home of the wild horse. There are
great droves there, thousands and tens
of thousands. | revisited it thirty
years after, SO l know. You think
there are lots of wild horses down
here in the coast valleys, but they
are as nothing compared with those

towns untouched by fire. But they
were filled by the pestilential dead,
and I passed by without exploring
them It was near Lathrop that, out
of my loneliness, picked up pair of
collie dogs that were SO newly free
that they were urgently willing to
return to their allegiance to man.

many years and the strains of them

and came down into Livermore val

was amazing All the land had been
splendidly titled, and now | could
scarcely recognize it, such was the
sea of rank vegetation that had over
run the agricultural handiwork Of

FASHION seems more steadfast in X continuing to favor beaded and spangled tunics and dress trimmings than We had reason to expect. But such wonderful things are wrought by means of beads, sparkling rhinestones and mock jewels, that there is nothing just to take their places. Besides, the variety possible in using these vehicles is unendng
 Nearly all the tunics, coatees and overdresses that glimmer and sparkle with sequins or beads are made Of net to which the beads or spangles are sewed But occasionally a splendid tunic or dress ornament is made entire ly of strands of beads or brilliants without a fabric foundation II Is worn over gown of satin and chiffon usual ly for these seem to form just the right background
 A really gorgeous overgarment of beads, suited to a matronly wearer, is shown in the picture given here
 A study of it will reveal a wonder fully clever use of strands of beads in festoons and fringes and a wonderfully graceful shaping of them into the bod fee and tunic Splendid as this beau tiful thing is, it is not for the youth ful or the very slender woman A cer

 There is any number of less gor. geous tunics for women under forty, and for young women. They are not less beautiful but more suited to the age of wearers who are not yet old enough for the last word in elaboration of apparel
 Among the prettiest of fabrics for young girls are dew drop" nets and ehiffons Light colors with the small est globules of a composition that looks like glass, scattered all over the surface, make their name the most ap- pfopriate choice They are inexpen- siye and are to be had in both plain and lowered chiffon and in nets.
 II is not likely that fashion will cease to welcome bead-sprinkled fab. rics and ornaments scintillating with the brilliance of beads and jewels However capricious the goddess of fashion may be she knows when to ex- ercise her wisdom She will not frown upon some things as fine. old laces | and such stuff as appears in the splen did costume pictured here

The newest craze is for the lowered ruffs, They are easy to make athome Use velvet ribbon an inch and a half wide and once around your neck in length allowing for hem at each end. Sew to the ribbon flat flowers about half an inch apart until the velvet is covered.
 Double a strip of tulle, gather and sew to the top of ribbon and the same at the bottom. The tulle should be very full Sew flowers on the tulle to match those on the band and fasten with bunch of flowers at the side.

LUST at this season, when the long J end of winter is behind us, furriers and dealers in furs are usually willing to make some concessions in prices. As really good furs are fairly expensive, this is, therefore, a good time in the year for the onomically-inclined to make their purchases,
 Very cheap furs would better not be considered, for they are too short lived to be worth while. If the choice lies between cheap furs or no furs, let it be no furs, since handsome and dur able furcloths make far betterl looking neckpieces and muffs than poor belts, But there are good furs to be had at this season, with years of wear in them, at about as low prices as one can hope for.
 For some years the best furs have advanced in price. and it is not likely that they will cease to advance. Every one wants them, and the supply does not keep up with the demand So the present time seems the best for buy ing a fur garment or neekpiece and huff
 The harder furs have the best wear ing qualities Mink, marten, sable, lynx, and skunk, if properly dressed, may be relied upon for longest wear. Fox is softer, but is a beautiful and fairly durable fur which is dyed Into deep rich brown and into black. The hair is long and silky and it makes up into luxurious-looking pieces
 In selecting furs let your choice fall upon straight plain scarfs for neck pieces, aud large muffs, ineonspicuous

GERMANY TAKES KINDLY
 THE AMERICAN NOTE.

Berlin, March 2-(by wireless to What most impressed US in the American note was the evident spirit of absolute fairness in which the American government approached the problem and it's desire to propose 6 solution which could be accepted by both sides, said high official of the German government today.
 We endeavored ill the reply to fol low the same rule. The notifications we suggested are inspired by de sire to round out and complete tho American proposals.
 We are sure. for instance, that tla American government would have in
 serted the clause covering armed merchantmen, if this subject had oc' cured to them. The reservation re. garling the offensive use of anchored
 mines is justified by The Hague con ventions which expressly authorize
 such procedure; and even therein will he noticed that our note says only
 that we cannot renounce completely the use of such mines
 The government is convinced that | the American proposals furnish an acceptable basis for a practical solu- ton of the present difficulties and Iproblems of the maritime situation "
