NEW STOCK AND SLEEVE FRiLLs.
Those That Are Hand-PIaited Are the
Hall Mark of Elegance.

The latest fancy is to have the STOCK
and the Dlaited frills that finish the
sleeves of some fine, soft, white ma
terial lightly edged with line OF mem
stitching. And to be correct the plalts
must be done by hand. THESE hahu-
plated frills are the hall mark OF e1-
IRENE elegance.
At country house gatherings there IS
much dancing, for here the young Slrls
of the family make their lnltlatory
bow before the serious presentation to
their set in town. Sweetly charming
are some gowns prepared for these
little dances at a great chateau near
Paris. Over a sheath of soft, Whlte
liberty satin hangs a scant, SNORT
skirt of white India muslin; the edge
is shaped into deep teeth followed by
many tiny frills of scantily trllled
Valenciennes lace, forming a border
quite six inches in depth-like moss.
The slightly low cut corsage is TRIM
med in the same manner; the messy
effect continuing around the snoul-
ders. Triple lace frills make the
sleeves over tight shirred ones OF
filmy chiffon that reach to the elbows.
A long scarf of blue mousseline de
sole, with long silken fringe, circles
high the waist and falls from the back
to the hem of the skirt. Shoes and
stockings are of the tender blue OF the
scarf A pale pink rose pricks the
hair. and a second one is thrust into
the sash at the left side.
OF the white tulle is another dainty
gown, hung over rose color, made
paler by a yelling Of white mousseline
de sole, rejecting changing lights.
The hem of the tulle skirt is trimmed
with tiny puffings and the low corsage
is wholly bouillonne; between each
puff is twisted a ribbon of white satin,
knotting at the sides into smart bows.
Three of these twists of ribbon form
the girdle, ending in the middle of the
back in similar bows. Short, wide,
open sleeves are edged with the puff
fings. A tiny wreath of pink roses
finishes the edge of the corsage.

CURTAINS NOW HAND PAINTED.
Newest Models Show Some Marvel
ously Pretty Effects.

Hand embroidery and painting EN-.
bellish the newest models in window
blinds or fiat curtains, which are used
SO extensively now, and the color is
so deftly introduced that it does not
clash with any of the other decora-
tions in the room or give too bright an
effect to the blinds themselves. The
work is done on fine lace or some
sheer material, and the design follows
the favorite Adams style or some
dainty French festooned and garland
ed patterns.
Medallious of cluny or filet are in
set in many of the new fiat curtains
and blinds, usually in simple border
or in a geometrical pattern. An ex-
cellent material for these blinds is
rather heavy holland Of a rich ivory
tint that looks especially well as a
screen for the light. 1t does not dark
en- the room, yet it makes a perfect
shield on bright days. There is a
new luster material which is much
liked for curtains. 1t is soft and more
or less transparent, but hangs grace
fully and lends itself to a variety of
decorative treatments.

DAIRY NOTES.

Germs, it is said, multiply faster in
pasteurized milk than in any other
kind. Therefore keep the pasteurized
milk in a cool place and use it as soon
as possible.
Never use the milk utensils for any
thing but milk.
There never was a dairyman yet
who could offer an excuse for keep
ing scrub cows in his herd. The rea-
son is very simple; there is no excuse.
At present high prices the dairyman
should raise as much Of his own feed
as possible.
If COWS that are well fed and prop
erly cared for do not prove profitable,
dispose of them and get others.
In building up the herd it will be
found the fall fresh COW is the best
and so is the fall calf the best to buy.
Don't use cheap salt in making but
ter. Use table salt as the barrel kind
is too coarse.
Fresh, clean, solid butter always
brings a better price on the market
than the soft kind.
Dairy cows should not be too fat.
They should not rob the milk pail
to put on flesh.

