EFFECT OF THE
new VEILINGs.
No Longer DistlguTlng Massing
Of Design on One Cheek.

Disfguring though the Yeils pat
termed with spiders, foliage and other
curious designs have been pronounced
on every side, they have survived Ia
a modified form.
The new wells are Of a silky texture
and have large mesh and shadow
designs upon them. Large flowers are
represented, birds and even beasts are
vaguely Indicated upon the mesh, and
there is a strange appreciation for
tiny tree patterns, showing their roots,
as well as the leaf bereft branches.
The plan of massing the design on
one cheek only or elsewhere has given
way before the more elegant one OF
having consistent pattern all over
the mesh. If there were much trim,
ming In the front of the winter hat
the way in which the new veil is put
on would hide it completely, but fash.
ions fancy for concentrating all the
decoration at one side or at the back
in the form of a flower, single feath
er or a handful of plumage puts that
objection to rout, and as the wells are
decorative they add to rather than de
tract from the smart appearance Of
millinery model. There are white wells
and black ones, the white aiding and
abetting the magpie effect that is still
in demand, the black enhancing the
beauty Of the complexion and bring
ing into relief the whiteness of the
skin and the pink cheeks and lips.
The wells are draped beneath the chin
and are fastened at the back In the
old manner.

dogs and birds have been realistically
reproduced in brilliants for some sea-
sons past.
Irish lace has lost none of its pop
ularity and is shown in lovelier pat
terms and more effective pieces than
ever. Especially good are the square
yoke effects, either with or without
the standing collar.
Embroidered cotton voiles will be
the materials for lingerie dresses of
the coming season. Many will be EN-.
broidered with white or colored por-
celain beads when the heavy padded
embroidery is not used.
The blouse illustrated may be made
in several ways. AS pictured it is
made over guimpe lining. When
made with the yoke and short sleeves
it is a very stunning waist for dressy
occasions JUDO CHOLLET.

IN The REALM
OF FASHION
Stripes Fashionable For Spring.

The costumes fashionable this sea
son one must admit are peculiar to the
period of 1901. They show many
traces of other years, but each is sub
dued and brought into harmony with
others until the result is highly de-
Ightful in effect. The eccentric gown
mas passed away, and the seasons
modes in general are artistic when
worn by the artistic type Of woman
they may, however, be adapted to the
average figure, for no one style pre-
walls except the narrow skirt which
Is now universally worn.
There are indications that stripes
will be fashionable in the spring, and

Ashes For Fruit Trees.

Save all the wood ashes and use
around fruit trees as a fertilizer. Wood
ashes are especially good for peach
trees, and they will benefit all fruit
trees and vines. In using them as
fertilizer do not place any against the
trunk of the tree, since the strong al
kali will spoil the bark. Scatter them
thinly on the soil over a circle as big
as the top of the tree. The feeding
roots run out farther than the longest
branches of the tree

the smart costume shown in the
sketch, designed for wear at Palm
Beach, illustrates the style of gown
that will be favored for early spring.

serge. with a bolero effect in the
bodice over a blouse of heavy white
lace. The gored skirt has stripes of
the material down either side of the
front and a border of the same Large
ornamental buttons give a smart dec
orative note. A girdle and neck bow
of black satin are worn and the con-
trast completed by black satin hat.

SNAPSHOTS OF La MODE.

Displayed.

The New cottons For Next Spring Are
displayed.
Every material is to be bordered in
the spring from beautiful sheer fabrics
at several dollars a yard to the most in
expensive of cottons.
In the hunt for novel effects in the
new bordered materials the designers
have turned to ancient Egypt for in
spiration, and the Egyptian designs
promise to have as great a vogue as
the Persian patterns did last season.
One Of the really new fabrics is
dotted swiss with border in colors.
The rare fineness of this material en-
hances the delieacy of the designs, and
the contrast between the border and
the body Of the swiss is a point in its
favor
Marquisette is another material that
takes bordering well, and many

Brood Mares In Winter.

Brood mares during the winter pre-
vious to foaIing, if not worked daily,
should be kept in an open yard shell

very important to them during this

Mares that are not in the harness
