They have their own hogs and cows, and most of them will kill enough meat this winter to run them an other year.

Caution as to Fur.
FRILLs FOR GIRLS

Now that fur and maribou are so
popular for trimming evening gowns
it may be well to give a word of eau
ton as to it's arrangement.
For instance, the cuff of fur finishing
the short sleeves is exceedingly fasci-
mating when seen ON the display figure,
but unless a woman has an especially
good figure it is seldom becoming, be-
cause the bands cut the figure and in
cidentally shorten it. When one is
In doubt the better plan will be to take
a narrow fur and trim the sleeve in
snake fashion, starting at the lower
edge, midway between the inner seam
of the sleeve and the outward edge of
the arm, passing under the latter and
appearing again in the front. an inch
or more above the lower edge.
The upper band stops about two
inches from the inner seam of the
sleeve.
Tiny rosettes or fancy jeweled but
tons may finish the ends Of the fur.
