How Mrs. Whelan Forsook
Her Art to Design The
atre Costumes.

Some years ago David Belasco was
searching the city for some one who
could design the costumes for his pro-
duction of THE Rose OF the Rancho.
Mr.. Belasco. needless to state, is notably
particular about accuracy of detail ana
no ordinary costume designer would 90

BEADED EVENING ROBES.

Any woman who has the opportunity to
pick up a chiffon robe embroidered in
beads at bargain prices ought by all
means TO do so. They will be quite the
rage this winter. An attractive evening
gown seen recently was of pale pink chit-
fon mounted over satin in a deeper rose
hue. Tho distinctive touch was lent By
the decoration in the form OF small pink
roses made of beads shading from the
palest to the deepest rose tones and nest
ling among green foliage. This embroi-
derry was introduced into a corsage OF the
chiffon, 10 which the sleeves OF lace.
yelled with the chiffon, gave pretty
finish. The hand of the artist was dis
cernible In the Natter blue MORE sash
with the ends adorned with bead motifs.

For example, a few years ago We were
putting on a play of the period OF 1865, and
the leading lady fatty refused to wear
hoop skirts or dress that buttoned up
the front or hair net! Naturally. since
the temperaments of leading ladies are

must have had to do"
Besides working with librarians and In
Mr. Belasco's studio, Mrs. Whelan has
often to travel about the country TO get
local color" for costumes. When THE
Grand Army Man was being produced
she went to Indiana, choosing Marian,
where there is a soldiers home, for her
centre. Here she got much first hand
information and made many sketches.

flower festivals and planned floats OF
different kinds. One year we had Span

special children's parties, like geography
party, where l painted false table top

we had almost all nations represented by

Although Mrs. Whelan finds her avoca-

its absorption OF her time altogether
without disfavor. But then, as she says.

INTRODUCTION OF QUEEN BEE
They Are More Prolific During Thsir
First Two Years and Should Than
Be suppIanted.

Queen bees will ordinarily live and
preside over the colony for four or
ave years before being naturally su-
perseded. but like a hen they are
much more prolific layers during their
hrst two years. For this reason, and
also to improve your stock, this Is a
good time Of the year to requiem your
apiary. Remove the old queen and
the bees will at once proceed
to repair the loss by con-
strYcting queen cells for the pro-
duetioH of a young one to take her
place, writes l. F. Tillinghast in the
Country Gentleman. So If you are
satisfied with the stock nothing more
is necessary, for In about twelve days
from the removal Of the old queen a
young one Will hatch. In such cases
from two to twenty cells will be
formed, and If your old queen is of
choice breeding stock, remove her to
some other colony, and on the tenth
day after cut out carefully all except
one or two cells, and give them to
your other colonies at the time that
you destroy their queens. In day
or two these cells will hatch and any
colony will accept newly hatched
virgin.
At some times Of the year it is diff
ficult to introduce an old queen to a
strange colony without leaving her
Gagged among them for several days,
but have no trouble in removing a
queen and introducing another at the
same operation at this time of year.
while the honey fow is on, without
caging or loss of time, by sprinkling
her freely with mixture of -four and
confectioner's sugar, and running her
in before their loss is known. Under
these conditions the bees usually ac-
cept her at once.

What to Do in Case of Snake Bite
Promptness is the most important
factor in the operation, says A. S. Will
liams in the Boys Life, the Boy Scouts
Magazine. Tie any string or strip
around the finger, toe or limb between
the punctures and the heart and with a
nail, stick or anything available through
the knot, twist the ligature until the
circulation is stopped. Victim and OPP
orator should then suck and expectorate
the poisoned blood from the wound,
with cessation occasionally to loosen
the tissues by kneading the flesh; If a
knife sharp enough Is available first
make two cross cuts. as deep as the
punctures. Courage, calmness and ex-
ercise following this treatment should
enable the victim to reach physician
in favorable condition for additional
treatment. But every, Scout Master
leading boys into a region where pois-
onous snakes may possibly exist, should
carry a small vial of crystals of per-
manganate of potash; very few grains
of this in pint or a quart of water
will approximate one or two per cent
solution with which to saturate the
wound and clean bandages over it. AS
soon as available the administration of
any cathartic, laxative, aperient, or
anything that will stimulate the secre-
tons of the body might help to free the
system from the poison.