LY DISCOVERED BY IMMl-

STORY OF HARDSHIP IS TOLD
Trousers Donned, She Says, in Order
to Earn Livelihood More Easi-
Iy-Not1ing in Alien Laws

New York.-Puzzling the immigra
ton officials at Ellis island is the case
of a woman attired in mans cloth
ing, who was landed the other day
from the New York Office of the Amer
lean line from Southampton and Cher
bourg. Her case will be taken up by
a special board of inquiry, and Robert
Watchorn, commissioner of immigra-
ton, will no doubt refer the case to
Washington for final settlement.
AS the woman, who is 50 years old,
passed through the inspection lines
CARRIED as a man, her feminine ap-
pearance caused her to be halted and
questioned. She finally admitted that
she was woman and that the name
Frank Woodruff, which she had as
sumed, was not her proper name. Then
more questioning brought out her
story.
To the examiners she said her true
name is Mary Johnson and that she
was born in little town outside OF
Quebec, of French-Canadian parents.
For 35 years, she said, she lad
dressed according to the custom of
her sex, until she found that she
could get along better attired as
man, and Is years ago, while in Cali
fornia, she put on masculine garb and
made a success as canvasser for
books. Then she went to New Or
leans, where her knowledge of French
stood her in good stead, and she did
even better.
She saved enough to go to France
this summer and visited the little vii
lage where her ancestors were born.
To the inspectors she said that she
was on her way to New Orleans to
take up her work again. AS Miss

BUTTER CoLoRs.
A Good Thing fer the Farm Gutter
Maker to Let Alone.

Butter colors are good thing for
the farm butter maker to let alone.
declares the Farmers Review. Some
of the coloring compounds that
have been put on the market in the
past have been made of coal tar, and
without doubt many butter colors are
still on the market that are made
from this material. Colors derived
from coal tar are supposed to be poi
sonous. and some of the states have
prohibited their use.
But even if they are harmless, it is
better to let them alone. Skill is re-
CURED in their use and it is difficult
for the uns6illed butter-maker to get
the same shade of color in different
patches of butter In the creamery 1t
is different, as so much butter is made
that the use of the coloring matter
can be reduced to exact proportions.
In the creamery, milk is received
from all kinds of patrons and all
kinds of cows, and the artificial col
oring makes it possible to turn out
a uniform product day by day. So the
use of a vegetable coloring matter in
the creamery can hardly be con-
demned; for by it alone is a uniform
ity of color possible.
But on any single farm the color OF
the butter will be uniform, as the milk
comes from the same COWS all the
time. Cows differ greatly as to the
color of their cream. With some cows
it is of a very deep yellow color, and
with other COWS it is so light as to
be almost colorless. The color fac
tor is largely matter of breeding. A
man can improve the color of his but
ter by using for breeders only the
cows that produce milk of good color
1t is true, however, that some OF
the best Durham cows produce cream
very light in color. and when man
has a good COW of this kind he can
not afford to discard her, just because
of the lightness of the color OF her
butter-fat. He can help himself by
keeping other COWS that will make up
for the deficiency
The color of farm butter is mat
ter of sentiment only, and with some
consumers it counts for nothing.
While q man has private customers
for his butter, he will have no trou-
BILE on account of color, SO long as
he lets artificial coloring matter alone.
If a person is selling butter on the
open market, the possession of good
color does go some distance in secur-
ing sales.
If after all a farmer determines to
use butter colors in the making up OF
his farm butter he should reduce its
use to a science and learn to always
use the same proportion. This is not
an easy thing to do; for 1t is hard to
use little enough of the butter color
in a small batch of butter.
The feed of the cows has some
bearing on the color of the butter,
and it is this that gives to June but
ter it's high color. The cows are at
that time receiving very full ra-
ton of succulent green grass, and
the green color in the grass comes out
in the butter-fat as yellow of a pro-
nounced shade Good clover hay
cured in a way to retain its original
green color helps some in keeping
fall and winter butter Of good color.

Bees Swarm. Kill Horse.

nearly a decade.

RAMSHACKLE DAIRYING.
1t Is the Kind That Does Not Pay
Get Good Cows.

