The Bonnet Box

The bonnet box, from the fact that
it occupies such place of Importance
in the we'll furnished wardrobe, is de-
serving of a treatment that will make
it in the decorative scale and at the
same time increase the convenience OF
this friendly accessory.
1t is undeniable that the necessary
receptacle for hats and bonnets re-
ceives more wear and tear than the
millinery which it protects. All of us
have pulled the battered pastboard box
from the concealing shelter of the bed
or the dark corner of a closet; and
few can boast of a season. This is
now worthy of an evenings work A
restoration of worn box or a few
touches On a new one will make it a
thing of convenient beauty with no
possibility of quick return to its rest
ing place, due to the half shame of the
owner.
plain box offers excellent oppor-
tunity for decoration that will bring
it in the scheme of the room. For the
little girls hat box, the leftover strip
of wallpaper that has been used in
the nursery comes to an appropriate
aid
Cut out the figures that are poster
esque in their simplicity; paste them in
a fringe around the outside of the box.

Letter

NEW YORK, March 2.-This is the
time of year when the woman, who be-
lieves in being fore handed as they
say down east begins her search for
the newest ideas and materials for the
blouse and lingerie waists. I'm spite
of the predictions to the contrtry and
the rivalry of the one-piece gown the
blouse and lingerie waist persists to
be-
One. of the novelties of the season
owes it's origin to the Russian influ-
ence now so popular in other lines of
fashion. The bordered materials are
used more than all others for the Rus
sian blouse, which shows a side front
closing from neck to lower edge of the
skirt portion. The bordering is used
over the straight side-opening, as a
belt and at the low edge of the attach
ed skirt portion. When made of white
materials lace or embroidery bands
are effectively used The bordered
materials are by far the prettiest goods
for this mode, and many very lovely
bordered goods are offered this spring
in all the new cotton fabrics. A dainty
jacquard batiste in white had a Dor
green lines.
The sidefront opening is one OF the
popular developments in the lingerie
waist as we'll as in the ile-piece
frock. Many varieties of this idea are
to be seen in the shops. There are
those fastened under a band of lace or
embroidery, and the centre of the front
done in hand work, or decorated with
insets of fine lace. Another style
shows the right front finished in tabs
which lap over on the left side under
which is a side jabot of lace. Each
tab and the front is decorated with
small motifs of embroidery. Often
both sides of the waist correspond in
modes of trimming with the one excep-
ton of this side jabot of lace or net
or chiffon.
That these waists are convenient by
an opening under this left side is a
mistake, upon investigation one finds
for the most part they fasten in the
back with tiny buttons and button
holes placed under broad plat.
Again in many of the waists there is
distinct contract between the left
and the right side. A waist of fine
cream marquisette was made with tiny
tucks over the shoulders for the sake
of the necessary fulness. A band of
embroidery outline a shallow tucked
yoke and was carried down on the
left side. Between the tucks and this
band on the right side was an embroid-

number of things are essential in
the handling of dairy COWS to make
them yield the greatest quantity of
milk for the longest period. Among
these things are the feed and shelter
All who have kept cows know that
they give the most and best milk when
on spring and early summer pasture,
in central ATTITUDES during the months
Of April. May and June. Now, the rea-
sons for this are that during these
months the weather is mild so that
the COWS are comfortable during the
entire dav: there are no flies to bother
them and the green grass of the pas
lures is abundant, succulent, and sup
plies all the essential elements in good
proportions for making milk To these
might be added that during the early
pasturing season there is usually an
abundance of pure cool water in the
pastures so that the coys can drink
their fill whenever they wish. The
water they find in the pasture in spring
is almost always clear and neither too
warm nor too cold.
The good dairy cow is a more ten
der animal than most any other farm
animal She is reasonably Well protect
ed by a coat of hair but she carries no
fat during the milk producing period
for keeping off the cold. \ A beef ami
NAL carries heavy layers of fat under
the skin, hence it can stand the cold.
The dairy cow would suffer in an open
shed on a cold night where a beef steer
or horse in good flesh would be COM
Portable.
The dairy cow that is expected to
give the heaviest flow of milk must be
provided with a warm and dry stall
in cold weather In fact her living
quarters must be much warmer than
horse stables or poultry houses. There
must be good ventilation in the COW
stable, but the lower walls must be
tight, and doors and windows must fit
so that no cold air will blow in and fall
upon the animals while they are lying
down, which they do large part of the
time when not eating. The day and
night temperature of the COW stable

Ihey are very effective on the plain or
striped surface of pasteboard Tape of
durable width should be used for
the very necessary straps, and the 9TH
er trimmings are the same as in any
Well fitted box.
The form of any bonnet box can be
made durable by FASTING a covering of
English chintz over the outside. The
pattern that has been used for the
other decorations of the bedroom will
bring the box into it's appropriate
niche. The material should be measur-
ed and glued on with paste made of
flour and water. Your book covering
days when you went to school will

manipulation of the material

ished with lace jabot
The first showing of the new tall
ored madras waists show colored
stripes. They are made in mannish
style with cuffs stitched tucks and
bands. A number of plain madras
waists are decorated in bands of Bull
garian embroidery which is being used
a good deal just now for the purpose.
A good deal of all-over embroidery
is being used in the construction of the
new lingerie waists. Sometimes the
whole waist is made of it, sometimes
just the front and again it is the yoke,
or cuffs and bands and belt. They are
extremely effective when made of fine
material done in a fine pattern.
Marquisette and cotton crepe are to
be used. to a large extent for the sepa
embroidered bands. The Bulgarian
embroidery is to be found on the
waist was tucked all over with tiny
stripes between each tuck of blue
feather or coral stitching
The crossbarred, striped or checked
muslin or bastistes are often very
plain in construction, but are embroid
cred with a tiny flower, dots or geo.
metrical design with in the block or
between the stripes.
Sleeves are no longer plain and
many varieties Of cut and decoration
are shown. One new style showed of
medium sized puff halfway down the
upper arm below which was a band of
black jetted lace, below this was
small elbow puff gathered into a deep
cuff of the black lace. Whatever full

however, is closely held in place by

great care must be given in the matter
of elbow puffs as they are apt to in
crease the size of the waist
A pretty little wolfe waist had three
quarter length sleeves, the fullness
being caught by lace bands both above
and below the elbow. The front of the
waist was trimmed with band of the
lace and a sile jahot and an embroid-
cred design finished the right edge
A number of sleeves are a combina-
ton of all over embroidery and tiny
