that the young one, with her fine table
linen, bed clothing and lingerie, could
have no more welcome gift in that
distant city than that despised scrap
bag for emergencies.
Another seasoned housekeeper gives
to every bride-to-be among her friends
what she calls The Brides Friend"
1t is nothing more than an elaborate
patch bag, but proves the most popu-
lar kind of an engagement present.
She makes a large laundry bag OF
art linen in some bright color, binds
it with white linen tape, supplies 1t
with several pockets, inside and out,
and embroiders on the front the ini-
tials of the recipient.
The bag is then stocked with scrub
cloths, pieces of muslin for ironing
boards, covers for pots and pans, sew
eral yards of gray canton flannel for
wiping up floors, chamois skins, rolls
of old muslin and linen and good
sized pieces of silk and cloth.
The fame of this odd gift has been
spread by enthusiastic young house
keepers, who have found 1t a delight
to have a supply on which to draw be-
fore time provides them with rags"
of their own.

tremely Popular.

Since the fashion in making East
Indian patterns and designs on many
fabrics came back into fashion there
has been a wide demanded for the
printed cotton table cover in these
colors.
These are used for bedroom, library
and sitting room tables. They sell
for small prices from dollar up. The

low.
The border is distinctly East Indian,
often in the cashmere pattern.
Large peacocks in the brilliant blues
and greens strut over the surface, and
huge baskets of red flowers make a
circle in the center.
The woman who needs new table
covers and who does not wish to in
vest In expensive affairs could not dc
better than choose one of these.
In a bedroom or sitting room where
old colonial furniture is used these
table cloths are especially effective
for they were much used in the period
that gave birth to the mahogany furni
ture.
One decorator has used four OF the
smaller covers, with baskets OF roses
and the cashmere border as cover
ing for bed. 1t is quite effective and
harmonizes entirely with the rest OF
the room, which is colonial.

able TO have the hogs fattened and
finished for market at about five aud
one-half or six months of age.
Where the fat or lard hog is desired
the most profitable age to market in
order to meet the requirements of the
market would be about eight to ten
months. Hogs of this age should
weigh in the neighborhood of 800 to
$50 pounds. AS a general rule, how.
ever 1t may be stated that the great.

ical gains are made on the younger
animals. This is one point in favor
of the bacon hog.
The season of the year at whilh
the fattening should be done will de-
pend upon various conditions. In a
great many instances, hogs are fat.
tened during the fall and early winter.
In other instances they are fattened
during the spring and early summer,
Generally speaking the most econom.
ical gains can be made during the
early fall or spring months. The
weather is then not too cold nor too
warm-in fact, about right for che

considerable amount of the feed is
used for the production of heat to sap
ply the heat required for the main

about the best width for the modern

inches over. Street skirts cut above
the ankles, made of rough fabrics, are
not always this wide, but the two

enough fullness at footline.

 Many out of town visitors thronged the Breed theater last evening, and at the matinee as well, for there was scarcely standing room at either per formance. and the delighted audiences testified to the excellence of the pro- gramme by their frequent and pro- longed applause.
 Among the other features for the pleasure of their patrons was the re- turn of Master Harry Noonan, the phenomenal boy soprano who has made such a hit at the Breed. and is sQ popular with the patrons He sings this week the superb love song of Hawley's entitled Somebody Loves You, Dear, as a concert song and his artistic. rendition of it bespeaks his careful training, and he was compelled to repeat the last verse two and three times at each performance. He is also featuring this week the great popular hit. In Watermelon Time, a song that is whistled and sung more at present than any other song in the market this being accompanied by handsome southern scenes.
 The great feature of the picture part is Mark Twain's great success. The Prince and the Pauper a marvel ous story of the striking resemblance of the Prince of Wales and a began CoS' iHe costumes propert1es, armor and trappings were carefully selected for historical accuracy, beauty and tmpressiveness.
