lovely restraint which is shown in the
ity of ornament, a gushing abandon as
you might say, that brings a blucA to
the modest cheek. Is it possible you
think, any woman would wear such
horrid things! When garments in
coarse lawn and cambria are trim
med in this way they seem so inap-
propriate, that only to look on them
dulls the appetite for elaborate lin
gerie. Let me be plain forever more, :"
you growl, land go forth with a null
like petticoat, treated only to hens
and tucks."
The best results in lingerie are cor.
respondingly attractive, and the end.
less variety of materials now used for
the purpose gives a gratifying variety.
Fancy lawn skirts, founced with dot
ted muslin or cross-barred muslin, and
nightgowns, chemises and underbodies
are all made of these dainty weaves.
The expensive batistes and dimities,
the crinkled crepes and handkerchief
lawns once regarded as exclusively for
outside wear, are now used for all
kinds of under-garments.
With lawns, linen and cotton same
new insertions that look like canvas
are much used and several kinds of
lace appear on a single petticoat Taste
full monograms in hand embroidery are
now de rigeur, and ribbons are run
through a lawn insertion with Sits of
the exact width.
With the exception of the joining Of
the seams, which is done by ma
chine, every garment constructed in
perfect taste should be made by hand.
A delicate touch of color sometimes
appears in the figured dimities, but the
general preference is for all white.
with only the ribbons tinted.
The illustration comprises a very
smart petticoat and corset cover of
nainsook. The skirt is gored, and the
two cuts show it may be made either
with a deep or narrow flounce. For
a dressy costume the f1ounce could
be of lawn, with lace instead of the
cambria trimmings, shown herewith.
The underbodice is hand embroidered.
and can be made in a single piece, ex.
cept the tail, for the tucks at the sides
fit it into the figure.
Good undervests for summer are of
Isle or Italian silk-the vests which
are not ribbed. Three of a very ex.
cellent gauze-lisle can be had for a
dollar, and one dollar and twenty-five
cents will buy a dainty silk vest with
a lace edge and ribbon drawstrings.

Start the hens out early with a

The more active the hens the more
water they will drink.
There is no possible way of de-

In killing and dressing pigeons,
handle them gently to avoid bruising.
Don't neglect to give the hens
plenty of clear, cold water at this
time of the year.
A healthy hen is always ready for
her meals, and is the one that fills
the egg basket.
Rightly handled leghorns are mag
nificent layers, but in some respects
are rather obstinate.
Squads may be dressed when want

fresh and wholesome condition.
The young turkeys that have been
able to reach the first of this month
in a good, healthy condition, are per-

No one ever saw hen refuse to

the way the fowls eat it.
Field peas coarsely ground added to
ground feed for fowls, or small quanti-
ties ground with the food so prepared,
is said to be a valuable addition.
In a market fowl the breast is the
main thing, but in order to obtain
desirable breast it is necessary to
have a good body first.
1t will be time well spent to white

If ducks are raised for market pur-
poses they will bring as much when
they are ten or twelve weeks old as
at any other time.
Ducks and geese should be killed by
bleeding in the mouth or opening the
veins of the neck. The best markets
demand this method of killing.
Turn the hens into the alfalfa field.
They will pick up lots of insects, be-
sides weed seeds, and the alfalfa will
supply their steady diet day after day,
and they will never tire of it.

A RoticeIIi Headdress.

There is a headdress affected by
women of regular features and small,
thin faces. This is a kind OF Italian
couture founded probably in the Bot
ticelli scheme All the hair on the
crown of the head is rolled up to form
chignon that stands out long way
from the head in a direct line with the
nose, says Hairdressers' Journal If
the, hair is not sufficient to make a
firm, thick chignon, a "crepon" is
wound in it or a thick pad of some
sort. The arrangement must be very
neat, the hair being brushed upward
and standing out well. The top and
sides are treated separately with a
parting, either on top or at the side,
while the hair is, besides, lightly pulled
out over the ears. Those who like
the wave apply the iron to this part,
so as to produce deep, soft undula-
lions, which bring an effect of light
and shade into the scheme.

