The summer, with all its beauty
is now numbered with the things o1
the past The night winds will sooI
to strange distress, and as | write
the leaves are falling, and l look out
on the forests all glowing with the
tints of autumn and realize that the
time is short between this and the
melancholy days of wailing winds
and naked woods. The close observ-
er who walks out cannot fail to no.
tice that getting ready for winter
seems to be the great work of all ma
ture; the leaves that fall so silently
and nestle around the tender plants
that grow beneath the trees protect
the bud from which the seed stalk
shall spout and shoot up in the early
spring. In the woods the squirrels
and woodpeckers and jay birds are at
work storing nuts for winter, while
the birds of passage have finown or
are getting ready for their departure
The farmers mind is in harmony, or
should be, with all this work of prep
aration, for there is much that he
must do, or meet with loss, and more
that he may do better now than in
the spring. In this work good judg-
ment must be used. and those things
done first that are most likely to
suffer; provide good stables and
sheds for all your stock, so that your
dreams may not be haunted by vis-
sions of shivering stock, standing in
a lot knee-deep in mud. Fill the
wood shed. Have no wood shed d?''
did you say? Well, then, in the
name of economy, comfort and af-
lection for your wife and family, get
a wood shed. Have in mind in all
your getting ready for winter the
fact that it is or should be the farm
er's vacation. and strive to so arrange
things that you can go along through
the severe winter with nothing to do
but TO care for your stock, and every
thing so convenient that this will be
light work. Do not forget to pro-
vide good books and papers for your |
wife and children to read during the |
long evenings. for this is the golden |
opportunity for the improving of the |
mind. The farmer who is thus ready |
for winter is man to be envied, and |
he can sit back and join heartily in |
the thanksgiving hymn of praise,
with his barns stored with the abun-
dance God has given him, with good |
health, at peace with his neighbor,
his conscience and his God. He is
OF all men the best fixed for the en-
joyment of life.

MISUSE THEIR CHIEF BEAUTY.
Women All Too Prone to Abuse tn .
Crown of Glory.

You know, and every woman knows.
that women treat their hair to unpar-
donable abuse. Women treat their
hair to deeper insults than any OF
their other possessions. One night
when a woman feels amiable and
bright she will brush and pat her hair
and put a good refreshing tonic on 1t,
and then braid it down her back. But
o! the next night, when she comes
home after bridge party, she will
yank the hundred odd hairpins loose
and shake her hair away from her
head and neck, and bop into bed un-
mindful of the consequences.
The hair needs regular and constant
care. and under these conditions only
will it flourish. Find some course of
treatment which suits your hair and
stick to this particular treatment, no
matter what happens.
To remove the tangles from the hair
use coarse-toothed comb, being sure
that the teeth are all smooth and
even. Never use fine-tooth comb on
the hair. 1t splits the shaft of the
hair, Injuries the roots, and brings
forth a crop of dandruff.
1t is not necessary, nor is it good
thing, to brush the hair too much; a
dozen or two strokes each night to
remove the dandruff il there is any,
and the days dust and dirt, will suf-
fee

BuYinu Tan Shoes.

An authority claims that tan shoes
should be purchased late in the day,
because earlier in the day much
smaller shoe can be comfortably worn,
yet will prove a torment later in the
day. Tan leather does not give" like
other leather and often shrinks slight
iy when dampened For this reason a
tan shoe holds its shape much better
than a black one, though 1t must be
comfortably fitted when purchased.
This should be remembered by moth.

Mourning Wells.

Now that the larger hats are admis-
sible in mourning the question of an
appropriate veil is sometimes vexing.
Speaking generally, supposing the hat
to be on the droopy brim order, or
even slightly bent. as over the face
and down in the back-for a shape
that raises itself at the side is not
correct-then the veil may be of crepe
Or grenadine, falling over the hat
