Scarfs Match Hangings.

The scarfs for the furniture OF your
room may be made to match the
hangings by cutting out single mo-
tifs of cretonne and applying them
to the scarf ends. Place them on
the material in an attractive way and
haste. They can either be sewed with
an over-and-over stitch around the
edge or buttonhole in place. If, how
ever, you wish a quicker method, ma
chine stitch close to the edge around
the entire motif.

OF course there may be isolated
cases where it pays best to manufac-
ture the milk right on the farm, into

much work and hardly pays when
there is creamery or cheese factory

KIND OF DALRYING
MAN WILL ATTEMPT
Much Depends Upon Location of
Farmers Land-Much Ad-
vantage in Freight Rates.
(By WILLIAM A. FREEHoFF.)

(By WILLIAM A. FREEHOFF.)
The kind of dairying a man will at
tempt depends largely upon the loca-
ton of his land. If the farm is within
a mile or two of some large city,
worth several hundred dollars per
acre, the most profitable type will be
the retail milk farm.
This milk, or sweet cream, even,
must be of high class, and must sell
for correspondingly high price in
order to be profitable. The farmer SIM
ply cannot afford to make butter or
cheese on such expensive land and
make it pay dividends.
In summer, during the ice cream
season, there is heavy demand on
some days, and a lighter call on others.
There is no uniform price. The dairy
man will have to make quite elaborate
arrangements with retailers in order to
sell all of his products to advantage.
There is another disadvantage, how
ever-that is, the matter Of freight or
express rates. Then there are those
men beyond the easy reach Of some
city markets. About the best thing
they can do is to haul their milk or
cream to a cheese factory or creamery,
as the case may be.
They may even arrange to have a
man call for the cream at stated inter
walls. This method of dairying has the
advantage that the skim milk or whey
remains on the farm, and thus less
fertility is carried off.
But often there are very isolated
farms, those which are too far from
the city to cater to the retail trade and
too far from any city to ship sweet
cream.
These men may we'll sell to a cen
tralized plant. This factory, which &C

The Couture.

Before we choose our hat or toque
we must make sure of our hair. The
IatesG mode seems to be to hide the
ears; the forehead is seen. The out
line is simple, but it is trying to any
but the young and good looking. A
thin face, and one on which the trials
of life have set their mark, is helped
a good deal by the soft curls on the
forehead.

trance of the grounds, he stopped,
agape with surprise.

A girl-a remarkably pretty girl in
a gown that never had been designed
for wash-day wear-was hanging out
a basket of clothes, and making heavy
weather of the task. 1t wah Con-
stances first attempt to aid in this
part of the work of the household, and
she was in difficulties. The line was
too high-she was compelled to lift
herself to her toes to reach it-and
the wet garments struggled and flap
ped in a most exasperating manner as
she strove to pin them in place.
She was battling with a particularly
refractory sheet when there came a
gust of wind which twisted it from her
hands, and trying to keep it from fall
ing she turned, facing Won Reinhold.
For moment both merely stared
the girl clinging desperately to the
soggy bundle of cloth, then the Ger

When Winifred appeared in the door
few minutes later she paused with
a gasp of establishment. A tall young
man In the uniform of a German lieu
tenant, sword and holstered revolver
hanging from his belt, was hanging
out clothes, while Constance, carrying
the officers cap filled with clothes pins
was bossing the job.

And from the heights above the VAL
ley the venerable towers Of st. Aubins
looked down, just as 1t had watched
over other battles in years gone by,
and the ivy Of it's walls, swayed by the
wind and the conclusion of modern ar
tillery, seemed to shake like the beard
of patriarch wagging his head in re-
proof for the frailties of youth.
Fortunately for the Stanley house,
hold the chateau stood several miles in
the rear of a strong line of defense
held by the Germans, and because of
the difficult character of the inter-
vening country none of the higher
officers cared to make his headquar-
tiers there, so it's occupants saw few
visitors except for daily cavalry pa
trols-until the arrival of Lieut. Lud-
wig Kari Won Reinhold.
From her balcony Winifred had
watched the erection of huge shed on
plateau several miles from the
chateau, but had no hint of what it
meant until one day when it stood
complete a great gray shape drifted
into view It was a Zeppelin, one of
the dreaded German airships. and the
shed was its hangar.

his rifle.
Flying wing and wing through the
night, the aeroplanes raced while the
rifles sputtered, and luck was with
the British. One moment jets of fire
were stabbing the night the Ger
man emptied his magazine, then the
monoplane flew alone. Far below a
wounded winged thing of wood and
steel and canvas hurtled toward the
earth. and Kent swung away toward
the south.
His face was sober. his thoughts,
too. for he had seen what might have
been his fate.
With sigh of relief he had brought
it banked around the turn. when there
came to his ears q false note in the
motors song-a break that meant
trouble.
One of the cylinders was missing
no, it was the splutter which told of
lack of gasoline-an asthmatic gasp
from the engine like a choking man
fighting for air.
Not for a moment was he in doubt
as to what had happened. A bullet
has pierced the tank: the precious
gasoline had drained out through the
hole. another instant and the aero
plane was powerless to keep going.
With a final despairing cough, the
engine died, and there was only the
rush of air, the stunning of wires,
the rustic of taut canvas. as Kent
turned the nose of the craft downward
in q long volplane-and the prayer in
his heart was they might find smooth
ground on which to land.

Any pretty triie made to contain pins

Thanksgiving and Christmas. 4 tray-

ner of the old-timc needlebooll that
rolled up. The foundation of it is a
strip of ribbon or silk-morocco and
chamoiS can also be used, likewise can
vas-about six inches wide and twenty
inches long.
Place this fiat on the cutting board
and cover it with two thicknesses of
cotton batting; put a layer Of coarse
white flannel next to this. and then one
OF coarse-holed white net. Bind the
edges neatly together with Il satin rib
bon matching the outside of the con-
venience. and then turn up four or five
inches of the bottom of the strip and
tack the ends to form y pocket About
five inches from the top put plump
pincushion with corners reaching to
the strip edges; have this an inch and
a half deep. and stick it full of vari-
coiored pins-blue.. green, red, pink
white and the ordinary sorts. They
will look best if stuck in in some orna-
mental manner. In the space above the
cushion put black and white safety pins
in several sizes. and below the cushion
run Il number of the invisible hairpins
through the holes of the net but still
up.
A spool of white thread a penny
thimble, paper of needles and Il tiny
pair of scissors are useful things for
the pocket, or it could contain several
packages of cheap assorted hairpins A

The boots or socks are cut very large
of course, but pretty much after the
manner of a baby'S worsted bootees
There are only two pieces and there
fore only two seams, one straight down
the front of the sock, one at the back:
the halves are cut exactly alike, but
the sewing up of the front seam ends
a little above the line of a shoe vamp,
so that the sock may be drawn on cas-
lily. The top and side fronts are bound
with a matching satin ribbon and two
sets of tie strings are put on for fas-
tening.
