The newest craze is for the lowered
RIFFS. They are easy to make at.home.
Use velvet ribbon an inch and 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 u 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 a bunch of flowers at the side.
A muff to match can be made out OF
strips of the velvet ribbon put to-
gether with strips of flowers and
edged with a rufiie OF flower-covered

NEW bonnets for the little miss Of
IN four or FIVE are made OF silk In
some distinctly new ideas in bonnet
shapes. The shapes are OF bucEram-
cite. and the art OF the milliner de-
lights in covering them in many pref

tured.
An example is shown in the illustra-
tion picturing a bonnet on a girl OF
five. The blue silk with which the
frame is covered is beautifully fitted

ring over cord.

DANGERS OF DOING NOTHING
Every Boy Should Practice self-criti'
cism-Idleness Is One Of Hab-
It's Disclosed.

The harm of doing nothing is sell
dom realized. But 1t means going
backward. Or, II 1t means floating
along to somewhere, 1t also means
getting soaked and heavy and finally
sinking out of sight. Every boy should
adopt Secretary Redfleld's advice to
business men-to practice self-criti'
cism; to find out If anything Is the
matter, and then correct it, says Ohio
Stute Journal.
We suspect If every boy and girl
would undergo little determination
they would find idleness was one OF
their habits And they are apt also to
think It is an innocent habit; but 1t is
not; it is a dangerous habit. Remem-
Der the old saying that the devil al
ways finds something for idle hands to
do. and that something is evil always.
Now, work is not always struggle
with ones hands. It does not always
make one perspire and get short OF
breath. II a person thinks Of things
that are true, II he builds up noble
ideals. If he plans enterprises Of good
will, II he makes use Of his spirit in
forming fine resolutiong--this Is not
idling.
The test for idleness is very easy.
When one wastes his time he is Idle;
when he does not utilize thought and
deed to make his life better he Is
idling. Teaching a boy to value his
time is the best lesson that can be
given him.

Wireless telegraphy plays an impor-

thoroughness with which the Germans
have adapted the wireless to military
use Is but another example Of their
marvellous military efficiency. Portable
wireless telegraph outfits have been
developed that are far more compact

TUST at this season, when the long
u 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, good time In the
year for the economically-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 1t
be no furs, since handsome and dur
able furcloths make far betterlooking
neckpieces and muffs than poor pelts.
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 1t 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 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 1t makes up
into misunderstanding pieces.
In selecting furs let your choice fall
upon straight plain scarfs for neck
pieces. and large muffs, inconspicuous
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1915-02-04

as to shape. That is. prefer patterns
in neckpieces and NUNS that are not
odd and unusual. Altering furs Is ex'
penslve business, and queer or pc
culiar shapes RENT in in fashion only q
short time, while an ordinary type OF
muff and a scarf or bca remain good
style season after season.
There is nothing in apparel that
makes better return for good care
than furs, and it is not difficult to see
that they are well protected during
the summer time. The pieces should
be put away in bags containing few
moth.balls, or in cold storage. When
taken out they are to be hung IN
the open air and beaten until funny.
