EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Five nice looking girls. evidently
college or high school girls on
''toot," filed into the matinee car the
other day and sat down opposite me.
They were all apparently girls in
about the same circumstances and
they were evidently all in their best
bibs and fuckers.
And yet, one of these girls instant
ly impressed me as distinctively well
dressed, and at no one of the others,
had she been alone instead of in an
attention compelling group, would I
have glanced twice.
Presumably this girl was better off
and had spent more money on her
gown than the rest. you suggest.
If that had been SO, would there
have been anything that should write
about in this incident?
No, don't believe her costume cost
one cent more money than the other
girls.
Indeed, as she wore a simple blue
broadcloth and one girl wore corduroy
and another velvet and another a fur
coat, I would say that her gown was
among the least expensive.
That she was the best dressed was
the instant impression that I received
told myself why I felt that way.
And then I studied it out and this
was the way of it
No, instead of telling you why she
was Inc pest OTeSS0Q, / IIllnK L IL tell
you why the other girls weren't.
I'll take them one by one.
First, the girl in the brown cordu-
roy. Her suit was handsome and
she had a nice hat to match but one
of the wings in the hat was broken
and there was a big hole in her veil.
The girl in the blue velvet was
stunningly gowned but her shoes
needed polishing terribly and were so
painfully run over at the heels, that
| as you looked at her, you could think
of nothing else.
The girl in the fur coat and blue
house gown had several bad spots
on the hem of the gown and a
breadth Of raggedly petticoat showing
below.
The girl in the amethyst broadcloth
had a hole in her gloves. very soiled
ruching and her hat was painfully in
need of brushing.
While the girl in the blue broadcloth
had not a single flaw about her.
Her shoes and gloves were perfect
(Im sure she used shoe trees)
Her dress and hat had not a speck of
dust or spot upon them. Her shirt
waist was immaculate. There was no.
where the vaguest suggestion of a loose
end about her.
Did you ever hear Michael Angeles
epigram of perfection?
"Trifles," said this great artist,
make perfection; but perfection is no
trifle."
He probably wasn't thinking of
gowning when he said it,, but 1t fits

A new fashion for muffs and scarfs

out against the Audubon association

ton of cruelty to animals by insisting
that their precious existence could be
maintained only through the wearing
of furs during the cold weather, but
if the new style prevails to any extent,

Good Fly Remedy.

The following is recommended as a
good homemade fly remedy: Resin.
1 u pounds; laundry soap, two cakes;
fish OIL half pint; enough water to
make three gallons. Dissolve the
resin in a solution Of soap and water
by heating, add the fish oil and the
rest Of the water. Apply with brush.
If to be used as a spray, add a half
pint of kerosene. This mixture will
cost seven to eight cents per gallon
and may be used on cows or calves.
One-half pint of this mixture is con-
sidered enough for one application for
a COW; calf, OF course, would re-
quire considerably less. Two or three
applications week will be sufficient
until the outer ends of the hair be
come coated with resin. After that.

GREAT VALUE OF DAIRY SIRE
important That Cali Should Have
Good Percentage on Both Sides
Pure Breed Are Costly.
(By r. B. Roe)


Raising the heifer calves Of good.
high-producing cows, is great funda-
mental requisite for the best and
easiest improvement of a dairy herd.
But those calves will take their
qualities from both parents, and it is
equally important that each calf
should have good parentage on the
male side. But an inspection of many
dairy herds will show that compare
lively little attention is paid to the
quality of the sire.
/ have too often seen herds in
which the heifer calves were raised
for future cows, but in which the
bulls used were miserable little scrubs
and weddings, obtained by simply
saving grade calf from the herd
And of many other sires, fairly
good as individuals, nothing Is known
of the actual milk production OF their
female ancestors.
There are as l view 1t two princi-
pie reasons for this. One is that I'M
der the custom of selling the calves
for veal II does not make much DIFF
ference about their breeding. But as
this custom must be changed by sue
cessful dairymen and the best heller
calves raised for cows, It becomes nee
essary to provide good sires.
But another great reason is that
the pure-bred sire costs more money.
Underlying both these is the funda-
mental reason that many dairymen
do not yet realize the wonderful i'm
provement that can be wrought by a
good head of the herd.

Maklnu a Garden.

Keep the hoe going IN dry weather
and you will not need the watering
pot often.
The wheel hoe will save many a
backache and do the work of three
hand hoes.
Plant the rows all one way-north
and south-so the sun can strike both
sides.
Do not plant short rows, but let
them run the whole length OF the
garden II need be-why not?
Wild strawberries have the most
delicious flavor. They are easily
transplanted to the garden.
