RARE PRESENCE OF MIND
At Least 1t Is to Be Supposed Young
Lady's Mother Regarded 1t
as Such.

Speaking of rare presence Of mind
recently recalled to ex-President Taft
the case of a handsome young woman
Of his acquaintance. She had gone to
the railway station to meet q man
friend Of the family, and when he de-
barked from the train the young man
lost his head and impulsively kissed
her. The girl thought it the part OF
prudence to tell her mother Of the af-
fair, upon which the latter was simply
Mortified.
You don't mean to tell me that he
had the impudence to kiss your" she
cried. "And to think of the crowd at
the station! Why, my dear, what did
you do in such an embarrassing stu
ation?'
why, mother, l just kissed him
back, Of course coolly replied the
young woman. II wanted to give all
those people the impression that we
were relatives" The Sunday Maya

g CARVES and muffs of ample proper
~ tons are made up in plain, fiat de-
signs, with little decorations, in the
handsomest furs. The perfect match
ing and shading of skins, and their
clever joining, affords the furrier his
opportunity to show what workman
ship can accomplish. By sewing small
skins, like ermine, moleskin and mink,
SO that they are matched together in
patterns, variety is given to the sur
face as we'll as lines Of direction, in
muffs and neckpieces. 1t is a patch
work problem worked out in fur which
appears in the best of the seasons
sets.
Designs are more beautiful this
year than we have ever had in fur
sets. There is fancy for pure ermine
that in which the black tips appear
only as trimming, and the body of
the garment is all white. Moleskin is
fashionable, and is trimmed with
other furs. Chinchilla is cut in small
pieces and matched in pattern in the
manner already mentioned. Mink,
cut in narrow strips in which the dark
streak of the back covers nearly all
the surface, is sewed into indescriba-
bly, beautiful effects.
Fur garments are rich and luxuri-
Gus, with a wealth of fine skins in evil
dence, which convinces one that the
supply must be diminishing rapidly. A
good fur should be cared for, as it
amounts to a good investment. The
supply is falling behind the demand
constantly. Every year a handsome
piece represents more money.
In the picture a wide scarf and big
fiat muff are shown in pure ermine.
The muff shows the skins seWed so
that the lines of direction are diago-
nal. There is fringe of tails across
the bottom of the muff, with five of
the tails let into the surface. Two
large fiat cabochons of the fur are
added by way of further decoration.

What So Precious
AS a Healthy B1bys
Every Yosfngsfer Can Have Fine
Digestion IF GiUen q Good
Baby Laxative.

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it is a fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use Of a laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been ON the market for two genera
tons. It can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced Of Its merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
cine for children, and 1t Is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure in its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little Of it Is required and it's frequent
use does not cause it to lose its ef-
feet, as is the case with SO many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation, indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, ETC., among
them reliable people like Mrs. James
r. Rouse, of Marinette, Wis. Her lit
tie son Howard was fifteen months old

The majority of muffs show the fat

the bottom, all are large. There is an

sign.
Fitch fur makes up into very effec-
tive sets and is immensely fashion.
able. 1t is more governed by fashion
than other of the popular furs and is
not really as valuable as the admirable
hard furs, like mink and martin.
Fox is fashionable, but not a dura-
BILE fur. An innovation this season ap-
pears in fox dyed in strange new col
ors-sulphur and curious coppery
shades among them. These eccentrici-
ties in furs are luxuries to be in
dulged in only by people who do not
need to consider economy. They are
among the fads made especially for
those favored of fortune.
The natural red fox has been deveI-
oped more attractively this season
than ever before. Undyed furs-it
may be said in passing-will outlast
dyed ones, as rule. Also they may
be dyed after seasons wear. But
few furs will stand re-dying after be-
ing worn.
Furs properly cared for and made
up in the designs nov fashionable
will give many years service. They
should be considered as jewels are.
Every within of fashion in the matter
of size and shape should not be con-
sidered with reference to them. A
flat scarf and large soft muff are
never out of style, and neither is a
good fur cape.
Besides these ample pieces, several
odd neckpieces made of what may be
called "semi-precious' furs, are much
liked this season.
At the present rate of increasing de-
mand furs will soar out of reach of the
average income in a few years. AS it
is, one wonders where the supply
comes from. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

STORAGE OF FOREST LEAVES
Material for Poultry Scratching
Shed and for Nesting.
fBy M. A. covERDELL.)

By M. A. COVERDELL.)
If farmers only understood tho
many uses to which leaves could be
put, more of them would be stored.
Some may think it takes too much
time and labor, but they are easily
and quickly gathered in various ways.
One good plan Is to hive cheap bar
rels handy, fill them with leaves, and
set them away where rain or snow
will not reach them.
Another method by which the stor-
age of leaves may be accomplished is
that of using common gunny Of bur
lap sacks. These, also, may be stored
away without emptying the sacks, and
they will be in convenient shape to
use few at a time during the winter.
If one has only small number OF
sacks, the leaves may be carried and
emptied from the sacks into some out
building not in use; but where one de.
sires to store a considerable quantity,
we find that bed-sheets, or similar
pieces of cloth, are excellent for the
purpose.
Simply spread them on the ground;
rake up the leaves with a common
garden rake and pile them on the
sheets; catch hold of each of the four
corners and draw them together. A
large quantity can be carried in this
manner, and when it is desired to
empty the sheets, let go Of one corner
and allow the leaves to roll out.
There are numerous uses to which
the stored leaves may be put. They
make suitable and economical lining
for the storage pits. The poultry
scratching is another place they
may be utilized to good advantage.
We also have used them for nesting.
They are excellent for bedding pur-
poses in the dairy barn, the hog house
and the horse stalls. Then, after they
have been used for any of these pur-
poses, they form fertilizer that Is
hard to equal, they having absorbed
all the rich liquids and juices wAer-
ever they have been used.
These are deposited with the leaves
when they are scattered over the soil.
and the rejuvenating effect is thus
greatly enhanced by the combined in
fluences of the liquids and rotted
manure.
