Good Form In Dress.

Few women know how to put on
their clothes. This sounds like a very
startling statement. but let US stop
and think over the matter quietly.
How frequently we see women with
dainty. well-made and even well-cut
clothes. and yet how few appreciate
the beauty of the garment, and why?
Because the blouse is not pulled down
tightly at the waist line and fastened
In place either by hooks and loops or
safety pins. Then. too. the collar is
probably not carefully boned SO that
1t will fit the neck snugly. Each
woman should study the shape Of her
OWE neck mot some one else's) and
find just where the bones must be
placed in order tn make the COLLAR At

Gown Of Moonlight Blue Satin Some
thing Of Novelty in Sar-

A beautiful gown for a recent occa-
sion was made in a shade Of moon
light blue satin of the softest con-
sistency, known as peau de suede.
The gown opened over a petticoat of
the mousseline de sole, while one
side Of the corsage was likewise of
the filmy fabric relieved with trim

Another gown for the same occa-

gold tissue shot with fiageolet green.
The front of the gown was draped
with spoon-shaped panel of flower
patterned Brussels lace, yelled with
shadowy drapery of fiageolet green
tulle illusion, while the tissue was
left uncovered at the back. The cor

Matching a sitting Of guinea eggs. and
that. too. against the will OF the
guinea hen which formerly held pos
session of the nest which the turkey
now occupies.
Several days ago the eobbler, after
careful investigation OF the matter,
decided that he would like to try his
skill at Matching guinea eggs and pro-
ceeded Immediately and without cere-
mony to chase the hen from the nest.
Since that time the turkey has held
possession and has stuck to the nest
closer than even the guinea hen would
have done.
Farmers in the vicinity are watch
ing the outcome Of this motheriy ac-
ton on the part of the bird with con-
siderable interest. AS the time for
Matching guinea eggs is 2s days, they
will probably have to wait some time
yet. but the question OF whether or
not the turkey will continue to be a
mother to the guineas after the eggs
hatch is causing much speculation

ner Of poising the wings in nearly
every case suggests bird or butterfly
just ready for flight, matter OF per-
sonal arrangement.
Wings have come to stay for some
time. AS they are made now, they are
for more durable than in past seasons.
The feathers are sewed to a founda-
tion, and considering the time and ex-
perience necessary to make them, 1t
is wonder they can be sold SO
cheaply.
Next to the wing for street hats,
standing brushes promise to make the
best impression. These are manufac-
tured. also, with ornamental stem
mountings of feathers. They may be
sewed to the hat without the use of
an ornament of any kind. Neverthe-
less small fiat bows and other bows
are often used with them. AS the

these three qualities lifted him high

GOOD LESSON FROM GERMANY
There Municipalities Exercise Mild
Form Of Despotism Over the
Owners Of Property.

A common exercise of the individ-
of detail what one would do If one
had, say, $40, 900, 900, declares the New
York Tribune. The movement for
"cties beautiful" which the public
hears of every now and then resem-
bles this pastime. When Chicago,
Pittsburgh, Boston, or whatever city
it may be, considers becoming Chi.
cago Beautiful or Pittsburgh Beauti-
full or Boston Beautiful it is making
up it's mind what it would do if it
had 500, 100000. There is even a
profession of telling cities what they
might do if they had 500, OOO, 1000, and
the experts are kept fairly busy about
1t. The Tribune hopes that Brooklyn,
the latest to consult n of these ex-
perts, will have millions enough to
make her as beautiful as she wishes
to become. This consulting about
what might be done to make Ameri.
a cities more presentable is a good
sign in itself. The public is not so
content as formerly to trust their de-
velopment to haphazard. It's result
has been bad in respect of beauty, of
health and even of business economy.
But in determining their own future
development American cities are sad
ly behind those of Europe, where,
especially in Germany, municipalities
exercise a sort of benevolent despot-
Ism over the uses to which the indi.
vidual property owner may put his
property.

Of Scientific Forestry.

San Diego, CAL, is said to be the
first American city to take up scien'
tifc forestry as a municipal enter
prise. The city owns 1000 acres
of waste land, a heritage from the
time when it was a Mexican pueblo.
This tract is now set aside for grow.
ing eucalypti, and last spring 10000
seedlings were planted.
Eucalyptus is very valuable and
takes the place of many of the more
familiar hardwoods that are becoming
so expensive; 1t grows with truly trop-
ical rapidity; it will stand an enor'
nous amount of cutting and seems to
thrive under it, and a grove once well
started apparently will last forever.
In San Diego, says the Survey, the
more optimistic taxpayers are looking
forward to a time when the forest will
relieve them of all taxes and perhaps
even pay them for being citizens OF
San Diego! They are not the only
people in an American city to be con-
graduated on doing good municipal
business.
July 6, 1911, the Detroit house Of
correction passed its f1ftieth milestone.
During the last 80 years over $1,000
900 in profits were turned over to the
city of Detroit to the families of prfs-
oners and to the prisoners themselves.
Since 1880 the city of Detroit has an.
nually received sums ranging from
S9.O16.83 to S52. I'LL ga.
The original expenditure by the city
of 189,S41.36 has been turned back
into the treasury of the municipality,
the institution has paid it's own way
and in the so years show a fine bal
ance of $~1,254,17S.15. In addition to
this showing, the prisoners since July,
1901, have been receiving financial
benefits ranging from $5,958.14 to 49,
670.38 annually.
In addition to amounts paid the pris-
oners, some of which are sent by the
men to their families, provision is also
made for the families of those who
are imprisoned on the charge Of aban-
donment. This is accomplished under
a statute which provides that $3.50 a
week for the wife and an additional
SO cents for each child under Is years
of age be paid them out of the funds
of the institution.
