Mushrooms.

A singular and very interesting and
useful institution has been established
In the little city OF Tarare. near Lyons.
France. IT is a Theological bureau.
where expert judgment Is furnished
concerning mushrooms brought 10 Il
for examination. The country round
Tarare abOunds with mushrooms.
many Of which are poisonous. Since
the establishment Of the bureau no.
body buys mushrooms which do not
carry their ticket of Identification and
guarantee, and all the country people
from miles around bring their mush-
rooms for examination. One surprising
result has been the discovery Of SCORES
OF excellent edible mushrooms, which,
before nobody dared TO touch.

Arranging Veil on Hats.

With the enormously large hats now in vogue, it is really a great art to be able to arrange ones veil becomingly. Indeed, wells are such an important adjunct to the wel-dressed woman's costume, that their influence for A becoming or an at tractive effect has so impressed Dame Fashion that clearly defined rules govern Ting their length. the way they must be worn and their design, have been issued for the season of 190S-09.
 The first great rule is: That they must be wrinkleess over the face. Indeed, the [ less fullness there Is over the hat brim, the better, for under no consideration shall there be a line over the face.
 Tlfe second rule is: That the veil must not be loose and bag at the bottom, for over the chin and mouth, the final effect will be spoiled.
 I doubt if any woman must be told now a-days that the veil must meet down the back from brim to neck, but I wonder how many are aware how seldom they accomplish it?
 It Is not enough to hold down the edges with pin and neither is it correct than the pin shall be half way between the hat and neck The fastening which should be a long bar, as fancy as one chooses, must not be more than an inch above the neck, and the veil edges must meet
 The most successful way of achieving this style of wearing a veil begins by putting a knot in the selvage in the mid dle of the upper edge This gives enough fullness to prevent the nose from being fiattened.
 This edge should then be adjusted to the brim to bring the lower edge di- rectly below the chin. A pin is put into the brim to hold the veil in place at this point and then the lower edges are gathered gracefully around the neck and drawn to the back where they are fastened securely.

NEGRO STUDENTS
 CAUSE A STRIKE

Grand Rapids, Mich, November 20.- Thirty-foyr members of the junior class in the Grand Rapids Veterinary college walked out of their classroom today when two colored students entered to re- sume their studies. Because of the ob- jections of other students the eolored men had been denied admission when they returned to college this year, and they ap- pealed to the courts. Judge Perkins of the Kent county circuit court Tuesday mandamused the college management to admit the two colored students on the ground that the college, being a quasi public institution, had no right to dis criminate against citizens because of their color After today's strike the school au- thorities suspended the junior class. in- cluding the two colored students, until next Tuesday.

Perfumed Chapeaux.

It is from Vienna, that home of ultra smart women, that the dainty idea of perfumed millinery comes. Now, all the best millinery there is floral trimmed and a tube of perfume is supplied with each chapeau. If woman wears a lily of-the-valley trimmed toque her milliner hands her a tube of that perfume; or if her headgear is rose garnitured her mill liner hands her altar of roses. Just a few drops of 1t on the petals of the flowers, just enough to wait a. faint, subtle per fume to the nostrils of those who are near the wearer of the hat.
 This fashion has been the means of in troducing some new perfumes. One woman, a wealthy one, ordered a primrose trimmed toque. There was no perfume made, however to match the delicate, sweet scent of her favorite blossom so she promptly placed an order with a large firm of scent manufacturers and had 'es- sence of primrose' made from her own formula. She had experimented with her pet flowers until she had succeeded in extracting their sweetness.

That Balky Sewing Machine.

It is said that if the machine needle becomes sticky it may be made right again by rubbing the material to be sewn with a bit of laundry soap. It seems to have the effect of an emery. If it would injure the material to treat in this way bit of cloth well soaped?
 Should the material gather when sewn by machine, put piece of brown paper under it. This will keep the needle from catching in the fine threads of the mate rial Of course when the sewing is finished the paper easily pulls away, leav- ing no trace. This is particularly neces- sary knowledge when the material to be sewn is chiffon or voile.

Everybody Is Embroidering a
 Net Blouse.

Nothing in decade of fashion has pre- sented such an economical method of achieving a smart and rich result as the colored hand embroideries and "darning" upon lace or net. After the simple net blouse is made up-or has been pur- chased ready made-take a needleful of heavy silk floss in any desired color and begin to work big coin dots on the net. There must be definite motif or pat tern, however, or the effect will not be good. Straight lines or dots like trim ming bands are particularly satisfactory, and a wee silk or satin neektie to match the dots will complete very chic blouse for matinee or bridge wear.

The Low-Necked Gown.

Again the old. old, question must low necked gowns be worn?' is the agitating subject insour national capital In regard to formal festivities at the White House, occasioned largely by Mrs. Roosevelt's at titude in the matter
 The First Lady of the Land never wears decolette gown, yet the women who stand at her side at the endless so- cial affairs, known as official levees," go as low cut as they see fit.
 "The woman of good breeding knows ex- actly what to wear and what to do at any and in any place." says decorum.
 At any rate Washingtonfans are quite much stirred up over the question of the low necked gowns, and the fashionable world is awaiting impatiently to see what attitude Mrs. Taft will assume in the mat ter
