Summer or winter, the play and
school frocks of the very small girl
are made of materials that car be
washed. Durable linen in the natural
or in gay colors, wash flannel pique,
bingham, chambray, kindergarten
cloth, all present themselves to the
hand of the seamstress, in plain plaid
and striped designs Very little trim
ming is used and little girls frocks
must depend for their style on color,
cut and combinations of plaid or
striped with plain material.
But ii good taste prohibits much
trimming on the clothes of the little
miss it encourages a bit OF pretty
needlework and oddities in cut. So
long as the designer does not depart
from simplicity or unbroken lines she
may indulge her fancy for unusual
shaped Jokes, sleeves and yoke in one,
and quaint effects in finishing touches.
The two little frocks pictured here
are of the everyday sort that mothers
are making up in heavy linens and
other wash fabrics. In them the little
girl may romp aiong with her broth
ers; they are designed for much wear.

stalls, and also the floor of the stalls
is made on slant so that they can
be easily washed out In the horse
part of the stable the floors are made
level and no gutter is needed in back
of the stalls. Convenient harness clos
cts are placed in the front part of the
barn alongside the horse stalls.
Lighting is one of the most impor-
tant things in barn. Chickens Like
to lay eggs where it is dark, but dairy
cows do not accomplish much unless
they are given plenty of light. The
lighting in this barn is well taken
care of. There are seven windows
spaced along each side of the barn
and in each end there are two more,
making eighteen windows in all. In adj
dition to contributing to the comfort
OF the cows a well-lighted barn is
much pleasanter to work in.
The entrance to the barn for the
animals is through a wide double
sliding door at the front end of the
barn. There is also another double
door at the back through which the
litter carrier goes out to the dump.

A bit of needlework appears on the

A dress Of striped pique or other
striped material is pictured at the

the skirt portion, below the belt The
collar and cuffs in white are edged
with a plain buttonhole-stitched seal

the plat which covers the front open

A double row of round buttons is set
down the front, and two larger buttons

is stitched to the dress only along the
upper edge at the sides and back.
This makes it convenient to launder

The German engineering corps has
been successful in many instances in
their efforts to build bridges when
faced by a strong fire of small guns.
In war it was found that bridge build
ing was difficult except under cover OF
darkness, because the builders we're
always in the open and subject to the
fire Of the enemy on the rivers farther
bank. The German officers by the use
of new waterproof suit with a life
preserver about it's middle were able
to send men into the water. The men
pushed floating bulwark of boards
and steel before them. Under cover
of this protection they padded about
and built the bridge.

ment stable used to mean bank barn
with the accompanying dampness and
dinginess that is so unhealthful for
any kind of stock. The barn shown
here is dry, well ventilated and warm
and suited to raising the best kind of
stock. If a bank barn is built against
a side hill the hill should be cut away
and the entrance &c the threshing
floor maintained by bridge
Threshing floors are not generally
provided in barns made in the mod
ern way. 1t is a waste of space to
set aside valuable storage room in
barn when it is only to be used for a
few days each year. It is better to
do the threshing outside and use all
the space in the barn the year round.
The intake flues for the ventilating
system come into the barn at the top
of the concrete wall and are dis
charged near the ceiling over the
heads of the stock. The outtake
fiues start in back of the stalls and
are carried up to the ventilators on
the roof. A pure and plentiful supply
of air is assured by this system.
The feed for the cows and horses
kept in this barn is taken care of by
feed carrier running on tracks along
each side wall in front of the man
gers The track also runs along the
back of the barn so as to connect up
the feed alleys with the silo. The lit
ter carrier track runs straight through
the center alley through the back door
to the dump or the manure spreader.
A large space is provided for the
storage of hay in the haymow. This
haymow is unobstructed, as no col
umns are necessary to support the
roof, which is of the gambrel type.
The truss framing provides a stiff
and strong support fer the roof against
the snow, wind, etc.
Room is furnished to comfortably
house eight horses and sixteen cows.

so that the cows do not all try to
crowd in one door at the same time.
The outtake fiues for ventilation are
not in the way, but are along the wall
where the space is not needed. The
cows heads are away from the bright
light of the sun, as they would be in
the pasture. The cutters are well dis
infected by the action of the sun s

Most of the work is done behind the

Cat Sports a Glass Eve.

Several months ago Bill, an orange
Persian cat belonging to Royal T. Gil
lett, lost his right eye during the
course of a nocturnal prowl. The
seemingly irreparable loss worried
both cat and master, the cat losing its
spirit and thus depreciating in value.
Gillett began to figure that he would
be forced to kill the animal, when a
friend suggested that he replace the
lost optic with one of glass.
Gillett acted on the suggestion and
