Mr.. 1mbach has examined several

Yellows and with Black Knot, the two
diseases which are most prevalent in
this section. In most cases the OWL

For Children on SUNDAY.

The following questions have been
asked Madame Merri: What do you
think about children having guests on
Sunday, and what can you suggest to
amuse little folks in the hour before
supper?
1t is not a bad idea to let the chill
Gren ask a guest or two occasionally
to share their Sunday pleasures and
the pleasant tea afterward, but as
rule 1t is better to keep the day sacred
to the family, for in most families it is
generally the only day parents really
have time to devote to their children.
l heard father say once that he did
not know how he would ever get ac.
quainted with his little boy and girl if
the wise Lord had not provided Sun
day.

An Advice Shower.

Quite the newest thing for the bride
elect is the advice" shower. Not
that the fair young creature is sup
posed to profit by it, not in the least,
Tor she, like the rest of us, must learn
by hard, cold experience. Such an
AFFAIR was given recently: it was a
luncheon and the young woman was
the guest of honor.
The hostess sent with the invitation
Slips of gray paper of a uniform size,
with the request to write bit of ad-
vice FOR the benefit of Miss B.
All the guests were married-young
matrons of about a year-and all sure
that they knew just the proper way of
managing John" "Jim," and Sam"
IN exactly the very best way.
When all were at the table, which
was done in pink chrysanthemums
with a great fluffy mum" at each
place, the guests were asked to read
the quotations on their cards. which
all saVored of love and good wishes
1or the honored guest. Then. when the
coffee was brought in the hostess
asked the guests to read in turn the
advice which they had brought. These
selections were exceedingly clever,
and kept the party in gales OF laugh.
ter They were all given to the bride
after having been slipped into a dainty
cover of fooled leather made for the
purpose.
One bride Of six months had writ
ten. Never offer to mend your hus-
bands clothes or press his trousers;
If you do he will soon be asking YOU
to make over his whole dress suit"
Another one said: Always play the
part of the clinging vine, for it makes
husband act the part of the sturdy
oak One matron, quick with her
pen and wits, had written a set of
The Wife's Ten Commandments.
The Shalt nots" were roundIy ap.
plauded.

Attractions in Collars.

Dainty turnover collars were never
more popular. Although they are
seen in all varieties, perhaps the most
attractive are the hand made. The
person who is handy with the needle
may we'll exhibit her skill, for all
sorts of designs in needlework are en-
ployed on these turnovers. WaIla-
chian is still popular as is also the
English eyelet Either alone or in
combination with the solid embroidery
furnishes multitude of designs. Col
lars designed in sage green, dull blue or
golden brown cotton are worn with a
tie corresponding in color. Many very
elaborate collars can be made for the
small sum of 35 cents, and often much
less, and very becoming and attrac-
tive.

Seasons Styles Are
Bemoaned by Some

Some of the recently imported cloth
costumes for visiting are giving great
delight to stout women, but fiat chest
ed, long limbed women groan inward
ly when they see them, for the pow
ers at Paris and Vienna are devotinG
their talents to the emphasizing of
elongated effects, cunningly arranging
the seams of the coats and the lines
of the skirts in ways calculated to
decrease the apparent breadth A new
skirt which has this effect and which
is specially in favor with smart
dressers, is the one with a central
front seam.
When bordered cloths are used for
visiting costumes the material is so
cut that the border edges the skirt
bottom, but if serge, English mixture
or plain broadcloth is used most wom-
en- prefer bias bands of cloth put on
to form large squares or points, their
corners emphasized with buttons or
chenille ornaments, to the absolutely
plain skirts on the same model, which
are being made up in lighter materials
for house and dinner gowns.
AS to colors, the dull blues, browns
and grays which are so artistic have
always a host of adherents. Puppies
are very fashionable, and so are
mauves, and there are seen any num-
Der of pomegranate and prune shades,
their dullness relieved with self-col-
ored velvet collars, cuffs, vests and
innumerable ornamental buttons
Blond, one of the new light shades,
is prettiest of all in fine broadcloth,
and most effective when combined
with black velvet or dark brown fur.
One beautiful costume shown lately
is of blond cloth, with tunic skirt
edged with sable, a bodice of cloth
and self-colored lace, and toga
shaped cloak of blond cloth lined with
sable. The same effect may be pro-
duced for much less money by using
squirrel fur stained in sable shades

Children are devoted to pastepots,

Little children always love Bible

The China Wedding.

After 20 years of married life the
china wedding may be celebrated.
About this time the average house
wife welcomes any addition to her
china closet, so there is no question
about appropriate gifts for the oc-
casion.
There is really not much decoration
to be done except to eschew cut glass
and silver as much as possible, using
china in its place.
Doll cups or plates may be used for
almond and bon-bon holders and, If
the purse permits, small cup and
saucer or china spoon, such as may be
found at the Japanese stores, may be
given as souvenirs. The names of the
guests can be written on little china
plates to use as place cards if the af-
fair is dinner or a luncheon.
| heard of one couple who celebrat-
ed this anniversary by giving a Chi
nese party. The house was decorated
with lanterns, they wore costumes
made from gay Chinese cotton crepe,
and rice was served with chop sticks.
A regular Chinese supper was served,
the viands having been purchased
from reliable chop suey place. This
was a jolly, informal affair, hugely
enjoyed by all fortunate enough to be
present. Red and yellow, the favorite
colors Of the Chinese, were used in
the decorations, and Joss" sticks were
burned. These so-called joss sticks
were only the long incense sticks with
which we are wont to fight mosquitoes
in the summer time.