PREPARE DUCKS FOR MARKET
Number of Things to Be Carefully
Observed in Order to Get Birds
in Excellent Shape.
(Rv W. r. GILBERTO


1t should be the aim of those who
require early ducklings for the market
to have stock birds in full lay by the
end of October or the first Of Novem-
ber-that is, before the severe wealth
er sets in.
In order to accomplish this the feed
ing during September and October
must be carefully attended to and the
nutritious rather than fattening food
be provided for the birds.
BY this time last years ducks should
have quite overcome the mott and
should have their full complement of
feathers.
AS far as possible an abundance of
exercise should be allowed the birds,
and this can only satisfactorily be ar
ranged when a free range is provided.
The chief danger of combining them is
that under such conditions they are
liable to add on flesh too quickly, and
on no account should stock ducks be
fat.
The difficulty can, of course, be
overcome by feeding sparingly upon
somewhat bulky foods.
Two meals day will be found quite
sufficient, one the first thing in the
morning and the other about $3.50 or
4 in the afternoon.
Soft food should be provided for the
morning meal and a mixture during
this and the succeeding month which
we have employed with success is
two parts of the middlings, one of the
barley meal, one of bran and one of
brewers grains.
At first there may be a slight diff
Guilty in persuading the birds to eat
the last mentioned, but they speedily
become accustomed to the flavor and
eat it readily.
A mixture such as this will keep
the ducks in good store condition and
will assist egg production at the pro
per time. No hard or fast rule can be
laid down as to the actual amount of
food to be supplied, as this varies
with the breed and the conditions IN
der which the birds are being kept
and with the season.
The only thing to do is to periodic
ally examine them, and if too fat re-
duce the quantity of food; if too lean
increase it.
The mash should be given to the
birds not in a sloppy but crumbly,
moist condition. 1t the former state
too much unnecessary water has to
be taken into the system.
The soft food should always be sup
piled warm.
For the afternoon feeding either
hard grain or mash may be supplied.
Personally I prefer the latter, but
many breeders are in favor of the
former
Should grain be provided oats are
the best for the purpose, which should
be scattered upon the drinking water.
Good sample oats much be used as
otherwise there is too much husk. If
mash is employed-and the'two may be
fed on alternate days-the same mix
ture as that for the morning feed will
answer well.
If the birds are becoming rather too
fat, the proportion of bran should be
increased and the barley meal de-
creased.
The soft food should always be fed
from a trough, otherwise so much is
trampled on and made unfit for con-
sumption.

MATCHED COSTUME STYLISH
One Color Effect Attractive, but II Is
Not Always Within Reach
of AL

In the latest modes there are only
two ColOrs, a background shade and
an ornamental one, and the latter is
matched through the whole costume.
Let US suppose, for instance, that
the costume is green and gray. 1t is a
three-piece suit, gray, with collars and
cuffs of green, a green hem reaching
almost to the knees, and a green silk
frin and PieTrot collar and cuffs on the
low-necked and short-sleeved blouse.
The hat is gray straw. with plumes
or Alsatian bow of green; the veil
gray, with green figures, perhaps in
the new comet design. The gloves are
gray with green stitching.
Even the silk underskirt carries out
this idea. It is changeable green and
gray or gray with a green ruf1e. Shoes
and stockings are both green, or per-
haps the shoes are gray suede oxfords.
with green silk lacing.
The parasol is gray with a deep hem
border of green satin, always in the
same shade, so that there is no ugly
divergence in color. And all the jew
elry accessories, the belt buckle. the
hatpfns. the chain around the neck,
are green artificial emeralds or jade.
Perhaps the metal setting is of old
silver jewels.
And the same idea is applied to all
other colors. 1t is wonderfully effec-
tive. though perhaps bit out of the
reach of the woman who has one suit
a season unless she dresses always in
the same colors.
But even she may manage it by
careful planning, and it is stunning
enough to be worth while.
