NEW TOUCHES FOR elRpLEs.
Small Details That Will Be Found to
Prove Charming Additions.

Nearly every modiste has ideas OF
her own with reference to girdles and
belts, which she develops as occasion
offers, and while there Is no very great
latitude possible with the ordinary
frock, still many small details may be
used that give original touches to
the costume and prove charming ad-
ditions.
For example, one clever foreign
modiste takes two or three rings COW
cred with heavy silk. buttonholed
around the edges. and through these
the ribbons or folds Of the material
are drawn in various combinations.
Another girdle Of ribbon by the
same modIste has for lowered mus.
lin or silk frocks cluster OF blossoms
matching some Of those in the dress
drawn loosely through knot in the
girdle. In this case the knot should
be at the center front or to one side
OF It.
A young girl, for whom this dress
maker made an organdie lawn party
frock in white with blackberry bios
SONS and leaves in lavender and pink.
had a cluster of white berry blossoms
and a cluster of unripe berries pulled
through the white silk sash drawn
high at the left side, and her large
white leghorn hat was trimmed with
trails Of berry vines showing the
white flowers and also now and then
unripe green berries and an occa'
sional purple one.

MOTHER AND CHILD

The value Of this famous food 10

what might be expected from Its chem
zeal analysis.
Grape.Nuts food Is made OF whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these CO
reals.
It contains also the phosphate OF
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more OF this element because the
brain and nervous system Of the child
grows SO rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value OF
Grape Nuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
After my baby came I did not re-
cover health and strength. and the
doctor said l could not nurse the baby
as did not have nourishment for her,
besides was too weak.
HE said I might try a change OF
diet and see what that would do. and
recommended Grape-Nuts food.

WAYS TO ARRANGE FLOWERS.
Good Idea IL to Follow Mature 40
Closely as Possible.

II is well to remember that all
flowers look better for loosening up
trifle and few look we'll packed tightly
together. One of the safe rules to fol-
low Is to heed the. natural growth OF
the flower whenever possible. Flowers
that grow In thick clusters are GER
lain to look well in masses, while
those that grow singly and far apart
should not be crowded. The OBJECT
should always be TO bring out the
whole beauty Of the flowers and to let
everything else be secondary to that.
Chrysanthemums and sweet peas
are examples OF the few flowers that
do not need foliage as a relief. Nearly
all others look far better amid green
leaves. A trailing green vine Is often
lust the touch that is needed to soften
stiff arrangement. Asparagus fern
Is an airy, feathery green. suitable
only for fragile and delicate flowers In
loose arrangement. Wood sorrel has
delicate leaves that look well with
sweet peas and other small flowers,
hut as a rule q flowers own foliage
suits II best
The vases used play an important
part in the success Of flower arrange
ment. Colorless, transparent vases
are always safe and sometimes abso-
lutely necessary. Bowls are beautiful
for short.stemmed flowers. and the
cheaper variety are sometimes the
best. An ordinary glass fish globe dis
plays the full beauty Of the stems to
far greater advantage than a cut-glass
rose bowl. The colorless glass olive
bottle, going straight up and down. Is
more to be desired than opaque
vases. which hide decorative stems.
Tall slender vases are suitable Tor
long stemmed flowers. 1t Is said that
the height Of long-stemmed flowers
should be ~ times the height OF the
vase.
Yellow flowers in a dark blue jar
are t. Elective, and brilliant red flowers
look well in the neutral gray jars OF
some of the Japanese ware. The pur'
ple violet finds its richness intensified
in a pale yellow jar. Pansies and
yiolets both look their best in heavy
far. preferably of cylindrical shape.
II Is well not to mix flowers Of DIFF
ferent kinds and different colors. A
cluster of blossoms all presenting the
same hue is usually the most Ell
fectiye arrangement Some flowers
such as a chrysanthemum or q rose
when longs. emmed and handsome
are set on to advantage when q ain
gle flower alone occupies the vase.

Here are some feeding maxims by
Prof. Beach which we are glad to
give space to among the Meadow.
brook Farm Notes: The more food
the cow can be induced to eat, the
more milk she viii produce. Cows do
not usually consume more food than
they can properly digest. The ration,
therefore, should be made as palatable
as possible in order to induce the COW
to eat large quantities. The larger the
amount Of protein in the ration. the
larger the milk flow. Protein In the
ration Is essential to the production OF
the milk. The less energy required to
digest the ration the larger the milk
fow. The richer the ration. the rich
or the manure. The dairy farmer
must look here for q large part Of his
profit. No two cows can be fed alike.
Each must be studied differently. IN
crease the protein In the raGon and
watch the milk dow.
