Pansy Bag.

patience. 1t is simply a series of long.
fiat stitches laid very close together.
No padding is necessary.
The bag is made of white linen with
colored lining. The five petals of a
pansy are stamped on the lining at
the top. These are to be worked in
two shades of the color of the lin
ing, the curved part nearest the edge
in the lighter. The long lines in the
center of the petals are to be worked
in outline stitch, first black line and
then a yellow one. After the work is
finished the petals are cut out very
carefully so as not to snip them. The
prettiest bags are made of white and
lavender because they resemble the
pansy more than the other colors.
In the illustration of the unmade bag
the petals of the pansy are stamped
on the outside of the bag in order to
show them more clearly, but the ac-
tual bag has the petals stamped on the
Observation-Disclosures Star.

Bright Market for Poultry.

The holiday season offers the larg.
est market for all kinds of poultry,
but then, too. the supply is also very
large, as many poulterers shove their
poultry on to the market then leav-
ing their pens bare for further selling.
This has - advantage in closing up
that part Of the business and getting
the price in the pocket and into use,
but sometimes all poultry is not in
its best condition at that time.
There often happens to be late poul.
try, even in pretty well regulated
poultry yards. This late stock is not
as large and plump as the older stock
is, and hence it will not fetch the
price the heavier will, unless it may be
chickens that are ready for broilers.
These nearly always net a big price
per pound, although the numbers of
pounds is hardly plural, a pound and
a half being about right.

Through Ventilation.

The house accommodations for the
The house should, of course, be of the
open front type to insure fresh air
and dryness through good ventilation.
1t is very desirable to have the house
large enough and high enough for a
man to enter. This will guarantee
plenty of air space and make it much
more convenient in cleaning or catch
ing the birds. 1t is also highly de-
sirable that the house be portable so
that it may be moved about In this
way the young fowls can be isolated
from the older stock, which is desir-
able plan. The birds can then be
moved out on a pasture stubble field
Or orchard, and thus have the ad-
vantage of clean ground where they
will not be so liable to contract dis
ease which might be among the old
Eock or on the ground occupied by it.
Then, too, the young stock is inter
fered with considerably at feeding
time and do not have fair chance if
larger fowls are about.
If colony laying houses are used on
the farm, these same houses, if por-
table, can be used for the growing
chickens. Or, good growing colony
house could be built 6x8 feet in size
with an ordinary shed roof and open
front This house could be used later
as a laying house to accommodate
about twenty hens.

Charming Designs Meant for Lighting
the Boudoir or Drawing Room
Are in the Market.

Charming lamps for the bOudoir or
drawing room are made in the sem

baskets are made of gilded metal, in
various graceful shapes. Some of
them are tall, with high, arched han
dies Some have no handles, and are
squat and low.
They are all lined with silk-rose-
colored silk is the favorite color.
Across the top of the basket a piece
of silk is fastened, and to this piece
OF silk small silk flowers are attached.
Sometimes there is a tiny electric
bulb in the center of each flower.
sometimes a big bulb is hidden under
the flowers. and the light shines
through the sides of the basket as
well as through the flowers.
Some of the baskets are little
one-sided, as if they were made of
flexible reeds and had been crushed
against a wall And these are hung
on the wall, at the side of a bed or
above a writing desk, or at the side of
a dressing table.
