Muskogee, has ranch near this

The state game warden last year
sent DR.. Fite some pheasant eggs,
which were hatched. Other birds
were purchased until the flock was
increased to thirty. On the ranch is
a flock of fifty native prairie chick

tecting. Last summer the pheasants
and the prairie chickens mated, and
from the cross was hatched flock of
young birds.

II the new muffs are bigger than

saw the possibilities for slowing away
things In the capacious depths of the

muff bag is evolved. This is very diff

made its appearance u few weeks ago.
1t is a handbag and 1t is made of fur.

One of the new muff bags is of er-

openings placed diagonally and just

sides to Imposing proportions. The

In the SeWinu Room

Blouses made of thin fabrics often
look untidy and unfinished at the
back. owing to the difficulty of con-
cealing the sewing on the hooks or
buttons. neat way to do this is
to stitch on a small box pleat after
the hooks have been sewn on. or the
sewing which shows through can be
covered over with lace, band OF en-
broidery or suitable trimming.

were finished with deep borders of vel
