"HE fan is a dainty trifie and
should be in harmony with the
! gown. A fan is carried more for
its picturesque beauty than for
actual use. therefore the materials
should be of the most fairylike deli
cacy. A fan is always held SO near
that exQuisiteness of detail In che dec
oration is essential. In the inexpen-
sive boughten fans there Is, naturally,
an utter lack of this fine attention to
the detail of both design and work
manahip that distinguish the expen-
sive fans. The design should delicate
ly follow, or be in entire keeping with,
the rounded outline of the fan.
1t is possible to have very choice
fan for small cost If one does the dec
Grafton at home. When buying the
fan, give the whole attention to the
quality Of the frame, while the spread
of the fan is of plain white chiffon.
If a cheap lace edges it. this may be
removed.
Four designs for fans are shown in
the sketch, the modes of decoration
being quite within the power of the
most inexperienced of craftsmen. The
fan in the upper left-hand corner is of
plain white chiffon, edged with fine
French lace. The center of the spread
is hand-painted with dainty little pink
wild roses and delicate green leaves.
There is quaint old-time charm
about painted fan that is altogether
lovely. In this model the roses and
leaves are lightly sprinkled with wee
silver spangles sewn on with a
fine needle and fine thread. The stitch
es on the back OF the fan are hardly
perceptible.
The next fan is dainty affair of
white chiffon, spangled in gold. A row
of the spangles gives pretty finish
on each edge.

No other house design looks SO well

appeal to good many persons who
are not just ready to adopt the new

Many OF the new houses have living
rooms that extend all the way across
the front. the idea being to use the
front Of the house to the best pos

over to hallway and stairway that
is not used except to walk through.
A good many new houses have a
front entrance that opens right into

thirty-two acres. He uses very little

He makes $4,000 year on lettuce

Its back. On this account of 1t may be
easily distinguished from the other
form. II is also somewhat larger than
the plain green beetle. measuring
about a quarter Of an inch long. The
black spots are In three rows across
the back Of the bettle each row with
four spots. Usually these beetles are
found along with the plain green
beetles on the silks of the corn, but
they are not so common. The black
spotted bettlrN are found not only In
the fall, but all through the season
from early spring as well. There
seems to be at least two broods OF
them during the year.
The life history OF the southern
corn root-worm is similar to that OF
the northern form. except that It is
passed through in q much shorter
time. In the corn fields the eggs are
deposited in the ground near the
stalks.

field.
Preventive measures. Rotation OF
crops Is the most effectual preventive
of root-worms. The beetles of the
root-worms usually deposit their
eggs In the old infested fields. BY
changing the corn from such field to
another which was not in corn the
preceding year, these eggs are left
behind.
There are two kinds OF these
worms; the northern corn worm"
and the southern corn root-worm."
