NEW YORK Dec. 22.-ln these
days of social functions, many cos
tunes are necessary to the modern
woman's wardrobe. 1t is said that in
no country is the theater more gener-
ally patronized than in America,
therefore the theater gown is an inn
portant item to which must he given
some thought. In the smaller towns
one gown may suffice, but in the larger
cities there should be at least one
very dressy costume for the more
elaborate evening performances and
tons and afternoon concerts. And it
should be remembered that there is
distinct difference between the dressy
ball gown and tn regular theater cos
tune.
A very pretty theater gown, de-
velOped for young matron, was IN
pearl gray meteor, and had as foun-
dation strictly plain princess slip of
dull. pale pink silk, over which the
gray meteor was draped with tunic of
black jet net finished on it's lower
edges with a jetted fringe. The tunic
itself was a straight piece of goods and
laid across the front of the gown and
allowed to fall as it would in the back.
The lower part of the skirt and the
train was inset with dainty gray mo-
tifs of gray brocade. The waist was
next the face with a bolero effect of
jet over fold of the gray but the skirt
had been carried up in true princess
style to meet these folds and the yoke
itself With this costume was worn
white marabout neck piece that soft
ened the whole effect and especially
set off the face.
second gown intended for after
noon wear at the theater was of rose
crepe de chine, which formed the main
part of the dress, with a tunic or
apron of satin. The waist and Skin:
Of the satin were cut in apron style
with pointed effect above and below.
Attached to this was a flounce of the
crepe de chine carried up in the back
to meet the panel that extended from

Some of the most progressive beet
growers now finish and market their
steers at from l to years of age, at
about IS months It goes without say
ing that the beef of the young animal
is more tender and appreciated by
er animals inclined to be tough. Baby
beef is now a standard article on all
markets, commanding much better
price than other beef.
There are at least two disadvan-
tages to the grower in finishing and
marketing his steers at an early age
One is that a higher price can be OBJ
tanned for the animals owing to the
meat being of better quality, and the
other is that the young animal makes
more economical gains on feeds than
the older animal This is true Of hogs
too, and all live stock. The young
animal is growing in size and nature
has fitted it to turn nearly all of its
food into flesh and frame
1t seems that very little food is re-
quired for maintenance. The mature
animal may consume a large amount
of feed without making single pound
of gain in fat or flesh All is required
for maintenance of the animal func-
tions. The calf from six months of age
to eighteen months of age can be made
to take on nearly twice as much flesh
on the same feed as is possible to ac-
complish the year following.
Stated in another way, two six
months-old calves fed year will make
double tfc gain of an 1Smonths-old
calf fed a year on the same amount Of
feed The reason for this is that the
younger calves are growing more than
the older calf, and hence utilize the
feed to better advantage.
The farmer who starts into the bust
ness of growing baby beef for the mar
ket should secure some good cows OF
the standard beef breeds for securing
calves that he knows will make good
gains on the feeds furnished and that
will grow to more than a thousand
pounds in IA to IS months with liberal
feeding. Also to make money with
these young animals the grower should
be in love with the business, have
good knowledge of cattle nature in
general and be thoroughly in sympathy
with the animals.
Men who make the greatest success
and the most money with cattle are

And on the other hand. if business
dealings made in the morning had to
be ratified in the evening when the
will is a bit less strong and emotion
more predominant, perhaps we might
have a little less graft.
On the whole. I think that anyone
who made it a rule never to make
irrevocable any decision by lamplight,
moonlight, freight or any other night
light until it has stood the test OF
sunlight or any decision made in the
morning until it had been thought over

WELLS FARGO HAS
A BIG DIVIDEND

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-One of the
richest Christmas packages ever handl-
ed by an express company was opened
today, when the stockholders of Wells,
Fargo & Co, met and decided to dis
tribute among themselves a dividend
of $500 per share, to be paid out of
the accumulated surplus earnings of
the great express concern. The CAPT.
tai stock of the company was in
creased from ss,OOO,OOO to s24,OOO,OOO,
and the $16,O00,00O of new stock will
be distributed among the stockholders
at par The rights to the new stock,
on the basis of the earning capacity of
the company, are estimated to be forth
from s135 to 5000 a share. The stock
is closely held by wealthy families and
is seldom offered for sale.
Up to today's increase Wells. Fargo
had $S,000,000 stock outstanding, and
earned So per cent on it. according r.

Subsequently after the railroads

press lines into railroad lines and
since the civil war especially it has

Ideas For Christmas Parties

With winter children are in the
thick of the party season." So I
thought mothers might be glad to hear
of a few novelties they could intro
duce this year which wodid help to
amuse the little guests.
To have successful children's
party the relative ages Of the guests
must be taken into account when the
form of entertainment is being decided
upon. If it is necessary to have a
number Of little people together whose
ages vary considerably then it is best
to give dance. interspersed with
games, or even if the TIMES cannot
dance they love to hop around and
imagine they can, guided by bigger,
more experienced boy or girl.
Here are a few suggestions which
specially lend themselves to be carried
out in paper: Christmas crackers can
be very delightfully."- initiated in soft
tissue paper, much befringed, while the
palmer cosauues, made of stiff glazed
paper and ornamented with scraps
make excellent designs for boy
Lamp-shades of the frilly, fluffy order
are charming for little girls. as are

