MIdseasOn Costumes.

Yea can make bag of anything at
all that Is effective with your costume
and In any shape that was ever used
for q bag anywhere In the world and
1t will be In style. One Of the most
original bags among the new ones Is
made OF suede. with copper or brass
bars across the top to hold the top
straight and convey the cord from
one side to the other. The style is
familiar IL certain japanese bags.
These are made by amateurs who
work in metal and leather The leath-
er may be fooled or be left perfectly
plain Such bags are excellent for the
opera in pretty colors or tints or make
serviceab1e shopping bags in sturdier
colors. The metal pieces are often
embellished with hammered designs
and are sometimes cut in slightly
curved bars for variety. Cords of
such bags are of silk or of leather
thongs braided together for strength.
Sometimes these cords are very long
and have a metal slide holding them
together. Velvet bags of the kind
have silver or silver gilt bars and
slides. The bag in the drawing is of
suede rich with beading. and the
frame is pierced and ieweIed Such
bags are seen at the theater and
opera and even with handsome after
noon costumes. A beautiful bag Of this
shape recently seen was embroidered
in old gold and green on changeable
red and green silk. and the coIoring
was charming and neutral One of
the odd little shoulder throws of vel
vet lined with satin is shown in the
drawing It matches the girdle and
the main color in the embroidery.

HENS FOR
EGG PRODUCTION
Body Formations That Indicate
Laying Qualities.

In selecting hens for laying 1t Is pos
sible to pick out these that are one and
two years old that will continue to lay
well the second and third year. says
the Country Gentleman. shape and size
for the variety must be considered,
and, above all. the hens should be well
proportional. They should have plen-
ty OF room In front for the gizzard and
equal size back Of the thighs where the
food viii be assimilated and eggs made
from the food. This same principle
and, in fact, all the following sugges-
lions should be applied to pullets, judy
ing them according to age as well as
the other comparisons.
Numerous methods have been sug-
gested for selecting laying hens ac-
cording to the width Of the pelvic
bones. 1t is declared that great width
in the spread Of the points of the pei
vic bones indicates great laying ca
pacity. Hens wide IN abdominal for
nation will naturally have greater
width of pelvic bones than will hens
that are narrow chested. narrow be-
tween the thighs and narrow about
the abdomen It is not the width Of
pelvic bones alone that makes them
prolific egg producers. but it is the
general body formation, including
width between the thighs and greater
width across the abdomen
Hens and pullets that have full,
round, plump breast formation. with
large sized crops. are apt 70 be good
feeders. II there is good width be-
tween the thighs this indicates plenty
of room for the internal organs to do
their natural work, and from such
well formed organs many eggs are
apt to come. Length and deptE Of alb
domen. where no unusual amount of
fat exists. indicate activity in the egg
producing organs. aud hens on pullets
possessing this makeup may be safely
selected with more than average GER
tainty of their producing a profitable
number of eggs.

HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Hay and Fodder Corn.

In some parts of the country there
are many stacks of hay to be seen in
the fields from last seasons generous
crop and more or less of fodder corn
AS soon as there is room at the barns
this mass of fodder should be put IN
der shelter, as the longer it remains
out of doors the more the quality will
be impaired
it is gratifying to have so good a
supply of fodder, and lie it should not
all be wanted on the farm there will
most likely be demand for any sur
plus from those less fortunate. as
large crops were not harvested in all
parts of the country. Where the
stacks of hay can be sold directly
from the field that would mean the
saving of some time and labor.

GETTING EVEN WITH

A Bit Of Legal Advice That
Proved Effective.

Advice In law applied in an unppo-

incident of thirty or forty years ago IL

seph A. Willard in 'fHaIf a Century

day, when a client came in for ad-
vice.
He said that he had hired horse to
go to a neighboring town for 81, but
when he returned the stable keeper
asked him for 81 more
What for?' the client had asked.
For the ride back"
The lawyer gave some instructions,
which the client followed A little
later he went to the stable keeper and
asked how much it would cost to hire
a horse and buggy to go to Salem.
sFive dollars" was the reply.
The client hired the team and went
to Salem. When he returned he came
on the cars. He went to the stable
and paid the keeper So. a,

The Marrow skirt.

It is said that garment is never
fashionable to woman when it be
comes too fashionable. From this ar
gument is predicted the downfall OF
the narrow skirt. 1t is even limited
that this is the psychological moment
for the appearance again OF the crino-
line.
But even If this disaster does not de
scend upon fashionable woman it is
argued that reaction in favor of a
more capacious skirt is inevitable. All
these, agitators forget the fact that
woman is not always swayed by
whins, and the comfort and hygiene
of the moderately narrow short skirt

arm BUILDINGS.

Much can be done in winter toward
the erection of new buildings or the
renovation of old ones and thus save
time that is hard to spare when there
is more farm work to be done. at
least on the land, than at this season.
The farmer himself and his regular
help can do much at this work now,
with a good carpenter to go ahead
and direct operations. thus furnishing
work to one or two men who other
wise might have to remain idle. This
is something worth considering some
times IL a farmer has a good hand
