She had attired herself in a dull In.

The very fabric seemed to cling to her
supple body with the sensuous Joy of

with appraising eyes, experienced a
swift unaccountable desire to hold this
intoxicating creature close to her own

room and its contents.
Great lanterns hung suspended be-
side the shrine, but were now I'M

protested to work stood a huge lamp
with q lacelike screen Of gold. When
lighted q soft, mellow glow oozed
through the shade to create a circle of
golden brilliance over q radius that
extended but little beyond the edge
Of the table, yet reached to the benign
countenance Of Buddha close by.
Over all this fairylike splendor
reigned the serene, melting influence
Of the god to whom James Brood was
wont to confess himself! The spell
OF the golden image dominated every
thing.

BANKS SHOW MUCH INTEREST
Agriculture Has Developed New I'm portance in American Life
 Bankers Can Do Much Good.

One of the signs most propitious for the advancement of farming as a business is the interest being taken in agriculture by the bankers of the country. An expert in some phase of agriculture now addresses each meet ing of the American Bankers associa- ton. Bankers are literally support ing county farm bureaus. Banks everywhere are adopting methods which will improve agriculture in their communities.
 All these steps indicate that agri- culture has developed a new import ance in American life. that the finan- cial men of the country have recog- nized that farming must be made a real business if agriculture and rural life are to give their best to modern civilization. By suggestion. by coop eration, by assistance. the bankers can do incalculable good to agriculture. They can do more than any other group-except the farmers themselves ito establish vital partnership be- tween agriculture and the other indus trial interests of the nation.

WHICH KIND IS YOUR HOME?
Conditions Are Far Reaching in Their Effects Upon Children-keep
 Boys on the Farm.

The desolate home-no paint on the house, no honeysuckle over the door, and no time or money for the com forts within that go to make a house a home-such conditions are far reaching in their effects. especially upon children. No amount of school ing can dim the memory or change the effect on the boy of such home. for the picture that is burned into that boys brain lives forever Is it any wonder a boy raised under these conditions hates the sight of COW, and even the farm itself, and is go- ing to get away from it forever at the earliest opportunity?
 In contrast to this, there are other farm homes where the question of how to keep the boys on the farm never arises. Surrounding these homes, are neatly moved lawns. with flowers, trees and vines around the painted, well-kept house which con- tains piano, books and other com forts. Here $ found contehtment and happiness.

The width across the back is greatly aecentnated by a drapery of velvet lined with soft satin, which has the appearance of high bow.
 Very odd satin and silver poppies are set over the Grapery at the back, and one single blossom brightens the brim at the front.
 In passing, it may be noticed that millinery blossoms are very brilliant, made mostly of silk or satin of bright luster, and without pretense to be- ing faithful copies of their proto- types.
 In the picture wide-brimmed shape is shown with round crown It is covered with hatter's plush. A fringe of ostrich feathers is set about the edge on both the upper and under brim, and fan. of ostrich fibers also, is posed against the crown, complet- ing the adornment.
 Millinery generally is characterized by better style this season than in the past. Women insist upon simplicity in trimmings, and this results from an advance in good taste. Good work manship is another feature which tells the same story
The Monticellonian., 1915-11-25

The outdoor garments made for small lads and lasses in the winter time are first designed for warmth. This essential is taken care of and after that they achieve what meas ure of grace and style the material and the seasons modes will allow.
 Overcoats for the small boy are cut a little shorter than in previous sea sons, of very heavy close-woyen wool ems. Dark blue is favorite color for them, but there are many dark mix lures, indistinct checks and few crossbars. They are double breasted, with ample collars that may be rolled up about the neck and ears. very good model is that shown in the pic ture. which provides large but incon- spicuous patch pockets for the con venience of the most appreciative of all possessors of pockets
 A cozy coat for a little girl, with 'cap to match, is pictured with collar and cuffs of plush. It is made of heavy wool-knitted material and is soft and warm. The stitched belt, snapped 10 lnctuue pockets, feHectS popular treatment of the belt in coats for older girls. With cap to match, which may be pulled down over the ears, trim, smart outfit makes the youngster look as comfortable as she feels.
 For the little miss who has arrived at the dignity of going out to parties, pretty coats are made and childish furs are designed to re-enforce them. White Iceland fox and other inexpen- sive white furs are prettiest for the little girl. The next best choice for her are the little gray squirrel sets. There are several other furs suited to children, and all of them are in- tended for the little miss to wear up
The Monticellonian., 1915-11-25

Although one may choose almost any shape in hats, the progress of the season has given precedence to cer. tain types. Hats inspired by the Puri- tan model are many and smart. Small high-crowned shapes with narrow curving brims followed naturally in the wake of the Puritan. and have been developed into brilliant millin- cry, combining rich brocades or vel vets, in covering the shape, with fur in narrow bands outlining the brim edge and crown. The small turban has blossomed out in wintry materials tyelvet and fur and other rich stuffsl in styles more varied than ever. and is the acme of dash and grace.
 Trimming remains simple. either for these chic small hats or in the wider -brimmed shapes. And it seems that every one strives for novelty in it. Either the flower or feather must be something new and strange-and beautiful-er it must be oddly placed. An example of this is shown in two views of dress hat which are given in the photographs reproduced here.
 This model is made of velvet shirred in one circular piece. 10 cover the upper brim and side crown. The top crown is small scant puff of the velvet, and the underbrim has plain velvet facing. The shape lifts to a point at the front and flares upward at the back. where the brim widens.

COTTON ACREAGE NEXT YEAR
Trend of European Conflict and Avoid oVerproduction.

The Birmingham Age-Herald be lieves that the farmers of the South will be encouraged to try for a rec. ord crop next year. because of the satisfactory prices being obtained for the reduced crop of the present year That, of course. is generally the case Short production and high prices one year are usually followed by overpro duction and low prices the next.
 But we believe the farmers are go ing to gauge their cotton acreage next year by the prospects they face when the time comes for them to plant their crops. If the war is still in progress next spring, it will not be so difficult 10 form some opinion with respect to the cotton needs of the world The experts will be able to figure out about what the world will need and what part Of the total crop may be expect ed from other cottonproducing coun- tries. Whether there will be need for 15,000000 bales next year. as the Age Herald thinks probable, is not now ap parent, although there is reasonable
 
 fled in producing a materially larger crop than has been produced this year.
 In any event. we must cling to the hope that the southern farmers will not permit their eagerness to in crease their cotton production to dis courage them from persevering in growing other crops. The largely in creased corn production of the South this year has been an undisguised blessing. Probably the South is not yet producing all the corn it really needs, as it is certainly far short of producing it's own requirements of wheat and oats.
 In Texas we shall send out of the state far less money for meat than usual. and we have probably three fourths of our corn requirements. Many of our farmers lave learned that their net profits have been great CT with reduced cotton yield be cause they have raised a sufftciency of grain and forage. as well as food. for their own tables. With their expert ence of this year, they will scarcely be apt to increase their cotton acre age at the expense of these other crops which have contributed so ma terially to their prosperity
 The cotton farmers will be wise to observe closely the trend of the Eu- ropean conflict and avoid an overpro- duction that might send down the price of the staple and embarrass them. as they were embarrassed a year ago. Houston Post
