AS a result of the increase in the
states appropriation for the third
district fair it will be possible to Of
fer more premiums and higher ones
to exhibitors next fall. In speaking
OF the plans of the fair commission.
c. E. Roosevelt, president OF the
board, said:
"As soon as the legislative session
is completed and 1t is known beyond
question that the state appropriation
will be increased from $500 to $4,000
we will begin the revision Of our
premium list. With the increased
money for premiums we will be able.
to secure a wider range of exhibits.
and also to give more suitable awards

1t is suggested by Mr.. Roosevelt

which come and go with the changes
of the other fashions, it is rather pleas
ant to think of making something that
will last and that can be passed down
to succeeding generations just as the
charming examples of our grandmoth-
ers' handiwork have been passed down
to us.
There is no especial skill required in
the making of these bead bags. Any
one who can sew on a button and
can count up to 500 can do IT.. But
in the case of the crocheted bags
at least the counting is very serious
matter, for all the beads must be
strung before the work begins, and the
mistake of single bead will throw the
entire pattern out OF order The
crocheted bags have a great deal to
recommend them; they are more flexible
than those made in any other way, and
any of the other bead bags. They are
also very duraDle. Hather nne twist
is used for crocheting the bags, and
the end of this is waxed In order to
string the tiny seed beads upon 1t. The
beads are counted in rows straight
across the pattern. stringing the colors
as they come, and when the end is
reached going back on the row above
it, just as you would in crocheting.
When all the beads are strung, fine
steel crochet hook is used, and after
chain longer than is needed has been
made, the first row of beads Is
crocheted into it. making one stitch OF

bead, and SO on across the row OF

II He questions OF what to do for the
hair and how to arrange it are al
ways OF special interest TO women
Beautiful hair attractively dressed often
constitutes the only claim that woman
has to beauty, a sufficient claim we are
inclined to grant, for the plainest fea-
lures can be made interesting by a
graceful arrangement OF the softly wav-
ing aureole that surrounds them.
The "raving, tearing beauty" can af-
ford TO dress her hair any way she
chooses, at the dictates of fashion or of
her own caprice. but she is only found
IN the proportion Of about one out of
every thousand. and the remaining sss
women need 10 take their features into

pearance TO do so.
The woman with prominent nose
does not want to wear a Psyche knot,
which viii give her profile the appear

the woman with an insignificant or

on top going over, and on the bottom
going back across the next row, so
that all the beads will be on the same
side of the crocheted material
One of the most exquisite of bead
bags lately seen in one of the shops
was crocheted of gold and silver (steeD
beads, in design of silver scrolls on
a gold background AS in the case of all
the other bags, the bottom was finished
with most attractive fringe of the
beads. and a similar fringe was used
with rings and a gold chain, instead of
being mounted in a metal frame like
most of the bags.
The designs for beadwork, which
can be purchased in the embroidery
departments of the stores where sup
plies for the work are kept, are done
in water color on paper which is di-
vided up into squares; each of the
squares is about four times the size of
a bead so that the eyes may be strained
as little as possible in following the
pattern. 1t is quite possible for any
one to make her own designs on spe-
cially prepared paper called cross sec
tfon paper; this can be purchased at
any store where drawing materials are
sold. The squares on the paper meas
ure about a sixteenth of an inch and
each square represents a bead.
quicker and simpler way of maxi
ing the bags than by crocheting is
to sew the beads upon canvas; this is
the method used in the French bead
work, and except that 1t is not quite
as flexible as the crocheted method, it
is almost as satisfactory and In many
cases can not be distinguished from 1t.
The best foundation for the sewed
beadwork is number one railroad can
vas; a regular bead needle, number is,
very long and as fine as a hair is used,
and cotton thread of a medium size.
In order to give all the beads the
proper slant from left to right, which
you will notice In all good examples
of sewed beadwork, each row must be
commenced at the right hand side and
the needle passed under two threads
of the canvas vertically; this will give
the stitch, which lies on top of the
material and which holds the bead,
slant from lower right to upper left,
and all of the beads in the pattern must
lie in exactly this way. A cheaper and
less attractive kind of beadwork Is
done by taking two beads on the needle

F you should suggest to many pho
tographers, professionals as well as
amateurs, the idea of taking por-
traits of children, you would find that
instead of meeting the suggestion with
enthusiasm they would exhibit some
thing very much like panic. Yet those
who have made a practice of photo
graphing children say that not only are
they more attractive subjects for pho
Biography than adults, but. also that
they are quite as easy to manage and
arrange If they are rightly handled; !;
they are less conscious of their looks
when in front of the camera and they
are far more naturally graceful and
adaptable.
From to years is the best age for
picture taking; then the little folks are
full of imagination and fancy and they
are as playful and unconscious as kit
tens.
The most satisfactory place for max
ing picture of child is at home, and
that is where the amateur photog-
rapher-the woman with camera
has an advantage over the profess
sional. At the studio all the unusual
arrangements and the fact that 1t is a
strange place makes it hard to get a
natural, and impossible to get a lively
or jolly, portrait. At home it is easier,
but even there you must be quick about

actual picture taking. for when the
child becomes tired or bored that is the
end of good results.
1t often happens that well intentioned
relatives go with children to the pho
tographer's ITO help arrange them." and
straighten every crease. and fold and
flatten every bow, until the photog-
rapher is in despair. for by that time
the child's spontaneity is gone and
stiffness and self consciousness have
taken its place.
Occasionally, but happily not very
often, the children themselves insist
upon posing and looking sweet. al
though this is apt to be when they are
rather more than years old. About
the only thing that can be done in a
case of this kind is to use little STRAIT
egy and pretend to take the picture.
then when the affectation and the
sweetness have gone and the child has
become natural again you can make the
real exposure.
1t is the best plan to treat the whole
thing as a game and to keep the idea
of the camera out of the little folks
minds as much as possible. Make up
some play or story. and when they have
taken the right positions contrive to
press the button, and there you will
have them in often a really charming
and natural grouping.
The lighting is a subject that trou-
bIes amateur photographers a good
deal, but If you can place the subject in

west window on one side and one or
more north windows on the other, very
good lighting effects can be obtained

this style has not yet been accepted

The extremely large barrettes of last

The woman who has a camera at

Photographing very young infants Is

Even a third of a second is sometimes

forget me nots and myrtle. garlands
and bowknots, landscapes taken from
the cross stitch samplers and similar
patterns, which give an old time ap-
pearance to the work, are the favorites.
But patterns of another character are
also used, such as conventional or
geometrical designs, and graceful
and silver bag which we have mem
toned. There is unlimited opportunity
in beadwork for artistic effects In both
design and color, and some. of the new
and costly French bags which have
been specially imported to accompany
certain costumes. are wonderfully
beautiful The fringes of the bead bags
are in almost all cases very attractive;
they are often In scalloped effect, and
made in the colors of the background;
an openwork netting is quite a favorite
pattern, but straight fringes are also
used.
One of the newest developments in
bead work is the use of Indian beads
for bags and purses; of course. for this
the Indian designs and colors are
chosen. A bag of this kind, shown in
the illustration. has a background of
brown polished wooden beads crossed
by vertical stripes of green glass beads.
The conventional Indian design with
which 1t is decorated has a double outer
row or white glass beads, then row
of greenish blue wooden beads, a double
row of yellow beads and in the center
a cut glass garnet bead, and the same
colors are repeated in the fringe. The
gold frame Is richly jeweled with gar
nets.
Another of the bags illustrated has
floral design in the center of pink,
red, blue and green beads on a back

extend into the white center and also
