De You Want TO Be Thin?

If the woman who is bound and de-
termined TO grow thin would realize
that in her efforts she is often adding
five or six years to her appearance by
letting her face get too thin, she would
be more content with her own figure.
When too much flesh is removed from
the face the skin becomes wrinkled
and creased and often bags in an un-
becoming manner. A thin face is a
great deal older looking than a plump
face unless, of course, there are sever,
al double chins, so it really is a tossup
which one prefers, youthful figure or
youthful contour of face AS a woman
grows older it is almost invariably be.
coming to add to the plumpness of her
face.

scarcely suited to a woman of very
quiet taste, but there are many wom-
en- to whom striking costumes are
most becoming, and who should there
fore not hesitate to wear them, and for
such the arrangement of trimming
shown in the illustration is a most at
tractive one.
The design may be carried out either
with embroidery wrought on the ma
terial, with allover embroidery such
as may be had in the shops. with
heavy applique or passementerie. or
with pattern cut from brocade or
lowered silk and appliqued to the
material of the gown. The house
gown, shown in the Illustration, of
black and white messaline, tells how
the striped fabrics are employed as
trimming. 1t shows also the high-cut
skirt and the ubiquitous vest of shirred
chiffon and exquisitely embroidered
J banding.
This striped material in black and
white is very dashing, but the color
combination in the strip of embroid
cred net is most delicate, soft pinks

Soft Leather Belts.

Some of the wide soft leather belts
have a line of rather large steel nail
heads set along the upper edge only
and buckles covered with leather and
ornamented with steel. Others are
tooled in gold along the upper edge

have large simple gold buckles curving
in to fit the waist. These belts are

Mr. s. Hoxie, in the pamphlet "Hol-
stein Friesian Cattle"t( 1905) writing upon
the size of cows states: "In ordinary
milking condition at full age, they range
in weight from 1000 to 1900 pounds"
With large size as the recognized pre-
dominant characteristic of the breed,
aside from their beautiful black and
white color markings in perfectly detin-
Ell patches or spots, the next general
def milton relates to the general conform
a ion of the animal. There are three
d finite types. described as the milk and
b.,f form, the milk form, and beef and
milk form.
The average form of the breed and
that toward which conscientious breed
ers are directing their efforts to main
tain and improve, is the milk and beef
form.
Mr.. S. Hoxie thus admirably refers to
the milk aud beef type of the breed: 1T
is especially strong III all vital particu-
lars. The bones are fine compared with
size, and the chine broad and strong
compared with the high and sharp chine
of the extreme milk form. The loin and
hips are broad and smooth, and the rump
high and level compared with the an
gularity usually shown in the milk form
The twist is roony and the thighs anC
hooks well apart. Passing forward thu
shoulders are smoother and more com

ton of food. These characteristics, de-
rived from the Holstein, have been inn
portant factors in the foundation stock
of the Shorthorn and Ayrshire breeds and
of many Continental offshoots.
In America it was the Holland type
that by it's productive power directed the
attention of agricuturists towards this
breed. and it is safe to assert that an eX-
animation of the great majority of re-
markable Yields will show, to those hav-

descriptions, the close adherence to the
Holland type in all these wo nderful ami
mails. Large size in the HOls stein is the
first thing to impress the casual observer,
and its importance should never be dis
regarded.
In defining pure bred Holstein cattle
this fact was duly set forth by the found
ers of the herd-book association, in these
words, which should never be forgotten,
no matter what may be the yield in milk
or its fat percentage, viz: "Pure bred
Holstein Friesian shall be held to mean

While in some cases it may have been
an improvement to trim trees along the
highways of Addison county, it would
appear that some fine specimens have
been leveled that should have remained
standing. Trees, if properly cared for,
have beauty of their own that nothing
else can initiate, and wherever practical
at all should be left uncut. When we
stop to consider that here in our own
country there are thousands of square
miles of arid land where such trees as
we ruthlessly cut down would be god
send, we will be more apt to appreciate
our own Green Mountain State, where
nature has provided such plentifully
wooded places to gladden. the eye.
