GETTING AWAY FROM WRINKLES.
Something That the Home Dress.
maker Should Remember.

One of the perplexing and annoying
dressmaker is how to avoid the
wrinkles that appear under the arm,
where the waist should fit perfectly
smooth. In many cases these wrinkles
appear because the armhole Is too
small, and If you find that this is the
case remove the sleeve and snip the
waist at the lower edge of the arm
hole. That the underarm seam should
slant in the right direction Is also i'm
portant, for If it is pulled either too
far forward or back it will throw
out the set of the garment. The I'M
derarm seam should be at the under
arm and should run parallel to the
center front and the center back seam.
In the case of stout figure, where
two or three underarm seams are nee
essary. one should be careful to get
them straight.
Another point about dressmaking
which often troubles the home dress
maker is the putting in of the sleeve
Start to sew the sleeve in at the in
side seam of the sleeve placing lit
tie to the front of the underarm seam
Then fit the under part of the sleeve,
working the fullness as much as pos
sible to the center of the top. Remem-
Der that the fullness must fall neither
backward nor forward if you want
pretty fitting sleeve. A well-fitted
sleeve fits squarely around the arm
and gives broad look to the Shout
ders. The fullness at the front and
back should stand out from the arm.

eXa -gerated new styles. Other furs of
course. may also be made over, but as
such muff, when we'll made and of
good material, is not inexpensive, 1t is
not considered wise to use half worn
fur in trimming 1t, unless such fur Is
of the more expensive kinds.
For young girls these large fancy
NUTS are especially attractive. In the
drawing is to be noticed charming
set. mum, hat and collarette, suitable
for young girl. Panne velvet in a
charming shade of blue is used for hat
and muff. the trimming being white
fox. The collarette is of the velvet,
made into three plated ruches and
tied at the side with bow OF satin
ribbon.
Ermine bands are most attractive
used on muffs of the shape shown in
the Illustration. This fur sometimes
seems to look more effective when
used In bands for the trimming of hat
and muff than when 1t is used alone.
On certain shade Of soft and rather
light brown velvet the narrow bands
OF ermine on mum and hat are most
attractive. Mink or sable-sable, II
possible, of course-is also most at.
tractive on brown velvet and satin.

MEMORY OF THE HORSE.
Incidents Which Show How Intelligent
the Animals Are.

That horses have memories which
extend over number of years bas
been aoundantly proved in many in
stances. A friend of mine who was
a lover Of horses took horse from his
home In the state of Maine to New
York city to sell, writes w. w. Maxim
in Farmers Voice. 1t was sold and
kept there in stable for daily use.
Three years afterwards the same man
took another horse there to sell. While
talking with man on the street cor
ner he saw horses head sticking out
of stable window several rods away.
The horse saw him and "whinnied.'
The man went there and found it to
be the same horse he sold three years
before. The horse seemed overjoyed
to see his old master.
My five-year-old mare, which is a
highbred one "a granddaughter OF
Nelson. 2:O9), was brought up to run
with the cattle. When she was a
sucking colt. running with her mother.
tht>e were two young cows with them.
one of them having red and white
heifer calf running with her. The colt
became very much attached to the
calf. The next summer she ran with
these same creatures without her
mother. and the next summer she had
only the red and white calf" that had
become as large as good-sized cow.
The heifer would run with her and
kick up" and play just as she did.
When the heifer was taken out and
sold in the fall the colt became almost
frantic with grief.
This was three years ago. This
past fall a new neighbor moved Into
the next house few rods away,
bringing large red and white COW
that looked very much like the one
she used to have for playmate. This
COW came down the road one day and
looked over the bars where the colt
was. The colt always makes quite a
sensation over cows when they come
along, but 1t is not to be compared
with the demonstrations Of JOY that
she made over this one. After gazing
at her with seeming delight, prancins
and whinnying. she ran around in
circle at great speed for several min
utes. am quite sure she thought ly
ola playmate had come back.
