 In buying clothes for family no item seems so out of proportion to the value received as the price demanded for a really good looking coat for girl from 10 to 14 years old. The ordinary every day garments are reasonable enough, but for coat for afternoon wear, or trimmed with fur, the prices asked are quite ex- tortionate. Many mothers have on hand suit whose material is in good con- dition, although the style of the garment may be no longer the last stroke of fash ion. In many households there are bits of fur or even an old set of fur. long since relegated to perpetual moth balls.
 Such suit and such fur may be turned into a charming coat for little girl who longs for something besides the ordinary coat so little distinguished from her brothers.
 TOP COAT FOR YOUNG GIRL
 To make the little garment illustrated, the coat of the old suit should be cut down to fit loosely the child's body. panel of the goods set on across the front will give high throat closing. A small stitched strap at the left side des- ignates an opening and may be cut from a small strip of goods. Two large bone buttons fasten two worked button holes The skirt of the coat Is made partly from the old suit coat and partly from the old skirt. A panel is set on back and front, and ill the side gores, made also from the old skirt, two plaits are laid on each side of the panel and tailor stitched. A novel belt reaches across the back panel and disappears through two buttonholes on each side These button holes should be bound instead of worked Two buttons attach the shaped pieces tc the plaits on the hip
 The fur collar and cuffs may be made detachable, So that the coat can be worf much later In the spring. The coat is lined throughout with flannel and tho inside lining may be cut from an ole dress of silk Or satin. If you do moi care to invest in new lining satin, SHE muslin makes good substitute

TRAINING THE SHOW BIRD

Build row of training coops around the walls of a house to accustom eX- hibition birds to the confinement and excitement of the show. The coop should be feet square and 50 inches high for each bird, with the floor made of inch mesh wire netting. The use of the netting floor insures q sanitary coop and keeps the fowls feet clean.
 The youngsters, especially, will be wild when first confined, so do not frighten them more than necessary. Have vessels in the coop for feed and water Go to the coops several times a day and endeavor to tempt the chick ems with dainties to eat. When the birds are reconciled to the confinement take a stick and gently pass it along the back; then try the hand, and. in a few days you can place each bird in any desired position,

 Successful exhibitors provide row Of little houses with enclosed runs in a grove of shade trees for their exhibi- tion males. each male being kept in a separate enclosure. The exhibition fe- males are not separated like the males, but live in groups of from 10 to 25. Their house and run is also under shade. Where natural shade cannot be obtained artificial shade is provided by covering the tops of the wired runs with building paper, old boards or sacks or straw.
 During the time that the fowls are molting it is important to keep them in dustless house. and to prevent dust baths. The best floor is rather moist earth, so that the fowls will not raise dust when scratching in the litter Change the litter frequetly.

SPECIAL COOPS NEEDED

Ordinary shipping GOODS have slated tops and sides, and they are low; the coops for shipping show birds must be covered with muslin or have solid sides, and they must be high enough for the birds to stand upright, and wide enough for the birds to turn around without injuring their tails.
 Do not be discouraged if you are not successful at the first or second show Keep everlastingly showing. Do not give up. Seek advice at every show from judges and exhibitors, and in time you are almost certain to gain your share of the highest awards and the profitable trade in stock and eggs that naturally goes to those who are the recognized leaders in every standard breed of poultry
 Fancy dressed poultry is not a fad, but a practical reality. Careless dress ing is an actual waste. Skinny. gawky, crook ed breasted turkeys and flat breasted geese are undesirable and bring small returns. Turkeys are dry picked geese scalded.

SURPRISES

The surprise Of the past week in this city
was the chautauqua and it was indeed
thorough one. There was some fun in it too
after the surprise was made complete.
Last fall when Mr., Palmer, the chautalqns
representative came to Santa Fe he at once
sought out the editor Of the Record, as II
the days gone by we had been associated il
lyccrnI work and Palmer had booked chi
dmgs On many a coarse season lftcr season or
the platform.
Together we worked up the course here and
induced the forty heroes" to sign the contract
Time went on and the course looked so far
away that no one gave il much heed. Then the
hour Of activity arrived and the advance peo-
pie came 10 see what We had done in he An
Icient City.
For a while it looked awfully dark and one
after another of the signers came to the Record
editor and said there was tn be a lynching bee
in the near future, and the editor was 10 be the
star performer as a rope-end dangler. Others
SAID an arrangement had been made to have a
tar and feather performance with the editor
wearing the tar. Others said he had basely mis-
represented things and ought to be in the pen
i%cntiary. and that they would gladly help put
him there. Others said the whipping post ought
To be recstahished.
S. !. went with the editor as the goat. in the
Old customary way.
The merchants, some Of them, refused to
cFlo look at a ticket, saying there was nothing
in i Tor them. Others purchased from a
81 sympathy ior the bold forty or Tor
HE good Of the city.
In the end the greater part of The amount
subscribed and the chautauqua came. On
the final night when The question Of the COM
ing year was W, there were ia persons signed
for the next season and the tar and leather
the lynching bees and the pcnitentiary
were forgotten amid the acclaim OF all that
the chautauqua had been one OF the best things
ever coming to Santa Te.
One point made by some of the merchants
The people coming would spend nothing
proved false ike many another guess concern
ing which nothing is known or understood.
We will not know just what was spent, h"t
