Tassels will play prominent part
on the seasons dresses.
The bottom OF many of the evening
dresses is trimmed by fold Of cloth.
The empire waist is undoubtedly the
waist of spring, and the short, high

Everything Is being done to make the
skirt as clinging as possible, 1t is
long, and 1t is cut so as to hang in
straight lines.
The sash Is a decided feature OF

Millinery Hint.

The hat Is an artistic creation which
needs some care even after it is put
on. \ good milincr will slightly bend
the frame TO fit the face each time the
hat is worn. It takes only minute
and adds so much to the looks.
Velvet hats make a woman look like
dowager. They add 10 her age. But
silk hats and soft chiffon ones make
her alluring. OF course a veil adds n
great deal. II Is mystical and makes
woman more wonderful In the eyes
of man.

stone, are too brilliant. They make the
eyes seem duh.
Turquoise is much softer. Sparkling
stones never look well in the hat or in
the ears or at the throat.

Watering the Hous,

The feed makes n pig, but there Is a
deal in the way the feed is given. A
common mistake Is to make slop too
thin when made with water. If milk Is
the liquid used there is no objection,
for milk with corn, pastures or mill
stuff makes very excellent feed. If
just enough water could be used to
supply the hogs want, then 1t would
be all right TO mix water with the feed
If a slop is made very thin, the amount
OF water may he more than the pig
should have or desires and regardless
of weather. On that account many
herds OF swine fail TO do well, SlOl
should be made only thin enough ia
pour from the pail. Water should be
supplied separately and tie pigs per
mltted to help themselves. If handled
in this way, hogs rarely fail to do well
