This mare had been doing farm work

she was quick and always ready to go.

they were ready to run to pasture by
spring, and it is a very poor farmer
who cannot supply ample pasturage
for colts at least nine months in the
year. But with plenty of clover hay,
or pea hay, colts can get along with
very little grazing or grain.
If, therefore, any one is in posi-

elaborate evening costume, and the
one in a simple tailored suit.
One evening, in the boxes, there
was a surprising array of all black
hats-yeivet and ostrich feathers
and they topped costumes Of every
hue. One matron OF striking appear
ance wore such a hat, with gown of
black and white, unrelieved by any
color other than the changing lights
reflected by Il few diamonds; and an
other had a black hat, with low cut
gowE of sage green, to which was
added a maline scarf in the same
shade. Even taupe color was seen
with the somber finish of a black hat,
and there were besides the more con-
spicuous contrasts provided by black
head coverings, with gowns in emer-
aid green, rose and all the various
delicate tints and sparkles most af-
fected in the evening.
While the all black hat reigned SUI

evening it gave place to black velvet
with white or colored plumes. The
most effective plumes were the shad.

GRACEFUL ARMS MEAN MUCH
Woman Who Desires Charm Should
Cultivate Their Proper Use
and Movements.

If the woman who declared that she
would rather have beautiful arms than
be clever and good has not our entire
sympathy, at least she has our under
standing. The character of our arms
is so intimately connected with our
whole appearance Our feet, il their
modelling is at fault, may be discreet
ly yelled in skirts and tucked away
under tables and chairs, but we can
do little to disguise our arms.
The woman who has time to ex-
plot every chance of beauty which
she possesses will practice using her
hands and arms before mirror in
order that their movements shall be
graceful, but 1t is mistake for wom-
en- who are dignified and reserved to
use too much gesture. The emotion
of the moment should. If 1t is strong
enough, bring gestures into play, but
each should be expressive; meaning
less movements are only vulgar and
distracting.

READY RESULTS
FROM A DAIRY
Cow Is Constant Quantity as Far
as Her Production Is Con.
cerned - Regular
Money Crop.

The great value of dairying in con-
nection with mixed or diversified
farming is that the COW is constant
quantity SO far as her production OF
milk is concerned. She can be banked
on more than poultry, hogs or field
crops to yield a constant amount OF
salable products every week, il she
is given a variety of good feeds and
general good care.
This cash coming in at regular and
frequent intervals from dairying en-
ables the farmer of moderate means
to use the money to good advantage
as 1t is needed, for general running
expenses and making things go. For
this reason the average dairyman
should become prosperous and have
q well-improved farm.
