DUTCH COLLAR AND CUFFS
Dainty FriIls That Are Designed to
Tighten Up a Dark Cos
tune.

The girl who likes to tighten a dark
costume with dainty frills, should
make herself one of the sets of round
ing Dutch collar and cuffs in plated
lawn.
The frills are made of fine white
lawn or dotted muslin, and are cut
three and half inches wide for the
collar, and two inches for the cuffs.
Mark the edge in a tiny scallop
with a spool of two hundred cotton,
and buttonhole in white or colored
mercerized cotton in a shallow line.
When finished sew into eighth of an
inch side plaits and sew into narrow
band the right length to fit around
wrist and neck. The frill falls softly
from the band or in the sleeves may
be inverted and turned back, being
caught at one side with a lace pin.
Instead of arranging in plaits,
which are hard to iron, the frills may
be run in thread tucks to give the
fullness. This model is good for high
turnover effects and for the Dutch
collar For the latter the strip should
be made narrower at the ends than
in the middle.

7 ACY braids, embroidered batiste
and null, nets, laces, hair braids
and silk go to make up the ma
jority of hats for young girls and
smaller misses The shapes are more
soft and bonnet like than ever and
narrow side plaitings of sheer fabrics
and lace are more favored than ever.
Cascades of plated ruffles fall about
and over considerable of the face.
Soft pulled crowns look like quaint old
time ideas revived for youthful wear
ers.
When the baby girl graduates from
the regulation baby bonnet, she will
don bonnet-like hat, or a bonnet
made on light frame, quite elab-
orately trimmed with ribbons and lace
and small flowers Ribbons have al
ways been the favorite trimming for
children's millinery This spring sea-
son 1t Is to be used In greater album
dance than ever. Small roses, tiny
rose foliage and other little flowers
like the forget-me-not and valley-lily,
the cow-slip and tiny daisy, continue
to reign as favorites for children.
There is little round hat made by
shirring large circle of silk or en-
broidered batiste or other sheer ia
brics, on feather-bone. Four rows of
shirrings form the up-turned brim, and
the crown is just puff of the mate
rial. This little cap Is finished with a
big rosette made of wide ribbon
shirred. A variation of this model has
silk crown and brim of point de
esprit. II is highly successful nov
pity.
The regular plain bonnet Is In high
favor, and numbers of little hats are
simply diminutives of the simple
shapes worn by grown-ups They are
simply trimmed with ribbon.

silk and lace Tuscan braid The light
wire shape is faced with silk and
bound with braid. A soft tan crown
of silk makes a foundation for the

Heat In the Brooder.

The warmest part of the broodel
should be in the center rather than al
the side or corner. If the heat comes
from above and a considerable por
ton of the broooder be heated to the
same temperature no crowding will
take place.
The temperature given for run
ming breeders varies with the ma
chine and the position of the Their
mometer. The one reliable guide fol-
temperature is the action of the
chicks.
If they are cold they will crowd
toward the source of heat; If toe
warm they will wander uneasily
about; but If the temperature is right
each chick will sleep stretched out on
the floor.
The cold chicken does not sleep at
all, but puts in it's time fighting It's
way toward the source of heat.

My barn Is not one of the modern
kind, but one that has been built over
or added on to, as shown by the illus
tration, writes John Jackson of OF
tawa county, Mich, in the Michigan
Farmer. The dotted lines show the
main building, on which additions
have been built on all four sides.
These additions were built on at dill
erent times, and by taking off the
boards from the sides and ends of the
main barn for the additions it was
not necessary to purchase much new
lumber. AS l did all the carpenter
work myself the expense of these adj
ditions was comparatively small, and
| now have barn that is very con-
venient, and one large enough to hold
about all the hay, grain, corn fodder
and straw that l can raise. AS the
barn is painted red, it compares favor
ably in appearance with most barns
around the country. A portion of the
barn was painted where the lumber
was not planed.
BY putting on two good coats there
is but little difference in the looks of
this or the part where the lumber was
planed. There are many old barns
around the country, that could be en-
larged by similar additions and paint
ed without planning the lumber, which
could be thus improved at small ex-
pense. Such barn can be nearly as
conveniently arranged and by paint
ing be made to look nearly as well as
a modern structure, which would cost
more than many farmers could afford.
In my barn the lofts above the
horse and sheep stable are used for
hay, which is carried to these lofts by
carrier running the whole length of
the barn. The lofts above the COW
and lambing stable are used for stor-
ing corn fodder in winter. The horse
stable, exclusive of the box stall, will
accommodate five horses. In the COW
stable there is room for seven cows,
and few calves on one end. Each
cow has separate stall, and instead
of being tied around the neck small
chain which is snapped into staple
at the rear of the stall keeps each
COW in place and gives her perfect
freedom to lie down or lick herself,
and my COWS are always clean. These
stalls are so arranged that the COW
cannot turn around and the mixer
has plenty of room without being
crowded. AS my lambs are dropped
in February and March it is necessary

large circle of lace Tuscan which is
posed over brirn and crown. Ribbon,
wide and soft, is laced through the
braid and tied in a two-looped bow
with hanging ends at the back. 1t is
a model which may be worn by chill
dren from four to fourteen years old.
A pretty model for an olier girl is
shown In Fig 2. The wire frame in
this is covered first with chiffon,
which Is shirred for the facing. The
hat is covered with row after row of

and about the brim. At the side crown
the plated lace is omitted and little
stalks of lily-of-the-valley are set
plainly over the chiffon.
A sash of wide soft ribbon finished
with an immense bow at the back
makes complete finish for the hat.
But bunch of cow-slips or other
small flowers may be added at the
front, as shown in the picture.

MIR. Wentworth's Dog
By DONALD ALLEN


It was 2 o'clock In the afternoon
on certain day when Miss Ethel
Blaine left the manor house known
as The Willows for a walk down the
highway and then a turn to the left
into the hills. There was a cave there
among the rocks and scrubpines, and
1t was her intention to pay 1t a visit
At just the same hour, on the same
afternoon, Mr.. Hugh Wentworth left
the manor house known as The Pop
lars for a walk up the highway and
then turn to the right into the hills
There were cartridges among the
pines, and he had his gun along to
make victims. He was accompanied
by his dog. 1t wasn't high-bred dog
and thing of beauty but he had
mission to perform before getting Off
the earth
The distance between The Will
lows and The Poplars was two miles,
There wasn't a willow within three
miles of The Willows and there wasn't
poplar within four miles Of The Pop
lars. Miss Blaine had just returned
home from year out west, and Mr..
Wentworth had been civil engineer
Ing in the south.
Miss Ethel found the cave all right.
1t wasn't much of a cave. One sit
ting down In 1t was only four feet
from the entrance.
There was romance there, however.
One could sit down on stone and
hear the pines whispering, the SPUR
rels chattering and the cartridges
clucking. One ould think of the In
dian maiden who committed suicide
there rather than wed rich young
white man. Counterfeiters and horse
thieves had used that cave. Gallant
knights had slept there and cooked
their own breakfast of bacon and
eggs while out on tours to rescue
damsels all forlorn. Lovers had sat
there and pledged their vows.
No place could have been better
adapted to meditation. True, sort
of animal odor chung to the cave, but
one could think of the past and won
der over the future. Many girls have
