A Good Place for the Lantern.

there is always a chance for fire, says Successful Farming. Sometimes one will set the lantern too close to the COW, when milking, and something usually occurs. The COW is scared, a shoat runs in, and in it's haste the lantern is overturned, and something follows.
 Now, let us overcome all of these difficulties. If your stable is not ar ranged that you may fix wire just in this position, get the idea. Put up a wire. Make a hook like the one illustrated out of No. or wire. Bend the wire so that it will be i'm possible to remove the lantern by an ordinary jerk or sudden movement. See that the wire is not too close to the loft, or any trash or dust accu- mutation.

GOWN FOR THE YOUNG LADY
Velvet Dresses Considered Most Ap- proPriate-Changes in the Color
 of NeckWear.

Velvet dresses for young girls are the smart thing of the afternoon wear. They are made with a long waist and a short skirt, made of two circular fiounces; between these is a satin belt or sash. A collar of pique or lace, cut sailor or rounding, is the usual neck finish. The sleeveless over blouses of velvet that are seen on the growr-up dresses are also feature of those worn by girls of fourteen.
 They are rather like a middy Blouse in shape, but not so long, and the arm-hole is very much enlarged, so that the foundation dress of serge shows.
 Different shaped buttons not only come in plain colors in dark modish shades, brown, plum, blue and lawns, but are also decorated by odd stripes of a contrasting color. Sometimes there Is only one stripe across the center, sometimes 1t is the button edge that has pencillike lines of a deeper or lighter color
 The suit coats are made both in the long and in the short lengths Some of the smart models are of the redingote type, the coat reaching the three-quar- ter length.
 Some of the lace guimpes aze of em- broidered net of the applique type of lace, and they finish at the top with a round neck chat does not come quite up to the base of the throat.

KEEPING HANDS IN CONDITION
During Frosty Weather They Need Much Care and Will Repay At

It is very difficult to keep the hands soft in frosty weather, especially if one Is ones own housemaid.
 An inexpensive wash if one has some leftover milk on hand Is to soak them in warm milk. A bottle of glycerin and rose water kept on the bathroom shelf and applied when the hands are wet after washing, will help also. Vaseline may promote a growth of hair on the hands, but there is nothing better for loosening dirt under the nails than a little vaseline pushed under the nail at night before retiring; it not only removes the soil,
