REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In oIden Days, Among Other Accom-
Iishments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter of old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady of the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-
tress of the ceremonies-she carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
ly pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu, for IL she
gave dinner of several courses 1t
was her duty to announce to the
guests. seated expectantly. what was
due to appear at table. A dinner of
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle persua-
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight of knife in posi-
ton was the signal for the hostess to
inquire ''if he would please to have
something more"
In the art of carving. of course.
the mistress of any country house
was past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's fight after perfec-
tion under the wing of professional
carving master: "She took three les
sons week, that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days; when, in
order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions, she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand"

TAFFETA FRILL MOST USEFUL
Just the Right Thing to Supplement
Hem Of Marqulsette or
Chiffon Frock.

1t is on the hem Of marquisette
or chiffon frock that the brunt of the
wear comes, but now fashion permits
a taffeta frill at this point. and the
skirt can trail without disturbing the
wearer's. peace of mind. A lovely
chiffon gown is SO finished, and to
countenance the scanty frill shirred
over cords at the hem there are two
cordings in the chiffon little above
the knee and about two inches apart.
These pull in but do not hobble the
fulness of the skirt, which is again
shirred over heavy cord at the waist
line. The frock, of course, is a one
piece affair. The surplice waist closes
with two gorgeous buttons and finishes
in narrow rolling collar of taffeta.
Over the taffeta collar is second COL
lar of filmy handkerchief linen adorned
with finest Madeira handwork, which
takes the shape OF monks cowl at
the back. The taffeta again appears
in quantity twisted bow and sash
ends which are attached at the waist
line.

Graduated PLATING.

The introduction of graduated plait-
Ing removes the last hope that the
skinny hem will continue.
One of the newest models in plated
dresses was seen recently. and 1t was
quite a pleasing compensation, in
spite of the fascination of the slim
silhouette.
For the sunray skirt clings and
gives at the same time and all women
must agree in time that the more
graceful mode is the line which gradu.
ally widens, rather than that which
decreases at the foot.
The woman of ancient Greece could
not have maintained her graceful gait
in hobble. although In ancient Egypt
there was some such style. We are
never content and even fashions
ever-changing wheel does not revolve
quickly enough to please us all, and
SO We shall go on from one generation
to another.

The following letters have been re-
ceived from farmers located in various
sections of the country on the merits
and demerits of the mule and the
horse.
Il have had thirty years. experience
in working horses and mules on to-
bacco wheat and corn farm, and |
prefer the mules. Their feet are
smaller and they injure very little Of
the tobacco and corn; they are less
liable to disease. less fastidious In ap-
petite, will endure greater hardships,
are longer-lived, and worry the plow-
man less, as they are more steady.
Not one horse is used for farm work
to ten mules, in this section of the
country."-W. e. r., Kentucky.
"On large farms where there is
steady work and lots of it, have
found the mules the most profitable.
They can do certain amount of work
at less expense for feed. are tougher.
and, in proportion to weight, stronger
than horses. While they stand neglect
and ill-treatment better than horses,
they appreciate kindness just as we'll

year, and are all the better for it,

the heat and hard work better; he is
not SO susceptible to disease as a
horse. / know mules which, in plow-
ing in garden Will step over hills
of potatoes or other vegetables with
as much care as the gardener would
ask. l never saw a horse that would
try to avoid stepping on a hill, and
in some instances they seem to make
a point of trampling down everything
in reach of their big feet."-L. w. c.,
Tennessee.
Our experience with mules leads
us to believe they are harder than
horses; they are seldom sick. their
shoulders hardly ever become sore and
they are more easily taught what is
expected of them. We have never yet
known of mule being injured in any
respect from over-feeding They
know when to quit eating. For steady
work and hard knocks we prefer the
mule every time. The farmers of the
west are beginning to appreciate them
at their true value, as the number OF
mule teams now in use. compared to
what there was few years ago, fully
attests."-H. G. s., Kansas.

NJ, Illinois.
Where farming operations are car

Mules endure warm climate better
than horses. largely because they do
not over-feed or over-exert themselves

the place of the mule in the south.
The mule is very valuable in garden

which make it easy to work small

GIVE CHICKENS
BEST OF CARE
Birds of All Ages Should Be Ex-
amined During tho Hot
Months for Little
Mites and Lice.
tBy NJ. B. BERNARp.l

All the old birds. and young, too,
hould be examined frequently during
the hot months because then 1t is
that the lice and mites thrive.
II cut bone or chopped meat ia fed
during the summer extra precautions
must be taken to have it perfectly
fresh.
Many birds die from eating bone
and meat scraps which have been al
lowed to lie around exposed to the
heat and the flies.
In feeding chickens, always remem-
ber that they are provided for to pro-
duce fresh eggs for human feed and
therefore their own feed should be
just as pure as that we eat ourselves.
The hot sun will cause young gos-
lings and ducklings as well to topple
over and die. Provide shade for them
until they are strong on their pegs.

New York and Its Millinery.

Whatever may be said about the
dresses. which are for the most part
very freakish and unbecoming. there
is little or no adverse criticism about
the hats. which are really lovely and
of great diversity Of shapes and color.
The demand at present is for the close

tiny pokes. but unquestionably large.

COVERING WALLS
WITH WISTARIA
Common Purple Variety Ia Best
Adapted to Hide Great
Vacant Spaces
Needs Pruning.
(By WALTER B. LEUTz.)

We seldom see great wall spaces
covered with wistaria, yet it is to
our eye the most beautiful flower for
that purpose that grows.
The Japanese wistaria is not SO
well adapted to this purpose as the
common royal purple flower of Amer
lea. To get the best results the vine
must be constantly pruned and kept
back for two or three years, else 1t
will run in long streamers and the
flowers will hang straight down. The
vines must be trained to run In all
directions.
We can never forget the wall of a
large old house in Richmond, Va, that
is covered with this beautiful flower.
The wall is about seventy feet high
and is one soft mass of ravishing
beauty. In this climate the vine needs
no attention after it has once been
well started. and blooms early and
late.
