STYLES MUCH MORE SIMPLE
Richness Of Attire That Has Marked
Past Seasons Has Been Con-
slderably Modified.

This year the girl who is trying to
adjust the balance between a self
respecting smartness of attire and a
minute income has everything on her
side. Compared with last years rich
ness and eccentricity, which made the
task more than puzzling to the home
dressmaker, there is a notable revival
OF the severely simple.
Hats with hardly any trimming at
all, braid and buttons in lieu of en-
broideries, simply cut dresses of one
color only, and the plainest of coats
sld SKIRTS, are few of the sweeping
changes in store for us. There is
very little doubt that the majority OF
women will welcome the new order Of
things.
Foremost among the revivals of the
winter is the return to favor of our old
friend. the blouse. which suffered a
period of almost total eclipse during
the summer. when the all conquering
little frock" swept everything before
1t. 1t comes back absolutely in its
earliest and most elementary form.

the blouse was first made known to

Wherever there are dogs and sheep
together there is constant danger that
the latter will at some time suffer.
Sheep are SO constructed that even
worrying by dogs seems to shock their
nervous systems to such an extent
that they seldom prove probable. In
most states there are laws against
depreciation by dogs, but because of
their construction many of them are
dead letters, writes G. w. Franklin, in
the Country Gentleman.
/ have long since ceased to look
to the law for any loss sustained In
depredations by dogs. / take the
privilege of protecting my sheep in
my own way. My first precaution was
to provide plenty of bel1s--as many as
one to every six or ten animals.
When the sheep were unduly excited
the bells made such noise that they
would frighten some dogs, and would
at least arouse sleepers to look after
the flock. Finding that this did not
work. satisfactorily, however, hung
lanterns out near the sheppard, but
the dogs became so bold they paid no
attention to the lights or to the noises.

night was dark, but when we got to
the foot of the tree in which the dog
had treed the coon soon discovered
him, all in a bunch. on a good-sized
limb ten feet from the ground. and
got ready to climb the tree and kick
the coon of the limb down to the dog.

was perching. Then he ran out to the

Il crept along the limb until l came
within kicking distance of the coon.
The limb was too big for me to, shake
him OF. I reached up and grabbed 1t
with one hand and aimed tremen-
dous kick at the coon.
The kick landed all right and
knocked the coon from his hold and
of the limb. But the force of the kick
broke my hold on the limb above and

tumble. caught one arm on the
lower limb as went down and quick
ly grabbed the limb with my other

The limb being only ten feet from the
ground, I had only a couple of feet to
drop as l hung. but l hung on and
listened to hear the coon hit the
ground and the dog pitch into him.

STgHE very large cities, and few
smaller ones, have succeeded In
establishing the custom of five
O'Clock tea.' which is altogether
worth while. 1t is a little event in
the day, for those who would other
wise stay at home, which takes wom-
en- out OF doors for space and brings
them into inspiring touch with each
other. After the matinee or the after
moons shopping one may see women
at their prettiest In the tea rooms of
the hotels, or the great shops, or at
those confectioners who are wise
enough to provide an attractive rem
dezvous for homeward bound patrons.
The comfortable part is that one may
be gowned appropriately in the plain
est of tailor-mades or in more preten-
iious visiting costumes. and. in the
matter of millinery, everything is ad-
missabble, with the tendency toward
dressy hats, ever growing in favor.
Hats plain. more hats semi-dress and
most hats dressy may be looked for
at the five o'clock tea.
This latitude in millinery is por-
trayed in the three hats shown here.

1t Is a commentary on American
agriculture that in certain sections
there are farms of 100 or more acres
than can be bought for less than the

some cases for less than the policy In

buildings.

1t certainly can not, by the old
methods.
The old owner may remain, but the
old farming must stop.
Here are some suggestions. Put 80
acres of the 100 to growing trees.
, These may be forest trees or in
part an apple orchard.
II the farm has any smooth level
