LINING IS IMPORTANT PART
French Women Are Most Particular
as to This, and Their Juda-
nent Is Good.

French women adore Innings, and
when new coat, or stole, or muff is
being chosen the lining is certainly as
important as the outside material
Furs will have white satin Innings
covered with real lace: evening coats
will be enchantingly lined with layers
of chiffon in different shades, SO that
when the coat falls away from the
shoulders a beautiful effect of color
catches the eye.
Underpetticoats of vivid chiffon have
the same result when the upper skirt
is lifted. A tailor-made OF quite or
binary serge will be lined with dainty
silk Powered cachemire. in fact, lin
ings are large items in the mind Of
the woman who understands the art of
dress.
Nothing gives a surer note of dis
tinction to a garment than its inside
material, and one may go so far as to
say that tailor-made or evening
cloak Of any kind, that is badly or in
differently lined is as lacking In finish
as hair that is not well brushed or
shoes that are not irreproachable in
heels, soles and general polish.

TIDY HABITS TO BE PRICED
Fortunate indeed Is the Woman or
Girl Who Has systematically
Cultivated Them.

Tidiness is one of the most attrac-
tive of feminine qualities. 1t is also
one of the rarest. Early and per-
sistent must be the training which
carries the girl into womanhood with
her bump of neatness" well de-
veloped.
Unless inherently fastidious during
school days, she is liable to drift into
careless habits which she never out
grows.
One girl may have a trick OF leaving
shoes about her room. As child she
was permitted to do this, and as she
grew older the untidy custom was
never abandoned, for the simple rea-
son that she herself did not notice
anything unusual about 1t. and prob.
ably nobody else took the trouble to
correct her Another slovenly habit
is leaving a bunch of combings in the
comb or on the dressing table. Con-
slant vigilance on woman's part is
necessary in these small matters II
she would be thought really tidy.

Keeping Farm Accounts.

Farm accounts, to be practical. mus,
be of the very simplest possible ma.
ture. and require a minimum amount
of time for their up-keep. Accounts
are valuable only as they are careful
ly kept. The occupation of the farm
er lis naturally not conducive to book
keeping habits. When one works hard
in the field all day, he does not. as a
rule. feel like working a great deal
over books. With some simple and
practical system of keeping track OF
various items each day. in some sort
of day-book, one can later take time
in the winter when other things are
less rushing, and work up his bal
ances. Young people, especially,
should be encouraged II they show
any desire to try TO keep farm no
counts.

EASY TO RESTORE NECKWEAR
Process Not Expensive, and Complete
Return of the Original Freshness
ls Sure.

These dainty accessories to our
wardrobes become soiled very quickly,
and we often regret having to use wa
ter upon them, for they never regain
their first freshness.
To send them to the dry cleaners
each time is an expensive luxury. They
may be cleaned in this manner at
home:
When a number of pieces have ac-
cumulated, place them In a quart jar
and fill 1t three-quarters full Of gaso-
line.
After closing it alright, shake Wig
orously and allow 1t to stand for sew
eral hours. Shake from time to time.
Remove the articles and rub the
soiled spots with a pure white soap.
using an old toothbrush. Repeat this
process until the neckwear is thor
oughly clean.
Hang out of doors, that the air may
quickly dry them. When the gaso-
line has evaporated, bring them in
and hang them in warm place.
Heat helps wonderfully in dispell-
ing the odor of gasoline.
Place in a closely covered box con.
tanning sachet bags. Byt the time the
neckwear is needed 1t will have lost
the disagreeable odor.

tBy OSCAR ERF)
Pure-bred animals are those that
produce their form, habits or other
distinctive qualities with uniformity.
In order that we may get offsprings
like the parent and like each other we
must have animals whose ancestors
for many generations back have been
of ono type. The more generations OF
such uniformity, the more certain it
WILL be that the young will possess
similar quality.
The wild ANIMALS OF any one kind
or species in one locality have been
of similar type for many generations
and may be considered as pure-bred.
By the law OF natural selection, indi-
viduals not suited to live in that par
ticular locality have been welded out.
When animals are domesticated,
and moved to other climates. and are
fed different foods. only such indi-
viduals will live and produce young
as are suited to the new conditions
But another factor changes domestic
animals more rapidly. Men breed only
such specimens as please their fancy;
and this artificial selection replaces
natural selection. During the many
centuries OF domestication the chick
ems of different parts of the world
have developed into different types.
When these radically different types
are brought together and crossed We
have produced young that are very
different from the parents and from
each other. Nor can these young be
depended upon to reproduce offspring
like themselves. They are said to be
cross-bred. or. If the mixing be for
several generations they are known
as mongrels. By selecting from cross
bred or mongrel stock such chickens
as are desired, and breeding these to-
gether for many generations. new
breeds may be established.
One strain OF chickens may be Sc
lected for uniform color OF feathers,
another for a certain size and shape
another for laying large eggs OF a Ger.
tain color, and yet another strain for
being producers OF many eggs. Each
OF these strains might be well-bred in
these peculiar traits. but would be

demanded as will serve to distinguish

pearance. The standards adopted by
breeders of this class OF animals give
relatively small consideration to fancy
points, whereas poultry breeders con.
slider about one-half of the value OF
their birds to depend ON color OF
feathers alone, while the judgment
Of shape is based upon the outline
produced by the feathers and not on
the true body shape. The standard

the standard, although not based on

nearer producing an ideal carcass than

Moreover, poultry breeders. while still

chickens. Considering these facts, 1t
is an enormous idea to think that
mongrel chickens offer any advantage
over pure-bred stock for meat or for

Stock or Eggs.

would have saved had you started
in with pair or a trio of good
breeders instead of the flock of Gull

which even the most experienced poul-
tryman would have found difficult in
handling?
How often have you thought about
advi ing those about to start in with
chickens to put their money in good
stock or eggs at the outset instead
of fretting with worthless stock for
two or three seasons before realizing
their mistake?
How often have you given this ad-
vice to a deaf ear, become provoked
and then got in a good humor again

had been and Of the time you had in
