A SOUVENIR
From The Sun Kissed Land OF Raj

dubon County Couple new
RaiSin' RaiSinS.

A few years ago while passing
through Extra, to and from the
farm owned by George Gray near
Greenfield, John O'Leary then
Boss of the Ranch" (Gray's Ranch)
in Cameron township, was smitten
with the charms of an Extra young
lady, Miss Rose McClain, daughter
of DR.. McClaln OF this city and eis-
ter of George McClain, when finally
they were married and ultimately
moved to the Pacific Coast.
For many years Mr.. O'Leary was
a very successful salesman of bug
gies and finally became manager of
branch house of carriage COM
paDy. From the sample of fruit
etc received today, we infer he is
raisin' raisins of which Ebert Hub
bard says "The extreme prices of
meats and breadstuffs are giving
California raisins their innings."
The raisin is the finest food that
grows. 1t cannot be adulterated.
Confectionery has it's disadvanta-
ges but your children will find raj
sins a natural, Heaven prepared
food. Mr.. O'Leary is now located
in Fresno and advises every body to
"eat Fresno raisins the year round.

When the Stork Appears

The babies Of today are not logged
out in the foolish frilleries and f1neries
that were thought so very long ago to
be of paramount Importance in the
layette. The 1910 infant arrives at a
moment IN which the admirable virtue
OF common sense Is applauded, and it
Is therefore made neither the victim
Of fads nor the martyr Of experiments.
Weighty clothes find no place In the
modern infants wardrobe. but after
many controversies against long clothes
Of the baby's earliest months the con-
ciusion has been reached that the old
fashioned sweeping robes shall be re-
tanned with long sleeves rather than
the sho<t ones, which recently have
been in vogue.
Up TO the minute mothers have
adopted the bag idea OF clothing for
the newborn infant, which idea is be-
ing used in several baby hospitals and
public nurseries. When the bag is
used all clothes are dispensed with ex-
cept the band diaper. This bag is a
simple square of flannel of a soft, fine
quality fitted In the shoulders and
opening at the hem by means of snap
fasteners, like those on gloves. The
bag is made long and wide to enable
the little legs and arms to move at
ease The extra width, says a hospi-
tai nurse, is gathered into a short
shoulder seam like the top of a sleeve,
ana as the child grows older the side
seam is ripped open for a couple of
inches and faced so the arms may be

THE HOUSE SHE'D BUILD.

You probably know the woman who
Is thinking of building house for her
self-the woman who goes around with
her shopping bag filled with memoran-
da and notes of "hints for building pur-
poses" This woman has ideas at va
rance with those of her architect. The
following are some of the ideas which
she had adjusted: She wanted a low,
unbroken roof line. The builder admit
ted that it would be more artistic than
fat or conventionally slanted one but
he pointed out that the sleeping rooms
would not be convenient, cool or COM
Portable and that such a roof would
cost more than one of the less pictur-
esque type.
Another idea that this woman had
| Strengthened out for her was about the
framework Of the house. She was told
that this framework is the skeleton and
the plumbing, flues, pipes, ETC., are the
ctrculatory system and that If these
parts Of house were carefully planned
save much time and expense in the con-
struction of a building.
She also discovered that, having de-
cided upon the amount of money to be
| expended upon the house, she would
have to allow generous proportion fo1
the foundation, frame, chimneys, heat
ing and ventilating. This should be
| done even at the expense Of the finish
Then every pipe, fue and wire would
be placed in the right position and be
supported and surrounded by the right
material

TO THREAD NEEDLES.

Here is a useful device invented by
clever woman. 1t should have a
place on every woman's sewing table.
Get block of wood two or three inches
square, a double pointed tack Oilke the
kind used in matting) and a small
folding reading or magnifying glass.
Open the glass and lay the cover on
top of the block of wood, let the glass
project it's full size over the size of the
block, then fasten in place with the
tack. If a block of wood is not OBJ
tainable use an empty spool Of basting
thread size.
When you want to thread a small
sized needle hold the needle and the
thread under the glass and you will
have no trouble in getting it through
the eye. When you use the machine
tip the block over near the needle and
save time and trouble there also.
These blocks are invaluable for ED
erly women and those too busy to
bother with threading and unthread-
ing needles continually. A good plan
is to thread before starting to sew all
the needles with their different kinds
of thread and silk that you are likely
to have use for.

Women with regular features,
peaches and cream compilations. melt
ing eyes and sWanlike necks needn't
plume themselves on their beauty any
longer They are no more beautiful
than the woman with a squirt and a
double chin. M. Rodin, the sculptor,
says so. At least he says that every
human being is beautiful, one as much
SO as the other. Nature Is never under
any circumstances ugly.
This is really very comforting, but
1t will be a tri1e hard on the beauty

The New Furs

TN the good old days our ancestors
would have been horror stricken at
the mere idea of the tailor even glanc-
ing at their furs. Then the leading fur
riers stocked three sizes in sealskin
coats, and no one ever had the temerity
to suggest that any alterations should
be made. Seal was dyed quite differ
ent color from the rich brown, almost

the accepted shade forty years ago.

considered in no way to detract from
it's value. In fact, it was after twenty
or thirty years wear looked upon as
an heirloom to figure in the possessor's
will.

harmonious blending of colors, and it is
impossible now to wear a chinchilla

A wool puff should be used in prefer

THE JAPANESE SASH,

If you want to be very much in the
fashion you will wear your sash in the
very newest mode-a la Japonaise.
Wide silks or satins are used, being
drawn about the figure above the nor
NAL waist line, though not so high as
the empire demands.
In front the silk brushes together In
tiny folds, ending in the back in a huge
bow, just exactly as worn by the wee
maidens OF the cherry blossom coun-
try. The silk is most striking and the
sash most effective when a shade con-
trasting in color Of the gown is en-
ployed.
The bow in the back must be very
large and very fiat, the ends of the bow
pointing upward.

BUYING A TROUSSEAU.

The best of all advice is to buy as lit
tie as possible. realizing what the con-
ditions of the future will be and what
will be needed for immediate wear.
Fashions alter so rapidly nowadays
that it is a mistake to have more
clothes than one can comfortably use,
but have just enough of tie best for
the moment. A few dollars to purchase
gowns and wraps as one wants them is
good provision, for often occasions
arise that are not thought of before the
wedding.
1t is not well to go into shops pro-
miscuously and be tempted to buy what
pleases you at the time. Make com
prehensive lists and do not depart from
them. So many things are captivating,
but as often as not are likely to be of
no real use.
The going away gown is not so often
a coat and skirt costume as 1t used to
be. A travelling cloak accompanying
a one piece gown is sometimes substi-
tuted. The coat and skirt suit, though,
is considered best, for so many blouses
may be worn with it for variety. Smart
blouses for travelling are of pongee
marquisette or oriental patterned soft
silk.
And for real service, to serve as q
dinner gown while on tour and for IN
formal wear when the honeymoon is
over, nothing is better value than a
frock of black chiffon or net to be worn
over white or colored slips.
Velvet makes some Of the dressy
suits of the season. and when trimmed
with fur and worn with a muh to
match it is an ideal costume for best
wear.
Six of each sort of undergarment are
sufficient, but the number Of hats
gloves and other accessories is a mat
ter of how much one has to spend on
the trousseau. But in the rush OF buy
ing things one is apt to get a lot of
little things" that don't go with each
other and are utterly worthless.
