Worth Has Been Primarily ;Respon-
sible for the Great Popularity
Accorded This Fashion.

1t would be difficult to estimate the
amount Of money put into German
rhinestones for this seasons use on
gowns. Worth was a leader in the
lavish display of these crystals during
September In Paris, and the Ameri-
cans have not only brought back
gowns that are heavy with these gilt
tering stones, but the manufacturers
have brought back ornaments In most
ingenious shapes made of the strass
stones and ask high price for them.
There are bowknots made entirely
of the stones, with danglers from the
edges; these are applied to the front
Of a bodice and sometimes they catch
the drapery at the left knee. The
short sleeves are made entirely of the
stones strung on supple thread; cir
dies, wings and medallions are built up
of them ready to put at any spot
where they will do the most good.
Fringes of rhinestones, which are most
expensive, are pretty at the edges OF
bodices and sleeves, and short panels
of them are used for the skirt and the
back Of bodices.
So-called necklaces of rhinestones
set in silver are sold by the yard to
outline the edge of the decolletage.
and unless you have seen this you
cannot image how attractive it is un-

Its Presence In Wardrobe slmpIIfies
Immensely the Question Of Ap-
proprlate Dress.

Many women are simplifying the
clothes problem nowadays by includ-
ing in their wardrobe one plain tai
lored suit cut on mannish lines and
devoid Of any suggestion of trimming.
So many occasions arise when just
such suit Is the only appropriate
thing to wear II one would not only
look smart, but feel perfectly COM
Portable as we'll, that few women can
forego the comfort of 1t.
The new materials are indescrib-
ably handsome in themselves this
spring Take the hair-line striped
worsteds, for instance, in the various
shades of plum, navy-blue, purple, and
gray combined with black. These ma
terials tailor perfectly and lend them
selves SO we'll to the new vogue of
trimming with bands Of self-material
set on contrariwise that they are
counted as tra-smart.-Harper's Ba-

School Frocks for Girls.

The young girls simple frock for
school wear Is made Of light weight
wool material or of the serviceable
mohair and designs are most SIM
pie with smartness added in the way
of plain satin or silk pipings, bands or
collars and rows of small buttons.
Buttons always give smart and
dashing look when used plentifully,
and dozens of tiny metal buttons, set
in rows, are used for the Frightening
of little girls dresses. Soft sashes of
satin or chiffon, weighted with fringe,
are also used on the models designed
for young misses in their teens, and
these sashes lend graceful and
charming touch. Skirts are usually in
tunic style, or with band trimmings
that suggest the tunic, and bodices
cross over in surplice fashion, fas-
tening with cord loops or fancy but
tons. These dark school frocks are
made dainty and girlish by the addi-
tion of narrow, hand embroidered col
lar and cuff sets.

RicheIieu Embroidery.

Richelieu embroidery is a style of
work where the figures forming the
design are outlined with buttonhole
stitch.
The material inside the outline is
then cut away with sharp-pointed scis-
sors and the empty space is filed in
with buttonhole bars, bridges or 9th
er fancy stitches.
1t is an elaborate form OF Roman
embroidery and is sometimes called
"cut work" 1t is very durable and
exceedingly handsome. Alliance en-
broidery in combination of shadow
work and eyelet embroidery in the
same design. This alliance of two
kinds of embroidery is often used on
gowns and hats.

Laced-Edaed Dollles.

In making a set of round doilies for
gifts one woman made the discovery
that by stitching narrow hens in the
edges with a rather long machine
stitch she could very easily crochet
linen thread lace on the edges. catch
ing loop of the linen thread in each
machine stitch.
A simple wreath of scattered dais-
les and leaves was embroidered on
each linen circle, then a two-inch edge
of lace, resembling torchon, was cro-
cheted about the edge of each. The
effect is wonderfully good. The work
is easily done. making a charming
set for gifts.

used as a trimming than as an entire
covering for hats.
A fine exception to this rule is
shown in the hat of black and white
striped silk, faced with black velvet,
pictured here. The handsome fancy
feather carries out the idea of stripes
with the monotony destroyed by a
mottled white stripe and base of
pure white marabout. The hat is an
exquisite piece of millinery art.
In the second hat pictured a black
crown and white brim are finished
with made quill Of white velvet
striped with black soutache braid.
Either of these hats may be worn
with almost any sort of gown and
upon almost any occasion. They are
both smart and practical.

In millinery, striped materials are
mainly used for attaining brilliant ef-

deadly to young chicks, are also
points in favor Of artificial incubation.
There are great many kinds and
styles Of incubators on the market at
the present time, each ono having its
advocates. No one mako, however,
can be recommended As superior to
another, as most Of them give salts
faction when handled according to the
instructions of the manufacturers.
Good incubators are the rule rather
than the exception There are two
general classes of incubators. the hot
air machine, and the hot water ma
chine. The principle involved is the
came in both, namely, that Of supply
ing all portions of the egg-chamber
with a uniform degree Of heat. A
kerosene lamp furnished the heat IN
both kinds of incubators.
An egg must be strongly fertile to
produce a healthy chick. To insure
the best fertility eggs should be 80
lected from a pen or flock Of vigorous
mature hens, preferably two or ta1ee
year old fowls. Give them q good
range and a variety Of wholesome
food The size, the color, and shape
Of the average egg laid by the flock
should be the basis for the selection
Of eggs for incubation. Eggs that
show an extreme porosity Of the shell,
and those that are malformed in any
way, or are unusually large or too
small, should be discarded. In most
cases such eggs are not fertile, and II
they do hatch the chicks are weak and

rarely live to maturity. A uniform lot
Of eggs will give the best results. It
should also be borne in mind that the
fertility Of tho egg is greatly inhu-
enced by its age.
The rules for the operation Of the
modern incubator are few and simple.
Printed instructions from the manu-
facturers usually accompany the ma
chine and should be carefully follow

attention to details is essential to the
best success. The proper location Of

cellar is usually recommended for this
purpose, but good results can be Sc

Probably no other phase Of artificial

appears to be that only in dry ell

sideration.
