miles east, to try their luck. The party
included Heine Erickson, Guido Ter
cinski and Bill Misegades. Heine was
the first in luck. He gave yell and a
pull and landed 21a inch bluegill or
mogul. Tercinski followed with a twin
and Misegades yanked in a turtle OF
the swapping variety, which devoured
the previous catch and left the three

THE COIFFURE

There is a very important point to consider in the arrangement of the hair the silhouette or general line of the whole hair dressing irrespective of de- tails. It matters not whether the hair wears a fringe, or the brushed back, brow-revealing effect so fashionable at the moment. One may wind long St. Cecelia plaits around the head or affect a fluffy knot at the crown-all this is a matter of individual taste and per sonal becomngness; but the silhouette of the whole arrangement must conform to the lines fashion prescribes at the mo- ment or one will look hopelessly un- modiSh.
 There are strong and individual char acters who can adopt freakish hairdress- ing and-as the slangy little schoolgirl says, "get away with it;'' but the aver age women does well to conform to fash ionable lines and it may be remembered always, that these lines can always be modified by personal arrangements of the tresses so that becomingness may be as- sured For example, the head of fashion able woman looks rather small and deli cate these days-the ideal is. one as- sumes, Hike a flower set exquisitely on its stem" Two women may have their hair arranged in the same way, yet one will look very smart and well groomed and the other commonplace and nnds- tinguished. Why? All matter of sii- houette! The tresses of both are parted at one side; the ears are covered with waved locks; at the back there is a com pact knot. But one woman's hair has been brushed till it is satin-smooth. sham pooed till it is soft and fluffy of tex ture, waved with patience and dexterity till it ripples evenly all over the head: and then drawn loosely back from the parting over the ears into knot placed exactly in the right place. not to make an excrescence on the line of the head from crown to nape. The other womans hair, because it is not kept religiously brushed has wayward ends and ten dency to separate into dank locks. It is hastily curled so that the waves are angular and uneven instead of ripping

PIQUE HATS

Not only have we pique collars and cuffs and pipings on serge froeks and wraps, but waistcoats also are made or pique in white or colors and entire hats are made of pique. A famous Paris milliner makes hat of black satln with an upward rolling brim and Boy Scout" crown of white plque. Another hat is made of bottle green duvetyn, and the under side of it's brim is cov- cred with white pique- says Vogue. Somewhat similar in shape IS hat or yellow duvetyn, the crown of which IS banded with white pique, and the brim of which is faced with white. Berets Of pique, unlned and washable, are worn by young girls, and for tiny children not only hats, but entire frocks are made of this stern white stuff.
 Pique hats blossom suddenly on all sides; one is trimmed with tailored" rosebud, one is banded with velvet, and one is trimmed with simple pique cravat.

Put in Rape This Month

An excellent crop for grazing during late fall and winter is rape. It should be planted on well prepared land from August 15 to September 15, and in from 60 to 75 days from planting it is ready to be grazed by hogs. The land should be plowed well, then narrowed and re- narrowed, and the seed planted either broadcast or in rows. If sown in drills, make the rows about two and one-half feet apart, and from three to five pounds of seed is required to plant an acre. About twice as much seed is required when sown broadcast
 A liberal application of stable manure should be applied before planting. and this should be thoroughly worked into the soil. If the soil Is acid, an appli- cation of lime is very beneficial. The Alabama station recommends 400 pounds per acre of acid phosphate or basic phos- phate, in addition to a liberal applica- tion of manure. Rape must have a fairly rich soil in order to do well.
