FOR THE SEPARATE WAIST
Many Materials, in All Designs and
Colors, Are Sanctioned by
Dame Fashion.

Separate waists are made of cotton,
silk, net, chiffon, crepe, lace and en-
broidery. Among the washables are
handkerchief linens in white, light and
dark blue, sand, gray, pink, lavender.
ETC., plain and striped. Heavy linens
in white, light or navy blue, trimmed
with a tailored finish, are varied by
the use of cotton braid and buttons.
There are fancy shirtings, such az
men wear; plain. striped and en-
broidered voiles, white and fancy
madras corded cottons in plain and
fancy effects. ripple and crepe effects
in cotton. finely corded pique and man,
other cotton novelties. Hairline
stripes of a color are smart In these
cottons are also sheer crepes. lawns.
batiste, etc.
Wolfe, lawn. batiste, crepe and nain-
sock with tiny alloyer designs make
charming waists Embroidered edg-
ings of voile and crepe are easily APP
piled to fabrics OF the same nature.
Such fabrics as crepe de chine and
Ceorgette crepe are made up alone or
combined with lace or net Not only
white, but also sand, putty. battleship
gray, Copenhagen and chestnut are
popular.

effects and regular silk shirtings are
/ all used in tailored and dressy waists
Black and white, Russian violet, Rus
sian green, seal, French and delft
blues are also important waist colors.

stiffness to be found in combining lace
with net and silk, and lace or net with
chiffon. These are in white, flesh,
sand, putty, Belgian and Copenhagen
| blues, seal and black. chiefly. Sand
color net trimmed with little fine jet
is very smart. Printed chiffons are
attractive!
White lace is used over flesh-colored
Innings, black over black, flesh and
white. Three-fourths of the waists
have high collars and long sleeves, the
high collars usually meaning those
high at the back and cut down much
or little in front.

The grass widow went to Purityville
and asked the school superintendent
for job He pried into her past like
a detective, and finally drew from her
that she was a Divorce. The superin-
tendent threw up his hands.
MY dear young woman" he said, Il
am sorry that cannot employ you.
We are opposed here to the employ
ment of widows of both classes. Our
school board has a sort of unwritten
law against it"
The grass widow sighed and looked
out of the window
But I am widow through no fault
of mine" the young woman insisted.
1T was the husband who erred. And,
besides, single women also have been
known to kidnap married men from
their families"
Yes, yes. l know" the superinten-
dent chirped; "but the single ones are
not so bright and attractive"
She felt the need of employment,
and had heard that Purityville was in
the market for school teachers. Now.

to be caught in the act of killing
sheep, and it is always difficult to
identify positively the offenders For
this reason the law existing in sew
eral states which permits flock mas
tiers to recover damages from the own
ers of guilty dogs is of comparatively
little service.
A law based on the principles al
ready outlined would, it is believed,
greatly reduce the numbers of stray
and vicious dogs, while not injuring
to any appreciate extent the interests
of the true dog lover. If losses from
dogs could be effectually prevented
there seems to be no reason why the
number of sheep kept on American
farms could not be vastly increased.
1t has been estimated that in the SO
farm states this increase could be $50
per cent without displacing other live
stock, and some authorities have even
placed it as high as 500 per cent An
increase of $50 per cent would mean
in money $155,267, 000
In Great Britain the value of sheep
on high-priced farm lands is thor
oughly realized, and in Great Britain
and Ireland there is one sheep or
lamb TO every 2.5 acres of the total
land area. In the farm states of the
United States there is only one sheep
or lamb to each 31.S acres of land in
farms. The British farmer raises his
sheep chiefly on forage-crop pastures
and this undoubtedly is the best way
when intensive farming is possible.
A succession of forage crops is the
best method of preventing infection
from such parasites as stomach worms
and also enables lambs born in the
late winter or early spring to be mar
keted about the first of July when
prices are usually at their highest. In
this country, however, the vast amount
of land now practically wasted in
rough pastures, weedy lots and grown
up fence rows offers another incentive
for the keeping of sheep. These will
not only clean up the land but will
| fertilize it as we'll
In the absence of laws which will
afford an adequate protection to the
flock master from dogs. experiments

can be constructed in the following

The census OF 1910 showed that IN
the ten years previous the number of
sheep kept on farms in the United
States had decreased 100000 head,
or IA per cent of the total in 1900. On
the other hand, during this time the
market value of sheep rose to such
an extent that the smaller number in
1910 was worth 25 per cent more than
the total value of the sheep in 1900
In other words, despite the rise in the
value of the farm flock, fewer farmers
cared to maintain ONE.
