BETTER THAN FAMILY ALBUM.
Folding Book Made Of Satin Ribbon
Combined with Canvas.

To preserve cherished photos" and
replace the family album, take two
long pieces Of satin ribbon, eight
inches wide, and lay them together
with an interlining Of tailor's canvas.
Leave space wide enough for cabinet
photos and between the spaces run
two rows of machine stitching an inch
apart, across the ribbons.
In the place for the face Of each
photo cut a cross through the inner
satin, with the scissors held towards
the corners, within an inch Of the
stitching. Cut off good part OF the
flaps, turn under and cross down.
Slide In the photos at open side OF
ribbon and catch the satin edges to-
gether with blind stitching. This
makes q folding book, which might
hold four to six photographs. May be
wrapped and tied with narrow rib
bons attached. or 1t may stand open
on the dresser or mantel to display
the pictures. With little measuring
you can make the openings just the
size to show the photographs to ad-
vantage.
When the book is first folded, set
weight on 1t to crease in regular
leaves

Manv Shapes In Hats.

Happily, the choice Of millinery Is
considerable this season. We are not
tied down to one shape. as we were
last summer, when 80 in every 100
women appeared in huge mushroom
cloche. 1t is strange that many fash
ionable women remain true to the
cloche shape. But the milliners do
not recommend that the woman who
has to economic, invest in cloche
shapes this spring. as this style has
been done to death, and 1t Is impos-
sible for 1t to remain in style much
longer. The cloche shape, slightly
turned up in front and at one side,
continues to be amazingly popular,
and this shape is wonderfully be-
coming. The upturned brim allows
the hair to be seen to advantage, and
attractive effects may be gained by
an artistic arrangement Of soft feath-
ers around the crown.

MODEL FOR "PoLLY" GOWN.
Simple Costume That Can 30 Made
Extremely Pretty.

"Polly" gowns are much prettier
than their extreme simplicity would
seem to warrant In these days OF
elaborate gowning. The original Is
q simple muslin costing not more than
70 cents a yard. sprigged with tiny
clusters Of roses. There is nine-inch
straight ruffie around the bottom and
at either side Of the seven rows OF
stirring across the front breadth is q
group of finely-laid plaits, not more
than five inches deep. The bodice Is a
round waist with the neck closely
shirred, and plaits like those In the
skirt, extending In yoke fashion from
shoulder to shoulder. The sleeves are
puffs gathered in ut the wrists. The
touch of modernism Is found In the
arrangement of the sash Of lowered
ribbon, which is caught slightly above
the waistline. giving the merest sug-
gestion of an empire effect. This same
model is being made up extensively In
pretty lowered silks and trimmed with
bands of velvet ribbon, with ruchings
Of narrow silk ribbon and with lace.
Naturally enough they lose their sim
plicity of detail by this treatment, but
II 10 retained in the outline and Is one
OF the favorite models for the softer
fabrics.

Puffs Losing In Favor.

It Is safe to predict that the fad OF
finger puffs is nearing an end. and
that milady's couture in the near fu-
ture will once more present q pretty
and natural appearance in place of the
artificial and trying deliberately dressed
hair. From the mere fact that yard
or so of puffs may be purchased at
any well-regulated notion counter for
a sum below the dollar mark comes
the conclusion that their day Is done
for the ultra fashionable. This passing
of puffs is a thing to be hailed with
Joy. The long rows of sausage-like ex-
crescences, usually several shades
"off" the rest of the couture, and also
often dull and dry looking, while the
rest of the hair is a bit, at least,
glossy, are an eyesore. Especially Is
this true when through the separate
strands of the pompadour one catches
glimpses of a rat" or hair roll OF a
still different shade.

THE LIVING ROOM.
Il should at All Times BE q "LIvabieS
Room.

What to do with the living room II
q problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
In fact as well as In name q living
room-a llvable room. It Is the room
In which the most OF our time at
home Is spent, the hours We have for
leisure, the time we have for play.
the place where We entertain our
friends and It IL absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings OF the
living room should be harmonious In
color, suitable in texture, and durable
In material.
The rich, soft. solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make q better back
ground for pictures. throw the furni-
ture out In better relief. are less dis
cordant with rugs and Competing, and
indicate higher degree Of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
stroslties which we paste on when We
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up o
plastered wall growing out Of hard
wood floor? Yet. that is what we
suggest to the imagination when We
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
full. but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they DO
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures Of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall Is the only
correct form Of tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately 1t is the only
clean way, and more fortunately 1t 10
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect $50 OF the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos'
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree Of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use Of darker
colors. Dark greens absorb the light;
light yellows reflect It; browns mod
;fv n and an on. through the scale
of colors. The color scheme OF q
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetlngs but 1t Is also
dependent upon the light Of the room.

Most Fashionable Silks,

Without doubt the most fashionable
silks for spring and summer street
wear will be foulard and Shantung.
The foulard silks are finer and more
supple of weave than ever and are
adaptable to the present style OF dress
where many plaits, numerous folds
and wide skirts require q texture Of
chiffon weight to give the necessary
lightness and grace Of line. The pref
ty coin.dotted foulards which make up

on navy and Copenhagen blue grounds,
on tan, gray and black. as well as

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A stan contributor OF q southern
newspaper has taken up the question
OF the return to the farm Of many who
had forsaken II for the glitter OF the
city. He says: ut In well known
fact that the history Of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon Its peo-
pie and Its institutions as statesmen.
soldiers, lnanciers-have as q rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and II is to such as these
that there comes with overmasterins
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does II come with re-
doubled responsiveness. greater pow.
er and sweeter pleading to the man OF
affairs when the clouds OF financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry Of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him the
specter of ruin, grinning in his face
and waving Its gaunt arms In threat.
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and q very few be-
came insane because Of their losses.
Two or three took their own lives.
II is when such times come that the
statesman. the great financier. and
the man of affairs becomes tired OF
the struggle. He lays down his pen,
turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds or cases
throughout the United States OF those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment In lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take,
for instance, the lands In Western Can.
ada that can be bought at from $40 to
SIS per acre which yield a revenue
equal to and often greater than their
original cost. Those lands make
certain investment. During the past
two months large investments In
these lands have been made. some In
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes of their own. Others to re-
sell to farmer friends. Tile agents Of
the Government of Canada located at
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticulars Of districts in which there are
free homestead grants Of 100 acres
each accessible to railways. markets
schools, churches, &c. These are val
liable lands. These agents will be
pleased to give information to any de-
sirous of securing, and will tell all
about the railway rates. &c

Cherry Tints.

The cherry tints are favored among
reds for spring and summer wear and
promise to have a great vogue. Charm
ing silks and sheer fabrics are being
brought out in cherry and coral
tones and touches Of both appear In

It is essentially spring color and
loops Of cherry ribbon as a back
