The clerk told him that the time

what he could. and the shirt was de-
livered on time.
He came down Thursday morning
and said he wanted another shirt
laundered. but that this one must be
back by two O'Clock in the afternoon.
The clerk said that would be too
short a time. The Briton grew angry

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Be careful about feeding horses in
clined to heaves too much hay or hay
that is dusty.
Use your skim milk. Five pounds
Of skim milk have been found equal
to one pound Of grain for pigs.
1t Is we'll known that pigs under
cleanly conditions thrive much better
than those in filthy surroundings.
BY the time the pigs are eight
weeks old they will be ready to wean
without any check to their growth.
Get the hogs on to new corn care
fully. It Is hard food to digest. You
know that from personal experience.
Cholera and other diseases Of swine
attack herds which are in poor con-
dition and consequently most suscep-
tible.
An average Of between one and two
per cent. Of hogs slaughtered in the
United States are infected with tri.
china.
The breeding of high-class hackney
stations to high.class trotting mares
has passed beyond the experimental
stage.
Never salt the horses feed in the
box. Place big lump where he can
reach It, and he will take 1t when he
needs it.
Oats, wheat bran and little corn or
linseed meal Is a grain ration that will
keep the lambs growing and in good
flesh by winter.
The buyer discounts a thin horse
more than his condition deserves, and
just as often credits the fat horse
above his real deserts.
Sheep are extremely nervous, and
when being fattened for market they
must be quiet and free from sudden
alarm which will cause excitement.
Give the ewes a little grain II the
pasture Is short About one-half
pound each per day Of wheat bran
and oats will put them in good flesh
for winter.

Pretty Things That Have Been Given
the Sanction Of eest-Dressed
Partisan Women.

The jabots. plisses and rabats are
more important than ever in the
decoration of separate blouses and
bodies of one-piece frocks. Here are
some notes taken at showing in one
of the well-known lingerie shops not
far from Paquin's.
The larger the better. This seems
to be the rule for fashioning frills
Of either lace or linen.
One-sided effects predominate. A
central strip Of lace. tucked material
or embroidery Is flanked on one side
by an immense frill. Beading, eyelet
embroidery. lace, heavy and fine, may
be used at the line Of junction. and
ball fringe has made its appearance
on some novelties.
Pleatings Of net are edged with lace
motifs in heavy Oriental weaves or
fine valenciennes. Sometimes a
pleated frill will be edged with two
or three other frills of pleated lace.
The possibilities Of variety are unlim-
tied.
Jabots or plisses are extremely wide
and long. In the majority of cases
they extend to the waistline and over
as far as the shoulder. The shape is
generally broader at the top than at
the bottom.
Black buttons of satin or velvet are
Introduced on lace.

Juvenile HaIrdresslno

Is noticeably softer for some time
back.
One of the latest ideas in children's
hairdressing is the transformation Of
the Dutch style into Louis XVI Pc
riod.
1t consists Of having the cropped
hair curled and falling in long ring
let's, completely surrounding the head,
from ear to ear, instead of being
combed down straight.
The arrangement is decidedly
quaint and pretty. 1t will be becom-
ing to even greater number Of chill
dren than was the harsher Dutch style.

John H. Finley. president OF the

talking to n group Of librarians ut the

Strange That Gray, SO Eminentiy
Appropriate, Has Not Been More
Largely Made Use OF.

In one Of the popular plays of the
day the woman who is artistic will
get an idea well worth following as to
house decoration. In one Of the
scenes n room is decorated with gray
curtains.
Why. says the artistic woman. has
she not thought Of gray curtains be-
fore? Why adhere to blue and brown.
rose and white. when gray makes a
frame for the outside world that Is
inimitable? It softens the garish
brightness OF an azure sky, and drapes
the sad day with sympathetic har-
mony. Moreover, a gray tone with
any room Is never obtrusive, does not
weary the senses. ia dignified, charm
ing and picturesque. It Is. in short, q
perfect choice.
Gray curtains made of chintz.
China silk and sheeting. or the
sumptuous brocade and satin. are the
ideal accompaniment Of the house
where every color scheme Is kept in
low tones. The result is a habitation
very soothing to the eyes and nerves
and one of which nobody wearies
quickly.
White walls go well with gray cur
tains and they should be hung with
engravings. Steel tenders and fire
irons complete the picture and the
electric light fittings match. The
mahogany furniture shines and the
damask and silver that deck the table
at meal times are at once simple and
splendid in design. Solid comfort is
the motto of the home, and curtains
of gray will carry out this motto.

something of reputation for close

the village schoolma'am. The young
