HEADDREsS MADE AT HOME
Materials Plentiful When One Knows
Where to Find Them and Cost
Is Small.

The couture is more simple this
winter than it has been for some sea-
sons, and for that reason headdresses
have been invented that are strongly
suggestive Of the Byzantine period.
One can pay any price for such a
headdress in the shops or make it at
home of dull metal braid and large
colored crystals. The problem is how
to make it, rather than of what to
make it. The materials are plentiful
when one knows where to find them,
but every woman has not the correct
idea about what is becoming to her
face.
The scarf ornament promises to be
popular all winter. This is a wide.
folded band of metal cloth or of metal
brocade or of the new thin tapestry
which is being used as trimming. This
is edged with a band Of crystals, as a
rule.
1t is sometimes made Of heavy col
ored tulle woven with crystals. and

Japan is a marvel In respect to the

When comparisons are made with
newer countries, such as Canada and
Australia, which have natural advan-
tages similar to those enjoyed in the
United States, the contrast becomes
less. but the differences are never

$550,000,000, and the accounts are

T. ORMAL announcement of official
/ functions to be given at the White
House during the season has been
made. These official affairs are quite
distinct from those given by Mrs.
Taft when the occasions are sur
round by a more private and personal
atmosphere.
According to established custom the
reception to the diplomat corps will
be given first, and the date chosen Is
January 10, to be followed a week
later by the diplomatic dinner. At
the reception all persons connected
with the embassies and legations, and
the members of their families, are in
vited to be present, but at the dinner
only the diplomatic chiefs and their
wives, If there are any, receive invi-
tations.
On January "a the annual reception

to the judiciary will take place. which
a week later will be followed by the
customary dinner to the members OF
the Supreme court. Mr.. Justice
Hughes and Mrs. Hughes will attend
these functions at the White House
as guests Of honor for the first time.
The reception to the congressional
circles will be on February T. and as
a dinner to these same people would
be practical impossibility at the
White House, one is not given, but
President and Mrs. Taft conceived
the idea of giving a dinner in compli-
ment to the speaker when they took
possession of the White House, and
last year the custom was inaugurated.
The following Tuesday, February
21, the state functions, which last a
trifie over two months, will be con-
cluded with the reception to the army
and navy, an affair which has more
brilliancy than any of the others, ow-
ing to the fact that most of the men
guests are in full-dress uniform. Most
people are uncertain whether thew
prefer to be present at the first or
the last of the receptions. for, of
course, that given especially for the
diplomats is particularly brilliant.

COSTUMES FOR GIRLS
SMART AND INEXPENSIVE GOWNS
FOR WINTER WEAR.
Dainty Design Which Is Adapted e
Both School Wear and to Best
Bib and Tucker-The
HobbIe Skirt.

Mothers are constantly writing me
concerning costumes for their girls
maids not yet out of school, and who
must be dressed smartly and still. to a
great extent, inexpensively. Requests
are always for medium ideas, the thing
that will follow the present trend
without being too extreme, and more
than one mamma says plaintively,
please don't suggest any of those
freakish hobble skirts
Regarding this charming thing-for
it can be charming thing-its infiu-
ence will continue with US until the
spring at least, so it is impossible to
write any word ON fashions without
considering it. But the word "hobble"
is now rarely used. The restraining
band at the bottom of the skirt, the
half ones at the side, the taut section
that may hold in the back alone, are
all with US still, but the garment dis
playing them has been renamed to
suit squeamish tastes. Different ma
kers use different names-the narrow
skirt, the toddling skirt, the medieval
skirt are some of the titles one hears
and the lines of none of these affect
the garter about the ankles and the
foolish f1ouncing which made the style
such horror when it first came out.
To be effective, the narrow skirt must
be thing of reason, and there are
many ways of making it such. All
he
mum width allowed-two yards and a
half at the bottom-is enough material
to float around any form for comfort
and looks, and where a young girls
figure is sufficiently slim the skirt
may be half a yard narrower with ad-
vantage.
Where one refuses to consider the
three-yards-and-a-half sort of style,
there are others that are voluminous
enough, though even these must give
something of the narrow look not to
seem archaic. Skirts planted all round
and skirts half plaits and half cores
are seen; some bodices come to the
waist line and are quite generously
full across the bust; others have belts
far short Of the waist; these seeming
to be made, sometimes out of nothing
at all. 1t all depends on ones taste
and type.
The picture selected for the weeks
talk and shown herewith has been Sc
lected for medium tastes. 1t is from
the best styles shown for midwinter,
at which time everything offered con-
siders winters needs up to the last
hour.

Harem Refugee Goes Back to Turkey

AS Miss Baherion talked her voice
was tense with emotion and her hands
worked nervously, as she lived again
the days that preceded her flight. She
told how, as child, reared In the
Armenian faith, she had been convert

the Adventist mission house in Con-
stantinople.
my father went about among his
people trying to convert them. He
was warned to stop. He refused to
heed the warnings. He must show his
people the light. He was imprisoned
at Alexandria,, near Constantinople.
Soon after my father had been ia.
ken from US my mother learned from
friends that wealthy Turk wanted
me to Join his harem. My mother re.
fused to treat with him and he finally
laid trap to kidnap me. Warned in
time, remained a prisoner in my
own home.
Finally Doctor George advised my
mother to send me to America. Dis.
guised as his servant, in boys clothes,
we went to Alexandria. After we had
arrived at Alexandria everything was
easy. Friends of Doctor George &C.

In the seat behind the middle-aged
woman and the girl with her sat Chew
alier Darcy. He had been sitting
there for two hours, and he had fig
ured out that the woman was no lady.
That is, she had not been born to the
purple. She was just woman trying
to be lady. He figured that the girl
was about nineteen, the niece of the
other, and that she was frank and in
genuous and not trying to be anything
else. His eyes had told him over and
over again during those two hours
that she was good to look upon.
Chevalier Darcy looked to he thirty
years old. He may have been ten
years older. 1t was his business to
look thirty and to size up people. For
half an hour he had seen that the
girl had something on her mind that

have thought the woman would have

SCIENCE AND THE FARM

Much has been said lately about
scientific agriculture and intensive
cultivation. Not little is being done
to improve cultivation and increase
the yield. But farmers all over the
world will hear with pleasure that
even the British Association for the
Advancement of Science is giving
serious ATTENTION to these problems.
At its Sheffield meeting this year two
savants announced "the most impor-
tant agricultural discovery in fifty
years'-namely, the discovery that
there are micro-organisms that spoil
and destroy the soil as pathogenic
germs attack and injure human and
animal bodies. There are bacteria
that fertilize and stimulate plants and
there are bacteria that kill these USE
full organisms. The bad and noxious
agents may in turn be attacked and
destroyed, thus saving the soil and
leaving the field free to the beneficial
organisms. At the same meeting sew

Within month Mrs. Flint began
to have aspirations. She wasn't so

She felt it her duty to do something

changed to Flynt on the new cards.

street cars were exchanged for her
own horses and carriage. Mrs. Joshua
had hustled for money in other days:
now she hustled for aspirations. Flor
