Tree Earns 81 oO5.

What is probably the most valuable
tree in the world is an alligator pear
tree at Whittier, Cal, which Melted
its owner a profit of $3,205 in one
year. This tree was planted in 1905
and began bearing in it's fourth year.
In 1912 it bore 5000 pears, which sold
for $1,000, while the sale of buds dur
ing the same year amounted to ST.
705, making the total given above.
The tree is a Seeding, the seed hav-
ing been planted with a quantity of
other seed which had been imported,
presumably from Mexico. Another
tree which was planted at the same
time, and which stands close to this
phenomenal bearer, has never borne
more than 80 pears in a season. This
valuable tree is now protected by a
high fence built on an octagonal plan.
The pears weigh from eight to twelve
ounces each.

PRETTY MANTELET FOR BABY
Woman Who Can Crochet May Please
Herself or Some Other Mother
With This Garment.

Can you make Irish crocheted lace,
and have you baby? They're per-
fectly serious questions, and, however
they sound, weren't meant to be funny.
You see, if you can crochet, you can
make a fascinating mantelet for
baby; but if you haven't the baby
but, of course, how stupid-there is
always somebody else's baby.
And so, there is need to ask only
one question: Can you crochet Irish
lace? If so, make a twentytw o-inch
square of Irish lace, covered with the
shamrocks and tiny roses. One corner
of the square, however, is to be round
ed. A straight line of shirring dag
onally across this rounded corner and
a row of shirring about the edge OF
the rounded corner itself makes a lit
tie cap for the baby. The remaining
three points form the capelike man
telet. Crochet a scalloped edge on the
mantelet About the diagonal line of
shirring across the rounded corner put
q band of ribbon, ending in ribbon
strings at either side This is tied in
a bow under the child's chin. For
cool weather the square should be
lined. After the crocheting is finished,
before the shirring is put on the man
telet, the lining can be put in. A
heavy soft white wash silk would be
an appropriate lining.
You will have a truly fascinating
mantelet for your baby or Baby Some
body Else.

ONE-END SASHES IN VOGUE
For YOUNG Girls Dancing School
Frocks They Are Considered
Necessary.

One-end sashes are among the smart
accessories introduced for young girls
dancing school frocks. The sashes are
made with broad plain or fancy rib
hon that goes round the waist in three
deep folds and at the back laps over
the top of a single end-made sepa-
rateIv-of the same ribbon. One pref
ty novelty consists of two strands Of
the sash ribbon set straight under the
belts loop, but gradually tapering by
means of fan-like folds to a sharp
point at the knees. This model is de-
veloped in either plain, lowered or
striped ribbon, and very pretty sash
shows the stripes coming at either
side of the plain center, while II an
other sash a strip of lowered silk
comes between two plain folds. The
same idea is carried out in square
sash end whose top edge goes half
across the back of the belt Very
unique is triangle end that makes

SIZE,
ReIioion End Science Aoree.

Religion and science, which in the
middle Of last century were in sharp
antagonism, now combine IN affirming
the same great fundamental truths OF
human life. Sir Oliver Lodges strik-
ing address to the British association
at Birmingham was a Whole-hearted
declaration against the crude, unim-
aginative materialism which used to
shelter it's negations behind the skirts
of science The basic belief of all re-
ligions is that mans corporal exis-
tence is only an incident in the life
of his spirit The conviction that per-
sonality continues beyond the grave
gives resignation to the Christian and
courage to the Moslem. 1t has been
the inspirer of the poetry, the laws,
and the thought of half a dozen vary
ing civilizations. And what the priests
have taught and the poets have felt,
the scientist now confirms. Person
atty" says Sir Oliver Lodge, persists
beyond death" The great fact that
gives human life its dignity, its re-
sponsibility, and sometimes it's terror,
remains The bishop and the biolog-
ist are of one mind.-London Daily

Coiored Hose Best,

Colored stockings with buttoned
boots are the autumn's fancy, and
many women find colored hose much
better for the feet than black hose.
In these days of narrow skirts the
stocking, even above the buttoned
boot top, is much in evidence, for
it is impossible to raise the skirt in
crossing a street, or sit on low chair
without showing little at least of
the limb above the. boot top. Silver
gray and smoke gray silk stockings
are in favor also, and certain shades
of deep, rich red. Few women wear
blue stockings, and green stockings
are little too pronounced in hue to
be popular with any but those who go
in for extremes. With the dressy eve
ming boot of patent leather, with high
French heel and buttoned top of kid,
f1esh-colored stockings or those Of pal
est buff are fancied.

this particular instance black brocad-
ed velour and plain black velour are
combined with cuffs and neck facing
of white moufflon or fox.
The upper part of brocade has wide
sleeves cut in one with the body, and
the cut-away effect of the front is the
result of the method in which the
plain velour lower portion of the wrap
is attached. This is brought up to the
bust line in a diagonal line from the
waist at either side, and from there
it rounds away across the back on a
level with the hips.
Each front section is laid in three
even plaits caught under the fur col
lar and hang from there in gracefully
draped folds to the knees.
The lower edge must be close fit
ting. This is regulated by the front
drapery at the line of closing.
Special attention is given to Innings.
They can be as elaborate as personal
taste dictates, in evening shades TO
match ones gown or in a color that
corresponds to the wrap itself.

New Phase Of Red Cross Activity

The need OF instruction in the prop
er care of children and home nursing
of the sick in the smaller towns and
rural communities of the country has
never been questioned, and although
in some cities visiting nurse Organi-
cations exist and anti-tuberculosis So
cieties support nurses in their particu-
lar line Of work, it has remained for
the American Red Cross to take up
rural nursing as a national PROPOSE
ton. Nurses who enter this service
are required by the Red Cross to have
special training or experience in pub
lie health nursing. In the Red Cross
Magazine for October Miss Fannie F.
Clement, the superintendent of Rural
Nurses, describes the organization,
plans and possibilities for good of the
rural Nursing branch of Red Cross
work.

The kimona form will be retained in
dressy effects, but usually the fore
arm will be closely fitted, this, in com

hole. This cut will be much used in
transparent bodices and in evening
wraps. Generally speaking, da.
