way he locates them is TO put out
bait and course the bees when they
come to It, He mixes honey and
water and puts little vinegar with
1t to give it q sharp sour scent,
which enables the bees to smell II
better. He then smears the mixture
on punches OF leaves and places
them on stumps around In the
woods. After the bees have been at
tracted to the bait he says 1t Is an
easy matter to course them back

OSTRICH FEATHERS
CUT FOR TRIMMING

Cut ostrich feathers are now being
made into bands for trimming hats
aud dresses. These come IN all colors
that are adapted for street and house
wear. They are uncurled, and, there
fore, can be taken out into the rain
with safety, II you wish. They are
light in weight and give the effect Of
fur. which points speak eloquently in
their favor
Ostrich bands edge some Of the
large hats Of velvet or silk. The trim
ming is applied on the edge OF the
wide brims, and unually there is little
else required.
Some velvet suits are shown with
cuffs and long revers Of this trim
ming Gray on gray velvet. black on
black or c0lors are most effective.
The scarfs and muffs of feathers
and fabric are beautiful When YOU
consider that the bands are procur-
able by the yard, there is no limita-
tion TO the many forms that the trim
mings can take.

a two or three-inch silk fringe Of the
exact color of the cloth is the only
trimming. The jacket is bordered all
around with this fringe and the short
skirt has a band of the fringe laid
over the hem. The new tailor skirts
just escape the ground by from one to
two inches. while the majority of

Afternoon Costumes.
But the coat suit question Ia not the
only disturbing one--there are other
garments in the wardrobe which re-
quire attention. At this time of the
year. when semi-formal affairs are to
be attended. afternoon frocks are
necessity. In the first illustration Is
shown a little frock in which two ma
terials are attractively combined. The
upper part OF the peasant blouse was
fashioned from 2 white satin striped
marauisette with sprays OF roses. The
pointed tabs were of white peau do
sole and the silk was also used for
the pointed turn-bsck cuffs. The
charming little skirt had a pointed
panel which the side cores overlapped.
The perfectly straight founce was Of
the marquisette over silk.
The second figure presents a very
striking Princess gown. Rose broad
cloth was used for this frock The
odd shaped yoke--which was cut in
one with the sleeve-wss Of heavy
ecru lace. and band OF this Lace
trimmed the waistline. A shaped
band of the lace outlining the top OF
/ the founce was the only trimming on
the skirt
Ratine will be ar smart this Spring
as has been the case all winter. and
so much IN fashions favor is this new
cloth that II bids fair TO outrival
the ever favorite serge. Although
scarcely appropriate for an elaborate
costume this fabric Is nevertheless
sufficiently smart for most purposes
for which a tailor costume can bs
worn, and Just now Is so new that A.

noon than Is apt TO be the case with
a textile OF rough finish For some
what smarter style of dress the new

cloths. So exquisite in texture is this
material that even on close inspection
| A. Is often difficult TO tell It from the
real satin, and in purchasing q gown
at this time OF the year. when It Is
desired to have a costume that will
look smart az the early Spring fes-
tivities, this satin-faced cloth Is not to
be surpassed. The bodice for the gown
may be of the same material or, n
lighter weight Is desired, of real satin.
IN one OF the soft. supple qualities
that are In their perfection this year.
