Forest Fires in Maine.

Forest fires damage in Maine this
year amounts to $S1, 625, of which
amount 1,445 was in the Maine for
estry district, and $40,1S0 in the incor-

partment. The acreage burned over
aggregates 32,361 acres, of which 81.
200 acres was in the Maine forestry
district, and the remainder in the in
corporated towns. Most of the fires
burned over land of little value in the
forestry district. The greatest acre

weather the woods are becoming dan
gerously dry and all the chief wardens

IN DECORATING THE HOUSE
Several Simple But Most Important
Principles Which Should Be
Understood.

There are few principles, simple
but most important, which should be
understood by every woman who sets
out to be her own interior decorator.
Do not hang curtains Of one color
against a wallpaper OF another.
II possible to avoid do not put diff
ferent papers on the walls OF rooms
which adjoin, with wide archways or
folding doors between.
II it is necessary, the character Of
the rooms, to have slightly different
kinds of paper, let them be as near
alike as possible in color. The design
does not make so much difference.
Do not join carpets OF opposite col
ors.
When it is not possible to have car
pets alike in rooms joined by wide
openings, rug should be laid over
the seam to hide it.
Oriental rugs, beautiful as they are,
should be used with discretion. In a
small, many-colored room they are
likely to howl at each other.
They are very good when used to
light up a one-tone room.

Paris loves the pulled-in waist line.
While she has held bravely and long
to the high-waisted skirt on many Of
her gowns, and, indeed. with an ardor
not known in America, she has
grasped the opportunity with the very
first gown that admitted Of 1t, to put
ON leather belt, and q close one at
that
She has worn this belt during the
summer with some of the foulard and
lingerie gowns and with the best Of
her linen morning frocks. She has
strained point to wear it with
dresses that were scarcely built for it..
In this particular fashion period
through which we are passing, the
belt is frequently impossible with the
halfftted princess OF the moyen age.
except 1t be the loose leather belt Of
the silken girdle run through slots
opened beside the princess panels.
Tho pulling in of a closely fitted
princess is about as awkward as any
thing that could well be imagined,
but the Partisan woman. who always
nnds her opportunity, has worn a
shaped leather belt successfully with
a model like the white pique shown in

although including the long hip and

OF decided waist line This shaped
belt Of shiny leather Is made OF three
pieces, which fit 1t about the figure
very snugly.
The straight patent leather worn
with the striped linen morning frock,
although made Of one piece, is also an
outlined belt and fastened with a
square leather covered buckle.
Now, the French woman oversteps
the mark when she wears her beloved
shiny belt with the fitted foulard gown
OF princess cut, but to her the girdle
seems an irresistible accessory. Paris
ians always feel privileged to perform
remarkable feats in fashion making,
but fortunately the sensible American
is given to adaptations. She will, in
all probability, wear the extreme pat

gowns made for it; with models hav-

FOX HUNTING IN BALLOON
A Thrilling Sport That May Rival
Motor Speeding Among
Wealthy Class.

Next on the list of thrilling sports:
Fox hunting in balloons. 1t sounds like
fiction, but it's the cold, substantiated
fact. The sport of fox hunting a la
balloon has been taken up and firmly
established in Germany. In England
they have had try at it. And it only
remains for the people with the price
in America to get acquainted with the
possibilities of this high and lofty
sport to make it rival and outdistance
auto racing as the exciting diversion
of the wealthy classes.
Sensational and even improbable as
it may seem, the hold which this new
sport has taken both in Europe and
England indicates that a new line has
opened up for the sportsman in search
OF unusual thrillers. The first event of
its kind in Berlin, patronized by all
the prominent aeronauts attracted to
the capital city of Germany through
the international airship exhibition,
has established firmly the sport of
balloon fox hunting among the mon
eyed people of the world. Followed by
the exhibition at Nottingham, England,
the signs would indicate that it will
hot be long before this form of amuse-
ment is even more popular than record
breaking races in high speed motor
cars.
Physical obstacles have kept the
good old sport of fox hunting on the
ground from obtaining more than q
foothold on the American continent.
The present branch of the sport, how
ever, would seem to offer uhbounded
opportunities for American million
aires to more than surpass the wealthy
classes of Europe in this most thrilling
of thrillers-fox hunting in the air.

THE BANG Is HERE AGAIN
II Will Be Worn by the Ma
iority of Women Next
Winter.

Although much protest was made
last winter about the temperance
of the bang" across the forehead, it
seems to be rather firmly intrenched
now.
The majority OF women will wear
1t this winter. In large measure it
will be becoming 1t will compel
women to lift from their foreheads
that low-hanging mass of hair, now
the fashion, and substitute it with
tiny, wavy fringe.
1t is absurd to cut the hair to make
this bang. One can buy it by the
piece in any hair shop and attach it
under ones own hair by an invisible
hairpin.
One should be extra careful not to
get it thick or straight.
The poodle bang, once so fashion
able in the eighties OF the nineteenth
century, also promises to return. 1t
has already done so in Paris, but
there it, like the wavy fringe, only
accompanies the fiattened pompadour.
Both of these have been introduced
to give softness TO a forehead from
which the hair has been lifted, and
also to give a showing of hair under
the hat.
They should never be worn with
the hair severely parted in front.

SMALLEST OF ALL DOGS
Those from Chihuahua Sometimes
Weigh Only a Pound and
Are Very Tiny.

Of all the toy dogs the Chihuahua is
probably the smallest and least COM
mon. Originally they were distinct
race of wild Mexican dog which the In
dians crossed with a small domestic
dog in order to tame them.
A remarkable fact in connection
with it is that when taken away from
Chihuahua and bred for time in an
other part of the world, or even in any
other district of Mexico, the progeny
increases and becomes as the natives
say degenerate.
The breed is almost too delicate and
sensitive to thrive outside its native
heath. In this country it requires the
tenderest care and unless heavily
blanketed cannot be taken out except
In midsummer.
A full-grown dog can easily rest on
the palm of the hand. The pure breed
weighs from one to 3B pounds; the
smaller the dog the more valuable. In
the British museum few years ago
there was the stuffed skin of female
OF this breed abot the size of a rat, and.
as if to prove her of mature growth,
beside her were two pups about as big
as mice.
A pretty custom in Mexico is to pre-
sent one of these tiny dogs in a bou-
quet of flowers to an actress. Nine.
Patti is said to have received one of
these gifts.
Even in Chihuahua the dog is valu-
able. The pups bring from 5000 to $500,
but the best specimens bring even
more.-Country Life in America.
