Can you imagine the consternation in financial circles if women determin- ed to do without artificial flowers. os- trich feathers. chiffons, straws and velvets for headgear? South Africa would be obliged to find another use for her vast ostrich farms, the artificial flower makers would be thrown out of employment down in the lower east side of New York; also in Paris. where the fine French flowers are made. Why, there is no end to the distresses and failures and reverses to which the country would be subjected if by any chance women should whimsically de- eide to do without hats.
 Statistics are never amusing. but right here they may be quoted with some Illuminating effect upon this financial question.

THE other evening at a fashionable
 hotel seated at a table in the cen- ter of the room, was a woman of not a day less than forty. With her were a man of middle age. a young girl of twenty and a young man of about twenty five.
 But the futility of middle age trying to pass for youth! The older woman's dress was twenty years too young for her-from the baby doll shoes to the "spit' curls in front of her ears. Her constant giggle and kittenish, silly grimaces filled every one around with an almost unconquerable longing to cry out: Don't go on with 1t! Give up the pretense and let your years rest gracefully! Can't you see yourself how pitiful it is to think that forced gayety can compete with the vivacity of youth?"
 How much younger the woman would have seemed if the perpetual straining after the vivacity which be- longs solely to the days of youth were not so obvious! The forced and un-

The declared invoice figures for the year appearing in the records of the American consulate general at Paris show that American women bought costumes amounting in value to $2.- 8O0,000, while the expenditure for mill linery was $4,S60,000. The lingerie bill was $1,255.00O, while another $2,000.000 was added to the total for purchases of feathers and artificial fruit and dow- CTS.
 The French hat not only retains its old time vogue in the United States. but is increasing in popularity, while it apparently is losing favor to some xtent in other countries. For 1913 the total value of French millinery exports showed decline of $4,000,000 from the exports of 1912. But. while women elsewhere were thus buying fewer hats

natural vivacity only emphasized the fact that she had outgrown the spon- taneity of years ago. It's no use try ing to shine with the weapons of youth where there are other women as IT. vals to whom light hearted gayety Is natural because they are young.
 But the older woman has-or ought to have-compensating charms which the years have brought her. It is far better to cultivate these than to array herself on the losing side by employ ing the weapons she can no longer handle with skill or success.
 The woman of forty has an armory of even more potent Vaccinations at her command if she will only make good use of them. Life has given her a knowledge of human nature. 1t has given her interesting experiences. Her tact, her sympathy, her power of ex- pressing her views interestingly and her faculty for drawing out what is best in others are the compensating charms-the rival charms to the gaucheries of youth.

 But it would be interesting to know what would happen in the industrial world if women should suddenly de- eide that hats were just as unneces- sary a part of their wardrobe as petti coats, for the department of commerce in Washington offered as one explana- ton for the failure of the H. B. Clafiin company that women's present aversion to petticoats had swamped the com pany with white goods which could not even be given away.

PEPPERS WITH HAM,

HERE is a rule that calls for a quar-
 ter of a cupful of finely chopped, cooked ham. This should be put in a saucepan with two teaspoonfuls of butter four finely chopped shallots or a little onion and cooked gently for ten minutes. Two teaspoonfuls of flour should then be sprinkled over the ham. and after this has been mixed in a cupful of favored soup stock should be added.
 To this mixture should be added one chopped green pepper chopped pars- ley. two or three chopped raw sau- sages and. if desired eight canned mushrooms, chopped fine. When this is mixed and cooked for five or six minutes longer it should be taken from the fire and added to a quarter of a cupful of breadcrumbs.

To BeaufiW y our
 EYes

THERE can be no doubt that, no mat
 ter how pretty a face is. beautiful eyes add hugely to it's attraction. without beautiful eyes no face is per- feet. and no plain face is really plain if the eyes are redeeming feature. The first essential toward beautiful eyes is long, fine lashes and well de- fined, well shaped eyebrows. The wo- man whose eyelids are red must reme- dy this defect. Eyelids become red usually from tiny grains of dust which settle under the lids and are rubbed in with the fingers. A slight inflammation sets in and the lashes are apt to fall ; yut. This of course, destroys their beauty, and if not remedied soon will probably result in permanent disfig- urement. Therefore remember never to rub the eyes.
 The best course to take Is to bathe the eyes in little boracic acid. Put a little into a saucer-about a teaspoon ful-cover 1t with warm water. let it stand two or three minutes until 1t clears, then bathe the eyes. If an eye cup is at hand for this operation SO much the better.
 There is nothing more beneficial for the eyebrows than brushing them. Get a small eyebrow brush and brush them well but gently several times a day. After washing the face at night and brushing the brows in this way heat a tfttie vaseline and with a small brush apply it to the roots of the hair. This will increase the growth of the brows and make them look glossy. Vaseline can be applied in the same way to the lasheS.

1t is perhaps hardly necessary to ad- vert to the popular fallacy that a fish diet contains phosphorus in special manner to renovate the waste of the brain and so support mental work. There is no foundation for such an ig- norant belief. The value of fish as a food to the sedentary, like white meat, lies alone in the fact that it takes less time to digest and does not place so much work on the stomach to bring about complete digestion as red meat does.

 The humming bird will visit you in search of food. Have you ever thought how beautiful these tiny birds are? They are the loveliest birds we have. They feed on the sweet honey juice that they find in the deep cups of flowers. Their nests are like tiny bowls. made from the light gray lichen found on the branch es of trees, and lined with cot ton and silk threads found on flowers and plants. In one of these nests two wee white eggs are laid and in about 10 days two little hummers begin to twitter there.
 Flowers not only feed these tiny birds but add much beauty to a home. Running birds with their feathers of the most brill iant colors, flash and glow like splendid gems, as they dart in and out among the beautiful lill- ies. They fly so swiftly that you cannot see their wings move. As they hover above flower the wings make a soft low sound. Their song is a soft low, gentle too, for Ithe birds are so small that, of course you could not ex- pect a big voice from anything so small. You could enclose one of them in your hand.
 The snow bird is very gentle little fellow if he dosen't get frightened. He will hunt crumbs where the chickens are fed and come near our windows, but now Spring is here and he will not be with us long.
 Have you any doves on :your farm to stay all the year? They are very gentle. beautiful and welcome. They wander about the fields and seem to likk child ren.
