A REMARKABLE STORM.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: On July
20 last the most severe hailstorm occurred that
was ever known in this region
It was in the late afternoon. and three girls
were with me playing croquet. Suddenly II be-

house from the lawn as fast as possible to
escape the storm. Soon II began 20 hail. the
stones at first being quite small. but rapidly in
creasing until they reached the extraordinary
size Of from three 10 four inches in Circumfer-
enCe.
When the storm had somewhat abated we
went out on the piazzas and picked up the hall
stones by handfus. The lawn so covered
with them that one could hardly the grass
i filled an enormous pitcher with them and put
II in the refrigerator, where they kept for about
three hours after those out OF doors had melted.

Paris, September q.
The vogue for the princess form of gown seems
,oore pronounced than ever, but there is certain
change in the line. The bottom OF the skirt is very
voluminoUs, while the upper Part is close to the

higher over the bust and more drawn in about the
uaist than has been the custom. This does NOT
mean that the corset is a reversion TO the hour-
glass style that il is uncomfortable The straight
front is still preserved. and the ideal corset is made
on such scientific principles that the pressure is
removed from the ribs and is felt only at the waist
line However. the new movement is not in the
direction Of comfort.

MY FAITHFUL COLLiES.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: over two
years ago before going West my cousin gave
me a beautiful collie. Her name is Courage We
have also two pups which are now over a year
old. Bruce and Bonnie Jean. They. like their
mother. are very intelligent and affectionate
also faithful watChdogs. Courage is very Jealous
OF any extra attention shown the pups, and TO
snow her dispeasure will start of 10 a neigh
hors house. where they Will pet her and give her
candN. should the pups attempt TO follow her
at such times she VIII drive them back al
though every morning and afternoon she VIII
occasion had chained Bonnie Jean UP and she
broke away. taking the chain with her. We
heard them barking some distance from the
house, but took little notice until Courage came
home barking loudly all the way. Mamma was
in the garden, the dog made a dash. causing her
70 spill all the peas she had picked and caught
hold OF her dress. | happened at this moment 70
come along, and, feeling that something was
wrong, we allowed the dog 10 lead US over the
ME Jean, almost exhausted. with the chain
wedged in the wall Courage had rolled several
stones away in order to free her. and. finding her
efforts useless, had come home for assistance
The dogs are very valuable in many ways:
our vegetable garden would have been ruined
by the woodChucks If II had not been for them
| have seen Courage kill several woodchucls
and then bury them. She drives the neighbors'
cattle 10 pasture and brings them home at the
use. | could tell you of many other Incidents

Dear Little Men and Little Women: Last
summer we lived in the country on a farm. I
had white hen that very tame. She used
to come to the door and peck on the screen, and
when L opened il she would walk across the
floor, stepping very carefully till she reached a
bureau that stood In one corner of the room
She would look around TO see that no one was
watching and then creep under the bureau. In
rev minutes she would come out. peck the
screen for me TO let her out, and then cackle
very loudly. I would reach under the bureau
and find beautiful white egg one day she
did not come out and l wondered what was the
trouble. and mamma said she wanted 10 sit
Mamma put her in box. with some eggs under
her and set the box in the barn. In Just three
weeks twelve doWny little chickens Matched out
and the mother hen very proud Of them
