there are on the market simple, in.
expensive levels made purposely for
the farmer; SIS will buy one, and so

The simple level, illustrated here,

terracing land, road building. house
foundation work, grading Of all kinds,
setting out orchards, running fences,

and implements for dong farm work,
the level excepted. Now that this Is

A BotIceIIl Headdress.

There is a headdress affected by
women Of regular features and small
thin faces. This is kind Of Italian
couture founded probably in the Bot.
tlcelli scheme. All the hair on the
crown Of the head is rolled up to form
a chignon that stands out a long way
from the head In a direct line with the
nose, says Halrdressers' Journal. If
the hair is not sufficient to make a
firm. thick chlgnon. a ''crepon" Is
wound in It or 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 puffed
out over the ears. Those who like
the wave apply the iron to this part,
so as to produce deep, soft undula.
tons, which bring an effect Of light
and shade into the scheme.

HIGH COLLAR COMING BACK
The Very Full Sleeves Are Also Prom.
lsed Popularity Among the
New styles.

Two fashions are strongly rumored.
Both have a good deal of backing be.
hind them. One is an abolition OF the
collarless blouse. and the other is the
appearance Of long. full sleeve,
Neither Is pretty, but both will be
worn II fashion so DEGREES. Every one
has become accustomed to the bare
neck, and every one likes 1t. Hero
and there are women whose necks are
entirely too thin to stand exposure,
but to Judge by the showing in the
street and in the house the observer
would say that there are few Of these
women in existence.
The collarless blouse has been worn
in England for generations and prob.
ably will continue to be, for the Eng.
lish do what they like and not as Parts
says.
The other ugly fashion that is com.
ing in is the long, full sleeve that
droops from armhole to wrist. It is
the type that gets larger as It leaves
the elbow and says at the wrist.
Several Of the new models that have
been recently worn show this sleeve.
One is white linen. handsomely EN-.
broidered, which is gathered into the
armhole and says over wide cuff Of
the piece embroidery fastened at the
back with small buttons
Another model is Of black chiffon
over white satin. The sleeve is made
in long cap of the black over plain
sleeve Of the satin. This cap has a
row OF Jet buttons down the back and
ia longer under the arm than over It.
Below this is a full puff that reaches
to within three inches OF the wrist
and shows a much larger pun of white
lace that is attached to the lining and
ia caught into band that falls on
the hand.
This kind Of sleeve was worn ten
years ago. It was ugly then, and 1t is
ugly now.