pearls are often seen, flowers of gold
tissue and of silver cloth are largely
used to relieve a too somber effect
Steel heads are used extensively as
sort of embroidery throughout the jet
trimmings. Metal and gold tissue
flowers are being offered at most rea-
sonable rates and are used to decorate
the front of the waist or for catching
up a point of the drapery. Indeed
clusters and long trails Of these flow
ers are used on both the theater and
the evening gowns, not as a garni-
ture, but as a trimming effect. .
A smart suit for wear to church
entertainment or morning concert or
lecture is a good investment for
woman who attends many affairs of
the kind, as it is great saving for
the more elaborate and perishable af-
ternoon gown.
A practical gown of this sort was
distinctly made in two parts. The
waist and skirt were made on two
separate foundations. The outer ma
terial of the bodice was made with
surplice effect outlined with a wide
band of embroidery. 1t opened at the
neck over a shallow V-shaped yoke of
embroidered chiffon topped with a
high collar Closed in the center of
the front the waist was separate from
the skirt, which was made with
shallow yoke that dipped into two
sharp points both in the back and the
front and outlined with the embroid-
cred banding used on the waist. The
lower part of the skirt was laid in in
verted plaits under each of these
points. The color used was blue of
deep, rich shade. and the material
cashmere of a delightful quality, which
was not too fine to hang well in
suit or too coarse to appear dressy.
Some of the poplins are very we'll
adapted for suits of the dressier sorts
intended for wear at afternoon and
morning functions and they are often
made in a style that requires only
few extra furs for outside to make
them warm enough to wear without
a coat 1t would appear at times that
women left off their coats without any
reason or sense and on other days

11a,,a Won a double personality?
r. Won haven't 1 don't think you're

For I find that the average person
has a dual personality-one for the
morning and one for the evening.
Mind you, 1 don't mean to say that
peopIe are any better or any worse in
the morning or the evening.
Just different
According to the philosophers we
are all made up of three qualities
intellect and will and emotion.
Now will and intellect are keen
eyed things that are apt to see best
in the strong sunlight, but emotion
is a night own sort of affair that sees
much better by lamplight and best of
all by freight or moonlight.
In other words, most of us are a
great deal more creatures of emotion
at night than in the daytime.
Take your own case. for instance.
Haven't you ever. as you stood in
the strong morning light in front of

are of the feminine gender, or adjust

The successful business man in any
line is the one who is constantly in the

The secret of growing baby beef is
in good animals by breeding and goou

comes very early in spring, and by
keeping the stock from a, field OF II
from midsummer till late fall it will
grow up and may be pastured all

that will take the place of green pas

the neck to the train. The waist con-

was also used for the sleeves,

Black gowns for theater wear seem
to be very fashionable and at per-

are some women who never look bitter
than when gowned in some rich de-
velopment of black There are Sc
many beautiful materials offered this
winter that if one can wear this color
they may have several handsome
gowns without any appearance of
sameness.
Black satin gowns are extremely
fashionable this season and they GER
tainly make one of the smartest cos
tunes one can have. 1t must be re-
membered that the satin of today is
not the stiff stuff of some years ago. 1t
is of many varieties and sometimes
one would hardly recognize it under
the name of satin. but it always has
the quality of suppleness and the drap-
ing capacity.
The satin gowns of this season are
usually draped in some manner with
embroidered net or chiffon covered
with a jersey-like bodice of heavy en-
broidery. Jet, as has been said In
these letters before, is used largely
in the make up of the black gown and
it is especially effective on the sat
ms of this color.
Almost any effect can be gained by
the jet garnitures now offered by the
manufacturers. There are straight
garnitures that may be used for panels
that fall straight from the neck to the
feet, there are the narrower widths
that are used for outlining the pan
els of the materials or for headings of
tunics and of f1ouncings. Some very
beautiful Jokes and boleros and other
sorts of waist pieces and trimmings
for the sleeves are shown in great
profusion.

bined with other colors, the imitation

themselves to paper manipulation. The
great thing in making up all paper cos
tunes is to have a good strong paper
as foundation, on to which the outer
Another pretty idea for a children's
ball is to have each little visitor repre-
sent some nation, in garments made
from either cotton or linen. This is
again inexpensive matter which /
feel sure will appeal to the average
mother of a growing family, for it is a
senseless waste to expend much money
on a fancy costume for child who in
a few short months at most will have
outgrown it. Just as dainty results
can be got with art linens or simple
cottons and they have the double ad-
vantage of often being easily utilized
when the summer comes round again.
When the children have reached ten
or twelve sometimes it is a little diff
cult to find forms of entertainment for
them-when one only wishes to invite
a limited number of friends. The fol-
lowing notion appeals to me as very
suitable for such an occasion:
Sit the little guests at intervals round
a big table upon which you have placed
the requisite number of the following
articles-a plain postcard, small
heap of foreign and other used stamps,
a pair of scissors, pen, ink and a little
paste or gum. With these materials a
pictorial postcard must be achieved
within given time. the various stamps
being cut up to help to form patterns
or pictures, joining strokes. etc, being
put in with pen and ink.
For example, l saw a pretty picture

series of the scene were all made from
suitable pieces cut out of various
stamps and fitted together The fin
ished effect was charming Foreign
stamps lend themselves best to the
making of pictures, but some Of our
. own more uncommon ones are also very
useful. Little prizes for the best COM
pleted postcards add greatly to the
interest of the evening
