Winter Drainage Suggestion.

Winter drainage is not the same as
summer drainage. and it must be at

ing up season. In summer we simply
want capacious tiles running through
The soil capable OF keeping it from be-
Ing waterlogged, and we want a slo-
ping Of drives so that swift showers
shall be carried quickly by surface
bitches. But in winter. there is often
a body Of melting snow very suddenly
let loose. that will wash the best soil
of your land. tear cutters through
your strawberry beds, sad possibly
even heave out your young trees. It
Is extremely important just as you
wind up your work, to cut surface
drains of a temporary sort. where the
slopes are likely to be washed, and so
as to catch the flush of water before it
accumulates, and throw it out Of your
garden and off your lawn. These SUI
perficial drains can be closed in the
spring, or if left at all can be modi-
fed to very shallow and almost un-
noticeable suices.-Outing Magazine

FOR HAWAII
Offer Of Telescope For

The prospects are bright for the
securing of an observatory for Homo
lulu. probably under the control OF
the College of Hawaii.
An informal meeting was held last
evening at the University Club, at.
tended by members Of the College fac.
ulty and several officials OF the Terri.
torial Government.
The meeting was held In connection
with the offer of Pittsburg institu.
ton to send a large telescope to Ho.

cntific data In this latitude on Hal.
iey's comet next spring
II was the opinion that II the teles.
cope was received and a building
erected for its accommodation through

be retained here.
The site Of the proposed observatory
was also discussed. The future and
permanent site of the College of Ha-
wall in Manoa was considered. but
the impression of the members of the
College faculty seems to be that Kai.
muki would be better adapted to the
purposes of an observatory.

ceived from the East, a six.inch tel.

be placed in position so as to be avail.

The Roman Holero.

The very last thing to be enlisted
in the line of savage adornment is the
Roman bolero. As matter Of fact,
the Roman bolero resembles nothing
SO much as 1t. does Egyptian armor.
For 1t is made Of stir pieces OF the
new silver and gold brocades sewed
ON big round plates. These are thea
put on back and front, with one Of the
immense cabouchons between-under
the bust and at the top Of the waist
line In the back. These decorations
are worn with the new evening and
dinner gowns and, needless to say. sue
cessfully consort with the massive
round plates worn at the side of the
head, the classic fillets bound in the
hair, the long embroidered stole. the
slashed skirts and the long draped
lines and all the modern yearnings
after ancient adornment.

MODELLED AFTER THE JAPANESE,
New ParasoI That Is Seemingly Going
to Become Popular.

For those who are going as far
south as Florida and Havana there Is
offered a charming new parasol called
the Clio Clio San. says the New York
Sun. It is quite fiat. with a gilded
framework, and covered with lowered
silk and wide hem Of colored chiffon.
The shape and design are copied
straight from the paper parasol used
by the Japanese.
1t leads the way for all the rest. The
wide, fiat shape is to be preferred
above all others for the season OF
1909. The framework differs from the
American kind, which Is usually made
ND OF eight ribs. The new ones have
10 ribs, all Of which are gilded.
Attached to the handle is large
ornamental ring OF ivory which slips
up over the ribs when the parasol Is
closed and keeps It in compact form.
This in itself is pretty idea and can
be used on any parasol, old or new.
Colored chintz parasols will be made
on this plan for everyday country use.
They have the IS gilded ribs and the
heavy rings Of celluloid.
Last summer the Paris women made
the straw parasol the fashionable one
Of Europe. A scented African grass
was used and the handle was OF bam-
boo or natural wood. These are in
America now, and possibly will be
taken up widely for summer resort
use.
These parasols, like all the other
new ones. have the long directoire
handle added to the fiat japanese top.
