BRAIDING As A FINE ART,
Hand Work That Is Really Worth
While Doing Well.

Don't hurry and do think If you do
not use your brain you will not be
able to braid successfully. Keep your
mind on your pattern and on it's care
full development.
Remember that it is, to some extent,
a work of art; anything well designed
and thoughtfully executed by hand is
work of art.
In braiding. sew in the stitches so
that the needle sticks back into al
most the same thread of the braid
from which it has been pulled, almost
concealing the sewing; sew closely, so
the braid does not "wabble." Use your
mind at every turn of the braid, al
ways remembering to make sharp cor
hers if they are so designed, never for
getting to keep the shape of the long
curves, and, above all, not losing sight
of the spirit of the pattern. In select
ing the braid have a thought as to it's
pliability, and don't take a match that
doesn't match,

Now comes the collapsible umbrella
Closed up in it's compact case, it is no
more than II inches long. Opened on
a rainy day or carried carelessly un-
der ones arm, it is just the usual
sort Of sturdy umbrella. The collapse
happens only when certain springs
and buttons are manipulated, and
after a little practice the umbrella
may be opened or bent into it's 11-inch
dimension at will. Unlike the folding
umbrellas Of several years past, which
could be packed in suit case, the
collapsible umbrella may be tucked in
a travelling bag or even into a muff
or overcoat pocket.

Cats and Ships,

ton legend, may quite well have orig
mated in commercial enterprise. Aca.
demic explanations of what has since
become famous pantomime hero are
not nearly so plausible, really, as the
more obvious one. Why suggest learn
edly that cat meant a collier ship, that
it was intended as a symbol, and so
on? 1t is far more likely that Whit.
tington made his first successful deal
with a cat; since We know that .
shipwrecked Portuguese sailor, when
washed ashore with the ship cat, sold
it for it's weight in gold to the king
Of Guinea; that companion of Pi-
zarro paid large sums for the first cat

board. Certainly, the children would
not exchange their pantomime cat for
any symbol; they will have nothinp

DYED Waists.

Many women are having white or
ecru waists dyed to match their tailor
mades. Net and lace are probably the
most used waist materials this season
The soft satins, such as messaline, are
a good deal seen, but they are usually
heavy with soutache. The vogue for
waists of the color of the suit with
which they are worn has led to the in
PRODUCTION of colored French crepo and
other cottons. Colored pongee is still
employed, but when used, even in
tailor-made blouses, is sure to be elab-
Grated with braid. Even the nets are
trimmed with braid. Some of the hand
soonest ones, in fact, are so finished.

ASSISTS AT A BUFFALO HUNT

When Pa told us that he had To-
Gated a place where we could get all
the wild African buffalo that we
wanted, thought of the pictures had
seen of the killing of buffalos in Amer
lea, where all the buffalo hunter had
to do was to ride horse after a herd
OF the animals, that couldn't run faster
than a yoke of oxen, pick out a big
bull and ride long side of him and
fire bullets into his vital parts at about
ten feet range, until his liver was
hlled full of holes, and he had the
nose bleed, and when he fell down
from loss of blood, dismount and skin
him for lap robe. The American buf-
falo would always run away and the
hunter could kill him If he had cart
ridges enough, and never be in any
more danger than farmer milking

MAKES NECK LOOK thinner.
Arrangement of Locket Will Be Found
to Work Wonders.

A locket down the center of the
back when wearing a low-cut frock
will make the neck look thinner. This
is good news for the girl with fat
back. T*''f
If she thinks a locket too exagger-
ated she can wear a chain with a pend.
ant fastener, whose ends hang down
over the nape of the neck.
Another way to improve the appear.
arce Of fat back is to wear the hair
in a low knot on the nape of the neck.
The shape of the neck of the dress
should be Y rather than round or
square, if the shoulders are full and
feshy.
The tulle ruches that have the choux
directly in the center of the back, with
several ends falling down from it, also
have knack of making the back look
Simmer, though they are fatal to the
appearance of a short neck.

marsh Pa said now was the time to
fire the Roman candles, so we each
lit our candle, and the fire and smoke
and the fire balls fairly scorched the
hair of the buffalos in the rear of the
herd, and in a jiffy the whole herd
stampeded out of the marsh right to-
ward the fence, believing in African
language, scared half to death, the
first instance on record that an A.
rican buffalo was afraid of anything
on earth.
We followed them until they got to
the fence, but only about 100 got into
the corral, the others going around
the fence and chasing the keepers into
the jungle and hooking the negroes in
the pants, and some of the negroes are
running yet, and will no doubt come
out at Cairo, Egypt.

