CONVENIENT POWDER BOXES
The Bath Box Now More Popular
Than the Puff.

The bath powder box and puff have
ousted the face pun, partly because
other ways of applying powder to the
face are liked better than by the use
Of a pun and partly because the bath
pun is such a comfort and JOY. Dainty
women are never without their large
bath powder set, which includes a box
or receptacle of glass or lacquer and a
puff four times the size of an ordinary
pun.
japanese boxes are charming and
cost less than the glass or silver kind.
They measure eight or ten inches In
diameter and are as deep as an Ordin-
airy pan. with cover the same size
as the bottom. They can be had In
white with a pink. blue or green lac
Quer lining and gold knob for handle.
or in scarlet with gold and black ORR
entail decoration. They have been
made in other colors as well-in black,
for instance. The ribbon, tied in the
center of the huge wan's-d0wn puff
that is as large in circumference as
the box in which it belongs. matches
the color of the lining of the box.
Other bath powder boxes are made
of plain crystal and fitted with silver
top. or one can buy expensive cut glass
boxes with an deliberately chased or
embossed silver top.
Where price has to be considered a
very excellent substitute for the Jap
anese lacquer box is found in the
small carved natural wood dish that
comes from the far east. These boxes
are about six or eight inches across
and fairly deep-deep enough to hold
a gOOd-sized powder puff. They are
fitted with carved lid which has a
wooden knob in the middle. For or
binary use these answer quite as well
as the more expensive kind. The
price of the box is something like 60
or 80 cents and the powder puff can
be bought separately in almost any
drug store or department store where
there is a drug counter.
Bath powder should not be used in
quantities. A little of it can be busted
on just after the bath and by the time
one is dressed most of it viii have dis

perfumed with the most delicate odor.

HOrnlesS strains of cattle are be-
coming more common and are bred in
the following ways: One method is by
watching for hornless offspring and
breeding these together, selecting the
hornless progeny for further breeding.
In this way some hornless strains
have already been developed. II we
may believe the more or less reliable
records that come down to US. The
other way is to make an out-cr0ss into
a hcrniess breed and then select as
breeders the animals that are hOrnless
and have otherwise the characteristics
of the foundation breed. Thus II one
wished to create a strain Of hornless
Herefords. the plan would be to make
an outcross in the direction Of the Red
Polled cattle and. then fall back to the
Herefords, selecting as breeders the
results of the cross that showed Here
ford characteristics, with the excep-
ton of having the Red POlled charac-
ter:stic of Eorn,essness..

But Euge did not give us very much time

more than half an hour, as a light breeze had

wildcat sprang through it onto the cabin

displaying one gaunt leg and paw,
We all gazed at it, too startled to move

"Come on!" Grief Alf, who was the nearest
to the beast; and he threw himself on it,
drawing more folds of the sail over its back:
''If he gets out of this sail, some OF us VIII

Quick as a flash, old Euge was helping Alf:

Our wildcat measured four feet and three
inches. from the top of its nose to the tip of
its tail-not small one of its species.
We skinned it with considerable elation,
and Euge promised to cure the pelt so as to
make a rug for the Mystic's cabin, which he
did.
On the run we made down to a regatta at
Buffalo, two weeks later the rug decorated
