CHANGES SEEN IN SLEEVES
They Have Been Becoming Narrower
and Have Been Gradually She'd
ding All FuiIness at Top.

Sleeves have undergone certain
amount of change. They are narrow
er than they were, and are gradually
shedding all fullness atop and becom-
ing almost tight-fitting over the fore
arm. An innovation to be noted now
and again is tendency to swirl about
the arm, principally to be met with
In quite thin materials.
Sleeves are often a contrast both in
fabric and color to the bodice or the
bolero of which they are the compile
ment, nor are they set into its arm
holes, but come from underneath them.
In some cases such bodices or boleros
will be given short pair of it's own
to boot, sometimes hardly more than a
cap for the shoulder, sometimes reach
Ing midway to the elbow, leaving the
rest of the arm to be encased in sort
of long lace mitten fitting closely to
the forearm. and widening out at the
top.

MORE IMPROVED LIVE STOCK
High Prices Make 1t Profitable for
Farmer to Produce His Own Ami
mails for Feeding.

The recent rapid rise in the price
paid for all kinds of live stock is max
ing it more and more profitable for
the average farmer to produce his own
young stock for feeding rather than
to buy the high-priced product of the
plains for this purpose. Conditions in
America today are more nearly like
those prevailing in European countries
In regard to live stock than they have
aver been for an extended period in
the history OF our country.
IF the present conditions remain as
they are for few more years there
will be noticed rapid Improvement
Of the farm herds and focks. Former
~ the range was large enough to crowd
out the competition of the cornbelt
meat producer. Then the range began
to produce only feeders and today the
cornbelt farmer is rapidly taking over
this phase of the cattle business as the
range. is becoming smaller and smaller
and is more and more unable to supply
the demand for beef.

PROPER RATIoNs FOR LAMBS
Mixture of Corn, Oats, Linseed Oil
Meal and Bran Is Recommended
for Young Animals.

(Ohio College of Agriculture Bul1etin.)
A good grain ration for lambs just
beginning to eat is ground corn, one
part; crushed oats, one part; linseed
Oil meal, one part; and wheat bran.
two parts. Wheat bran is very es-
sential in this ration, and the shep-
herd should always see that it is pres
ent. A grain ration consisting of two
pounds of wheat bran, one pound Of
oats (crushed oats being preferreO,
one pound of finely ground corn meal,
and one-half pound OF oil meal has
proved to be an excellent grain ration
for young lambs. 1t has also been
found that grain mixture of oil meal
and corn meal has given better re-
suits than a mixture of cott0nseed
meal and corn meal.

blouses are very popular, as they al
ways are, being uniformly becoming
and suited for wear with costume of
any type or color, but the high and
pastel shades in both cotton and linen
fabrics are fashionable.
A modish blouse is shown in the
sketch presented herewith, which cotton
voile or sheer linen would serve at
tractively to develop. Another type
of frill that is meeting with approval
is a little double ruffie running from
collar to belt, and Stimulating the ruff
fled shirtfronts worn by our grandpa
theirs. This ruff1e is of uniform width,
and it edges the plat which centers
the front Of the blouse. 1t may be fin
ished with fine lace embroidery or
hemstitching. Irish crochet and filet
lace are both used on washable
blouses.
To make the blouse shown in the
sketch would require two and one-half
yards of material 36 inches wide.

FRILLS ON BLOUSES
RIBBONS FOR MANY PURPOSES
Narrower Widths Used for Hat Bands
and Bodice Lacings, the Larger
for Sashes and GirdIes.

A great many attractive ribbons
have been advanced during the last
few months for sartorial purposes.
This has to do, not only with hats, but
with dresses, blouses, negligee and
even with lingerie.
In accordance with the custom estal-
lished during the last several seasons.
1t is the narrow ribbons which are re-
ceiving the most attention. Frequently
such ribbons are not more than an
eighth of an inch in width, and when
they assume this shoestring effect they
are employed for hat bands, bodice
lacings, embroidery effects.
There is evident G desire to bring
about return to favor of wide rib
bons. This is seer in the employment
of sashes and girdles on many dresses,
both of the wash variety and of the
usual sort of satin or taffeta. These
ribbons sometimes are weighted with
gold threads in floral or other design,
and retail for as much as S. or more a
yard.
Dress designers have found it ad.
vantageous to employ wide ribbons for
panels, girdles, and, indeed, the compo.
sition of the bodice in place OF buying
material by the yard and losing the eff
fective design thereof by cutting it
into the desired widths.

FLORAL GARLAND FOR MIRROR
Artificial Flowers Looped Across Face
of Glass Gives Very Cheerful
IN. and Attractive Effect.


The decorative motif Of floral gar
lands is an old one and appears on
many modern gilt-framed mirrors. On
mirrors of the Empire period garlands
of gilt flowers were often carried
across the face Of the glass. A clever
idea as worked out by smart in
terror decorator is to use garlands OF
artificial flowers on mirrors. She loops
these symmetrically across the face. OF
the mirror, holding them in place in
visibly at the sides of the frame, and
sometimes looping the center OF the
garland up to the top of the frame.
The flowers in each garland are Of
several colors and the effect is very
cheerful and attractive. There is a
good idea in these garlands for floral
decorations for an informal summer
wedding. Garlands Of real flowers
might be substituted for those Of ar
tificial flowers with really charming
effect.

GOOD POINTS ABOUT HORSES
Strong Constitution, Endurance and
Action Are Associated With Well.
SIoped Shoulders.
(By R. H. REEsE.)

