ARTISTIC EFFECT IN FLOWERS
Each Woman Must Study for Herself
How Best to Achieve the De-
sired Results.

Roses are best for evening wear.
Even if they are buds do not wear
three or four of them, as that would
spoil the artistic effect. Select one
bull-blown crimson rose, or delicate
yellow one If you are dark haired, and
tuck it into the coil of your hair, allow
ing 1t to nestle close to the ear. A
pink rose will look well in the Golden
hair of the blonde girl Some blondes
may wear a yellow rose with good
effect
The smart way to wear flowers on
the tailored suit it is to attach them to
the left lapel of the tailored coat. Vio-
lets look best worn near the waist line
just little to the left side, and tied
with soft, narrow, shaded violet satin
ribbon.
The girl who is just now wearing
quaint fischus and has fancy for
parting her hair in the middle and
dressing in picturesque style may
wear old-time garden flowers with ar
tistic effect. They should be made
into small bouquets and Fastened to
the chiffon scarf or the dainty null
fischu, or a bunch of loose flowers
may be worn at the corsage Yellow
daisies gracefully arranged, make an
attractive corsage bouquet
A pretty custom is tn wear one
flower which becomes associated
with your personality. Not every
girl can afford expensive jewelry, but
she can always have flowers.

SALAD MAKING.

All hostesses like to serve salads
attractively and we are all longing to
find some new and fetching way Of
presenting old materials.
Almost anything it is said except
milk and -four may be made into a
salad, yet we would avoid the com
bination of foods which do not har-
monte as we avoid inviting to our
tables those whom we know are not
congenial to our friends.
Carrots, potatoes, turnips and such
vegetables are cooked before combin-
ing in salad. Cut in cubes, or balls.
Beets are sliced or If small left whole.
Food value should come first in the
making of a salad especially where it
is to form the main part Of a meal.
like luncheon.
Then the arranging and garnishing
is a feature most important. Who
has not turned away from perfectly
good and wholesome salad because 1t
looked mussy and unattractive? The
perfection Of combination and flavor
count for nothing n the salad has
been carelessly prepared.
When meats and potatoes are used
a salad is always improved II these
stand in seasoned dressing for a while
before combining.
II green plants as lettuce, cress, par
sley and such green things are used,
they should be crisp and fresh.
Rings from red and green peppers
the coral of the tomato in fact there
is no color combination which cannot
be delightfully."- managed with vegeta-
bles.
The point to salad is it's favor,
and If it is elusive and unnamable so
much the better, we all like mystery
in a degree even in our food.
The salad dressing is another i'm
portant consideration. The simplest
is the French, the most popular Is
mayonnaise.
For French dressing one part OF
vinegar with three parts oil is good
proportion, with salt and pepper to
taste. A teaspoonful of powdered
sugar is liked by many.

COL0RED FOOTWEAR IN VOGUE
Black and White Combinations Still
Popular, Though Not in the
Latest Style.

Great attention is paid to footwear
by we'll dressed women at present.
The most dressy styles are the sandal
effects with and without buttons. High
button boots have sandal strap open
ings, and low shoes in sandal strap
style are in the button form.
Low-cut slippers are laced in sandal
fashion with ribbons or leather straps
across the instep, and fasten around
the angles. Sometimes the strapping
is simulated by an openwork design.
This gives to the slipper a more per
manent shape and outline than if the
straps were fastened at will when the
shoe iy worn.
Lace. shoes in English style have the
vamp Of the shoe in black leather,
with a tan or biege cloth top, which
is trimmed with strips of brown leath-
er. These strips cover the instep and
the back seams of the CATERS. If
shoe is made in a brown leather
with a brown cloth top these little
strips or bands are in black to afford
contrast.
Black and white combinations in
footwear continue to be popular, in
spite Of the fact that colors are the
newest feature in costumes. Black
patent feathers with white undressed
leather tops, both in high button and
in low button shoes, are much worn.
A very smart model has a gaiter inset
of white silk rubber, over which the
instep piece of white leather fastens
with impression snap buttons.

Hessonite.

Hessonite might be new disease
or new fad, but it's simply a new
shade and it's named for the Grand
Duke of Hesse. The shade, which is
neither distinctly rose nor amethyst.
but blending of the two, is found
chiefly in the semi-precious stones of
translucent composition and brilliant
luster such as are used for necklaces,
chains and lorgnette holders, as well
as for hatpin tops and toilet pins of
a minor character. Hessonite, con-
sidered as color, somewhat partakes
of the futurists' idea of shade blend
ing, for the rose and the amethyst
tones SO melt into each other that it
is impossible to say which one has the
stronger characteristic.

MISSISSIPPI PENAL
FARMS PROFITABLE
Secretary Of the Institution

Plan Works

BALTIMORE. Nd oct. s.-The
suggestion of a State penal farm for
Maryland as a substitute for some Of
the contract work now being done in
the Penitentiary directs attention 70
the experience of states where such
farms are in operation. One of these
states where the penal farm is in
successful operation and turning in
a profit to the state is Mississippi.
which has four such institutions.
The largest of these" says the
secretary Of one of the institutions,
IN letter to a Baltimore paper is the
Parchman state farm In the Yazoo-
Mississippi delta. II contains more
than 10000 acres. Thirteen hundred
negro convicts are worked there. and
they produce annually ZOO bales of
cotton, 100000 bushels of corn. 100,-
600 gallons of molasses. 1900 tons of
hay and other farm products in pro-
portion. This farm also manufac-
lures lumber. shingles. brick, etc,
and clears each year for the state
about $250,000 above all expenses.
The value of the Parchman farm,
with Sall its improvements, stock. inn
plememts. ETC., is more than $1,500,-
900.
One Hundred Negroes Worked.
''Thet Belmont state farm is also
an the tYazoo- Mississippi delta, and
contains 2. 900 acres. where 100 negro
,convicts are worked. They make
each year about 500 bales of cotton
10000 bushels Of corn, $4,000 gal
ions OF molasses and other things in

belf-sustaining and turns money into
the state treasury each year.

the cage. and when the gun men"
are marched to the fields. four to
eight TRUSTEES guard at every camp.
II is not often that a prisoner tries
to escape. The average is one per
month for each camp, which is a
small percentage considering the
number Of men handled, and the op-
portunities they have to run away.
Many who run are caught after a few
hours chase with bloodhounds. But
occasionally one gets away.
mississippi has about 1850 con-
victs About $500 are able TO work
at something. The others are Grip
pies and chronic sick who lounge
about at the cages or hospitals and
do little or nothing.
Each prisoner costs the State
about 800 per year, including farm
produce consumed
Each prisoner clears for the State
each year, above all expenses more
than 800.
THE Parohman farm raises each
year about $7000,000 worth OF cotton,
and the Belmont farm raises about
$4,000 worth of cotton. The revenue
from the States cotton alone more
than pays the expenses OF maintain
ing the penal farms, not counting the
revenue from the sale Of other pro-
ducts"
