wal ooAAe'' owner calls hers. It
represents the mingling of several of
the seasons whims.
One novelty that is not likely to be-
come common because of the expense
is the hat made of cane, woven exactly
as the cane seats of chairs. These hats
are of various shapes, some resembling
the familiar fore-and-aft worn by
English travellers, but most of them
being of the sailor type, either round
or oval.
These cane hats as shown in the
best shops have little or no trimming.
Occasionally bow or band Of cretonne
will be used, but when worn plain
they are effective and have a distinct
air of smartness. They range in price
from $40 to SIS, depending on the loca-
ton of the store. OF course, the hats
are not intrinsically worth any such
price, the charge being demanded for
the novelty and exclusiveness.

Then she cut the bottom out of one

the day, it was some job" The seat
of the chair was neither round nor

The material used in the dozen roses
cost about so cents, though the bunch
of flowers would sell in an exclusive

The roses were made from two and

blended into the shadowy. indistinct

SECURE THE CLEANEST MILK
Barns Should Be Kept UnpoIIuted and
Yards Frae From Manure and
Litter Of All Kinds.

These rules are given for the clean
est milk obtainable with only little
more than ordinary care: Barns should
be kept clean and well ventilated, the
yards free from manure and litter and
drained SO that no water will stand
there. Before milking, the cows
should be brushed around the TANKS
and udder with stiff brush; this
should be followed with a damp cloth
which will remove many Of the dust
particles and so dampen the others
that they will stick to the COW during
the process of milking. The mixer
should keep his hands dry during the
milking. Milking with damp, hands
is a filthy process and is apt to cause
the teats of cow to chafe and be-
come source of annoyance. The milk
should be removed from the barn or
milking pen to a milk house just as
soon as possible after it is drawn. The
milk should be separated and the
cream cooled as soon as possible after
milking.

primarily a matter Of location, soil

stands in the way of his own progress.

sound theory and practice. The cause

Washington.-The note of Germany

citizens on the Arabic. It is a general
agreement that no attempt whatever
was made to ram the submarine
