Which Horse Would You Buy:

V ashington, Cd. CO Times
Surprising you were about to buy a
horse.
You asked the dealer to show you
- hat he had for sale.
He led out a fine looking Percher-
on, harnessed him and hitched the
traces to a load. But when he ask
ed the horse to pull, when he said
giddap, the horse wouldn't move at
all or if he did he tried to back up
Would you buy him?
Then he hitched up another horse
and when he ordered him to pull he
went into the collar with determina-
ton and whether he moved the load
or not, gave evidence Of doing the
best he could. Would you buy him?
And if the dealer said, Il know of
another horse over in New Jersey,
but | never saw him hitched up and
don't know what he'll do in harness"
Would you buy him?
Now which horse would you buy?

WORN AT RECENT WEDDING
Costumes Of Bride and Attendants
That Were the Last Word for
Such Occasions.

At a recent wedding of Importance
some of the costumes were note.
worthy.
The brides gown was Of silver and
white brocaded satin, elaborately em.
broidered and trimmed with alencen
lace. The square court train was
three yards in length.
1t was almost completely covered
with a veil OF rare old lace, a family
heirloom.
The honor maid wore dainty frock
of palest pink mousseline de sole over
a faint tint of blue liberty silk.
The bodice had dropped fichu OF
finest Chantilly lace caught slightly
to the left side with cluster OF small
silk roses, in the pastel shades OF vio-
let, pink and yellow.
A deep flounce of six scalloped pleat.
ings OF the mousseline trimmed the
skirt. Small clusters OF the roses
were placed at intervals around the
flounce.
With this gown was worn fas-
cinating bonnet OF shirred mousseline
de sole of palest blue. A narrow
pleating finished the edge and a
wreath of small silk roses, matching
those used upon the frock, encircled
the crown and adorned the bonnet
strings.

CHARACTER SHOWN BY DRESS
Value, as Setting for the Personality
Varies With the Moods of
the Wearer.

No woman can afford to be indiffer
ent in the matter of costume, and ali
women are more or less Influenced Ivy
what they wear.
One damsel swaggers about in mas
culine effects, heavy boots, stiff collar,
tailored coat, ETC., another is sweetly
feminine in fluffy ruffies, picture hat,
chiffons, laces and parasol, and the
indiffereice to appearances is almost
invariably exactly what she looks
straight-laced, prim, severe, cold, in.
capable of any flight Of fancy, lacking
the power of sympathy, and with no
intricate uncertainties to soften the
hardness of her character.
Equally true is the fact that a gown
which is extremely becoming today is
very mediocre tomorrow. It's value as
a setting for the personality varies
with the moods OF the wearer. When
encouragement, depression and gen
eral feeling OF dullness envelops one
in gray cloud the tendency is TO don
black, a gray or a dull brown gown.
Such choice is a great mistake, tend
ing to accentuate the gloom about the
wearer Crush such choice under
foot and choose instead. the liveliest
dress in your wardrobe. Something
with red, brilliant green, bright blue
or any vivid tone.

SOMETHING OF A NOVELTY
inexpensive Lamp Shades May Be De-
signed From the Ordinary
Japanese Lanterns.

An inexpensive, novel and pretty
way of making lamp shades, especial
ly for the summer cottages, is to uti-
lize Japanese lanterns. The kind used
are the rather large, oval-shaped ones
in either a solid color or half one and
half another. The upper part to the
desired depth is cut off, guided by the
small bamboo bands which stiffen and
fold it, and is neatly trimmed off. At
the top, which is finished by black
wooden band, the wire hanger is re-
moved and in place of ii one of two
or three supports substituted. One
consists OF three wires, equidistant
around the top, and bent so as to
hang over the top of the lamp Chin
ney. Another method is regular
support fitting the top and attached to
the lamp at the base Of the chimney;
or else the lower edge Of the shade
may be wired and the usual tripod
support be used.
/ made two like this, using the first
mentioned style of hanging just for
fun this summer, and the cheerful,
red-figured Japanese lily shades made
such hit that all my neighbors made,
or had me make, the same things for
them-Harper's BaZar
