and decorated little tables which were
just outside the cave. Mr.. Giant helped
them and lent them many things such
as his fine sandwich cutter, which was
made out of sharp stone and which
cut the bread in no time at all!
They decorated the cave with au-
tumn leaves and branches of pine
trees. Soon it was time for the guests
to come.
They all appeared in fancy dress cos

Of all.
"Ah, Peter" said Billie Brownie,
laughing, 1--WE knew by your smile that
you had something up your sleeve
that is we knew you had an idea
So we thought the least we could do
was to dress in costumes"
And when all the guests saw every
Gnome dressed just alike and looking
ike a great, enormous set of clothes
pins, how they did laugh!
Just as soon as every guest arrived

Mr. Giant who now appeared at the
door of his cave, but get out great
stout rope. 1t was strong enough te
make a swing, and in few seconds
Mr.. Giant had fastened his end to an
old pine tree and Peter Gnome hat

the Gnomes dressed as clothespins
hoped on the long rope and said:
"We're all little clothespins out OF

laboring, both at work and pleasure,
until we are depleted in mind and in

Then we are sources of danger, not
only to ourselves, but to our whole sur
roundings, for a depleted man or
woman is always depressing. They
have not enough vitality to see things
brightly, to look at events in a sound
commonsense manner. Their opinion

mentally and physically devitalized
condition, and they take the dark

It take a sound mind in a sound
body to see things always rose-col-

with whom we are associated.
To keep a whole body means that
we must never lower its vitality unless
unavoidable, by incessant work, by So
called pleasures which really rob the
body of much necessary power NEEDED

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORp.

At this time it is particularly neces-
sary that the farmer do everything in
mis- power to prevent waste of grain
and other foodstuffs. A great deal
depends upon his ability to turn out
record crops and his wisdom in caring
for new crops until the produce is
placed on the market. There is a new
interest in the construction of corn
cribs and granaries.
The building shown in the accom-
panying illustrations is an excellent
type for the average farmer. 1t is a
combined corn crib and granary built
with two stories, 26 by 40 feet on the
ground. The height is IS feet to the
caves. There are corn cribs at the
sides and grain bins overhead, in the
center. A driveway 10 feet wide,
having 10 feet of headroom, runs
through the center below the bins.
Such building saves wastage, losses
from storms and dampness, and it
saves considerable labor in handling
the grain.
The driveway is workroom in win
ter. In summer and fall it is an en-
trance way for loads Of ear corn from
the husking and small grains from the
threshing machine. Between seasons
it answers for storage for farm wag-
ons that are in use a good deal

this style of garment, and then 1t can
easily be copied, which is no small
thing in these days of obligatory econ
omy.
Many of the blouses made in this
style are caught in below the waist
by a loose silk sash which is lightly
attached to the blouse here and there.
The ends of the sash are tied at the
back; other models are drawn IN by a
ribbon run through an inch-wide hem |;
others are caught in by band of fur
as indicated in my drawing. But, Of
course, the model illustrated is an out
door blouse.
You will notice that it is buttoned
right up to the throat at one side.
This practical and comfortable notion
is In great favor this autumn. The
blouse or dress bodices underneath
may be quite decollete, but the cor
rect thing is the coat or wrap which
buttons up to the throat and which can
be worn with or without a warm fur
tie
The combination of color shown in
the Paquin model is very effective
bright rust-red and black. I have seen
rust-red shown in oil the best estab-
lishments in a variety of materials.
This color is charming in velvet or vel
veteen and it looks its best when jux-
taposed with skunk or kolinsky.

On the peak of the cupola roof and
grounded by the shortest route. If
the equipment within the building con-
sists of any extensive metal parts,
these should also be grounded
through the lightning rod conductor.
The building must, of course, con-
form to any special demands made
upon it by the elevating machinery
which is selected. In general, the
cupola must be constructed so that
corn and grain may be delivered by
chute to the cribs and bins from the
elevator head. The floor must, for
some elevators, be constructed with
pit under the elevator shaft. There

so that the front of the wagon may

changes in such a building are easily
made. but the principal point to be
considered is the strength of the struc-
ture. This building has been very
carefully designed for strength with
economy of materials considered. The
farmer will do well to be sure that
any building which he intends to erect
for a similar purpose be carefully
checked over by someone who has ex-
perience In the construction of grain
loads and the strength of building ma

BUSTLE IS MODEST AFFAIR
As Used in the New Clothes, 1t Is Not

Bustle effects made their appearance
some time ago, and there is prospect

The barrel silhouette dropped out of

again. 1t was more favorably regard

IN PLACE OF FILET CROCHET
Substitute Which May Be Made at
Home and Represents Great Saving
in Time Invented.