No one would keep a hired man
who insisted on earning less than
half of his wages, yet it Is fully as
unbusinesslike to keep COWS that will
not pay for the food they consume, de-
clares Farm and Home. Many of us
just aim to keep a certain number
of cows. When we dispose of one we
purchase another to fill the vacancy.
She may be better than the one sold,
but the probabilities are that she is
not so good.
AS to breed, some are Durhams,
some Herefords, some Jerseys and
some grades We breed one year to
a Durham, the next to a Jersey and
the next to any mongrel that happens
to be convenient, because the service
fee is less. Each breed has it's merits
fully admitted by all fair-minded men,
but one of the greatest evils against
which we have to contend is the tend
ency to cross the breeds. In pioneer
days it was often unavoidable, but in
this day it is entirely wrong.

Johnson could not be placed in the
detention rooms for men, despite her
attire and for obvious reasons could
not stay in the part Of the big build
ing assigned to women, the assistant
commissioner was puzzled to know
how to care for the detained woman.
Finally she was placed in private
room in the hospital.
Miss Johnson's hair, which is cut
short, has tinge of gray and on her
lip is faint down which she says has
been the bane of her life. The wear
ing of mems clothes for Is years has
enabled Miss Johnson to take on some
of the ways of man, and when she
talked she wore her fedora hat tipped
on one side and held her small hands
in her trousers pockets.
II have worked as a man because
I have had to-" she said. 81 have al
ways lived an honest and respectable
life. I have travelled across the Allan
tic both ways, with three men in the
room assigned to me, and they never
knew my sex was different from
theirs. Why should 1 be denied the
right to earn my living as I am doing?
Hundreds of women in Canada are
wearing mems clothes in order to earn
an honest living simply because they
are obliged to do so. A woman of my
age can get no employment in the
United States, especially if she is not
strong"
There is nothing in the immigration
laws as to the proper clothing for
aliens, but the laws of the state forbid
women to wear male attire.

To Fatten the Neck.

To make the throat full and round
the best exercise is to bend the head
slowly forward until the chin touches
the neck, and then slowly raise the
head to its normal position. Repeat
these movements until you are tired.
Then bend the head as far backward
as possible. Sitting erect in a chair,
bend the head from one side to the
other. and then roll the head to the
right, left and forward. Another good
position is to let the arms hang loose
" at the side. Raise the shoulders as
high as possible, then forward, down
and backward, until circle is formed.
Continue this for time and then re-
verse the motion. Do this every day
for five or ten minutes.
1t is also well to massage the neck
and shoulders we'll with cocoa butter.

DAIRY SCHOOL COURSE.
1t Is Absolutely Essential to the Man
Who Would Run Creamery.

The day is past when full-fledged
duced in two or three months, and
even an apprenticeship of a year in
a good factory is not any longer con-
sidered sufficient for the man who is
to take charge of creamery or
cheese factory, and do the right thing
by his employer. In these days of
strong competition, 1t is absolutely
necessary for the butter and cheese
maker to be as well informed as it is
possible for him to be in order to
hold his own, and course at one
of the dairy schools will mean
great help to him; in fact, he is
seriously handicapped without such
a course. That is not saying that
the old butter and cheese maker, who
never went to a dairy school, is not
in many cases as competent as the
one who did, says the Northwestern
Agriculturist, he oftentimes is, and
sometimes a great deal better, but 1t
should be remembered that he
started in VIXEN tho factory way Of
making butter and cheese was quite
a new one, and by keeping his eyes
open and doing more or less eX-
perimenting at the expense of his
employers, he was enabled to make
Of himself a first-class man. Many
of his class to-day realize the i'm
portance of dairy school course,
and, as of late years, goodly num-
Der of the students in the school this
winter will be found to be old, ex-
perienced makers. Surely, If such
men can and do derive any benefit
from a dairy school course, the
younger men derives still more.

KICKING Cows.

Cows seldom kick unless there is
some reason for it. 1t may be sore
in sight or out of sight, or swelling
or it may be long finger nails. Posi-
bly, some previous injury or pain
makes the COW so afraid and nervous
that she cannot resist the inclination
to kick any more than man could
resist striking at another who he
thought was going to injure him.
Kicking can frequently be cured by
finding what the cause is and remov-
ing it.
