costs
but triAe OF what it is really worth.
Rain water from the upper roof will
keep IL supplied and a charcoal filter
will fit the water for drinking pur-
poses If so desired. The water should
pass through the filter before enter
ing the tank and the tank should be
cleansed at least once a year.
Another saving in expense in this
house is starting the chimneys from
brackets six feet above the floor. This
makes a short chimney and a light
one that may be supported without
heavy timbers. There is but little
brick and mortar and the job Of build
ing the chimneys is a short one It
will be noticed that this plan offers
plenty of light and ventilation for
every room in the house and 1t pro-
vides for a good big convenient
kitchen.
The size of this house is % feet
wide by AZ feet exclusive of the porch.
The main part OF the house is only
22 by 30 feet The 70 by IA extension
being small and only one story high
adds but little to the cost and the
convenience Of having the kitchen ar
ranged In this way is worth a great
deal. II will be noticed that while
there are only two bedrooms the two
alcoves will furnish sleeping quar-.
ters for the children and the arrange
ment Is a good one for a young cou.
pie while the children are small. This
plan offers an inducement TO own a
home when starting out in married
life instead of waiting until sufficient
funds are saved 10 build a more ex.
pensive habitation.
II is difficult to estimate the cost
of building because materials vary
so much in price in different parts
Of the country, but under ordinary cir.
cumstances this house should be built,
as shown in the plans, for about
81 600. II certainly is a good look
ing house for that amount OF money.

In addition. there are to be frequent In
spection by agents detailed by the Treas

absolutely without warning. and to be
complete IN every detail.
Ia the matter Of inspections, years often
elapsed between the visits of government
agents. In the case at Chicago there was
no inspection Of the accounts usually
until a transfer Of the Office by one sub
treasurer TO another occurred. The word
Of the sabtreasureT and his reports were
accepted as sufficient. When Nj Will
Jams was subtreasureT his accounts al
ways balanced and gave no evidence Of a
need OF examination. But hereafter,
whether a subTeasureT is a good official
or not, he will find a Treasury agent
swooping down upon him and calling for
the production of his books anG cash.
