Walking Responsible For New
 Fad


 The fact that women have taken up walking as a fad recently has caused the most attractive novelties to be brought out in the line of overshoes.
 Every woman who would keep her fgure-the kind that MT. Champ Clark describes as "the machine turned, newel- post figure, must walk nowadays
 Every note of her walking costume must harmonize too, and nothing has ever been more remarked than the old. clumsy, black rubber overshoes on a rainy day, which was a distinctly discordant note.
 With this idea in view the boot and shoemakers have come nobly to the res- cue and the new overshoes are made on entirely different lines. The rubber constitutes the inner part, and the sole and the entire vamp and upper part are made of cloth or leather to match the gown.
 A pretty girl in soft white wool frock with pretty set of white fox and a Jaunty white fox turban. appeared re- gently on rainy day-no, 1t was just a cloudy day--and with her little feet shod in white rubber boots. susceptible man exclaimed upon seeing her:
 "Why, what c pretty little snowbird."

Poultry Pointers

The one best grain for poultry is wheat. The south side of the henhouse should consist largely of glass.
  Crowded poultry or those confined in small quarters are never healthful. Corn charred in the oven ought to be given to the poultry occasionally. It aids digestion. The henhouse will not only be cleaner. but more cheerful if it is whitewashed occasionally. Good care, warm quarters and careful feeding will help hens in producing eggs in the winter.
 Even though the weather is cold. the henhouse should be aired every day dur ing the winter.
 Indian meal and potatoes or turnips boiled and mashed together make a fine food for poultry.
 The whole grain portion of the ration may consist of screenings from rye. wheat, buckwheat or oats Keep pan of grit in front of the hens at all times. The birds will never eat more than they need Hens over two years old make the best setters. and so few of these should be kept for this purpose.
 
 large box of sifted coal ashes or road dust will be enjoyed by the hens as a dust bath during the winter.
 
 Provide the fowls with tepid drinking water on cold mornings and renew the supply In the afternoon.
  The first 52 eggs a hen lays pays her board for the year The production dur ing the rest of the year is profit

''The Granny

In the first place, be it known to all people, that
 "The Granny is a bonnet
 Not lady as one would suppose. It Is bewitching.
 And it is for the young
 Not the old as you'd imagine. It's for the distinctly pretty woman It's an echo from the middle of the last century.
 In those days it was made of silk, horse hair, fur, velvet and straw.
 The Empress Eugenie is shown in her portraits wearing this style of head dress.
 For really cold weather 'The Granny is a most appropriate arrangement and quite attractive.
 The mantle which accompanies it is known as "The Granny Mantle It is a shapeless little affair, with ill-defined sleeves but full with feminine charm.

Pads For Women

Tiny wreaths of fowers-breathing the Empire period-make the prettiest kind of decoration for girls evening frocks They can be fashioned from ribbon.
 Pink rosebud wreaths made from satin ribbon could be used as a support for a soft chiffon founce around the bottom of the skirt. A similar decoration could ap- pear about the slight decolletege.
 An Empire sash should be the finish of gown bearing this kind of trimming.
 Sister and brother are the descriptive titles given to the Princess slip and the sylphbocker respectively. Presumably women of masculine nature are expect ed to favor the latter, while dainty femininity will probably prefer the for mer. Both are fashioned from the same weave of silk (the Italian) and both are guaranteed to give the same sylph1 like effect.
 The Princess slip Is vision of loveli- ness. Cut to fit the figure perfectly it Is

trimmed on the bottom with a frothy frill of Val. lace and silk fully 12 inches deep.
 Many an. old fashioned satin evening gown is lying by considered hopeless. yet such frock has wondrous possibilities. It will probably have a perfectly plain skirt, with or without train. Anyway it will be only the right length in the front, so as to bring it up to date. Cut the skirt off foot above the hem and insert deep band of filet lace,
 This will make 1t possible to bring the skirt above the waist line. The old fash- toned waist will provide sufficient mater ial for draping a blouse of flet net or lace

An Electric Tablecloth

The fashionable London hostesses have a very attractive innovation in the ar rangement of the electric table cloth which may be shaded from the snowy white of the conventional damask to a glistenng silver.
 To surprise the guests with the table cloth gradually taking on color, or as it were, growing in brllliance until it seems afiame, is very clever ruse.
 To gain this effect few heavily shaded candles only are used oa the table. The hostess herself operates the switch and gradually the light ascepds from the whole tablecloth.
 It even shows through the dainty china and the result is almost as uncanny and weird as 1t is novel.
 The light is spread by multiplicity of wires. literally sewed in specially pre- pared material. which Hes close on the table and is then covered by the regula- ton tablecloth.
 The invention is a secret and so far the luminous cloths have been in the ex- elusive possession of a few wealthy wom- en only.
 The first to use this novelty was Mru Potter Palmer, who Is alwava alert far the newest things in this line. .,l

A New Year Thought

 Bells ring loud, bell ring clear! Ring bold, sounding free, Ginning sweet and merrily, Welcoming a newborn year. Mid acclaims like a king, Enters he. With hope aglow Are the hearts which seek to know What his reign will bring Changing monarchs. changing times, Presage days of better cheer. And there sounds no note of fear In the music of the chimes. Not to me, New Year gay. Do the bells so bravely ring Of the hope of what you'll bring, As of what you'll take away. Views awry, vanity, Weakness, sloth that bars the goal, Everything which cramps my soul, New Year, take from me. Bells ring bold, bells ring free, Sounding full chiming clear, Welcoming the newborn year. Merrily, hopefully

To Brighten Nickel

The woman who does things herself al- ways has on hand can of aluminium paint with which she brightens her nickel trimmings that have become tarnished.
 It is wonderful how fresh looking a house can be kept by small efforts. usu- ally but one or two coats are necessary as when put on too thickly the paint pees off
 There are some housekeepers who even go so far as to learn renlckelng, but the paint Is a good substitute, cheaper and much more easily applied.