In examining a horse there are sew
eral points about the shoulders to look
into. Short shoulders do not gener-
ally indicate sufficient room for large
heart and for lungs capable OF ham
ding maximum quantity of air.
Straight shoulders favor a low,
short, stubby action of the front feet.
A low carriage of the head, with
heavy irresponsible mouth are often
associated with long back and cor
respondingly short underline, whereas
the opposite proportions, namely, a
short back and a long underline, are
desirable. The conclusions or jars on

Sweater Trimming.

No doubt as a consequence OF the
high and ever higher price Of angora
many<of the newest sweaters now show
a trimming of marabou. Especially at
tractive is combination Of soft broWn
with a yellow wooden sweater.
There is no reason In the world why
the woman who is clever enough to
knit her own sweaters should not also
be clever enough to devise marabou
trimming from marabou bought by the
yard.

the front legs resulting from their
striking the ground are considerably
relieved by sloping shoulders, while
straight shoulders, by not having this
effect, tend to promote early unsound-
ness Of these limbs.
Strong constitution, endurance, good
front action, and style are associated
with deep, well-sloped shoulders. For
draft purposes the shoulders should
have pronounced offsets, so that the
face of the collar will have plenty OF
bearing surface. The position of the
collar on shoulders which are deep
enough is not materially changed. The
heavier the pull the tighter the collar.
On shallow shoulders collar is
squeezed back with the result that the
skin and muscles beneath the collar
are often sore. Sharp, thin, prominent
withers add depth and wearing quail
ties to the shoulder. Shoulders that
run well into the back in the saddle
horse aid in holding the saddle in
place.

More Elaborate Models Gain Pop
uIarity as Season Grows.
Cotton Wolfe Material Most in Demand
For Those Not of Sports or
Tailored Type.

Summer blouses and sheer cottons
and linens have again become popular,
and the becomingly frilled models
which had been seen rather infre-
quently during the early season are
coming out. Cotton wolfe seems to be
the material most in demand for
ibIouses that are no$ strictly Of the
sports or tailored type, although hand
ikerchief and real Irish flax linens, ba-
itiste, etc., are also used.
The wolfe, however. is SO soft, laun-
ders so well and is so altogether de
sirable from the standpoint Of service
that it is a strong favorite. White

Contrasting coIors.

Some of the smartest new sweaters
are made with woods of three sharply
contrasting colors. For instance, a
bright green sweater shows band of
rose color about a foot wide just above
the lower edge and six-inch hem Or
edge of yellow. The collar OF green
shows stripes of the two colors. Other
equally startling combinations of color
appear among the new sweaters.

Large women wear separate skirts?
lmpossibIe!" exclalms Old Fogey. But
as usual, the world has progressed,
and the people who say sit can't be
done" are interrupted by somebody
doing it-and looking most attractive
in the process. This clever model
proves conciusively that separate
skirts designed by the new scientific
method can give the large figure the
fashionabIy svelt appearance OF the
smaller woman.

New Ginaham Hats.

Bingham hats are novelty and are
quite appealing, not only because OF
their smartness, but because cf their
appropriateness for seashore aud coun-
try wear. Ginghams in large plaids
and stripes are usually more effective
than those in smaller designs.

Dainty Frocks Of Muslin.

There are dainty thin frocks Of plain
blue or rose muslin, with straight fall

One pretty rock Of blue muslin is fin
ished with picot edge and ornamented
with oval patches of gray embroidery.
This frock is girdled with bits OF blue
muslin linked together with blue en-
amel buckles.

HAIGHT.

The barn on the farm of Walter
Barnes, recently purchased from DR..
Fells. was totally destroyed by fire
on Monday morning with all the con-
tents, consisting of this years hay,
a new corn planter, four tons of fer
tiliZer and other things.
Oakland Methodist Episcopal Church
held it's annual treat for the Sunday
School on Tuesday evening last. The
weather was rather cool for ice cream.
Corn cutting is the order of the
day, but the corn keeps green for this
time of the year, as most farmers are
done here by this time. 1t will be a
difficult matter to get hands enough
to save the crop which is about the
average yield. There is a larger acre
age planted than usual which will
make up the difference. Farmers are
paying $500 per day and hands are
scarce at that.
Mrs. Nellie Deer and son, of Balti-
more, who have been visiting relatives
for two weeks past returned home on
Wednesday last.
Mrs. Bernard Oursler and son Her
bert, paid visit to Mrs. Oursler's
parents last week.
1t will be quite relief for the men
who work in the dye house at Oak,
land Mills when the new dye house
is finished as they are rather much
exposed in the old one.

What French Women are Wearing.

! There is a cable report on the fash
ions in Paris in the September Wom-
ans Home Companion. The writer of
it says:
When officers and soldiers first ap-
peared on Paris streets, smart fea-
lures in the uniforms appealed to fem
| mime fancy and Immediately there
were launched street costumes mod
eled nearly exactly on war uniforms.
Naturally, what at first seemed smart
became cheapened, and the fad frown-
ed upon by that memorable law of
Parisiennes, good taste, had short
run to an absolute finish. From the
beginning, the Parisienne of war time
refused all conspicuOusness of gown
ing, and what thought she gave to the
subject was concentrated on an en-
deavOr to unite elegance to simplicity.
The little dress that has ruled so long
in Paris came into being from the
recognized need of busy women who,
under the strenuous new conditions,
demanded a dress that could be quick
ly put on and easily adjusted. Achieved
Immediately, it conquered the world
and is still the prevailing fashion in
Paris.
The first model was a straight sack
chemise, loosely belted and closed in
front. The sleeves were cut in one and
the neck was collarless. From this
developed many variations that ex-
tended into afternoon and evening
toiletteS."