same kind of experience with African
buffalo, only we intended to lassO
them, and bring them to camp alive
for the show business, but instead of
the African buffalo running away from
you, he runs at you on sight, and tries
to gouge out your inside works with
his horns, and paws you with his
hoofs, and when he gets you down
he kneels down on you, and runs horns
all through your SYSTEM and rolls over
on your body like setter dog rolling
on an old dead fish,
The African buffalo has a crouch,
as though he had indigestion, from eat
ing cactus thorns, and when he sees
a man his eyes blaze with fire, and he
gets as crazy as an anarchist. and
seems to combine in his makeup the
habits Of the hyena, the tiger, the
man-eating shark and the Texas rat
tle-snake.
l wouldn't want such an animal for
pet, but Pa said the way to get buf-
falo was to go after them, and never
let up until you had them under your
control. So We started out under Pas
lead to capture African buffalo, and
while the returns are not all in of the
dead and wounded, We know that our
expedition is pretty near used up.
The African buffalos live in a marsh,
where the grass and cane grow high
above them, and the only way you
can tell where they are is to watch the
birds Aviro nd 01
the backs of the animals to eat wood
ticks and gnats. The marsh is so
thick with weeds that a man cannot
go into it, so we planned to start the
airship on the windward side of the
marsh, after lining up the whole force
OF helpers, negroes and white men,
and building corral of timber on the
lee side of the marsh. Pa and the
cowboy and went in the airship, with
these honk-honk horns they have on
automobiles, and these megaphones
that are used at football games, and
Pa had bunch of Roman candles to
scare the buffalos.
When the fence was done, which so
men had worked on for a week. it run
in the shape of triangle, or a fish
net, with a big corral at the middle.
Mr.. Hagenbach sent up a rocket to
notify Pa that he was ready to have
him scare the buffalos out of the
marsh and down the fence into the
corral
Pa had the gas bag all full, a mile
across the marsh, tied to a tree with
slip moose, so when we all got set
he could pull a string and unite the
slip moose.
Well, everything worked bully, and
when Pa tied her loose we went up
into the air about so feet, and Pa
steered the thing up and down the
marsh like pointer dog ranging a
field for chickens.
1t was the greatest sight I ever
witnessed, seeing more than 200 buf-
falo heads raise up out of the tall
grass and watch the airship, looking
as savage as lions eating raw meat.
First they never moved at all, but
we began to blow the honk horns, and
then We yelled through the mega
phones to ''get out of there, you sawed
off short horns," and then they began
to move away from the airship across
the marsh, and we followed until they
began to get into a herd, nearly on
the other side of the marsh, but they
only walked fast, splashing through
the mud.

CURES COLDS QUICKLY

A never failing home remedy for
coughs and colds is made from the fol.
lowing formula to be mixed at home.
1.-TWO ounces OF glycerine, one-half
ounce Of Concentrated pine compound,
one-half pint of good whiskey: mix and
shake thoroughly; use in doses of a
teaspoonful to a tablespoonful every
four hours"
Thus will cure any cough that is cur
able. or break up an acute cold in
twenty-four hours. The ingredients all
can be gotten at any drug store.
The Concentrated pine is a3pine prod
uct refined for medical use and comes
only in half ounce bottles, each en-

SASH HAS BECOME POPULAR.
10 Now Seen on Dresses Of Every
Material and Character.


The next striking feature in the new
dress is the sash, which appears on
dresses of every material and char
acter. It is like the dress, or it is jet
black soft satin or crepe. It swathes
the waist or drapes the corsage; forms
bretelles and ceinture, or cross-waist
draperies, dropping at the side of the
front; or it hangs to the foot of the
dress ct the back in long tasseled or
fr1nged ends. Momentarily, at least,
the black sash is considered a little
more striking than those that match
the costume; but flowered sashes and
belts are preferred for the evening or
reception gown. The newest idea is
the adapting of the bayadere tying of
plain or fowered crepe or silk sashes.
They are caught up at the waist line
In the back, and brought to the front,
where they are loosely knotted, as low
as the knot Of an eastern dancers

Lace and Fur.

Some clever person has hit upon an
idea of raising the popular fur turban
from the commonplace to the artistic
by using trimming of fine black
chantilly lace in the form of a larae
fiat rosette set on the left side.
1t does not sound particularly fasci-
mating, but the fluffy mass secured to
the hat with a pair Of handsome hat
pins needs to be seen in order to be
appreciated. BY it's side the fedther
trimmed or flower decked lynx hat be-
comes actually odious by comparison.
