Now 4 CIav Coffin,

Human clay can now be buried in
a clay casket if the latest innovation
in undertaking supplies becomes pop
ular. The clay coffin is said to be
dust, vermin, and waterproof and
therefore more durable and satisfac.
tory than any wooden casket. It Is
supplied with metal handles and cloth
Innings and a pane Of glass is set
in the lid, but both the lid and the
casket are entirely Of clay nodded
each in one piece. The sharp cor,
ners are overcome in the clay coffin
and It can be finished to simulate
any desired material in either black,
white or gray. If the clay coffin
reaches commercial demand it can be
produced at moderate cost.

He Didn't Need Anv.

Handicapped but undaunted, the act
ors in the touring "drammer" were do
ing their best, but their efforts were
spoiled by the rude comments of a
small boy at the back of the hall.
At last, after some of his best scenes"
had been spoiled, the hero hissed
melodramatically: Ladies and gen
tlemen, five years ago | lost a monkey.
Tonight he has turned up again
at the back of the hall" The ap-
plause and laughter which greeted
this brilliant sally had hardly died
away, when the voice Of the insulter
was heard to ask blandly; What
did you do with the organ?"

Little Mrs, Emory was indignant for
a moment; then she saw the humor
of the situation And she happened
to be one man short for her party.
She was sure none Of those dining
with her, largely strangers as they
would be, would recognize the butler.

pulsively. "And I'll introduce you as
a friend Of ours who is staying with
us. You have the--the proper clothes?"
Indeed, yes. A million thanks,

"I have arranged for that already"

He opened the kitchen door and
Mrs. Emory saw a real-to-life butler,

mitted afterward, standing imposing

tation.
"My friend, Peter, will serve you,
madame" said John. Il have already
instructed him in his duties. He was
for many years with the Davises Of
Yorkville."
Mrs. Emory could say no more,
though she half regretted her impul-
siveness. 1t seemed uncanny to her,
and more so the following evening,
when, standing to receive the countess,
she was staggered at the appearance

Taffeta in numberless varieties, plain

embroidered flower bouquets faille
with satin spots or broad stripes and
satin brocades and wonderful imita-

These textures are always connected
with tilmy materials: tulle, chiffon and
shadow lace. There is also host of
new trimmings, of which silver is
given the leading role. There is lace,
embroidery, ribbon and dainty flow

from this one notes metallic gold trim

which give the effect of dewdrops.

Wants to Develop Her Soul.

Defying paternal authority and scor.
ing present-day methods of education,
Miss Violette Wilson, daughter of J.
Stitt Wilson, the former mayor Of
Berkeley, has withdrawn from the
University of California. She an.
nounced that it was her intention to
develop her own soul and that she in
tended to get an education from real
life and not one the whole significance
of which lay in college diploma. Hiss
Wilson registered in letters and sci
ences at the university last August,
but after a few months decided that
her studies were hampering rather
than assisting her mental growth. So
despite the wishes of her parents, she
left the classroom.-Sa Francisco

One is apt 10 think. when certain

Bucculent dish out of a few left-overs
as a cook la France, and the absence
Of new fabrics could never seriously
affect the artistic ingenuity Of a
French designer.

1t may not appeal to the majority of
women as a novelty, and they may
count the cost of it, but it is quite
probable that they will accept it. In
the old days it was extensively used,
especially when White Sulphur and
Saratoga were at the height of their
glory. There were always gowns of
white organdis several of them, worn
by the young girls who danced all day
and all night-for the critics who de-
plore the modern tendency toward
dancing would do well to look back to
the social history of a quarter of a
century ago; then, because the nights
were not long enough, there were ger
names every morning at eleven
O'Clock.
Among all these new gowns one sees
here and there the elaborate kerchief
of other days. 1t is sometimes made
of batiste, and again of fine cotton net
and lace.
The sketch given today is model
from Lelong of Paris, who has had
quite a success with his clothes in the
last two seasons, possibly because new
blood was infused into a conservative
house by Premets premiere, Henri
cite; at least she has brought to that
house a number of American buyers
who are circulating Lelongs models
throughout the country. This frock
is pale-colored organdie, with
slightly full skirt trimmed with lace
and a bodice that looks as though 1t
might have been worn in the former
gay days of White Sulphur. The i'm
mense kercbief is made of silk net and |
lace, the slightly V opening in front |
hh:d by brooch. The sleeves are fiat
ara small at the shoulders, and flare
ont into large elbow puff that is
confined into a tight wristlet.

look, or angry red spots not coming
from sunburn but from some internal
complaint phosphate of soda one tea
spoonful to glass Of very hot water
taken before breakfast win cure the

these suits are made with short, fared

recent models the coat reaches to The

scarcity of silks is becoming more and
more pronounced In many cases. re-
tailers are having success with strictly
tailored suits suitable for mature
women. Those that are fitting above
the waist with flare below that point
are particularly good.

Paris Green Formula.

water ............... .EUO GdlS.
Paris green is heavier than water
and the mixture must be kept in con-
slant motion during spraying opera
tions to prevent settling.
1t is often adulterated. Gypsum and
slaked lime are two adulterants COM
monty used.
Pure paris green dissolves without
sediment in ammonia, the adulterant
will not. This affords simple test
for purity.
Paris green If used on growing
plants greatly in excess of the above
formula may injure the foliage. The
addition of the lime overcomes the
caustic properties and renders it safe
under all conditions.
Dry paris green may be used pure
If applied in small quantities. Differ
ent dry powder guns" have been in
vented for this purpose.
Poison for Biting Insects.
Arsenate Of lead .........2 Lbs.
Water .................5O so Gals.
Arsenate Of lead is a combination Gf
white arsenic, sugar Of lead and sal
soda. 1t may be prepared by combin-
ing these materials in proportion, but
the process involves considerable la
Dor and danger, as the ingredients
must be combined by boiling.
Arsenate of lead is less liable to in
jure foliage than paris green. 1t re-
mains longer in suspension. 1t ad-
heres better to foliage. 1t may be
used for any purpose for which paris
green is employed in liquid sprays.
White HelIebore.
Powdered white hellebore is COM
monty employed to destroy currant and
cabbage worms and on fruits and vege-
tables where more poisonous sub
stances cannot be used with safety.
White hellebore ..........1 Or.
Water ..............2 or 3 Gals.
1t may also be used dry, either alone
or mixed with flour, land plaster, SCOT,
ETC.
White heliebore is scarcely poison
GUS to the higher animals and may be
used freely on fruits and vegetables at
any stage Of maturity.
Used only to destroy sucking in
sects 1t may be applied to the in
sects and cannot be used as a pre-
ventive.
This is the standard remedy for
sucking insects.
Dissolve one pound hard soap in two
gallons of boiling water. While hot !
add two quarts of kerosene.
Churn or shake the mixture while
hot for five to ten minutes or until
1t assumes a creamy consistency. Add |