Lemon juice and sugar will clear
the voice. Singers often eat an apple
just before singing, as this helps also
to clear thhe voice.
Buttermilk used as a wash or made
into paste with talcum powder will
both prevent and cure sunburn and
hot water comes into play here also,
as it must be used when cold water
would only set the burn.
Next to water, perhaps the best fluid
complexion maker is lemon juice.
Taken internally, alone or with hot
water, it is generally beneficial; and,
externally, cut in half and the lemon,
rind and all, rubbed over the face, it
remedies sunburn and light freckles
Women who want to be beautiful
must pay attention to their diet
Buckets of lotions, pounds of creams
and skin foods, boxes of flesh brushes
complexion rollers, soaps-nothing
can produce the slightest effect in
helping to give the right color and
glow to the complexion that has been
spoiled by improper food.
Did you ever notice how American
women are beginning to take on flesh
after they reach the age of 30? The
slender, aristocratic type of middle
age seems - be disappearing and

Not kimonos.

Giddy as those most intimate gar
ments designed to electrify the privacy
of woman's own boudoir are the new
evening coats. They look exactly like
kimonos. A whole menagerie of gold
dragons and purple lizards and green
snakes crawl up the back and down
the sleeves of these oriental wraps,
which are made of silks and satins, in
loose Chinese cuts, in black, buff, or
ange green, blue or white. A theater-
going crowd so arrayed will bear the
aspect of fancy dress ball.

times edged with a wide silk or mo-

plain circular model also promises to
be in vogue.

Velvet Medaitions.

The making of the velvet medallion
is Il thing which a woman should un.
derstand if she is going to do her own
dressmaking. The medallion is shaped
like an oval or circle, and is worked
in colored silks, and is used as a skirt
trimming. Half a dozen are placed
around the skirt at regular intervals
and connected with bands of velvet.
NO dressier trimming can be found
for the suit of broadcloth.

so closely to the figure that a strained

when a change of this kind comes to
us-a change so startling, so radical.
so diametrically opposed to every
thing that has gone before it. the
natural psychological process is a
gradation from amused interest,
through reluctant admiration to final
enthusiastic adoption.
l will tell you a little incident that
occurred at the time of it's debut in
Paris. 1t was one night at Durand's.
Half the English-speaking world OF
Paris goes to Durands, and | was of
that half that night. A woman swept
hl -
far end of the salon. There was no
need to ask who she was, and only
the innate good breeding of the wom-
en- lettering over their suppers kept
score OF lorgnettes from being raised
in her direction. Madame Paquin at
any time with her grace and beauty
Is an object of interest to Parisiennes,
but Madam Paquin in a new Paqufn
creation holds an Unsuitable interest
for the world at large. There was no
question that night nor the next day
when all Paris was talking of the
new Paquin skirt-of its vogue or its
beauty. The only question every
French woman was asking herself
was, Can | wear it?-Wiu it be DOS
sible to adapt it to me?"
When | returned from Paris full of
enthusiasm for the new skirt-an en-
thusiasm inspired | frankly confess
not so much by Paquins belief in his
own creation as by the concrete ex-
ample of its effectiveness on the beau
tiful Nine. Paquin-my ardor was CON
siderably dampened by the attitude
of unenlightened and Unappreciative
America.
American women are too self-con-
scious. Now ! have said something
that has been on my mind for long
time. A Frenchwoman will spend
hours on her toilette, and, when she
has finished, her dress is complete
perfect, a part of herself. She dis.
misses it from her mind and is no
more conscious of it than she is of the
gestures of her beautiful white hands
or the inherited vivacity of the Gallic
race that plays over her piquant face
But with us! Are other people wear
ing it?" is the question that indicates
subservient attitude which would
rather clothe itself in inconspicuous
mediocrity than take the risk of being
original
And so when | presented the Pa
quin skirt there were no expressions
of delight over the possibilities un-
limited which it presented as a me-
dunn of individuality for every wom-
an.

A Model Country Home.

We present this week half. tone
cut of one of the best farm homes in
Winnesheik county, the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Johu. Wingate and their
son, Albert. 1t is located in the
western part of Hesper township, and
was completed little over year ago,
at cost of Sc. 0OO 90. As will be
seen from the cut, it is a modern
home in every respect. The house is
piped for gas. has a water works svs-
tenn, with bath, hard wood floors, etc.
The farm consists of $50 acres of some
OF the best land in the county, and
they have lived there for thirty nine
years, enjoying the respect and esteem
OF the community in which they live,