There are a great many people who
admire filet crochet, yet they have
neither the time nor the patience to
make it, nor the means necessary for
buying the real article. 1t is for just
such people as the ones described that
his clever substitute has been invent
ed. 1t is q substitute which may be
made at home, and it may still be
classed under the general head Of GRO
chet, but 1t represents such a tremend-
ous saving in time, that it is worthy of
serious consideration.
This pattern filet is built up on a
plain crocheted mesh like the genuine
ACE; the only difference is that in the
| actual crocheting the smock of the lace
is ignored and just the open mesh is
| made. After the foundation has been
completed the desired motif or design

studding is Pinch by 6-inch stuff,
"a inches on centers, Is feet long.
Along the driveway, studs are Pinch
by 10-inch, II inches on centers, up to
the double Pinch by 10-inch plate
upon which the bin joists are placed.
These joists are 3-inch by 14inch
in size, placed II inches on centers.
The inner studs, above the plate just
mentioned are Pinch by 6-inch, u
inches on centers. The inner and out
er studs are tied together every 4
feet in both directions with Pinch by
6-inch sticks. Likewise, ties are
extended across the grain bins near
the center of the studs, feet apart.
The exterior of the corn crib wall is
covered with 1-inch by 6-inch crib
siding spaced 1 inch apart. The. end
of the building outside of the bins and
also the walls of the cupola are COW

winter. Grain is spouted down to the
tanning mill, cleaned, graded and
spouted back to the bins by machinery.
A cup elevator is built in the CEN
ter of the building which takes grain
from the boot on the floor, elevates it
to the cupola and deposits it in a hop
per. From this hopper the small grains
are delivered by spout to the different
grain bins and ear corn is distributed
in the same way to the different parts
of the four cribs.
Because the load of the grain when
the bins are full is considerable, this
STRUCTURE must be strongly built. The
foundations are important, and must
be proportioned to carry the load with
out settling. The foundation walls and
footings and the floors are of concrete.
The foundation wall extending around
the outside of the building is made
solid with footings two feet wide by
eight inches deep. There are two cross
foundation walls under the interior
bents which support the joists under
the grain bins. These cross walls are
carried down to footings two feet wide
by one foot deep. The concrete drive
way is laid at grade, only enough ex-
cavation being made to prepare the

sM0CK is NOT A MERE FAD
1t Is the Most Comfortable Working
Garment for the Gardener, Stu
dent, o. Artist.

The smock is not, as most people
who do not wear it suppose, a mere
feminine fad; it is something more !;
it is the comfortable working garment
Of the gardener, the student and the
artist. That it is comfortable needs
no proving, and that it is having a
tremendous vogue also goes without
proving. But like everything else that
has a vogue, it's bound to be abused.
Silk, satin or any other of the flossy
stuffs is decidedly not the thing for
the workshop. But here's one smock
that is.
1t is three-quarter length, raglan
sleeved, unbelted, shocked true TO
type, and-of heavy art canvas. The
shocking front and back and on the
sleeve ends is rather elaborate; th5n
there is a bit of oriental embroidery
on the rather deep sailor collar just
to preserve the feminine air.

All In the Family.

At recent dinner, given in his hon
or by the Society of Kentuckians in
New York, Champ Clark, responding
to the address of welcome, told this
story:
He said that the corner of the cid
state in which he was born had in it
quite a colony of members of the fam
lily that gave Abe Lincoln to the ma
ton. They were as poor as were most
of the residents of the neighborhood
in those early days. One of the more
prosperous members Of the tribe was
an uncle of the future emancipation.
This man, so Champ Clark said, had a
good share of the wit and the common
sense and some of the physical charac-
teristics of his great nephew.
GAS a small boy" said the narrator,
st remember the old fellow very well.
One night, as he slept in his log cabin,
his wife nudged him into wakefulness
and then he heard a sound of squawk-
ing in the henhouse.
"fGet up-quickr said the wife
Somebody's after our chickens. Take
your gun and shoot at 'em before they

back in bed; I reckon I'd rather not
do that. I might kill some of the kin

Blouse Coatee Is Rage for Both
Indoor and Outdoor Wear.
Waistline Where II Is Caught
in by Sash or Fur.

One of the new and very popular
blouse coatees, which extend a few
inches below the normal waistline and
which give a peculiarly youthful,
though rather boyish, appearance to
the figure, Is shown in the sketch.
These blouse coates are the rage of
the hour, and indoor blouses of thin
materials are made on very much the
same lines. The model illustrated was
created by Paquin, and was COM
posed of rust-red wool velveteen, with
a sash of skunk, and the same fur on
the ends of the sleeves. 1t was ex-
tremely chic. And quite uncommon,
writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris corre-
spondent.
Several of our leading dressmakers
are favoring this outline and it will
certainly take firm hold on popular
taste. There is something careless, and,

cheted design.
1t is easily seen that this device will
work best if rather plain patterns are
used. For instance, stripes of the lace
which require lettering, such as laun-
dry bags, baby pillows or coverlets,
or slumber pillows and the like, prove
very successful treated this way. This
is because the letters have compara-
lively straight edges and may be cas-
lily and distinctly darned in place.

flooded with brown.
